The chaos before us

As a result of the decades long assault on our Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman values by the Education Establishment, News Media, and Entertainment Industry, American culture is changing and not for the better. The results have been tragic: - More than half of ALL births to Millennial women take place out of wedlock. - Less than 25% of high school seniors are proficient in Civics and only 18% are proficient in U.S. History. - Barely half of Millennials believe in “God” and only 27% attend religious services regularly. - 53% of Americans under age 30 have a favorable view of socialism. Chaos in the family leads to chaos in schools and society. It leads to a people seeking security in big government. Is it any wonder why so many of us are deeply concerned that our country and culture are in a death spiral? What our country needs now is not more laws or different laws, or different politicians passing laws.  What we need is a revival of the principles and traditions that our country and even our civilization rest upon. Those foundational principles come from more than two thousand years of Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman experience and traditions. Now we are told that they are all wrong and that the post-modern values of multiculturalism, relativism, and political correctness are what we need. The new virtue is being tolerant of everything and anyone -- except for our own Western Civilization. It seems clichéd to say it, but we truly are at a tipping point in our country’s history. It didn’t happen overnight and it won’t be fixed overnight.  The renewal of our traditional American Culture will only be possible while there are enough people who know and live out the great principles and traditions of our civilization. We have a long march ahead, but we know it is possible! [Please help us today with a gift of $1,000, $2,500 or even $5,000 to help us light the fire of hope for America.
