It doesn't matter whether or not parents are too busy or unprepared. It is not the President's job to take of their responsibilities.

Thanks! One can only trudge through the scum at the HuffPo for so long before the lunacy starts to take hold. It is like a breath of fresh air being here.

"Fear is the foundation of most governments; but it is so sordid and brutal a passion, and renders men in whose breasts it predominates so stupid and miserable, that Americans will not be likely to approve of any political institution which is founded on it. "

"No taxes can be devised which are not more or less inconvenient and unpleasant. "

George Washington, Farewell Address, September 19, 1796

"The basis of our political systems is the right of the people to make and to alter their Constitutions of Government. But the Constitution which at any time exists, 'till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole People is sacredly obligatory upon all. "

I understand your point, I guess in my mind if you disregard the principles that the constitution was founded upon than you aren't really defending it, you are simply seeking to manipulate it into conforming with your agenda. I mean if you asked yourself whether or not the New Deal, the Fed, and other progressive programs (auto bailouts, cap and trade) fell in line with the principles of the constitution even if they weren't expressely forbidden by the constitution, you would be making a very tough case. But if it helps to clarify, than sure, we are defending the principles upon which the constitution was created.
