There’s little doubt the US is in collapse. The people, not yet the government. One will lead to the other, and all the telltale signs are there on the other front as band-aids are holding the economy and the government together.
Unfortunately, TATTOS are also beinging increasingly accepted in America.
I’m not a big fan of them. Especially on young ladies.
The only alternative to theism is nihilism. It should come as no surprise then that as Americans turn away from a sincere belief in God they would reject any notion of objective morality.
I understand what’s going on in the background, but...
it’s so obvious to me that I’m screaming inside “why can’t you people see that reality doesn’t change even if you try to redefine right and wrong!!!”
Reality WILL collectively bite everyone in the ass when society abandons traditional morality. There is NO avoiding it, long term...
“And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return! “
Gallop is worried people don’t trust polls. And it’s true. How many citizens are afraid to say how they really feel because of the boot of PC Government.
I never answer polls - and living in Florida we get a lot of ‘em.
The philosophies of hedonism and relativism (for lack of a better term) have taken a vicious hold.
America needs a spiritual awakening.
I think the thing that has increase the most is the propaganda intended to cause conservatives to give up.
Each generation is more accepting of crap because they've been told at school that it's really OK, and your mom and dad are old fuddy-duddys.
Just what the founders knew...when Christianity goes so goes our freedoms. This is why dems fight so hard to destroy Judeo/Christian values. Men either will either control their own actions with a moral standard that allows for a free society or they must be controlled by a strong governing hand. Dems want to be in control of you life thus pushing God out of America every opportunity they get.
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes And clever in their own sight!
Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine And valiant men in mixing strong drink,
Who justify the wicked for a bribe, And take away the rights of the ones who are in the right!
And once more, Allahpundit is assisting this confusion by blowing his Libertarian trumpet. For those of you who do not like wading into the messy social issues, I will point out without foundational social principles, no economic system will ever be safe.
You cannot separate economics from Social mores. You can appear to do so for a short time, but the right to own money or property is a SOCIAL more. If you can't make thievery immoral, then you won't have your money or property long.
The gods of the copybook headings are licking their chops.
Right up there with "We change the minds about pro-sodomy just by talking to normal people about 20minutes" proven FRAUD!! "Science" article.
I learned today that the oldest Gen Xer is 50, some already having retired, while 68% of Fortune 500 CEOs are Xers.
And get this: 28% of the world’s population is Gen Z. That is 2 Billion people. Gen Zs were born AFTER Google.
