Interesting given how much propaganda in favor of immorality our young people face every day:
According to a recent poll conducted by the Marist Institute for the Knights of Columbus, young Americans are increasingly doubting the nation’s ethical standards in business as well as the government’s ability to handle the economy.
“A year into the Obama administration, we find that Americans – and younger Americans – are having a crisis of confidence,” said Carl Anderson, CEO of the Knights of Columbus, on Thursday.
The poll found that American adults and Millennials (those between 18 and 29) are worried about their careers in this economy, opposed government regulation and business greed, and even felt that the country is headed in the wrong direction morally.
“People are increasingly pessimistic about the government’s ability to handle the economic crisis and a majority believes that increased government regulation will hurt the economy,” said Anderson…
…On the issue of the moral status of the nation, 67 percent of American adults and 60 percent of Millennials believe the country is headed in the wrong direction…
Here is a generation betrayed – a generation which knows that things are wrong and is disturbed to its core about what is going on. But, as young people, they are probably just waiting for the call. A lot of them probably thought that Obama was “it” – and they are clearly increasingly disappointed in what they got. On the plus side of this disappointment, the mask is now torn off the mushy-headed, liberal/left propaganda which has appealed so strongly to youth – youth which desires to serve and believe, but which lacks experience and judgment to always see through a clever scam. Like Obama.
Now is the time for the Truth to be told – boldly. If we can tell the young that their faith should be in God, family and the America of the Founders, then we can have the fire to rescue ourselves from our current morass. We must, though, be good enough for the young – we must discard any allegiance to the bankers and bureaucrats who brought us here. We must show ourselves more faithful in our vows than we’ve ever been before – youngsters can be fooled, but once they see a hypocrite, there’s no chance of convincing them a second time.
Youth is always at our service – full of fire and self-sacrificial zeal. The question is always about who will lead the youth? We can, if we prove ourselves worthy. The old, false gods of liberalism have failed – if we can bring the truth and act upon our beliefs, we can win this generation, and restore America.
