Attorney General William Barr in a speech Friday bemoaned the "moral upheaval" of religious values in the United States, saying it has brought "suffering and misery."
Barr made the comments during an address at the University of Notre Dame Law School. He said the deterioration of religion in the country is an "organized destruction" by secularists in an "unremitting assault on religion and traditional values," according to CNN.
"Among the militant secularists are many so-called progressives. But where is the progress?" Barr asked.
This "upheaval" has led to growing illegitimacy rates, drug use and "angry, alienated young males," CNN reported Barr said.
"The campaign to destroy the traditional moral order has coincided and I believe has brought with it immense suffering and misery," Barr said, according to CNN. "And yet the forces of secularism, ignoring these tragic results, press on with even greater militancy."
Barr said the "spiritual void" left from the demolition of religion is not filled by any "secular creed."

Barr can walk and chew gum...at the same time.
No external force could have defeated the mighty Roman Empire. Rome fell because of decadence: internal moral rot and decay.
No external power could defeat the mighty USA. If America falls, it will be because of internal moral rot and decay.
Moral rot and decay have already destroyed significant parts of America. The once ascendant cities of Detroit and Baltimore and crime ridden hellholes. The streets of once beautiful San Francisco are littered with human excrement and contaminated needles. Moral evils unthinkable in America only a few years ago are now accepted by millions of Americans and most of America's intelligentsia, e.g. politicians, so-called "journalists," college professors, such things as government corruption, pornography, sexual perversion, the abuse of such illegal drugs as heroin and cocaine, illegal immigration, voter fraud, and even infanticide. Illegal drugs are available in every American city and town, even in America's grammar schools. So-called "journalists' have no interest in truth; American journalism has degenerated into propaganda, her news outlets into propaganda machines. Truth--truth for its own sake--is held in contempt. America's education systems, once the envy of the world, are indoctrination centers, where truth is scorned and opinions that deviate from accepted groupthink are silenced. Marxism--communism and socialism--are openly advocated by America's university professors. The Sacramento River is an open sewer. Rats overrun Los Angeles, bedbugs New York.
Only the American People themselves can eradicate the moral rot and decay that is destroying the USA. No one can do it for them.
Americans who denounce the moral rot and decay have elected an honest man, Donald Trump, to the Presidency.
Those who have allowed themselves to be polluted by the rot and decay have worked tirelessly to remove him from office or, if they cannot, to render him ineffective.
They have tried to frame him for nonexistent crimes, called for his impeachment, openly called for his assassination, attempted to stage a coup d'état in order to remove him from office, and have launched an endless, ubiquitous, ruthless propaganda blitzkrieg against him since his election. Millions of Americans--apparently--have been confused or persuaded by this.
If Americans are willing to reverse the moral rot and decay that are destroying the USA, America will soar again into a fresh, new ascendancy; President Trump and his supporters will lead America once again into greatness.
Pray that they succeed!
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” —John Adams

It looks as if Barr gave a fantastic speech, from the 55-second clip I've been able to find on the Web. Really cuts to the chase.
Your post embodies a familiar idea--one that only has significance if an AG can choose his targets and act successfully on his own with no coordination necessary with other parts of the Executive Branch. I don't know if Barr can succeed in what we want him to do as a lone cowboy. But I kind of doubt it.
If Trump starts complaining about Barr, we'll know Barr is the blockage. Otherwise, it's Trump's timing we're looking at. And impatient though I am for trials and ropes, I do tend to trust Trump's timing.
Thank you for the terrific post. The superb speech forecast what we experience today. Just remarkable at its prognosis of our cultural rot—and exactly where the blame belongs.
The more things change, the more they remain the same. Same fight with the same evil.
Where is the prosecutions, Barr!? Start charging these pukes!
The old testament God seemed pretty pissed off when he smited Sodom and Gomorrah and when he exterminated earth’s entire population except for Noah’s family. I would say the old testament God was pissed off on a regular basis. Since his only Son died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, God doesn’t seem to get very pissed off anymore.
But who knows?
Very enlightening. Thanks for that. I wondered when the liberal secularism began and this post goes a long way toward answering that question. I had no clue it was so far before 1900. I thought it came sometime between 1898-1913. 1876 is much earlier than I expected. I wonder what caused it.
Amen. True.
Unfortunately, the truth of all this will be lost on those who hold truth in contempt.
Truth is lost on those whose greatest need is truth.

Most definitely. God becomes angry at the behavior of people. And the secular Left is a good example similar to the behavior of Ahab that raised His ire.
China is bringing in the fentanyl. The heroin is based on opium from Afghanistan. Barr is a globalist scum. CIA agent bushie and presided over Ruby ridge killing.
Barr is garbage, all talk. He won’t do squat but go after the peasants and crummy doctors to make the stupid people think that he’s somthing special.
Yes, we are under judgement and the people are being punished by a corrupt and evil federal government. Trump is trying, but he can’t overcome a Lucifer federal government.
