America's murdered 55+ million children since 1973 and most people don't bat an eye.
That's the definition of morally bankrupt.

It's generational. In the 50s if a HS girl got pregnant she went away to Aunt Flo till she had the baby and it was given up for adoption.
Today HS girls brag about their children.

perhaps you should read some of Russell Kirk's writings. He was a conservative thinker, historian, etc. The most important tenet of conservative thought, according to Kirk, was a belief in an enduring moral order.

only problem is that morals are ever changing. Conservative though centers on a past era's moral stance in order to relive what one thinks of as a better time in history. When in fact it wasn't

It seems that the old generation always thinks the next generation is morally bankrupt....there's an entire thread of old men bemoaning the coarsening of the culture....their parents did the same to them, yet they can't recognize it in themselves.

Writers in every century bemoaned the coarsening of culture. But that does not mean that culture is not becoming more coarse. Who knows. We only know what we lived through and read about.
The biggest change in culture in my lifetime has been about sex. I was taught that after parking the car to run around and open the car door for the lady. And pull the chair out for the lady at the restaurant.
It seems stupid now. Women can open their own door and pull up their own chair. But there is a certain charm that has left the culture.
That's why today there are women who have tattoos, can't find a husband and just settle for Baby Daddies.

There is an actual bank where virtue is the currency. And it was looted. I'm shocked that you don't know this.

Catchy phrase. Easily comprehensible metaphor. Implied need for action. TV soundbite length.
Hell that is what you look for in a political catchphrase these days.

Not even 20 years ago, had a President racked up 6 Trillion in debt to pass on to this country's children to pay off so they could enjoy their life today people would have been coming unglued.
Morally bankrupt?
Yeah, take a look at that debt and you will see the definition of morally bankrupt.
Nothing more immoral than to pass that on for your children's inheritance. Sicko!!!

Most of the country is turning into one large trailer park, morally speaking.

That's the definition of morally bankrupt.
It is. Along with going to wars in the middle of nowhere under false pretenses and killing civilians in other countries.
The Republicans see nothing wrong with just blowing &(@^ up in other countries. The Dems see nothing wrong with blowing (&#$^ up in this country. And vice verse
Reps = Dems all things considered.
