“Slouching Towards Gomorrah” is the title of a book by one of the most brilliant jurists in history, and a man that should be on the Supreme Court – Robert Bork. In the work, Bork explains the evil that modern liberalism has wrought. A new Gallup poll shows that most Americans recognize the decline of moral standards in the country. While only 15% of respondents said they would rate the “overall state of moral values in this country today” as excellent or good, 45% responded with the option of “poor.” Meanwhile, 76% of Americans believe that the state of moral values in the country is declining (14% say it is improving). Why is such a decline occurring?
Andrew and I discussed this topic on Strictly Right Radio last week. The answer is that the overwhelmingly secular liberal agenda is destroying the bedrock of the United Sates. Alexis de Tocqueville said, “America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.” de Tocqueville credited America’s being good to its Judeo-Christian values. Today, the left, through the removal of God from public life, is destroying the country. The Supreme Court has banned prayer in school, and sanctioned the murder of the unborn. Activists judges are trying to remove “under God” from the pledge of allegiance. Feminists push their radical views of society on ordinary people. Abstinence is mocked, and “sexual experimentation,” whatever that means, is encouraged. Liberalism is a disease. It seeks to undermine all that has made the United Sates great over the last 230 years. Religion and absolute values are a hindrance to the advance of statism because they teach of an authority higher than the sate. As a result, the left has conducted a ceaseless campaign to discredit and undermine religion. It should be no surprise that as the left advances this agenda the country’s morals go t hell.
