“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.
In this installment of Strictly Right Andrew and Ari discuss Obama’s nomination of liberal Elana Kagan to the Supreme Court, John McCains most shameful pander to date, our deteriorating moral standards and the latest It Must Be A Liberal.

In case you have a job, family or modicum of self-respect, you may not be aware that yesterday, April 20th, was ’4/20′ – a day celebrated by the unemployed, university students and other core Democratic constituencies, wherein marijuana is smoked en-masse. Around the world, April 20th has become a day that celebrates lawlessness, immaturity and downright stupidity. The numbers are staggering; in Boulder alone 12,000 – 15,000 people gathered to smoke drugs in public. Pictures from the Daily Mail show what we have come to:
These people are actually out in public advertising that they are drug users. The next picture is of a child participating in the ‘festivities’
How old could that child possibly be? Where are his parent(s)? Today the traditional Judeo-Christian values that have made Western civilization the greatest civilization in human history are under assault every day from the relentless left. They want to chase all religion out of the public square, and replace it with their sick moral relativism that is founded upon the notion that “if it feels good, do it.”
Many of today’s problems stem form a leftwing socialist welfare state that destroys the family. The left seeks to replace the traditional wage earner with the government. Through the policies of Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson and now Barack Obama, the left has been waging a full scale war to dismantle traditional families. With families destroyed, the left has a free hand to peddle their poison. Whereas children used to learn morality at home and from religious institutions, without strong families, the government is left to be the arbiters of morality.
The primary agency through which leftwing cultural poison is dispensed is college and university campuses. While some parents may think their children are learning important lessons at school, in fact, they are being taught to shun religion, ignore their parents, hate the private sector and trust benevolent big government and spread the deadly vision of moral relativism. It is no coincidence that many of the ’4/20′ revelers were university students.
The left has been succeeding in its war against the family. As I have written about before, illegitimate birth rates are up. Single motherhood is praised as though it is some ideal worth striving for, not a sad and difficult reality to be avoided. Religious teachings, prayer and the like are banned at schools. When society condones bad behavior and denigrates traditions that have been proven to be effective over time we ought to not be surprised when the dregs of society gather to blow smoke in our faces.
