I confess that they may be right.  I am concerned that I am preaching to the choir and beating the drum that no one is listening to.  I keep following the directive, “See Something, Say Something,” and the biblical command to the Watchmen to Sound the Alarm!  If that falls on deaf ears, I can do nothing about that.  However, I dare not sit silent as I watch the systematic destruction of our republic and the infringements on our Rights and Liberties!

I saw a report from some modern researchers that insisted that we are not really in moral decline nor detached from reality on many fronts.  They have insisted that it is merely an illusion exhibited by vice-lamenting doomsayers across time.  In my view, that blatantly ignores the signs that are not easily missed.  They dismiss the importance of absolute truth, the Bible, strong families, and the need for morality to prevail.  It is simply a comparison to some past age and, therefore, only illusionary. 

I am afraid I have to disagree!  Some have defined morality as a reference to how people treat each other.  That is inadequate and incomplete at best and diabolical at worst.  Morality affects and influences how we treat each other, but that does not define morality. 

An article from WaPo cited a respondent’s view as sufficient to denounce the claim of declining morality. The idea presented was that the rise in single-parent households, increasing divorce and abortion, the hook-up culture, declining faith, growing self-centeredness and the focus on personal gratification, and the growing number of out-of-wedlock births are not morally related.  Wow!  One even said, “You are not immoral for not being married; marriage is simply a religious crutch.”  That sounds like the old, “If it feels good, do it.”  And relegating Faith to being the opiate of the masses.

I read an astute analogy and share it in brief.  “If God and His law does not exist and man’s preference is all there is, then everything is merely human opinion, desires, tastes.  In that case, discussing “moral decline” is ridiculous because morality can neither wane nor wax if it does not exist.”  

I have said, “Just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.”  One of the arguments that moral decline is an illusion includes the idea that people are inundated with negative news about the present, which is fresh in their minds, while memories of the past fade, making idealization of it easy. 

We complain about our aches and pains as we grow older and the growing decrepitude we experience, but does that mean there cannot be anything to it since humans have done this for millenniums?  That would be ridiculous; of course, we grow old, more decrepit with time, and have aches and pains.  Likewise, the moral decline is real, and our drift from God and moral interactions is a problem. 

In today’s America and the world, we are forced to choose.  That is not anything new, but the choices we are forced to make are.  Today, the corporate world is being forced to GO WOKE and alienate their conservative customers or risk the ire of their liberal activist benefactors.  The choice can be economically devastating, but some are so invested in the WOKE ideology that they would rather GO BROKE than not GO WOKE! 

Until recently, the marketing ploys of many corporations and organizations were to virtue signal and enjoy the favorable smiles of their elite cronies.  They only did superficial things to appease their ideological agendas.  Today, the WOKE ideological activists demand that you must go ALL IN. 

If the new Gallup Poll is accurate, Americans are more conservative than they have been in decades.  The number of people identifying as conservative jumped eight points in the past two years.  Imagine that!  Thirty-eight percent now say they are socially conservative or very conservative, with only twenty-nine percent identifying as liberal.  With that data, one would think the corporations and organizations would realize that Going WOKE is the wrong path, but they are pushing their chips to the center of the table.

Michelle Obama let slip the plan in a 2008 presidential campaign speech Barack. “Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we’re going to have to change our traditions, our history; we’re going to have to move into a different place as a nation.”

Every segment of society is being affected, not just politics.  Even in baseball, we watched the Los Angeles Dodgers take a giant leap into WOKENESS.  They had Pride Night, and most fans would have tolerated it, but when they pushed the chips to the center and went all in by allowing and endorsing the anti-Catholic freak show, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, to take center stage.  That has been and will be a costly error, and rightly so.

Before his separation from Fox News, Tucker Carlson had stepped up his criticism of the transgender movement.  He called attention to the Nashville Christian school murderess, Audrey Hale, who identified as a man stating that trangenderists hate Christians more than other groups because Christians refuse to join the demand that transgenderist are gods with the power to change nature itself.

God made two genders, male and female, not multiple variations.  God created marriage between a man and a woman, not same-sex couples.  I stand with God, and the incessant push to dehumanize that baby in the womb, make sexual preference God’s fault, and the promoting of abandonment of morals must be rejected and resisted.  With God’s help, we became a nation and arguably the greatest nation on the planet.  Without God’s help, we would not exist, and as Washington declared, we cannot expect the propitious smiles of heaven if we abandon God’s principles.

When I hear a member of the Left, Democratic Delegate to the House of Representatives from the US Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett, make a Freudian slip, I cringe.  She said, “Having Trump not only having the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everything who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans.  He needs to be (shot) – Stopped.”  What she said was a message that will resonate with the ideologically deranged and could lead to someone attempting to commit that heinous crime.  The Left knows no bounds!

Therefore, I contend that we are in a dangerous state of moral decline, and it is time for all Americans and those of the world who believe in God and prayer to join forces and intercede.  We must embrace the directive of 2 Chronicles 7:14 and pray like there is not tomorrow.  We can save America temporarily, but not without God and unifying around the cause for Faith, Family, and Freedom.

God bless you, and God bless America!
