Darwinist liberals are up to no good, again. Now, they want to ban spanking in the home. This is no joke. Sally Lieber (Democrat assemblywoman from Mountain View) says California families don’t know how to raise kids. She’ll show them. Her new law (introduced in the State Assembly) will outlaw, “spanking, hitting, and slapping a child under 4 years old.” Parents will go to jail if they don‘t obey. Spanking causes pain, she says, “it victimizes children and breeds violence in society.” She sounds sooooo righteous. Who’d want to hurt a 3-year-old?
Sally appears to be an angel of light but Bible readers know her campaign against spanking is diabolical. She’s like mother Eve who listened to a serpent and paid with her life. Secular Sally says don’t spank. Biblical wisdom says spank (Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; The rod of correction will drive it far from him). No doubt, secular Sally scorns biblical writers. They’re mean and cruel, she’d say. Sally is mean and cruel. Children will pay a terrible price if she gets her way. Unfortunately, Sally is popular.
Where does Assemblywoman Sally get her crazy idea? No one knows for sure but the San Jose The Mercury News (Jan. 18, 2007) says she got it from her veterinarian. That’s right. She has a cat named Snoop and her vet said never hit the cat. “And if you never hit a cat,” Sally reasons, “you should never hit a kid.”
The Bible is honorable and Sally is harebrained foolish. The lack of discipline victimizes children and breeds violence in society; not spanking. Family and school chastisement train children up in the way they should go. Like Eve, Sally Lieber, the Democrat assemblywoman from Mountain View, is following the malevolent forces of darkness.

Why are criminals and failures getting Lake County’s most prestigious awards? Last October, Janine Smith-Citron (Lake Family Resource Center’s Programs Coordinator) generously honored sheriff's Deputy Derik Navarro with the esteemed “Law Enforcement Officer of Distinction” award. He demonstrated “professionalism and compassion” with victims of domestic violence, she gushed. Recently, he was arrested and charged with 18 felony counts related to sex acts with minors. Just how much research goes into these grand decorations, anyway?!
Melissa Fulton (Executive Director of the Lakeport Chamber of Commerce) recently flattered applause and compliments on Louise Nan, district superintendent of Konocti Unified School District. She’s “Woman of the Year,” burbled award judges praising her for, “years working in the Konocti Unified School District.” Her smiling face glowed under the STARS SHINE headlines on the front pages of the local newspapers. Unfortunately, her students at KUSD don’t shine when they take state tests. Louise, no doubt, is a friendly lady but she can’t teach kids to read, write and do arithmetic.
The same honor judges gave Bill Cornelison a “Lifetime Achievement” prize at the “Stars of Lake County” celebration. Bill was superintendent of Lake County Office of Education for many years. How do common, ordinary and unsuccessful, government employees get such high awards? They dress nice and smile a lot but, then, so does Barney.
It’s as plain as the nose on your face, Fulton and Smith-Citron need remedial classes in award giving. Sheriff's deputies charged with crimes should receive gleaming “Fleecing Taxpayer” medals instead of being “Officers of Distinction.” Superintendents of failing schools should be “Bogus Bumbling Professors” instead of “Women of the Year.” Newspaper editors who don’t pay attention to who‘s getting awards and for what, should get a great big “Empty Suit“ trophy. “The worse I get the more popular I am,“ is supposed to be droll humor.
