America, Then and Now

Currently, criticism is aimed at Newt Gingrich for his allegedly suggesting American children learn to clean toilets. His column today located at
NewtGingrich@email.humanevents.com explains what he is actually talking about, the worth ethic that made our country great. His critics left out he also suggested the children work in the school’s cafeteria, the office, the classroom, and not just clean toilets—and for real money.

Can you imagine the nonsense from the Labor Department that says children cannot work on the family farm?! Another American institution that helped make America great. By that equation, probably coming down the road, is the edict that girls cannot help their mothers around the house.

Why should we be like Europe in these respects? Read what has happened to France in a book by Corrine Maier, Hello Laziness: Why Hard Work Doesn’t Pay. Then be glad she singles out America as the exception to her rule. What America really does need now is the right man in the White House who knows how to govern and to lead. ♥
