Our Forefathers Condemned as Immoral by the Worst Among Us

As statues again come down as our culture is further torn up, something goes unsaid and often unnoticed:

Notable Western historical figures are being condemned as immoral — by the most immoral, decadent, depraved people among us.

The cultural revolutionaries attacking statues and what they represent, generally speaking:

Moreover, consider the following list of virtues and ask yourself how many these revolutionaries embody as a group: charity, chastity, courage, diligence, kindness, faith, hope, honesty, fortitude, justice, temperance, prudence, patience, forgiveness, humility, and love. Why, could even one of them define “virtue”?

So, I say to these civilization destroyers: Who the heck are you, you two-bit degenerates, to look down your noses morally at Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Christopher Columbus or, for that matter, the Founding Fathers, whom you’re also attacking? You’re not fit to shine their shoes.

As soon as people put up with the NFL doing this, of course this was where it was going to go.

They can start by eliminating the word f**k from their vocabulary. Since they use the word in every possible instance and as every conceivable part of speech this should cause them great distress in communicating with each other.

***They can start by eliminating the word f**k from their vocabulary. ***

Before the Hippie movement of the 1960s those words were only used publicly by low-lifes and white trash. Never used where women were around, even in bars.

The Hippies and 1960s radicals began to bring such vile words into the mainstream.

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
