Our Culture Is Dying

Those who love big government and all its regulations and controls of what people can and cannot do are either control freaks or do not like to take care of themselves.  The reasons are so unfair as to be criminal.  The control freaks are self serving, egotistical and think they know best what others need or should do.  Those that do not like to take care of themselves love getting free stuff so they do not have to be responsible for themselves.  This leftist progressive political and secular humanist approach to life, governance and practically everything else has killed cultures in the past and is rapidly killing ours.  Here are a few examples modern day destruction.    

Quote: "There is a big problem in this country. The social safety net has been transformed into a nice, comfy bed. It used to be that people were ashamed to go on the government dole. Now, it’s a way of life for many. No shame to it at all. And for people who really need it, it should be there. But the moment you start taking money from others, your number one goal in life should be to stop. Unfortunately, a great many people in this country don’t see it that way. They see how much easier it is to cash a welfare check than it is to work for a living, and they abandon any sense of pride they might have once had. To hell with it, they say. I’m going to ride this gravy train as far as it goes."  http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/food-stamps-requiring-id-is-the-least-we-can-demand/

Quote: "Consider one current example in the international sphere: U.S. President Barack Obama's recent remarks about leftist-led Greece falling even deeper into economic crisis suggest either a severe lack of self-awareness or a self-deprecating sense of humor. "You cannot keep on squeezing countries that are in the midst of depression," Obama said. "At some point there has to be a growth strategy in order for them to pay off their debts to eliminate some of their deficits."  This from the president who has increased the national debt by 70 percent since he took office. How many yes-men does it take to wrap oneself in that level of delusion? And how many other leaders are equally and increasingly isolated from inconvenient political realities?"  When you have leaders that say do what I say and not what I do you are in trouble.  We are in trouble big time.  http://townhall.com/columnists/rachelmarsden/2015/02/10/draft-n1955619/page/full

Quote: "In fact, we see that is the initial play with the left. A young man last week pointed out that transgenderism is largely a mental health issue and started receiving threats on twitter and general harassment. The Fire Chief in Atlanta referred to homosexuality as a sin and lost his job. Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty quoted scripture and the left tried to drive him from the airwaves. The Benham Brothers are evangelical Christians and had their TV deal cancelled for offending the gay mafia.  Christians will be made to shut up. Those who question political correctness will be made to shut up. Now there is a new troubling story out. A tenured professor at Marquette University lost his tenure and was fired for a blog post in which he took issue with a graduate student who told a class only bigots and homophobes could question gay marriage. The one student who did question it was failed. Again, a tenured professor lost his job for raising questions about the appropriateness of a graduate student’s class instruction on gay marriage."    http://www.redstate.com/2015/02/11/first-they-shut-you-up-then-you-will-be-made-to-care/

When schools can do this there is a real problem at hand.  Quote: "Seminole County’s Lyman High School is being called out for its blatant Islamic indoctrination by a student’s father.  Ron Wagner read, “There is no god, but God, Muhamad is the messenger of God.”  However, he wasn’t reading from the Koran, The Five Pillars of Islam or the Hadiths.  He was reading from his son’s 10^th grade world history textbook.  Even more concerning is that the school district not only stands by the curriculum, but have the full support of designated terror group Hamas-CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations)."  http://eaglerising.com/14993/florida-public-school-continues-islamic-indoctrination-even-parents-protest/  Where is the government's hard core position that there MUST BE separation of church and state in public schools????  Government decisions on any subject are relative, not based on either the rule of law or common sense.  In other words, only progressive secular humanistic relativism rules apply to a society in decline.   

Anyone who thinks progressivism is advancing society, its cultural, religious, scientific, academic, etc. norms needs only look carefully at the consequences that result therefrom to see they are wrong.
