Values Voters--Head to the Polls! By Marsha West

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. 
For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." Luke 6:45

Why is the media still feigning blue-faced outrage over a politician being exposed in all his naked depravity?  You'd think they'd be used to immorality on Capitol Hill by now.  What's noteworthy regarding the latest scandal is that the Left has gone after a homosexual.  Why?  Because Rep. Mark Foley is a Republican.  It's astonishing that big media would have touched this sordid tale with a ten-foot pole. 

Those who are protesting the loudest, pretending that morality matters to them, are liberals.  What's odd about all this is that liberals are far and away the most morally challenged primates on the planet.  Case in point: Liberals made a celebrity out of former New Jersey Gov. James "I am a gay American" McGreevy who resigned in shame after admitting to having a homosexual affair while he was married.  McGreevy, a Democrat, confessed that he resorted to anonymous homosexual encounters at adult bookstores and highway rest stops. Not only that, the former governor was implicated in several fund raising scandals.  Even after all this, the liberals helped promote McGreevy's memoirs. Dare I ask who's purchasing this rubbish?  Not Evangelicals, I assure you. 

To be fair, when disgraced ex-Congressman Foley publishes his memoirs--and dimes to donuts he will--the media will rally round him and help his book climb to #1 on the NY Times best seller list.  Sadly, the more sordid the story, the more the public finds pleasure in it. 

If morality mattered one iota to liberals, the entertainment industry (they run it) wouldn't be in the sorry state it's in.  Movies and television are awash with foul language, graphic sex and gratuitous violence.  Even TV commercials have become all about sex.  Some ads are downright disgusting.  Watch a sports event with your kids some Sunday afternoon and you can count on them being exposed to R-rated commercials!

Speaking of disgusting.  One of the most watched programs on TV is Two and a Half Men starring Charlie Sheen.  "Charlie's character is incredibly promiscuous and it is depicted as funny when he uses women for sex and doesn't maintain meaningful relationships with any of them." The pre-teen boy on the show is dragged into all sorts of sexual situations, and viewers actually find this humorous.  A few seasons ago on the award winning Desperate Housewives a married woman had an affair with a 17-year-old boy, and another woman in the neighborhood keeps an ax murderer in her basement. Viewers are also enjoying a constant stream of raunch from popular shows like Nip/tuck, Rescue Me,  Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds,  Boston Legal, and Supernatural.  America's youngsters are exposed to violent video games as well as G-rated movies that bombard them with violence and potty humor.
