This subject makes me so angry, I can’t see straight. I tried for YEARS to help instill values in public school children and can count on the fingers of ONE hand the number of adults who tried to give me support. I simply don’t want to hear it anymore from ANYONE. Administrators constantly accused me of putting “politics” in the classroom. People are getting exactly what they deserve for failure to stand up and defend those trying to do what is right.
As an aside, I am coming to learn that it is not just on the issues you mention where people are reluctant to do anything, but on a much, much larger scale that people are reluctant to do anything.
I see in this country many middle-class people who have just checked out. They simply want to go to work, raise their kids, and be left alone. No longer do people want, nor are they willing, to really take up any cause. Sadly, I believe people have been infused with a hopelessness, a sense of futility that it doesn't matter what they do nothing really changes.
Moreover, I really do think that Obama and Democrats share a blame here because since Clinton it seems that it no longer matters what scandal occurs people back people like Clinton, and even re-elect him. Same with Obama. Economy in the tank, trillions in debt, scandals, ineptness, and what? The country reelects him. And now Obama and Democrats openly flout the rule of law, such as how Obamacare was passed, and they see no consequences.
People have opposed homosexual “marriage” even on ballot measures, and what? Judges simply wipe out whatever the voters have said.
So, yeah, there is clearly a sense of futility among people, but the good news is that things that are impossible with men are possible with God, so take heart.
