The moral gap between left and right is widening
American Thinker ^ | 17 Feb, 2023 | M.B. Mathews

The left have always leaned toward the elimination of restrictions on morality and personal behavior, up to and including in some cases pedophilia ("minor-attracted persons"), homosexuality, trans-sexuality, drag queenery, abortion, and pornography. Bestiality may well be next. It will be called "animal affinity" or something equally perverse.

By contrast, the right, generally speaking, has leaned toward moral guardrails, behavior moderation, decorum, and biblical living. These are two very different and separate worldviews.

The question is chicken-egg: do the people who love chaos, perversity, and libertinism gravitate toward the political and cultural left, or does leftism with its almost total lack of self-restraint create libertine individuals? Either way, the left-right moral polarization has created two Americas.

A good example of this split was seen at the Super Bowl halftime show, which was a lewd and disgusting unbridled display of narcissistic sexual exhibitionism broadcast throughout the country, even to the viewers who would much rather have seen a marching band or precision drill team. Many families turned off the halftime show either because they thought it disgusting or because they didn't want their children seeing lewdness saluted and mainlined into the American bloodstream. American decency lost out on Sunday.

I'm for a divorce between left and right, however that manifests, so long as their immoral imperatives don't affect my life, my health, or my tranquility. The problem is that the left is in its ascendency, affecting every level of the culture except maybe in Florida. God bless Ron DeSantis, who seems to be one of very few bright lights who are actively and passionately fighting against the left's moral decay in American culture. Our schools are riddled with woke transsexual advocacy, anti-white racism calling itself "anti-racism," and drag queen story hours glamorized by obese men with beards and sequins and false breasts

Satan is good at that.

Greece (Grease) is an ‘old movie’? At least you didn’t say ‘classic’.

The original play was set in Chicago and was way more risqué than it got by the time it hit Broadway and eventually the movie. They actually toned it down quite a bit but yes what you noticed now was all there back in 1978 when the movie came out. At the time I thought the movie was ok average but it became a phenom and a huge hit.

I caught a bit of Francis Swaggert’s program last week. Heard her say that the battle is no longer between right and left, it is between normal and crazy. I think she is right.

We need to establish an actual target. We need to be able to act in concert against that target. We need to be able to use our numbers to absolutely destroy that target and have the whole world understand we are the reason for the destruction and that we can do it again.

I am, of course, discussing financial destruction in no way in violation of the law.

Of course I am.

Of course.

The author used the word tranquility. This is a word which we should think about more than we do. I don’t really care what other people do but if it impacts my tranquility, then I get annoyed.

Like a giant fly buzzing around the room, it interrupts the tranquility.

Treat the wacko’s like you treat the fly.....let them go about their merry way, but if they get to close, you have to put a stop to them. This means no to BLM riots blocking highways. This means no to confused males with dicks who want to pee with chicks. It means no to the people who want to kill babies. No is a simple yet universally recognizable notion.

It drives libtards insane......which they are of course, but it always good to remind them.

No

Take the leftist men and transgender them and then take them and leftist women and sell them into sexual slavery in thirld world countries. Use the proceeds to pay off the US National debt.

You have a wildly inflated idea of how much anyone would pay for them.
