Today’s Movies: Hollywood Entertainment or Weapons of Mass Destruction?
February 23rd, 2008 | by admin |
It’s time for the Oscars, will anyone be watching? I doubt I will. Why would I join in a celebration of movies that, for the most part, do nothing but harm our culture?
Check out this commentary by former box-office star and Academy member, Pat Boone.
I’ve written about the relationship between our national security and our declining morality in the past. I think the two are inextricably linked. Why do countries around the world hate America? We claim to be a nation of high ideals and morals. We claim the higher moral ground, and yet our culture has gone down the toilet.
America influences the planet like it or not. We pollute the world with filth on the Internet, raunchy television, and trashy, gory, perverted movies. The nation which so many of us are so proud of, the one founded on Judeo-Christian values, has shirked the responsibility that comes with great power. If we are to be a shining city on a hill again we’ve got some work to do. It’s time to get to work, we’ve got a lot of buffing to do and it’s going to require some elbow grease.
