You are right, this is the dumbing down of our nation's moral core and cultural history by the left.

Penske, I'm glad that you agree with Roy. The man is truly your soulmate.

From the Atlantic article:

• He went into an attack on his ideological opponents, his voice rising in anger. "Separation of church and state does not mean separation of God and government!" he said, and was stopped by applause. As Moore continued, his face became stern and then angry, and his voice was a roar. "'Be ye horribly afraid,'" he thundered, quoting from the second chapter of Jeremiah, "'for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.' Our schools, our political institutions, are not holding water today, because we've tried to construct them without God! We've been deceived by a government that tells us we cannot worship God—contradictory to history, contradictory to law, and contradictory to logic. And we bow down. Shall we bow down?" Cries of "No!" cascaded from the rafters.
  
  Then Moore downshifted, his voice growing solemn once more, and he demonstrated another rhetorical flourish common to the Founding Fathers: he shared his poetry.
  
  "We're fighting wars all over this globe, it sometimes seems," he said. "We're fighting one in Iraq today." A beatific smile came over his face.
  
  "And we face another war
  Fought not upon some distant shore,
  Nor against a foe that you can see,
  But one as ruthless as can be.
  It will take your life and your children too,
  And say there's nothing you can do.
  It will make you think that wrong is right,
  Is but a sign to stand and fight.
  And though we face the wrath of Hell,
  Against those gates we shall prevail.
  In homes in schools across our land,
  It's time for Christians to take a stand,
  And when our work on this earth is done,
  And the battle is over and the victory is won,
  When through all the earth His praise will ring,
  And all the heavenly angels sing,
  It will be enough just to see His son,
  And hear him say 'My child, well done.
  'You've kept my faith so strong and true,
  'I knew that I could count on you.'"
  
  As he finished, the crowd rose to its feet and broke into a chorus of "God Bless America."

We'll look for you in Mobile, Penske. Remember to wear your little babyjesus pin.
