BS. If these issues were winners, then ballot questions, constitutional amendments and other items pertaining to them would be winning at the ballot box.

The trend is clear and the reason is clear - younger people are more accepting of these issues. These issues don't win at the ballot box today - but ten or twenty years from now? Conservatives ceded control of the education system and popular culture to liberals several decades ago - and the result is inevitable.

No, it is far more than that. As a nation we have turned our backs on moral absolutes. The Bible, trust in God, is all offensive now.

And so we have successfully pulled our national anchor from a set of immutable truths. What has followed, and what is to come, is wholly predictable. With no absolutes there cannot be any right and wrong, only things collectively agreed upon — until that too becomes challenged. All is relative, whatever is right in one’s own eyes is the law and no one can possibly judge because what's right for them might not be right for someone else, again, having become unmoored from immutable truth all is fair game and nothing is really wrong.

We are on a very bad path. Unless something changes it will not end well.
