A Catholic school is removing its Catholic statues to be more inclusive. While this sounds like another action in the continued debate over controversial monuments, this is more a trend of religions, especially Catholics, hiding their beliefs, or watering them down enough so as not to be a bother.
It reminds me of a time I toured Georgetown University with my daughter on a fine spring day years ago. She had been accepted for the fall and we were checking out the campus.
Twenty-five years ago, when MTV played mostly videos, defeated presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan delivered his "Culture War" speech before the Republican National Convention on August 17 at the Houston Astrodome, where he feared for the "soul of America." Twenty-five years later, when conservatives have ceded all control of the culture war to the Left, MTV's Video Music Awards (VMAs, itself a bizarre oxymoron for an outlet that plays no videos) is now a forum about politics and the course of the country. Conservatives should watch more MTV. Take heed Buchanan's observations. And fight back.
For decades MTV has contributed to the cultural degeneration of America, and today it is more pronounced and emphatically symptomatic of the culture wars felt by, and waged against, conservatives.
