| July 30, 2010 Dear Mr.
Hillyer,
Your article yesterday was right
on target. Unfortunately I am
not as optimistic as you for the
future of our country. As I said
in an email to Rush when he read
your article yesterday, "America
died with Terry Schiavo 5 years
ago." As that innocent girl
withered away when we dehydrated
and starved her to death, our
culture went with her. That day
I was in tears when I asked
myself how civilized, educated
judges and people in Congress
could kill an innocent human
being --force a horrible death
on a helpless girl that most
state laws would not allow us to
do to animals!! And during the
days leading up to her death,
when there was no outrage from
millions of other Americans, I
knew we were finished as a moral
and just nation. The day we
killed Terry Schiavo was the day
America died. That day I knew I
wished to have no grandchildren.
That was the day I decided to
tell my son and my daughter I
would be not be happy to see my
progeny grow up in an already
depraved culture that would only
get worse. So as far as I'm
concerned, the garbage that the
"Obamanation" and the rest of
the politicians are forcing on
our country is a class picnic
compared to what we did to Terry
Schiavo! I believe we have
gotten to the point where the
“bad people” in our society now
out number, or at least, are
equal to the “good people.” If
you don't believe me, walk into
any public high school
classroom. As a substitute
teacher for the past 18 years in
ten different school districts,
I see America's future. In
public schools, where respect
for education is near zero, I
see more female cleavage than
the local biker bar on a
Saturday night, and more male
underwear than the locker room
at Browns' stadium. I walk into
classrooms and have two
thoughts:
1. "I hope the state of Ohio is
planning to build more jails"
and
2. "Parents are now raising
their daughters to be whores and
their sons to be pimps".
Tell me Mr. Hillyer, where do we
go when the bad people out
number the good? In the Old
Testament the Israelites were
taken to the Promised Land.
After the death of Christ, the
Christians escaped to Europe and
the middle east. After the
Reformation, Pilgrims,
Calvinists, Jews, and other
devote religions escaped to
North America. Now, Mr. Hillyer,
where do righteous folks like
you and me go from here? Tell me
Mr. Hillyer, how can we ever go
back to a society where public
schools allow prayer and Bible
reading instead of passing out
sex and condoms?
So Mr. Hillyer, you can worry
all you want about "Political
Dejection" and the crassness of
politicians and the media, but
for me, when I see the trash
available to our youth on
network and cable TV at night,
or see the porn business growing
leaps and bounds when churches
are being shuttered in city
after city, I can't help but
feel that America and morality
did truly die with Terry Schiavo.
Respectfully yours,
