All my fears are coming true.

1. Fear of the loss of traditional Christian values “it is unbelievably obvious watching the biased media making fun of traditional moral values, making fun of evangelists as if they are all corrupt.”

The media is biased on any issue for either side, if you really think it’s all one sided and favoring the left then go watch Fox news with a critical eye. I don’t believe anything ANY “news” or social media claims at face value, “news” has become more about entertainment and propaganda and less about factual information.

That said, I wouldn’t use the words “making fun of” but I will admit that “traditional moral values” as you call them have undergone much scrutiny; however, this is not a new phenomenon of the past 50 or so years, ethics undergo change as a civilization become more civilized.

Are we to assume that slavery should be acceptable? Or that stoning people?

This may sound far-fetched but at one time, these were perfectly ethical according to Christian teaching, and for those who still believe its ethical, yes, they are looked down on for the primitive thinkers they are.

2. Fear of women working instead of being housewives “Making fun of Christians who believe it is better for mothers to stay home with the kids(that is our belief & NEVER would we try to make laws keeping any woman in the home as Liberals would have you believe).”

There are many women who consider being a housewife acceptable and preferable to employment. My wife is one of them.

Not all Christians believe that though, and it’s not that people like us are getting made fun of for what we believe, it’s that for some people that lifestyle doesn’t work for them, some people cannot support the whole household with one income. That and some women would rather just work instead of be a housewife; this doesn’t have any bearing on what you or I decide to do in our own home.

Its when your beliefs affect other peoples liberty when it becomes an issue. If you believe a woman’s place is at home and you go out and vote for legislation making sure that happens, you’re affecting another person’s liberty. Again, what you do in your own home, what you teach your kids is up to you but if you try to impose it on others, you’re going to get flak.

3. Fear of there being no prayer in public schools. “A media making fun of those who believe freedom means the freedoms to have school prayer or not, every community deciding for itself.”

Again, I don’t trust what the media says, no matter who is saying it, the media has gotten so corrupt that it is part of the problem.

On the topic of school prayer, there is nothing stopping a child from praying before their meals, or praying during class even, or reading their bible when time permits… the objection of prayer in public schools is against “mandatory” prayer, where time is set aside for prayer and bible study to take place in place of education.

Policies regarding publicly funded programs take into consideration that not all of those public funds come from Christians. If you would rather you kids get taught in a Christian environment there are private Christian schools that offer this opportunity.

4. Fear of removing religious holidays in schools/ fear of separation of church and state Stripping our religious holidays from our schools all under the lies of separation of Church & state(no where in the constitution).

Well, this is news to me, I have a daughter in school and I have yet to see a holiday where she doesn’t talk about some school party and/or day off the students are getting.

What holidays are you referring to?

Separation of church and state in the constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." ~ First Amendment.

The first amendment protects your right to exercise your religion; it also prevents your religion from affecting other people’s liberties. How would you like it if Sharia Law was established in your county under federal mandate regarding the Muslims in your community?

5. Fear of censoring the proclamation of the belief in God We have even seen Liberals in Colleges trying to censor a graduate's speech if he mentions his faith in God.

This is news to me as well. Is there an article on this somewhere?

At any rate, I don’t agree with this and I know many lawmakers, liberals and atheists that would disagree with such a thing happening as well. I think this would amount to a rare occurrence that is likely to get objected by both sides of the fence but then again I don’t know the details involved.

Are you sure it was “censored” and not just ridiculed? While I don’t agree that ridicule for professing a belief in god is acceptable either, there is a big difference between that and censorship.

6. Fear of abortion I have watched while Democrats were once pro life until the electorate started being indoctrinated to be pro choice & then all of sudden Democrats were pro choice.

This goes back to what I said about ethics undergoing scrutiny over time. While I don’t agree that abortions are necessarily ethical, I also don’t believe they should be illegal. In my opinion, we should teach people that it’s unethical and only acceptable in the very rare chance that a girl is raped or would otherwise die. Preventative birth control has proven to be 99% effective if taken correctly, I don’t consider it acceptable to enable negligence by allowing “I didn’t know I would get pregnant” as an excuse to get an abortion.

7. Fear of gay marriage I remember when the vast vast majority of Americans were against Gay marriage until the media indoctrinated the people to believe they were Homophobic if they were against Gay marriage.

I would say that the majority of Americans are still against gay marriage, but the more people accept homosexuality the more they accept the idea that same sex couples shouldn’t be restricted from having a legally binding contract signifying a relationship between two people (marriage license).

No law, no person is going to make a church perform marriage ceremonies for same sex couples… or atheists, or Muslims or anyone for that matter. Unless they open up such a service to the public (i.e. some churches restrict marriage ceremonies to members in good standing with the church, and they are well within their right), your church has the right to refuse its service to anyone where there is no “business transaction” to be made. Business transactions include but are not limited to employment (someone gets paid for work), legally binding contracts (contract that is honored in a court of law), public sale of products and services. Churches must abide by all laws that EVERY business must abide by if they choose to become a business.

Besides, a church ceremony is not what establishes the legality of a marriage. The marriage may not be honored by God in your eyes, but that doesn’t have any bearing on what the state honors if same sex marriage is allowed in your state and a same sex couple applies for a marriage license.

The ceremony is the traditional aspect you want to hold on to, that’s fine, and you can. But marriage isn’t just a ceremony and the legally binding contract part of it is granted by the state, not your church.

”One traditional issue after the next being ridiculed & judged by the Left.”

And the same happens by the right FromWithin, you have to be delusional to believe it doesn’t.

And if it appears as though the more progressive values are beginning to replace your traditional values? Its because that very thing has been happening for literally thousands of years. We no longer feel that it is ethical to sell our daughters for farm animals, cut the arms off of thieves, or stone children for disobeying their parents and that is because of reform. As a society matures it becomes more ethical.

I cannot help but notice that all the examples you gave are regarding civil liberties. You haven’t really gotten to the meat of the problem with America except in offering irrational blanket statements that point the blame at liberals. Civil liberty issues are non-issues that the media likes to focus on to distract us from the real problems.

The revolving door of politics, the corrupt Federal Reserve System, unnecessary defense spending, overall lack of critical thinking skills, a nation divided by insubstantial or illusory disputes/ non-issues

these are the meat and potatoes of what plagues America, women not being housewives anymore is a non-issue.

Personal responsibility & uplifted moral values were what America's Christian heritage was built on. Liberals hate the very mention of morals or any notion that personal responsibility has a huge impact on our status in life.

Nonsense. You’re bias towards the left is clouding your better judgment. You can honestly sit there and say that conservatives are completely responsible and morally pure individuals?

Lack of responsibility and sound moral judgment is a problem, but I cannot help but think you are delusional if you think that it isn’t a shared problem amongst the entire population.

They will have you believe it is the Rich causing the explosion in our welfare roles.

A nation dependent on the government is a nation controlled. Democrat and republican parties differ on civil liberty issues, which the media focuses on in order to lead people to think they are very different entities, but when you look at what they agree on it is surprisingly clear that they both want a government in control of the population.

But that’s the government not rich people, right?... wrong. Business and government are bed fellows. Campaigns are won by money, not by votes. The ones who contribute the most money are big business. Or in some cases big businesses will just assume the role and run themselves… Joseph Kennedy – Columbia Trust Bank, Robert Rubin – Goldman and Sachs, Henry Paulson – Goldman and Sachs, Faryar Shirzad – Goldman and Sachs, Larry Summers – Goldman and Sachs/ JP Morgan, Davis Markowitz – Goldman and Sachs, Mark Patterson – Goldman and Sachs (were seeing a pattern here), Lewis Sachs – Mariner Investment Group, Daniel Zelikow – JP Morgan, George Bush Sr and Jr – Various oil related businesses, Dick Cheney – Halliburton…

the list goes on and on (I can list several more but I doubt it will convince you of anything).

I'm still trying to figure out how a Rich man caused some woman to take drugs or have a one night stand with an idiot man who would never support a child he fathered.

This isn’t what people are claiming when they say the rich are the cause of this country’s problems… this only further illustrates that you really don’t understand what caused this country to be in the state it’s currently in… I suggest you stop focusing on non-issues

Those are the people ending up on welfare & it comes down to moral values, not the Rich..

More broad sweeping generalizations reminiscent of regurgitated media vomit.

Rich people do drugs and have children out of wedlock too. Whether or not people do these things does not depend or result in living on welfare. Like before, you point out a correlation without establishing any rationale to support the claim of causality.

It matters not what I could ever say to you. I could give you a million rational reasons for my statements & you will deny it. I have never debated a Liberal who has ever admitted being wrong about anything.

I’m willing to put that to the test; thus far I have yet to see a rational argument to support your claims.

And no, I’m not a liberal.

Conservatives DO NOT believe n making moral laws forcing their views on life. It is a lie from the Left that Conservatives want to make moral laws.

Conservatives are continuously dictating how other people should live, protesting against what they consider immoral, signing petitions, voting, and electing representatives to enact legislation which dictates how people should live. You say that Conservatives don’t do this but the contrary is quite clear.

You yourself have some pretty strong views on how other people should live their lives and even go as far to claim that people not living the way you want them to are what cause this country’s downfall. You mean to tell me that if you went to vote and saw a state question proposing that abortions be made illegal, you wouldn’t vote yes on it? That is forcing your views on other people FromWithin… that’s exactly what it is.

You could say that you aren’t physically putting hands on someone and literally forcing them to live the way you want, but that is absurd… nobody is claiming that. When people argue about religious conservatives forcing their views on others, they’re referring to the legal policies that get voted into being.
