New WSJ Poll Shows Big Decline in Traditional Values
I commend this article to your attention…”America Pulls Back From The Values That Once Defined It”…if the numbers are even close (and I think they are) …we live in a much different world with a much different future than I ever anticipated…“The survey, conducted with NORC at the University of Chicago, a nonpartisan research organization, also finds the country sharply divided by political party over social trends such as the push for racial diversity in businesses and the use of gender-neutral pronouns.
Some 38% of respondents said patriotism was very important to them, and 39% said religion was very important. That was down sharply from when the Journal first asked the question in 1998, when 70% deemed patriotism to be very important, and 62% said so of religion.
The share of Americans who say that having children, involvement in their community and hard work are very important values has also fallen. Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.”
“Tolerance for others, deemed very important by 80% of Americans as recently as four years ago, has fallen to 58% since then.”
I think multiple sides likely own that one, sadly.
TNV,
We’re all tired of each other…not a good space for a society…
Lord, have mercy.
The restraint on unspeakable evil grows weaker by the moment. Night is coming. Tolerance ultimately gives way to its real nature which is complete nihilism. The undergirding ideologies that ruled Europe and Asia in the 20th century have crossed the seas. No invading armies could do it. Just the long walk… The spirit that possesses these shooters is being writ large on our souls. We are becoming corporately insane.
SAD! God have mercy on us!
