How a massive, silent cultural revolution has changed America
http://nypost.com/2015/06/06/how-a-massive-silent-cultural-revolution-has-changed-america/
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.â€
America has grown too tolerant and liberal.
Americans are simply, broadly, more tolerant of others who are unlike them. As a general trend, that’s heartening. On the other hand, what comes along with this mass departure of moral judgment from public life?
Let’s say we grant that it’s morally acceptable to smoke weed. Is it morally acceptable, then, to spark up a joint every day at lunch? Sure, as long as you’re not endangering others. It’s still not terribly wise, though.
If your unemployed roommate drifts through life perpetually stoned, you may resist telling him what he’s doing is morally wrong, but it is, in some sense, not OK. Does being a good and tolerant citizen mean you should shrug when a person chooses to spend his life wasted?
Increasingly, we don’t want to judge others for anything, even if what they’re doing is destructive. But is being non-judgmental the same as granting tacit approval, even support?
Consider the amazing turnaround in people’s views of single parenthood. As of 2002, only 45% of Americans thought it was “morally acceptable†to have a child outside of wedlock. Today it’s 61%.
It is no wonder why people are less likely to confront evil. This is why Islamists hate America. They do not care about our foreign policy. We are seen as a decadent society.

I'm not so sure that I agree that the cultural revolution has taken place in people's minds, rather than "we the people" have been liberalized by the media, liberal educational system and shamed into being politically correct. Not only do the Islamist hates us, they see us as an immoral society (gay marriages, abortions, etc.), but consider that they realize that the majority of Americans voted to allow this decay in our country AND it has largely happened under Obama. Not only did America vote for this immorality once, but twice! When you have a president who is more focused on setting aside a day for LGTB's than securing our borders or creating sustainable jobs; obviously there our those in other countries closely watching. They also realize that liberalism doesn't work, hasn't worked and won't work and are taking full advantage.

I'm not taking any criticism from any holier than thou muzzies.
Their sexual depravity is as bad or worse than anything that happens in the US.
Almost every instance of so called "decadence" they accuse us of they do equally or better.
I once talked to a pilot who flew corporate extensively in the middle east and throughout the arab world.
They would have frequent trips to countries where there was a potential death penalty for drinking alcohol.
The pilot asked one of his passengers(a muzzie), wasn't he concerned about how harshly he would be treated if he was caught drinking alcohol.
He said, "I do not worry".
"Because I do not drink alcohol".
"I sip it".
They are almost blithely unaware of their profound hypocrisy.

Bruce, old man, you are not the new normal. You're not even a freak of nature.
You're a seriously delusional man with enough money to indulge your delusion.

Exactly. "It's" money would have been better spent on a couch with a good psycho therapist and psychiatrist.

Even psychiatrists who in many respects are worse than lawyers in regards to taking advantage of people are admitting you can't cure sexual deviancy problems with surgery.

You heard it here first: BJ will die by its own hand inside of 5 years. It will find this sex change did not "fix" it and made things much, much worse.
Now it can't have a relationship that is not gay (due to being a man) nor lesbian (due to being a woman). Other trannies will stilll be sexed one way or the other.
It has created a cage from which it cannot escape.

"It's" death will be blamed on conservatives for not accepting the "new normal".
