CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 20, 2022
HERE IS A POLL THAT SHOULD GET EVERYONE’S ATTENTION. GALLUP HAS FOUND A RECORD HIGH FIFTY PERCENT OF AMERICANS RATE THE OVERALL STATE OF MORAL VALUES IN AMERICA AS “POOR,” WITH JUST ANOTHER 37 PERCENT SAYING THEY ARE ONLY “FAIR.”
WHILE NEARLY THREE-QUARTERS OF REPUBLICANS SHARE THAT NEGATIVE VIEW, 36 PERCENT OF DEMOCRATS FEEL THE SAME.
WHY IS THIS A SURPRISE? MORAL VALUES SUCH AS RIGHT AND WRONG ARE NO LONGER TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS, OR REFLECTED IN CULTURE. THINGS SCRIPTURE CALLS ABOMINATIONS ARE IMPOSEED BY CULTURE AND COURTS. ABORTIONS HAVE PASSED 60 MILLION AND WILL CONTINUE AT SOME LEVEL EVEN IF THE SUPREME COURT OVERTURNS ROE.
PEOPLE DON’T CATCH MORAL VALUES LIKE ONE CATCHES A COLD. THEY MUST BE TAUGHT. WHY DO PARENTS TEACH TABLE MANNERS AND OTHER FORMS OF BEHAVIOR? IT’S BECAUSE THESE THINGS ARE NOT NATURALLY ACQUIRED. WHEN THEY ARE NOT IMPOSED, THE OPPOSITE OCCURS. THAT’S BECAUSE WE ARE SINNERS AND LEFT TO OUR OWN DEVICES WE DO SINFUL THINGS.
WHO WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? POLITICIANS DON’T HAVE THE POWER AND WE SEEM COMFORTABLE IN OUR IMMORALITY, DON’T WE? I’M CAL THOMAS.
