Liberalism: Tearing Down Our Nations Morals

Over the past fifty years, there have been drastic changes in the culture that we live in. While in previous decades it was not appropriate for a couple to be seen sharing the same bed on television, organizations like the ACLU have openly defended the right to owning child pornography. This is but one example of how our nation has gone from one extreme to another. What can be the source of mental pollution on Americans today? It is the rise of liberal thinking in politics and the media which has helped to produce the moral decline of the American people.
A serious problem with the liberals that are changing the way our nation thinks is that their priorities are out of order.  One very obvious issue is that of gay marriage. The rise of homosexuality in the US has become so apparent. The question of whether or not gays should be allowed to marry has been an ongoing issue for several years now. As homosexuals have become open about their “gayness”, the gay lifestyle has become widely accepted among the populous. Liberals are now trying to force our nation to accept homosexuality as “normal”, which is not a good sign for the future. If we change our culture and laws just appeal to homosexuals, then what will happen when a group of people want to legalize incest? What about polygamy? Bestiality? I know, it might not sound fair to compare a gay couple with a man and his pig, but, honestly, we need to look int the future and see where all this is going. Of course, we need to accept gay people for who they are, but accepting a person is not the same as saying that what they do is absolutely fine.
The bottom line is that we need to keep our focus on what is important, which is preserving what is decent in America. The liberals need to be contained before they tear down our nation’s morals completely. If our nation has no morals, then how can we possibly progress as a country? It is a serious issue, and must be addressed now.
