WAR:Bankruptcy of Moral Character

   Bob Jones Sr. used to say (1949-1953), "The trouble with this
country, basically, is a bankruptcy of moral character." I am sure he
was right. To illustrate this he would show how the "old time"
educational philosophy contrasted with the "new time" educational
philosophy.

   What Bob Jones Sr. was trying to get across was that, Christian or
not, an educational philosophy that assumed the child was unruly and
self-centered and should therefore be corrected, disciplined, and
forced to do things that he didn't want to do, was always superior to
any educational philosophy that assumed the child was an angel and
could only be hindered by rules and regulations, and "frustrated" from
becoming a genius.

   With the switch in philosophy (1920-1940) the SWITCH disappeared
from the educational system, and it became the most dangerous
environment in America (1964-1984), literally. You would be safer in a
coal mine or a bomb plant than in a big city high school.

   My theory is that the news media controls the MINDS of the NEA and
the congressmen as well as the District Court and Supreme Court judges.
It does this because it has power to make or break any individual or
any establishment; in some cases, power to break the social and
economic structure of a whole state or even a section of the United
States.

   It is a news media "religious crusade" that doubles the crime rate
overnight and destroys every hindrance and restriction to immorality
and licentiousness in less than a week. It is this constant, eternal
MEDDLING with everyone's affairs night and day that prevents anyone in
America from developing character.

   I will show you what I mean. I am going to take TEN LESSONS IN
CHARACTER that every sane parent in America would like to teach to
their sons and daughters and show how not one child involved would have
the chance of a snowball in hell at developing ANY character qualities
if they stopped to look at a newspaper or a television set.

   1. Honesty is the best policy: "Go on, son, admit that you stole
that watermelon (or apple, or whatever). Take your punishment like a
man; don't lie about it."

   News media: NATIONAL HOLIDAY for M.L. King, called by the FBI "the
most notorious LIAR in America."

   2. Don't be wasteful: "Turn off the lights when you are not using
them, and keep the central air conditioning above 70 degrees in the
summer. It is wrong to waste money."

   News media: the American military left the following equipment in
Vietnam when they evacuated: forty helicopters, fourteen bombers,
twenty-five tanks, 155 trucks, five hundred machine guns, two thousand
rifles, five hundred thousand rounds of ammunition, forty-five boats,
three hundred artillery pieces, and nine million dollars worth of other
supplies; all were in serviceable condition. The total loss was fifteen
million dollars, not counting the cost of the war, which cost an
average of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to kill ONE MAN.

   3. Don't cut classes at school: "Don't you realize that education is
the most important thing in life?"

   News media: Michael Jackson's yearly income was fourteen million
dollars; he never went to any college--neither did Madonna. Students at
Michigan State University are known for drinking heavily; AIDS is more
frequently found on college campuses than anywhere outside of the
"ghetto." Social promotions will be given to all black students who
can't pass the classes in middle school. No IQ tests are required to
determine intelligence.

   4. Learn to save your money: "Put it in your piggy bank, and get
used to putting away savings for a rainy day."

   News media: banks face disaster; government taking them over. Home
Savings and Loans bankrupt: YOU HAVE TO PAY DOUBLE. Franklin National
Bank of New York fails. Largest banks in USA are in serious trouble;
the value of the dollar is now seventeen cents. 1929--all savings in
the banks completely wiped out.

   5. America is a great country and deserves your tax support: "Pay
taxes and never complain."

   News media: government grant goes to artist to picture Christ
submerged in urine. Government grant gives scientists five hundred
thousand dollars to investigate the mating habits of the sea urchin in
the Coral Sea. House votes forty million of the taxpayer's money to
rebuild Catholic cathedrals in the Philippines; an additional forty-
five million for the Catholic church in Poland. Charles Manson lives in
an air-conditioned cell with his own television; taxpayer's bill is
twenty thousand dollars a year. Senator Javits paid six thousand
dollars in taxes on a ninety thousand dollar income. M.L. King Jr. paid
a ten thousand dollar income tax while complaining about still being in
"slavery."

   6. If you want to be an author, study English and work and sacrifice
as you study: "It takes dedication to be an author; it is a lifetime
labor to get one best-seller published."

   News media: murderer Bundy is offered a million dollars for his
autobiography; Nixon receives a hundred thousand dollar advance to
write his memoirs; Steven Weeds's book on Patty Hearst is a top best-
seller.

   7. In this great democracy, government is of the people, by the
people, and for the people: "Stand up for your country, and be proud of
America!"

   News media: five ecologists stop the building of an oil line. Twenty
protestors shut down a nuclear power plant. Forced school busing is
done at bayonet point in Virginia. Forced racemixing in Mississippi and
Arkansas at bayonet point. District Court judge raises property taxes
by himself. Income taxes continue without any vote taken on them.
Government demands end of gold standard (1933) and silver standard
(1961), and enforces it without permission, giving people paper for
both revenues.

   8. Live within your income: "Never get indebted to anyone."

   News media: FDR devalues the currency, starting a national debt that
goes to three trillion dollars under Carter, Kennedy, Rockefeller,
Johnson, and Reagan. Detroit and New York are bankrupt due to debt. The
USA is in debt to the international bankers. Mexico cannot pay her
debts. Russia defaults on fourteen billion dollars it owes the USA.
Buffalo is broke. Legislatures meet to "tap new source of revenue" to
pay off Michigan's fifty-five million dollar default.

   8. It is wrong to steal: "Don't ever take anything that isn't yours."

   News media: so-and-so takes so and-so's wife; so and-so takes
so-and- so's husband. Black rioters in Detroit and Watts steal five
million dollars worth of television sets. Russia takes Afghanistan;
China takes Tibet; Cuba takes Honduras; the US government taxes the
churches for their employees after taking prayer and the Bible out of
the schools.

   9. Stop fighting: "Fighting doesn't settle anything; learn how to
get along."

   News media: war in Lebanon; war in Cambodia; war in Pakistan; war on
Crete; war in Nicaragua; war in Ireland; war in Morocco; war in
Algeria; slaughter in Beirut; Cubans go to Angola to kill for Castro;
Syria threatens war.

   10. The key to success is work: "Do your duty, and work hard, and
you will always come out on top."

   News media: striking Eastern employees receive four hundred dollars
a week while off work. Unemployment compensation payments are higher
than the salary of a job; welfare mother with food stamps and no job
living in a plush apartment that costs seven hundred dollars a month.
The highest paid men in 1989 were drug distributors. Average income of
non-working blacks in Detroit or Washington, DC, is twice as high as
average income of a forty hour a week worker in St. Charles, Virginia,
or Haralan, Kentucky. Mother wins fourteen million dollars in damage
suit charging that a truck didn't get out of its own lane when her son
crossed the lane to hit it head on. A queer in California is awarded
four million dollars for being "emotionally upset."

   Any teenaged kid can spend two hours a day watching television and
know that honesty, truth, hard work, loyalty, patriotism,
dependability, and discipline don't "pay off" any better than
drunkenness, laziness, moral filth, dishonesty, crime, lying, stealing,
or sex perversion. Moral character at the end of the church age is a
JOKE as far as 90% of the American population is concerned. Except for
a few isolated places where a man or woman can beat the living fire out
of their kid without going to jail over it, or a place where the kid
has to work in order to stay alive, the general picture is absolute
moral ruin.

   The government and the press (see our articles on the decisions of
the Federal courts) are present to encourage crime, mediocrity, and
dependency on Welfare and Socialism, and they both promote the idea
(and demonstrate it) that ANYONE can get away with ANYTHING under
certain conditions (situation ethics), and that any type of degeneracy
(a "lifestyle") is permissible. A man or woman today who is successful
in instilling MORAL CHARACTER into a "youngster" should be awarded the
Nobel Maximum Achievement Prize and the Croix de Guerre. He will do so
in the face of a hostile government, a vicious news media, a degenerate
school system, and an apostate church system.

   More power to you, if you can do it!
