I think its sad what this primary is doing to our children. Lest we forget, we are the role models for our children. By Hillary winning last night it showed our children that you can get ahead by tearing others down, cheating, manipulating and all of those things that a moral society teaches children is wrong. I don't think any parent who voted for Hillary in PA can complain when the soccer coach tells them that their kid stole the other team's equipment, or when the little league coach tells them that their child was upset with a loss and took a bat and beat another kid unconscious.
I think we have more than a Presidential primary at stake here. I think our votes are answering the unspoken election question of the moral fabric of our society. Will you vote for a society without morals, where anything goes, and you get ahead by tearing others down ... or do we want a society full of hope, fairness, dignity and prosperity?
I think if Clinton won the nomination we would have a choice between a President who will stay 100 years in Iraq or a President who will start a nuclear war ... just to show how tough she is.
In my opinion, toughness has nothing to do with how well you throw a punch, but has everything to do with how well you show restraint and wisdom.
I pray for this country and I pray for this world ... because we are headed in the wrong direction if we as a nation join Hillary on her low road to ego-dom.
