Morality and Politics

This morning, Lisa and I were discussing how wicked and evil this world has become. She mentioned a pornographic diaper commercial she saw on television yesterday. Television and the media are really out of control. I personally think everybody should get rid of their television subscriptions, including us. Good Thunder, I’ve recently been watching The Locator with Troy Dunn. But the commercials are so bad, namely Joan Rivers, that I don’t even want to watch The Locator because I don’t want to be exposed to such garbage. Pure evil. I keep thinking things cannot get worse, but they do.

Anyway, I like to read Rush Limbaugh’s website. I usually glance at it every day. Surprisingly, he says some very insightful things once in a while that coincide with Gospel teachings. I wanted to include an excerpt from something he said on his show yesterday.

The following is taken directly from Rush Limbaugh’s website:

"There's a big move on now to just totally eliminate any concern over the social issues whatsoever, because we gotta save the economy. The economy is where your kids' future is, the grandkids' future. And that's exactly right. But all this stuff is interlinked.

Social issues and economic issues are linked by something, and it's called morality. And it's morality that's missing here, and while Obama runs around and claims the country was founded immorally and unjustly, the truth of the matter is that they're doing everything they can to eliminate morality. There are no guardrails. There are no limits. And there will be no judgments. Nobody has the right to say something is wrong. Nobody has the right anymore to say something is right. Nobody has the right to say something shouldn't happen because it's destructive and detrimental. You don't have that right. Who you love, who you want to live with, how you want to live, where you want to get your money from the government for a job, it's nobody else's business.

And so morality is being eliminated, and this country was founded on the basis of it. This country was founded on the premise that if morality is ever eliminated, this country can't exist as it was founded. Now, what is happening here? The Democrats are attempting to establish in the minds of as many Americans as possible that life itself depends on a thriving and growing government in the center of everyone's life." -- Rush Limbaugh, February 27, 2013
