Raise Your Boy as an Addict

Steve Gallagher has written the noted article in jest, of course. Nevertheless, it should be understood that anybody who practices these principles Steve has mentioned below might very well be raising his son to become addicted to pornography. As someone who has ministered to hundreds of porn addicts over the years, Steve can testify that the majority of them were taught these very principles by their parents—many of whom claimed to be Christians! If you have a young son, Steve would encourage you to take a good, hard look at what you are teaching him through your own life. For those of you who wish your sons to become addicted to pornography, there are a few simple principles you should incorporate into your lives.

1). First of all, cross his will as seldom as possible. In fact, give him everything he wants because the more you do, the more he will become accustomed to having everything his way in life. Take Adonijah for instance, who attempted to steal the kingdom from his younger brother Solomon. We are told in I Kings “his father had never crossed him at any time…” Thus, by spoiling him rotten, David perfectly prepared him to aggressively go after what he wanted—even if it meant killing his own brother. Perhaps Solomon had him in mind when he wrote, “The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.” (Proverbs 29:15) Raising a child with correction establishes boundaries in life that will hinder him from becoming addicted to lasciviousness.

NSF Surfing for Smut National Science Foundation (NSF) employees wasted scads of time and tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars perusing online porn on the clock—and Iowa Sen. Charles Grassley (R–Iowa) wants to know how such lapses could occur at a $6-billion federal agency. The accounts of employees' surfing for smut are documented in the NSF’s semiannual report (pdf), which was published in September and notes seven cases of pornographic exploits among the foundation's 1,500 employees uncovered by Thomas Cross, the foundation’s inspector general (IG). “The semiannual report raises serious questions about how the National Science Foundation manages its resources," Grassley said in a statement today. "Congress ought to demand a full accounting before it gives the agency another $3 billion in the stimulus bill" set to be debated by the Senate next week. (The House passed an $819 billion version of the package yesterday.) In a letter sent to Cross on Tuesday, Grassley requested that the IG send him all pertinent audit and other reports relating to the NSF investigation to "ensure that NSF properly fulfills its mission to strengthen scientific and engineering research, and makes responsible use of the public funding provided for these research disciplines." Grassley received the documents today, after The Politico published a story on the investigation yesterday. Read On

Intrusive Government The Obama administration, completing its first full week, wasted no time

getting priorities in order. First, issue formal apologies to the world, and then begin advancing massive, intrusive government at home. The president chose Arab television, Al Arabiya, to give his first sit down interview. He took the opportunity to confirm the long held Arab view that the real problem is America and President Obama apologized on our behalf. "...America was not born as a colonial power," he told the Arab viewing audience - implying we are now. And he regretfully confessed that "We sometimes make mistakes. We are not perfect." Sorry, but weren't we the ones that were attacked? Do we not stand in long lines and disrobe in airports because of them? Does anyone recall anywhere, anytime hearing apologies from any Arab or Muslim leader? At the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, the president's confidant and advisor Valery Jarrett continued with apologies. This time to the world's business and political movers and shakers. Ms. Jarrett told the crowd that this economic crisis did not occur by "happenstance" but is the result of our "profound rresponsibility." And the Europeans, Asians, and Russians couldn't have agreed more. Read On
