There was a chain of events that led up to this point but that is a different discourse. While I am no fan of Pat Robertson, he recently made a statement that, in the context of history, is absolutely correct.

Pat Robertson on gay marriage

In history there's never been a civilization ever in history that has embraced homosexuality and turned away from traditional fidelity, traditional marriage, traditional child-rearing, and has survived. There isn't one single civilization that has survived that openly embraced homosexuality. So you say, "what's going to happen to America?" Well if history is any guide, the same thing's going to happen to us.

Back in 1969, an Italian immigrant friend of mine, educated in classical history, assessed the American landscape and made an astounding pronoucement. He first noted the rise in the feminist movement. Citing historical records, he pointed to the Ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece, stating that in both instances, once women rose to power, they were soon followed by a rise in the homosexual movement after which they collapsed. He then said that, if this pattern were left unchecked, I would witness the collapse of the US in my lifetime. This was 1969! At the time, I laughed; I stopped laughing years ago as I have watched his pronouncement unfold.

I agree with you 100%.....

But unfortunately our knowledge of history is not apparently enough to change our destiny as a civilization.

I respect those who refuse to accept this, and as we both know, this political fight is far from over but we are losing the battle. I nearly threw my son out on his butt last week because of this and other things that he has been conditioned to accept as fairness...

I told him....(age 25) that I had failed as a father to prevent the lefties from indoctrinating him. To be fair, I failed with all of them.

With all this nonsense about the fiscal cliff some weeks ago, I commented to my wife that the American society had already fallen over the real cliff. The falling does not hurt and is not seen or felt because we have not hit the bottom yet.

After the fires go out, I don't know what the future will be like....not anymore...all I can do is prepare for the fires. The ones that will be lit when the stuff hits the fan.
