NUGENT: Who let the wuss out?

Fedzilla dependency has resulted in a nation of soft parents and kids

Every kid in America should have at least 10 chores every day and do homework for a couple of hours every night at the kitchen table. Parents and teachers should act more like U.S. Marine Corps drill sergeants than coddling softies who are more worried about little Billy’s and Suzy’s feelings than they are about turning Billy and Suzy into unstoppable, motivated, hard, smart and confident Americans.

America has perfected the art of making wusses instead of hard-charging, freedom-addicted people like our forefathers. We are now wusses raising wusses, which is generational suicide. We are eating our young and liking it.

The way out of this is so simple, it’s stupid. All it takes is some tough love and commitment by everyone in the social and cultural chain, many of whom are wusses themselves. They need to be weeded out and excommunicated.

America needs hard-charging warriors, not weak wusses.
