America's Moral Katrina
Agape Press ^ | October 17, 2006 | Don Wildmon

Posted on 10/18/2006 4:39:31 AM PDT by bennyjakobowski

(AgapePress) - Child pornography arrests have been in the news now nearly every day for the past couple of months. Having been in the battle against pornography for the past 30 years, I cannot remember when there have been so many arrests of individuals charged with either possession of child pornography or molesting children.

In the entertainment industry, pornography continues to gain ground, with almost every medium pushing the envelope, trying to out-do what someone else has already gotten away with. Consider the various avenues through which this generation is being assaulted:

Passing through the channels on TV, the scenes and language are much more explicit than ever before. If the rate of decline continues, it will not be long until we see hard-core pornography on the networks. While I haven't been to any movies in a couple of years, judging by promos on TV they are much more explicit and raunchier than ever. Restraint and reason are passé.

Popular music is also getting much more explicit, with studies showing that the more of this music the kids listen to, the more likely they are to abandon the values of their parents.

A recent report said the amount of alcohol and drugs being used by youth is growing by leaps and bounds, with the age of alcohol and drug use getting younger and younger.

Abortions continue unabated. We have killed over 40,000,000 of our unborn since 1973.

With the exception of Fox News, the bias in the news against conservatives and Christians is becoming bolder and bolder.

Nearly every day we hear of progress being made to legalize homosexual "marriage," with companies such as Ford and Wal-Mart giving their blessings and monetary support to the homosexual agenda.

In California, a new law now requires Christian and other faith-based colleges and childcare centers that accept students with state financial aid (Cal grants and CalWorks vouchers) to sacrifice their biblical values in hiring and admissions and support transsexuality, bisexuality, and homosexuality. Truth doesn't matter anymore. Only what is politically correct.

Meanwhile, most Americans go on with their day-to-day lives raising children, meeting family needs, working, etc. Millions sit in their houses of worship on Sunday morning, and see no connection with the moral decay around them.

The new law in California clearly shows that what is at stake in the culture war is the very survival of Western Civilization -- which came from the mind of Christ. Those whom Bill O'Reilly calls the "progressive secularists" will not be satisfied until all influence of the Christian faith is removed from the public arena. Our religious freedom, which helped make this country the greatest ever known, is being stripped away.

There is a moral Katrina coming, and millions of Americans are ignoring it.

..."progressive secularists" will not be satisfied until all influence of the Christian faith is removed from the public arena.

And most of us stand idly by while viewing the passing parade of perversion without even a comment.

I don't disagree. This is a rant though. Not breaking news.

If "breaking news" was selected it was in error.

Further, these comments are hardly a rant, rather a true representation of what's happening in our beloved nation!

Here is my comment.

Breed.

Have many children, and adopt if you cannot.

DO NOT PUT THEM IN PUBLIC OR EVEN PRIVATE SCHOOL.

Homeschool them.

Make the sacrifices.

We can turn it around in a generation or two.

If you don't want government interference, don't feed at the government trough.

The trouble is, that is becoming increasingly difficult to do. These days, if you are connected in any way, shape, or form to any tax base of any kind, you are becoming subject to government abuse. Even if you are not connected to the tax base, you are still subject to interference from from aggressive groups like the ACLU, who, by the way, will use government money against you. Simply saying "don't feed at the government trough", I'm sorry, but that's no answer.

Wildmon is attempting to use a crime that has victims to justify a sort of enforced cultural collectivism.

This from a guy who onced accused Mighty Mouse of snorting cocaine, tried to force Holiday Inn to stop offering "R" rated movies on pay-per-view, and whose organization's Arkansas openly advocates counties becoming "dry".

He's a zealot and a nut. No, thanks.

If morality has slipped so far in the public square isn't that an inditement of the Church?

Benjamin Franklin:

"When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself, and God does not take care to support it so that its professors are obliged to call for help of the civil power, ‘tis a sign, I apprehend, of its being a bad one."

Have you anything to say regarding those on the other side of what today passes for Polite Society?

Eric, he may be a zealot and a nut from your point of view, but one thing is certain--his stats are right and it is a culture war and "culture" is losing.

Just the facts, whether he says it or someone else does.

"In some ways, Don Wildmon is an unlikely national celebrity. He is not a charismatic leader, per se. He does not turn heads when you walk with him into a restaurant. He does not wear Armani suits, and his shirts do not have stitched monograms, let alone duff links. He does not turn up the charm when he talks to the press. Wildmon is thoroughly unpretentious. He would much rather be making life miserable for some television executive (or Michael Eisner, ACLU or People for the American Way rep.) than singing his own praises. He is too busy to toot his own horn. Besides, there is a culture war going on. He seems to be saying, 'Don't you see it? Can you hear it?'"

Don't let them destroy Christmas.

Celebrate loudly and publicly.

Get in their faces.

It is the answer in the situation I cited.

Almost 30 years ago when I put my kids in a Baptist Church school I was told that if I ever accepted any form of gov. aid because my children were in church school they would be removed from that school.

I have my Christmas Card already prepared on this computer and the envelope addressed and ready to mail to the ACLU!

I guess a man who is a man is really a man.

It's going to take men to turn the tide of this clash of cultures.
