We're fighting a losing battle to keep our children innocent. But I'll keep up the fight til the day I die.

Me too, count me in. If I may have a Michael Savage type moment here, I think one day, this slouching towards Gommorah will be fixed either by the people themselves saying, enough is enough and/or some "Anakin Skywalker" will rise up and we will have a more authoritinarian system to set things right. In the latter, it can be dangerous depending on this "Anakin's" motivations, if he has the general interests of the people and the country at heart with the intentions of letting up once things are fixed, then it would be for the good and I can support that. However, sadly, even with good intentions, things can get corrupted and you could end up with a dictator out for himself. The bad thing is that it is usually the latter, with human nature and all. I think with the assault from the left, the media, the PC movement, the tolerate deviancy stuff and so on, it will be our downfall, one way or another. A mushy society cannot survive for long. Look at Europe, it could turn into Eurabia.

A couple of quotes that support your statements:

"[O]ur ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits."
-- Daniel Webster, American Jurist and Senator

"The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion."
-- Abraham Lincoln

"History fails to record a single precedent in which nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There has been either a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse, or a progressive deterioration leading to ultimate national disaster." -- General Douglas MacArthur

"If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by the ten thousand commandments." --G. K. Chesterton
