Can you, in good conscience, blame the moral and ethical decay of our society on personal liberty? Do you truly believe that incidents of mob violence would be prevented if our government severely limited personal liberty? Which parts of our free, open society would we need to restrict in order to maintain civility? Freedom of movement, right to assembly, right to bear arms?
More importantly, would certain sectors of our society be best suited by these restrictions?[/b]I wouldn't blame it on personal liberty. I'd blame it on the erosion of established moral and ethical standards which are constantly under attack by leftists whose sole purpose is to undermine the Christian establishment this country was founded on.
Don't take this the wrong way. I am not 100% against this idea, however, they're attacking the wrong things by going after the whole idea. Those Christian fundamentals were not bad things - they taught right and wrong, how you should treat your fellow man, and compassion towards others. But instead of hanging onto those values, and focusing on the religious fanatacism aspect of it, they've instead attacked the entire institution in the interest of creating anarchy. The result is a generation with a distorted sense of right and wrong and the establishment that remains that can still promote morality and being a decent person has been attacked and eroded beyond credibility to this group of people. Their role models are replaced with anarchists, gangsta rappers, and the distorted reality of television and celebrity.
