Lost: Our Moral Compass

-
Roanoke Times, 6-9-11, Pg 5: Democrat Congressman Weiner now says he lied and did send explicit photos of himself to five or six women.
RT, 6-10-11, pg 4: Democrat Congressman Weiner insists he will not resign and 56% of his constituents say that’s OK with them.

The ongoing distasteful and disgusting saga of NY Democrat Congressman Weiner is indicative of the permissive liberal environment that has overcome America during the past 50 years. The latest is that his NY Congressional District residents are OK with his actions and behaviors and think he should NOT resign. What a sad commentary on his community and our country.

We reap what we sow as did the other societies of history that degraded into moral bankruptcy! People really do not change. Throughout history we have always been subject to the basic distractions of our darker side; what does change is society’s reaction and actions relative to those who flaunt basic values and beliefs and the impact that has on helping individuals and society as a whole to temper and control negative behaviors. Without community standards there is limited motivation for self-control and exercise of personal responsibility.

Over the past 50 years our media, movies, TV, magazines and radio have either reflected and or led the downward spiral so visible today. It is hard to find an environment today in which young people are not exposed to the most base and crude language and images and behaviors. No wonder so many families have chosen to home-school their children.
-
We now have over 50% of our children born out of wedlock (what an obsolete word and concept that has become). The institution of “the family” has sunk into the quicksand of expediency leaving our children without the mentors that comprised “The Greatest Generation”.
-
Yet another current example of the media flaunting the most basic sensitivities is CNN hiring Elliot Spitzer as a significant public figure and talk-show co-host after his public and personal behaviors that should disqualify him from such a media venue. Promoting and flaunting Spitzer on nation prime-time TV condones and accepts and promotes his bad and unacceptable behaviors and helps set the standards for others.
-
All these “advancements” have occurred with the help and encouragement of the liberal and progressive members of our society who continue to tell us how good it is for people to be “liberated” from the constraints of religion and society.
However, History has not been kind to those societies and people that lost their moral compass!
