Godless Nation

I have heard the United States referenced as “a Godless Nation”, but never took it into consideration. On my way to Easter with my family, I turned on the radio to hear Panic at the Disco’s, “I Write Sins, not Tragedies”. That is when I accepted the fact that our nation has begun to cut God out of the picture. What am I talking about? “Haven’t you people ever heard of, closing the God damn door, no…”, except God is bleeped out and damn is not. No, I’m not advocating we use God’s name in vain, but why not bleep out the entire phrase or substitute gosh darn?You’re probably wondering why I’m making such a big deal over song lyrics, but this is just one example of Hollywood, the media, and the liberal left desensitizing America and encouraging a culture of sin. It started with song lyrics and television and has seeped into our public schools systems. They promote premarital sex, homosexuality, and teach that if you get knocked up, it’s acceptable to run down to your local abortionist for an out-patient procedure. How can we reduce the current decay of our nation? We can begin to make a difference by electing a President who shares this concern and one with similar morals! Barack Obama touts himself as the candidate of change, but we must inquire into the type of change he’s promising. Anyone who pays attention to the news has seen the controversy with Obama’s spiritual advisor. A President, who seeks spiritual advice from a “preacher” who damns America and preaches hate, can not be encouraging positive change. Imagine with me, President Obama and a nation of socialized medicine (long waiting lists for simple operations), kindergartners learning about condoms and that premarital sex is acceptable, women are encouraged to live promiscuous lifestyles because unwanted pregnancies can be “cured” like the common cold, and all while President Obama wines and dines with Kim Jung Il, Hugo Chavez, and Osama bin Laden. We will be a nation denouncing genocide, but promoting the killing of a living, breathing child because it’s inconvenient. I understand not everyone will share the same religious and political views, but as a nation, we are responsible for instilling some social standards. Parents are ultimately responsible for teaching their children right and wrong, but all of that is contradicted and easily erased because we have no standards or limits to what is being “taught” in elementary schools, high schools, and colleges! Many of us sit silent in class and allow our professors to force their political and social ideology upon us. When we stand up for what we believe, we are quickly silenced and threatened with poor grades or expulsion from class. If we continue to sit silent, liberals will successfully erode the United States of its few remaining ethics and morals!
