Why do millions of Americans today
accept ideas and behaviors that would have horrified all previous generations?
Why have thousands of years of Judeo-Christian moral standards suddenly been
abandoned? What's behind today's divorce epidemic? Why is public prayer being
criminalized? Why are 3,000 innocent unborn children aborted daily? What are
the publicizing strategies that have turned America upside down?
Within the space of our generation, much of what Americans once almost collectively abhorred has been bundled, aromatized, gift-wrapped, and peddled to us as though it had great value. By adeptly playing on our deeply felt national values of equality, big-heartedness, and forbearance, these peddlers have induced us to embrace as enlightened and noble that which every other generation has regarded as grossly self-destructive—in a word, malevolent.
