This evening I want to talk about the American family. A lot has happened in the last fifty years.
Families are not as big. The rate of divorce is high. Parents worry about their kids more. Fathers are often out of the picture.
There is a good thing though. Parents are not considered the enemy to the extent they were fifty years ago. Thanks to cell phones parents and kids can always communicate. Kids can call their mother for help. Mothers can call their kids to see how things are going.
But where is love? A lot of women have children without any intention of marrying the child’s father. Men do not seem to mind being on the periphery, to have no power and influence over their kids, to not live under the same roof as their kids and be a unit with the child’s mother.
America needs more love between men and women. America needs more couples marrying and having kids so we do not disappear from the map and Western culture does not disappear from the world.
It’s funny. People in their twenties have pets not children. Pornography viewing is astoundingly high. Sex with another man is the choice of an incredible number of men.
This lifestyle is celebrated throughout America. But this lifestyle does not produce children.
What can be done to make Americans want to have more kids? Some people say rent and loans to buy a house are too high for most people to plan to have children. Other people say health care is too expensive and wages are too low.
But there is more to it than this. Sex became a hobby over the last fifty years. People ridiculed marriage and men. Americans stopped believing in God. Too many Americans lost faith in their country and in Western culture.
My administration is pushing for rent control, more housing construction, cheaper home loans. We in Washington push for higher wages and affordable health insurance.
But if I succeed in all of these will Americans have more children? Our hedonism is ingrained in us. A hatred of Western culture is so deep and enjoyable for those who hate it, it’s as if they want our civilzation to disappear. If all of my administration’s economic measures became law, I doubt if there would be a large increase in the number of children.
I try to be optimistic but I am unable to be. A way to get Americans to have more children is for poiticians and movie stars to have 4-5 children so the rest of America is inspired by its leaders and heroes to create a populous America where parks are filled with children and streets and sidewalks are filled with kids playing outside.
In closing, it is a heartbreaker for me that my countrymen have no lust to have children, that our men are uninspiring.
We lust for the wrong things.
Good night.
