Expressions of Liberty

A commentary on the governmental respect for natural human rights as expressed by the founders of the United States and how it effects us today. I also show how the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution and other related documents are not dead documents in America today, but merely ignored and misused.

Name:
Location: Champaign, Illinois, United States

I am a classical liberal which is considered a type of conservative in these modern days. I am pro-right to life, pro-right to liberty, pro-parental rights, pro-right to property and a number of other natural human rights.

Easy Divorce Is The Governments Violation Of Our Children’s Right To Happiness

The Constitution of the United States affirms that it was put in effect to promote the general welfare and promote the blessings of liberty for citizens of the United States and their descendents and our government officials take a oath to uphold it yet the do not lift a single finger to keep their word.

One reason I say this is that the incidence of divorce in this country is high and has been high as America has been attacked from the debaucherous left. One of the attacks is to make divorce more acceptable in our society. I ask what defense have the politicians put up against this attract? Here are a few effects of divorce in our country I obtained from paper titled "The Effects of Divorce on Children and Families" by Dr. Todd E. Linaman .

* Social science research reveals that the effects of divorce not only impact a child into adulthood, but they also affect the next generation of children as well.
* Children from divorced families drop out of school at twice the rate of children from intact families.
* The single best predictor of teen suicide is parental divorce and living in a single parent household.
* Children of divorced parents are significantly more likely to become delinquent by age 15, regardless of when the divorce took place, than are children whose own parents are married.
* Comparing all family structures, drug use in children is lowest in the intact married family. .
* Children whose parents divorce have lower rates of graduation from high school and college and also complete fewer college courses.


Politicians have this information as well as many more reason divorce is destructive of our society yet the do not act to limit it. Politicians can enact laws to make divorce more difficult such as mandating a long waiting period. They can also provide marriage councilors who will work with the husband and wife to aid them in overcoming their difficulties. Money spent to prevent divorce is money not spent picking up the shattered lives of the couples or their children. If our government does not act to secure our rights to a stable and secure family life then we need to consider the words in the Declaration of Independence which go like this.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness


We need to take these words to heart and stand up for our right to the blessings of liberty and if absolutely necessary go to war over them as our forbearers did. I hope and pray that we do not have to go that far to obtain the freedom we were promised by the Declaration and the Constitution.
