It is now a country where every year 1.5 million babies are murdered in their mothers' wombs, thousands of them seconds from delivery and inches from life. Violence, hunger, drug abuse and loneliness are standard fare for our children. Truth is no longer tolerated while lying, cheating, stealing, adultery, fornication and homosexuality, etc., are elevated to virtue. God is mocked and people choose to follow all sorts of deviant beliefs.
Sexuality is debased and the sexual revolution has twisted sexual roles.
The future financial security of our children and elderly are stolen to pay for present indulgences. The recent charade of the nomination hearings of John Ashcroft, when his character and religious beliefs and morals were attached, give ample evidence of the extremism in our country. May God help us. Joe Lieberman's synagogue doesn't allow women to lead in its religious services. Although Adam Smith assured us that people would be constrained to be moral by the dynamics of the marketplace, we all know that such morality is only superficially effective for all too many in the face of a good deal.
