I particularly like this video. It was produced when I was still a child, about four years old. I see it as something of a bridge back to that time when my parents were still young.

Do I agree with everything President Eisenhower did? No. I detest the minimum wage, and I consider the interstate highway system (that helped to end toll roads) a disaster. Instead of steadfastly fighting the socialism creeping into our system, Eisenhower implicitly accepted too much of it.

Nonetheless, during the 50's, the American people still respected Christian values. Even though our parents neglected to instruct their children in Christianity as they should (and did not appreciate the magnitude of their failure), they still believed.

Without proper Christian instruction, children do not know what to believe. Therefore, when I came of age during the sixties, I hardly understood the concept of homosexuality. Now I think it self evident that homosexual behavior is both defective and immoral. Yet I see why those who insist that we must accept homosexuality as both right and proper succeed in persuading so many, peer pressure. If we do not think homosexual couples have the "right" to marry and adopt children, those advocates call us evil homophobes. Thus, "progress" has become making "gay rights" a major election issue.

When gun-toting Christian men and the ladies they loved founded this nation, they defined rights differently. They wanted the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Instead of forcing their beliefs upon others, they wanted the right to live as they each believe God wanted them to live. Now the self-styled "tolerant" among us insist upon instructing everyone else in what to believe, and these are the people we allow to run our schools and teach our children.
