If you didn't know Jesus and you didn't fear the Lord....why would anyone get married?
If you are a 25 yr old guy, living in your mom's basement, having her cook and clean for you so you can head out to the bars and fornicate with a bunch of different women....many of which are super willing for a one-night-stand...why would you get married??
Even if you really started to like one woman in particular...why would you buy the cow if she is offering you the milk for free? Almost everyone you know is saying that marriage sucks or is already divorced....what's in it for you??
Here is just further evidence that our country is on the edge of the abyss....and the politicians will have NO WAY of bringing us back from it. We are now in the realm of realizing that the ONLY chance we have to turn this river around and make it flow the correct way...is to have God intervene and spark a CHRISTIAN REVIVAL.
If President Obama wants to reduce income inequality, he should focus less on redistributing income and more on fighting a major cause of modern poverty: the breakdown of the family. A man mostly raised by a single mother and his grandparents who defied the odds to become president of the United States is just the person to take up the cause.
"Marriage inequality" should be at the center of any discussion of why some Americans prosper and others don't. According to Census Bureau information analyzed by the Beverly LaHaye Institute, among families headed by two married parents in 2012, just 7.5% lived in poverty. By contrast, when families are headed by a single mother the poverty level jumps to 33.9%.
And the number of children raised in female-headed families is growing throughout America. A 2012 study by the Heritage Foundation found that 28.6% of children born to a white mother were out of wedlock. For Hispanics, the figure was 52.5% and for African-Americans 72.3%. In 1964, when the war on poverty began, almost everyone was born in a family with two married parents: only 7% were not.
Attitudes toward marriage and having children have changed in America over the past 50 years, and low-income children and their mothers are the ones who are paying the price. The statistics make clear what common sense tells us: Children who grow up in a home with married parents have an easier time becoming educated, wealthy and successful than children reared by one parent. As the Heritage study states: "The U.S. is steadily separating into a two-caste system with marriage and education as the dividing line. In the high-income third of the population, children are raised by married parents with a college education; in the bottom-income third, children are raised by single parents with a high-school diploma or less."
One of the differences between the haves and the have-nots is that the haves tend to marry and give birth, in that order. The have-nots tend to have babies and remain unmarried. Marriage makes a difference. Heritage reports that among white married couples, the poverty rate in 2009 was just 3.2%; for white nonmarried families, the rate was 22%. Among black married couples, the poverty rate was only 7%, but the rate for non-married black families was 35.6%.
Certainly by now we all know that bastards have a MUCH HIGHER CHANCE of ending up on drugs and in prison than children raised with a father in the home. Guessing that legal pot coming soon to a state near you is NOT going to help that mess.
72% of all black babies are born to single mothers?? How is that even possible?? Answer: because of legalized abortion and welfare.
What??
Yep. 50 years ago if a black man got a woman pregnant and they weren't married, her daddy would organize something called a "shotgun" marriage...and the community would pressure the man to marry and stay with the woman he violated.
Today when a black woman gets pregnant the boyfriend says, "Abort that fetus!" And if she refuses then he says, "Then that ain't my problem anymore!! This kid is now YOUR CHOICE and I'm outta here!"
Then the woman goes to see her friends and they say, "Aww baby, you don't need that thug anyway!! We all got babies here and we don't have any men in sight!! Who needs em!! All you have to do is go to Building #706 on 2nd Street and get signed up for the "free money" that the government owes to single women with children."
But watch how POLITICALLY INCORRECT that telling the truth has become. There isn't a white man in the world who could dare tell the truth about the problems in the black and Hispanic communities!! Reverend Jessie Jackson would have a hernia!!
Oh yeah....Ari Fleischer is the author of this article and he is a Jew.....I wonder if that will make people even more upset as the discussion about "the haves" vs. "the have-nots" continues to heat up?
Of course the Democrats will say, "We need to give the poor people MORE MONEY!! And we need to take it from the rich people who have it all!!"
Can you start to understand how societies end up melting down?? What kind of glue will their be to hold it together when the family becomes a quaint idea that only those "Bible bangers" cling to...along with their guns?
