How about you teach your kids right from wrong? ... Worked great right up until the 1960's you morons stopped teaching kids things like "morality" and "responsibility". It isn't the government job.

By "you morons" I assume you mean schools, which, in case you've forgotten, ARE run by the government. Schools used to teach morality and manners, etc. Now they are pushing the opposite agenda - immorality, homosexuality, day of silence, abortion, etc. So, yes, at this point, it is no longer the job of government to teach morals. It is incapable of doing that anymore.

It never was, nor was it even intended to. As our present predicament amply demonstrates.

One last thought for you to ponder, my friend, from one of my favorite conservative thinkers

What is ominous is the ease with which some people go from saying that they don't like something to saying that the government should forbid it. When you go down that road, don't expect freedom to survive very long.
--Thomas Sowell

Be good and take care!

Er... no. I mean you. Personally. They are your damn kids. You look after them. Don’t count on the government to do a good job of it.

Uh, government was never cabable of compulsory morality, and goverment schools a did not exist until the late 1800s and really got going good in the progressive era.

You seem like someone who is arguing that government is the solution. If that is the case, I suggest you take a good, close look at your principles.
