We now have abortion on demand, no fault divorce, gay marriage and rampant sexually transmitted diseases. Unfortunately, it is going to be difficult to reverse these unfortunate trends. <BR/><BR/>If AIDS could not end the sexual revolution, I have my doubts that laws will be able to do much to improve morals. What we need is a personal moral and spiritual revolution that changes hearts and lives. It will take time but I think we can create a society that is more moral and just than we have today.RightDemocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03612704627184425765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-35197424545313686392008-09-12T17:13:00.000-04:002008-09-12T17:13:00.000-04:00P.S.

I do agree with the heart of your viewpoint - the MSM SHOULD be far more Conservative than it currently is to reflect the American people.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-74491128295456406012008-09-12T17:10:00.000-04:002008-09-12T17:10:00.000-04:00"That's why I say conservatives need to be proacti...<I>"That's why I say conservatives need to be proactive and retake the transmitters of culture--entertainment, academia, news--that shape peoples' attitudes."</I> (Seane-Anna)<BR/><<BR/><<BR/>I agree, with reservations Seane-Anna.<BR/><BR/>I wholeheartedly agree that the MSM should be run by more mainstream and more right-of-center people, BUT, I've always discounted media influence and continue to do so.<BR/><BR/>The Left misguidedly seeks to silence the likes of Talk Radio's Conservative talkers and FoxNews because they believe they've "brainwashed gullible people into becoming more Conservative."<BR/><BR/>That is not so.<BR/><BR/>America has ALWAYS been a Right-of-Center country. The reason the likes of Limbaugh, O'Reilly and other Conservatives have been successful is NOT because of their Public Relations skills, "their ability to con their listeners/viewer" or their "slick charisma," it's BECAUSE their message (their CONSERVATIVE message) resonated with the American people.<BR/><BR/>It's not that any Americans were CONVERTED, it's that Conservative Americans sought out and chose to support voices they could identify with.<BR/><BR/>I believe that reckless and irresponsible Conservatives COULD turn off many Americans if they violated the public trust the way the Liberal MSM has done.JMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281344324964417974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-66334935649439427352008-09-11T20:31:00.000-04:002008-09-11T20:31:00.000-04:00Oops!

That's why I say conservatives need to be proactive and retake the transmitters of culture--entertainment, academia, news--that shape peoples' attitudes. So long as we allow the transmitters of culture to be controlled by the left our society will continue to suffer the consequences of the sexual revolution.Seane-Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223095530241687589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1559661241465229945.post-43704534779241310562008-09-10T19:59:00.000-04:002008-09-10T19:59:00.000-04:00"When will the pendulum swing back ??"
