Yep. Thanks for pointing that out. None of this happened by accident. In particular, Alfred Willi Rudolf "Rudi" Dutschke who advocated a "long march through the institutions of power" to create radical change from within government and society by becoming an integral part of the machinery. This was an idea he took up from his interpretation of Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory.

Now we have openly socialist and outright communist anti-American Democrats.

When we kicked God out of the schools (US Supreme Court decisions, 1962-1963) we replaced Him with the evil and violence of Progressivism and cultural rot.

Things have just been downhill since.

Why do you shoot armadillos?

Are they a pest?

Pests? Hell yes. In Fla. One had lived under my buddies trailer for years, dug all around until the trailer sunk up to the front door during a storm.

Good post!

To me, the reason is preachers, parents, and your average individual doesn't believe in or teach the doctrine of Hell or damnation for really serious sins, let alone other "Deadly" Sins.

As nutty and inconceivable as this writer says it would be back then to imagine school shootings, that is EXACTLY how nutty one is perceived if he believes in Hell or teaches it to his flock or his children nowadays.

Fatima was only 100 years ago... a blink of an eye on the Biblical scale.

People need to know the testimony of those saintly kids, who saw Hell, in real time. Lucia, who died just recently, lived too long and left too much credible testimony to be denied.

People need to ponder it and get to biting their fingernails again.

"....Are they a pest?..."

Does a bear sh*t in the woods?

Hale yes they're pests. Tear up our garden and flower beds and leave holes all over the yard. Hard to catch but we trap them then shoot them.

As bad or worse than the squirrels eating our peaches and pecans and ruining the crops. We shoot them too.

I’m 75 and don’t remember God ever having been in the classroom, so the continued lack of same can’t be a major factor in what we see today.

I don’t either. As an Army brat, we rotated through many different school districts. No bible reading or prayers in any of them. The one thing I never saw was working mothers of young children. Children were priority number one of mothers back then.
