SHORT COMMUNIOCATION 51.
America’s Liberal Culture
By
Roger Behra
As defined in the Dictionary of American English, “a liberal is one who favors wide possibilities of change and self expression, as in political and religious affairs." This communication will give the reader a good idea of how liberals and their agenda ruined the culture and society of the American people as they moved systematically away from favoring the established order of society and the belief that the established order of society should change only very slowly and for the intelligent and moral progress of the culture and society since 1963.
In America liberals are represented by many organizations. There are the famous ones called Abortion Rights, PETA, Hollywood, etc. Many of the liberal organizations, influence Washington’s law-making, the mainstream media (television and print), and the American people, all of which intern effects life in America. There are Supreme Court judges, senators and congressmen, and local judges, who, after an election, overturn the common sense votes of the voters. The pro-abortion group is also very strong and active as a liberal organization.
Liberal thinking is very defective. Liberals just do not get it right about history, human nature, or what is sensible or not sensible. Their main goal is to change the world we live in, to change everyday life to meet their agenda, and even directly invade our lives. In America since 1963 they have been very successful in doing so. What was once working well-honoring God daily in our lives, keeping the 10 Commandments, high weekly church attendance, basic honesty, personal ethics, common courtesy and politeness, neat well-groomed appearances, and morality-has been changed to the extreme opposite or completely ignored, to conform to their philosophy and agenda.
Liberals think government and the more of it the better in people’s lives is the answer. They are ignorant of the natural inclination of man when he has power. They ignore government made problems and demand more government action to change the government's mistakes. The natural inclination of man is to want as much power as possible. Their search for power is mad, foolish, and counter-productive. In the United States the government runs the I.R.S. (Internal Revenue Service), D.M.V. (Department of Motor Vehicles), the Post Office, and the school systems among other things. And the results are far from desirable to say the least. The tax laws of do and don’t is a complex ordeal. At the D.M.V. one takes a number and hopes he will get the business done the same day. The Post Office moves like a snail, and the costs have risen sharply. (Considerable business has gone to FedEx and U.P.S. as a result). And the school systems in the public sector are a meltdown disaster full of great discipline problems, cultural language diversity, overcrowded classrooms, teacher shortages, teachers leaving at the half-year time, overloaded classroom subjects, and underpaid teacher salaries. It is a big time mess. And they are always throwing good money after bad. The high school dropout rate is very high, and in some places in the United States it is 50%. The waiting list to enter private schools is unimaginably long. There is no government money or control in private schools. And the discipline is very much under control. Discipline problems are quickly handled. The students are kicked out of the system.
A very big and troublesome area is the mainstream media-both electronic (radio and Television) and print. Few people read the print journalism, but most people listen to the radio and listen to and watch television very regularly, so this area is most effective. And effective it is. All the media never misses the opportunity to support liberal, because the media is a haven of liberals. They mention liberal ideas, cover and support those ideas often, without any second thoughts whatsoever. At least 75% of the media leans very far to the far left.
The television media leads the group and is followed by the radio. Only 25% to 30% read the print media. The heavy reliance is on the television media. And that is a real problem, because it enters so many homes and is so diversified in addition. The miscellaneous sitcoms lead the viewers (millions often very young and impressionable) to believe that what goes on in the sitcom is okay and acceptable behavior, that immoral and indecent fashions, vulgar speech, and sexual insinuations is way cool. Television is a monumentally scandalizing source for liberal thinking and behavior. And we must not forget the computer. It is fast rivaling the television medium. The computer is the number one and most frequently used source for pornography (thanks to a legal decision not to block it under the freedom of speech law). Liberals fall back on the freedom of speech law very frequently to further their liberal views and agenda.
Hollywood, that den of iniquity, and the entertainment industry in general are havens of liberalism. A fabulous amount of money from Hollywood and other entertainers go to politicians and other organizations to help foster liberal ideas and liberalism in general. Recently, a political fund-raiser by a very liberal presidential candidate brought in over nine million dollars to help support his ideas later (hopefully). Hollywood people put the liberal philosophy into full effect with their thinking and actions-high divorce rate, co-habitation as a norm, illegitimate children, immorality, immoral fashions vulgar speech, homosexuality, and violence. They live and self-glorify themselves as if it should be routinely accepted. It is scandal of the first magnitude, because millions of people pay attention, attend their movies, watch their TV programs, and copy their liberal and scandalous behavior.
Liberals and their agenda and the spread of liberalism from Washington, television, Hollywood people, movies, entertainers, and the radio all together foster and inundate the American culture so that non-liberals are not capable to very effectively turn things around.
Liberals are clueless to many aspects of human life. They are unable to under-stand how liberal ideas and behavior change and pollute daily life and the culture in general. They are clueless about how their behavior effects their own life, that for the most part it is greatly offensive to God and other non-liberals around them. They are clueless as to how their behavior is going to effect their eternity after they leave this earthly life. They are clueless as what makes sense and what does not.
Liberals, liberal organizations, and the liberal faction in Washington making our laws, as well as judges who overturn sensible decisions and laws have left the American society and culture with great economic problems, a dysfunctional school system, where the schools produce less results with more and more money, where church attendance has declined more than 50%, where the government solves problems by passing more problematic laws, where the mainstream media is in bed with liberalism, and where liberals even want to invade private lives. America is still a great nation inspite of itself (God's fewer blessings), but she has lost a great deal of her greatness. And it will take a great turnaround in philosophy and action to regain any measureable amount of her lost greatness. Liberals would have to do a great deal of self-reflection and self-evaluation in order for an acceptable turnaround to happen. That is highly unlikely.
Meanwhile, and most assuredly, we must remember that the culture is not the problem. Liberals and liberalism are the problem. May God somehow help us. We are badly in need of His great help. Our survival and remaining greatness depend upon it.
