You are so right! Our culture is saturating our children with images through the media that are de-sensitizing them. We rarely watch network tv. Instead, we choose to watch shows like “love it or list it” or, “Property Brothers”, or “Alaska, the Last Frontier”, or “Mountain Men” or Duck Dynasty on the Roku. No commercials. So many commercials, about the most mundane products, have subtle sexual overtones. And then there’s the incessant viagra and cialis commercials. When we visit relatives, they have on the usual CBS or ABC shows and, invariably, there are sexual situations.
Yes, our Constitution is written for a moral people. Our Founding Fathers were very wise men. It was John Adams who stated: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
And Alexis de Toqueville stated “America will cease to be great, when she ceases to be good.” Sadly, we are there.
Couldn’t agree more.
And you’re right about the commercials. I let my little girl watch reruns of the Walton’s and Little House on the Prairie on the Hallmark channel.....the commercials for stupid, everyday things have gotten downright vulgar. What a sad state.
The John Adams quote was spot on. I was going to quote it in my earlier post but couldn’t remember which of the Founders said it.
