Dare To Discipline?!
The line between Strict parenting and Abusive parenting is thin and blurry. These kids will never be able to trust other people and will never be able to trust their own judgment in making moral decisions. They will grow dependent on external moral authority and will feel comfortable in strict hierarchical organizations, be it the church, the military, or the GOP. Their moral and intellectual development is arrested and their relationship with other humans (and animals, etc.) will be pathological. They will love force, e.g., guns, football, powerful machines, and war. They will never have enough confidence in humanity to become liberal.
