Random Thoughts for September, 2014
Robert A. Hall
I believe that almost all of the pathologies that are
destroying western civilization, and with it our peoples' hope for the future for
freedom and progress, can be laid at the foot of the 1960s. The collapse of
marriage, a birthrate that that has fallen below replacement levels, but with a
drastic rise in non-marital births with the accompanying poverty and other
ills, the widespread drug abuse that destroys families and kills the
self-indulgent people "doing their own thing," the decline in civic
participation, the decline in church attendance and the belief in God, the
extended adolescence many people never grow out of, the cynical view of
patriotism that makes it hard for the West to stand against wild-eyed fanatics,
and the general moral relativism all flowered in the 1960s--a criminal decade
that has assassinated our culture. And progressive intellectuals were its
accomplices. Their grandkids will live like savages--and loath them.
You can support Israel or you can support Democrats
and Hamas.
