“Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil.”
Where has this person been the last 20 years?
It has been for quite some time now. Some have observed and warned of this trend decades ago.
For all the influence ring-wing radio has, they never mention our declining morals, i.e. homosexuality. Hate to say that even some people on the right are blind to it if their leaders aren’t saying it.
The decline has been slow but steady. It will speed up now that so many so called Christian churches have abbrogated their moral authority.
How about the fact that everyone wishes to take things, but not enough people are willing to pay?
How about the fact that there’s a trend to claim you are so victimized but seemingly denying that you are fallible, and therefore can also be an awful perpetrator yourself?
How about the fact that taking responsibility for what you did is less and less of a trend nowadays?
Men have not changed one iota since the first man. What has changed is that our virtuous culture has degraded to a godless self serving lying culture. We have had warnings in the form of 9-11 and the financial collapse and other FUBAR but we have not learned to stop the lying and self deception that facilitated those catastrophes.
If you shrink from grim portents don’t do the math here.

Thankss to Libs, America is becoming a cesspool.

Our society has been depraved for quite some time, and it’s only going to get worse. Since our once great country has abandoned God, it’s all been downhill.
This is all deliberate doing by the Marxists, destroy morality,the family and corrupt children.
For all the influence ring-wing radio has, they never mention our declining morals, i.e. homosexuality.
I notice that too. But that’s largely because guys like Rush Limbaugh associate with such figures as Elton John. When you are rich enough, you get members of the PC crowd as part of your payroll. These people are commercial actors, like it or not, and that is what they do.
My two main issues with the larger identity politics agenda are this:
1) Rampant obsession with one’s victimization, which is often imagined or exaggerated. The percentage of your religious crowd who participate in some despicable acts are small, and decent investigation into the perps show that the hateful individuals were often not so great people to know up to the point of the crime. In other words, there is little need to fear. But according to the identity politics’ stance, they make it out to be as if all these hateful people were somehow people who were decent and suddenly gone bad. If you ask me, this is encouraging paranoia.
2) There is some sort of inherent debt owed to you, and again the focus on being the victim. Never mind the fact that all individuals, including the hated ones, are fallible, and don’t forget as well, the fact that people can want revenge, or can turn it around and become the perpetrators as well. After looking back at politically-incorrect accounts of history, there are practically no groups who were solely victims in what they did. In fact, it’s the norm that any given group has played both roles.
Excellent quote.
I was amazed the other day when my grandson’s soon to be bride sat by me with “nothing left to the imagination” clothes on, talking all about her church and love for the Lord. Yes, she has a living mother.

As we know from Glenn Beck's expulsion from TV despite his large audience, media personalities depend on advertisers. The culturally immoral have taken over corporations to such an extent that they can control the media -- even Fox News -- by proxy.
Anti-discrimination laws have created a de facto ban on morally conservative businesses. Therefore there are far less material resources for outspoken conservatives to rely upon, either for their media or for their political campaigns.
I'd go one further, however to state that Americans have gotten use to immorality and excuse their children and grandchildren for all manners of perversions, as "lifestyle" differences.
Even churches, who are supposed to "hate the sin, love the sinner" are embracing immoral behavior, not showing sinners a way out of their lives of depravity.
Many main line protestant churches not only accept open homosexuality but actually celebrate it and proudly sport homosexuals in their ministry.
Catholics and Jews don't fare any better, performing marriages for couples that have lived together for decades, with their children taking part in their ceremonies.
Unorthodox Jews have embraced immorality for many decades.
Lest anyone here think I'm the sinner throwing stones at others, I would merely say that Jesus said he, "came not to condemn the world but that the world, through Him might be saved."
One will also note that Jesus, speaking to the woman at the well, told her to, "go and sin no more;" told another whom cured from being lame and said, "your sins are forgiven."
The Pharisees wanted to kill Him for they said, "only God can forgive."
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, has been replaced by “Do unto others!”
You are so right about rightwing radio hosts.
My hero Rush Limbaugh, one of our greatest living Americans, rarely mentions social issues. He’s brilliant on the free market, death panels, wanting our socialist president to fail, and the greatness of America.
But he hardly ever complains about the breakdown of the family (he himself with several divorces) foul-mouthed television shows, or the evils of abortion and the forcing of the homosexual agenda down our throats.
Instead he invites Elton John to sing at his wedding.
When America got comfortable with abortion it became comfortable with immorality.
