What's Love got to do with it!

I was once told that the love that u have for ur child, children is the same love that u should have for your spouse. I think about my two or eleven year old sons  and my 16 going on 30 year old daughter I realize that their is nothing that I wouldnt do for them. I am in love w/ my children. Coming home to them and getting a big hug, or seeing them light up and scream "daddy" man what a feeling. It makes me want to embrace them and shower them with gifts and love. This feeling is also the same reason why I will punish them when they do wrong. I want the best for them and I need them to reflect on decisions and behaviors that brought us to this chastisement, in order to not repeat it and to learn from it; I remember hearing my father say before a spanking that "it is gonna hurt me more than it will hurt you" never really understanding it but now I totally get it.& So when I hear people say stuff like we need a president who is in love with america it makes me question their love for america. Cause America like a child needs to be cared for and nurtured, & she needs guidance and support.  America should not be treated as Cinderella and be only apreciated when she is working so that you dont have to. America deserves rest, america deserves parents who will share the workload, america deserves parents who will chip in when needed. America deserves parents that will work together. Could you imagine if your parents decided because they couldnt agree on something the best plan was to do nothing. There are many successful people in America that will tell you that acheiving success was not easy. They will tell you they did what it took to make it, cutting back, working a second shift, and even a second job. At the end they are succesful because they were willing to go the extra mile. I am two years into my own business and understand that mantra. See I treat my business as if it is my child and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to succeed, so that I can secure not only mine but my childrens future. Thats how the people running this country who claim to really love it should feel as well. Working a second job or an extra shift is the same as increased revenues,  and cutting back is equivalent to entitlement cuts. Things are bad and if we expect them to get better we must all do our part. I said all of this to say if you really love someone you will do anything for them, you will give until it hurts, while giving until it helps. So if you are not willing to do so,than your are all talk and so now  I question, do you know what love is? And your recent actions make me ask Whats love got to do with it?
