We cannot let them get away with it. Granted, I'm a bit of a pessimist when I look around at all the inertia out there. But, when will the tipping point be reached, and people finally say "Enough!!" and act as if they MEAN it? This is a *vital* issue. If this goes unchecked, ALL of our rights (such as still exist) are in jeopardy. Including our rights to rear our children in the Faith and maintain our own unhindered by atheist fifth-columnists in the judiciary and legislature, both state and federal.

I hope everyone on FR forwards this to everyone they know, on their own e-mail distribution lists. If we e-mail tree and phone tree this information to people we know, it won't be long before this mess is dragged into the light, like a Dracula, and run-through with a stake to the heart.

I truly hate to be a pessimist, because hope is a theological virtue and despair is a sin, but I think you're assuming that people are not already compromised in the area of sexual morality, and I'm sorry to say that that assumption is unwarranted. There's a reason why something like 30% of Internet traffic is devoted to the delivery of pornography. And I've just recently read an article that the new video Ipod is being targeted as a delivery vehicle for porn as well. This is happening because there's a market for it.

I've been around FR since the days of the Clinton impeachment, and we commonly asked ourselves during that time, "Where's the outrage?" It never really materialized, except among a few of us who saw the implications of what he and Hitlery were practicing. It certainly comes as no surprise that kids took up his example, and there has been an explosion in their practicing oral sex.

The attitudes of the sexual revolution have won the day, and I don't think the toothpaste can be coaxed back into the tube. But, interestingly enough, this whole idea was tried in the early days of the Russian revolution, advocated by people like Alexandra Kollontai. Even the Commies had to eventually encourage people to practice more sexual continence because of the social chaos which resulted. So we already know this won't work, and of course the Catholic Church has predicted that it wouldn't, because sexual "liberation" denies the ontology of the act itself. To deny a thing's ontology is to live in a delusional state, and that can only be maintained until the consequences become undeniable.

That, by the way, is why the Catholic Church is "the enemy" in the eyes of the cultural elites, and the whole propaganda apparatus is being brought to bear to discredit her, and to demoralize her adherents.

Paul Weyrich used to post on FR in the old days, and when he counselled withdrawing from the fray and "tending one's own garden", I told him to stop whining and get back on the horse. (I didn't know it was him at the time, or I would have been more respectful.) These days, I'm thinking he was right. By all means, let's do what we can to bring the message to the public square, to warn people of the consequences of what they've chosen to embrace, but let's not be discouraged when that message falls on deaf ears. People don't tend to learn from reasoning, from history, or even from their own personal past experiences. They don't seem to learn much at all, in my experience. So I think the most important thing we can do is keep the candle burning next to the tabernacle (yes, I'm invoking Brideshead Revisited here) until the storm passes and they begin to come to their senses.

I'd also recommend reading E. Michael Jones' Libido Dominandi, subtitled "Sexual Liberation and Political Control", for a discussion of how we came to this pass and the forces at work to advance this destructive agenda.
