Today’s post is brought to you compliments of Gerard (American Digest). It is a mighty righteous rant, which sounds even more righteous since the dude (Paul Joseph Watson) has a British accent. I just thought it would be a good way to start your week.

"People are sick to the back teeth of being told what to think."

So enjoy - conservatism is the new counter culture. And since most of us here are old enough to have been a members in good standing of the last counter culture movement I’m going to assume you’re all experienced enough to make this thing work. 

Butt let’s be careful out there…

If it wasn’t for bad luck, we wouldn’t have no luck at all.

I have often wondered how it was, that our culture shifted so much starting with the changes of the ‘60s.

You wonder how the children of the greatest generation led a social revolution which upended so many social norms.

And you wonder if society and our culture are really better off today, for having rebelled against sexual morality and many other social norms, so as to render the very concept of social norms to be something to be resisted.

Our society and culture are NOT better off today. Thanks to the rebellion against sexual morality we have
MORE "daddy-less" children;
MORE children on welfare from mommy dearest who can't keep her legs closed;
MORE "S.T.D."s than ever, with the added attraction of the past AIDS epidemic;
a continuation of immorality because "we can";
empty churches and the full clinics;
EASY-peasy, no-fault divorce because, just because;
MORE shacking up because we can;
fresh knees, never having knelt and prayed and sore back sides from...

The Panzer Pope, Pope Benedict, nailed it when he called "relative morality" the worst problem of our century.
