Default A Culture War Of Words

By Michael Reagan
July 13, 2007

If anybody doubts America is engaged in a culture war and losing it they need only to take a look at the series of concerts promoting Al Gore's global warming hoax last weekend. They would have learned that the war is being waged in the sewers.

America is facing an army of foul-mouthed, tattooed guttersnipes who have the gall to proclaim they want to save the planet by putting on performances laced with some of the foulest language ever heard from a stage.

As those who made the mistake of watching any of these concerts here or abroad discovered, the enemies of culture are unable to complete a sentence without using the "F" word at least once, along with liberal sprinklings of the "S" word.

My eyes (and ears) were opened when I stood outside of my daughter's school when she was getting out of her kindergarten class. Some of the filth coming out of the mouths of some of those 5 year olds was shocking. And this was 20 years ago! This culture war has been going on for a LONG time.

I remember calling in to a radio program after taking my kids to see "E-T" years ago. I was upset because they used the term "peter-breath" in the movie. I was pooh-poohed as over-reacting. I didn't want my kids to think it was a cool thing to say. Now that would be mild compared to some of the things we hear on tv and movies these days.

I work on the phone every day, and it is disheartening to hear so many young people who cannot carry on a professional conversation without their vocabulary being laced with profanity. I really miss those old days when people could be polite and respectful, even if they disagreed with you.

In any civilization that desires to survive, simple decency and courtesy are crucial elements. In a society headed for the sewer, anything goes. And when anything goes -- when the most extreme forms of language and behavior come to be seen as normal -- civilization is transformed into barbarism.

I agree with MR's article 100%.

Warning: The link has material which you may find offensive.

Proof positive that Reagan's article is spot on!


I suppose this all is supposed to be funny. And the fun they make of Komrad Katie is funny in parts. Saying that playing Sudoku is more tolerable than Katie doing the news is funny.

But check out the first picture. There is nothing funny about that joke. It is very offensive!

By the way, this was a link on my AOL Welcome Screen.

P.S. Don't read the comments as they are beyond offensive. I only posted this because it so completely supports what Reagan is saying.
