It happened without a Summer of Love, without Timothy Leary, without a groovy anthem or a shaggy new national look. In the past decade or so, there’s been a silent revolution in American culture, one at least as profound as the ’60s upheavals.
We’ve hardly taken notice of it, because it happened in people’s minds instead of in the streets, happened in ordinary people instead of in the elites and the punditocracy.
Compared to just a few years ago, we have a completely different set of ideas about what constitutes acceptable behavior. As Caitlyn Jenner puts it in her new reality show, “I’m the new normal.”

Heck of a silent revolution.
INSANITY and LUNACY is the “new normal” in the open sewer formally known as AMERICA.
I think it’s been shoved in our faces so much and for so long that a lot of Americans just accept it as inevitable. My wife is one of them. She says do what you want but just shut up about it.
Don’t include me in this we.
It isn’t so much acceptance as it is surrender.
It sure does seem that way.
The New York Post does not speak for me or most Christians. I will never accept an abomination.
“Compared to just a few years ago, we have a completely different set of ideas about what constitutes acceptable behavior.”
Well I guess that depends on what is meant by ‘we’.
Still, the schools and universities and media have done a remarkable job of perverting (or at least giving the impression of perverting) our 20 somethings. To get people to do the unnatural, to celebrate the depravity, to embrace evil and reject good is something I don’t think anyone dreamed would be possible.
This proves that freedom is only fit for the moral and the just.
Well said.
However, I disagree with the author’s “silent” part. Social media and the Internet have hardly been silent the past decade.
I just looked it up. 6,700 people die each day in the US. More than 2 million each year. Older attitudes die with them. The US has changed cultures because the younger people were indoctrinated though school to have certain attitudes. It would take restoring or replacing the education/indoctrination system and until all the younger generation die off to restore things to what they once were.
It’s now:
“Lie back, and think of Greece. . . “
(evil grin)
Think of Greece, or Grease?
This is what we get for sitting around whining while the Left took control of media, education, and pop culture. The demographic that elected Reagan is gone.
God’s moral truth’s and absolutes do not bend with cultural persuasions popular or not. Those who ignore or rebel against His authority will have a rude awakening.
To have no fear of God is to live in a dangerous state of existence.
Ranks right along with “Global Warming” as one of the
greatest propaganda hoaxs of all time.
exactly
The new normal piece of sh!t. All by design, the destruction of the real normal culture. That freaktard is not normal at all.
Cultural rot.
