Who can deny the erosion of America's moral foundation?

What used to be wrong is now right. What used to be right is now wrong:
Widespread pedophilia and sexual predation accepted amongst Hollywood and the social elite.
Buying and selling of human flesh, and sexual slavery.
Millions of lives ended for the sake of convenience, accepted and protected by law.
Anger and gnashing of teeth at virtue, honor and respect.
Hate and murder in the name of religion.
Lust, fornication, greed and hubris without care of consequences.
Widespread corruption at every level of government.
Selfishness and self-centeredness to the extreme.

I could go on and on.

I know these things have always been a part of this world, but in the last half-century moral decay seems to be growing exponentially.

Are we rushing headlong towards destruction? Does it seem like we are moving (being pushed) faster and faster toward a reckoning?
Does it seem there are agents for darkness at work; that there is an unseen battle between good and evil going on around us, just out of reach for our senses to detect?

People want to do something to stop this decline, but they feel powerless to change the trend.

I know many will think this is nonsense.

But I think many of you can relate, and feel the same way. I encourage those who feel as I do to persevere in hope and love, and confront evil wherever we may encounter it in our daily lives, until we drag everything into the light.

Peace.

We're rolling downhill like a snowball headed toward Hell...

Yes. Consider me your brother in arms...





“On The Turning Away"

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
Mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?

Psalm 12:8--"The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted."

The culture leftist wanted so desperately to destroy turned out to be the fabric holding society together. Single parent households are killing us. It's probably the single largest indicator of whether a child will be successful or not. Children from these homes make 1/4 less income than their counterparts, far more likely to go to prison, etc

This Present Darkness
It gets dark earlier until the winter solstice, and just to warn, most people will have to turn their clocks back an hour in a couple of weeks. Don't be alarmed that doesn't mean we must an hour of darkness in one night alone

Read some books. Incest, child sexual abuse, and all manner of exploitation were much more common at earlier times in history—at least in the West.

The advance of the New Left Radicals began in 1960 at Cal Berkeley.

They continue the advance to this day and, until Trump was elected, they were running the country.

Trump is one man. He cannot stop this advance single-handedly.

I suggest buying real nice guns and ammo. Then just be yourself.

Me its a myth passed along by idiot's of history. All of that stuff has been around forever. The internet has allowed ideas and "news" to be discussed more rapidly and passed along using social media, rather than relying on Msm-propaganda.

No. But then again I'm not a sensitive thin skinned pussy who whines like a victim. Toughen up.

Eh, I think we live in the absolute greatest time in history.

Everything you said has been around, and much worse, for ages. It's simply much more accessible with the internet and TV plastering it everywhere.

Could you imagine social media and whatnot being around during other times throughout history??

It was just much easier to hide all that terrible shite back in the day.

It's how the commies take over. Remove the family unit and God from most people's lives and they feel like they have nothing to fight for.
