LOL, no I am not, I am just showing the whole picture instead of just a handpicked "rosy" one. Facts are facts;enslaving Africans, putting Native Americans on reservations and slaughtering them, interning innocent Japanese Americans, creating the Black Codes and thus Jim Crow, anti-miscegenation laws, poll taxes, etc. was HARDLY a "moral" time in Our country.Legitimizing poor behavior is never good...it excuses poor and detrimental behavior.Some of those are the result of more freedom but I would rather have more freedom than less freedom. What's wrong with the "legitimization of homosexuality"? How does that "legitimization" hurt you ? What percent of our society are homosexuals and how does that hurts us? Homosexuality is not a new phenomenon.It gets worse every year. Teen pregnancies, unwed mothers, drug addicts, legitimization of homosexuality, crime...the list goes on. Look back some years, the moral fabric of this nation was tight until the hippies took over.When has this country been more "moral" than we are today? Who's morals are you referring to?The moral fabric of the nation has been destroyed...thus America is being destroyed.How?
The so-called "moral fabric" of our society was NOT tight before the "hippies took over" , they had laws delegating people as second class citizens based solely on the color of their skin. That's hardly "moral" and the people who were inflicting those injustices were Christians who went to Church every Sunday and preached the "Gospel of Love" while they inflicted their oppression and brutality on "those people".
Sure it was. You are trying to blur the issue by using race relations as the sole definition of 'moral fabric'. It is another discussion in itself. The fact of the matter is that America's moral compass no longer points North. Much of that reason being the assault on Christianit.
