Exactly. That’s why they should be called “regressives” instead of “progressives”.

“What shocks an audience today will be acceptable tomorrow and thus the contemporary dramatist [or reality show producer, my note] is constantly impelled to seek further excesses to gratify a warped taste which he has himself implanted in the public mind....”

Which means glorification of pedophilia is coming soon.

Of course depravity is their real intent, but they’re not likely to admit it. They use it to cement their position as being opposed to everything that is traditional, but deception is their means to achieve a particular end. You can’t separate the end from the means, however.

I haven’t watched the Grammys for years. Not because I have considered them immoral. Simply because I have no interest in them. They are of no relevance to me or my enjoyment of music. I don’t consider the term “Grammy Winner” to be a valid credential. Same with the CMAs. Those actual talents who win Grammys or CMAs have to bubble up through other efforts to win my esteem, usually years later.

I have felt as an outsider because of this. Abandoned by the music scene. Not that I cared much, but I did think it shameful that artists who worked diligently to perfect their craft would have to sit on the sidelines and watch the industry manipulate the markets, a manipulation obvious to everyone, but, like the recent abandonment of constitutional government, inexplicably ignored.

Perhaps the writer here has finally explained the foundations of this studied ignorance.

I didn’t either, but the media forces the images at you anyway.

Sex Education under Common Core is teaching our children to behave like barnyard animals. And we expect God to help us and bless our country? I think not!

Yeah, the advertising is hard to avoid and would itself have been considered porn a few years ago.

Eric Cantor may have just tapped the “money spot” that may lead to a political “boom”.

When Republicans talk, they tend to reach small business owners because those small business owners know Conservative and liberal policies affect them through first hand experience. And unless you have that experience, you are going to be just another person looking for a way to make money, period. So while the job providers have all the insider know how, the workers for them do not (nor may not care). This places workers in a strange position because in their ignorance, and their will to make money, they will gravitate towards anyone who they think will make them more money. This is where class warfare gets “populism” and people feel as though they are going to get something at the expense of “the greedy.”

What I find occurring on a daily basis is that many young people who need jobs are having tremendous difficulty right now trying to find a good one because of their state of mind, but they don’t realize that their state of mind is the root cause of their problems.

For example, some of my friends who voted for Barack Obama expected a lot from him. But the problem is, he is a socialist. Not realizing what that is, they expected him to help the economy and award them jobs. But no, that is capitalism, so in essence you have a population of people who are voting for socialists, and ideally hate capitalism, but subconsciously know (by simply living in America) that they need capitalism (not realizing that this is so), and are tremendously upset when they pursue capitalism.

And if you want your own place, want to produce your own income, and start a family, then those ambitions alone qualify you as a Capitalist.

It is too unfortunate that an entire population of people have been conditioned to accept the Marxist’s definition of capitalism. This is how the mainstream views it, because that perspective is the most common and communicated.

all of these shows are just a bunch of so called celebrities standing around in a circle jerk. Not one is worth the time it takes to watch them. Time that you cannot retrive.
