"Nobody seems to bat an eye these days at a gay politician or one who uses drugs and has extramarital affairs."
The worst part of this is that it's a slippery slope.
Things are going to get worse before they get better, unless we struggle back up that slope. The integrity and principles of our leaders reflect our own, and if we don't hold our own principles dearly, we won't follow leaders that do either. This is the current situation, and the enemedia is the penultimate mechanism instituting it. The primary mechanism is the indoctrination we are subjected to from birth, commonly called education.
Thanks!
