THEY SURE DID...

A lot of comparisons have been drawn between ancient Rome and modern America.

Dr. Carle Zimmerman in 1947 wrote a book called Family and Civilization. He studies the decline of several civilizations and empires. He discovered eight patterns of domestic behavior that signaled the decline of a civilization:

1. The breakdown of marriage and rise of divorce.

2. The loss of the traditional meaning of the marriage ceremony.

3. The rise of Feminism.

4. Increased public disrespect for parents and authority in general.

5. Acceleration of juvenile delinquency, promiscuity and rebellion.

6. Refusal of people with traditional marriages to accept their family responsibilities.

7. A growing desire for and acceptance of adultery.

8. Increasing interest in and spread of sexual perversions (homosexuality) and sex-related crimes.

See any parallels in modern America? Maybe we should be listening to Rep. Kern a little more carefully.

Every historian – even modern homosexual revisionists – admit that Rome was riddled with homosexuals. Hadrian, one of the best emperors, traveled the empire with a youthful lover, Antinous. Caligula and Nero were accused of having sex with just about anyone or anything.

My friend is working on some of the descriptions of the anti christ and how it fits with Obama. It is scary how easily you can fit it for him.

I was wondering if this was going on all over the world? Are family values deteriorating worldwide? Does any nation even have conservative values? And—is child sacrifice the final straw.
