Can America Survive Our Growing Virtue Deficit?

Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Yesterday we commented on the brutal murder of Christopher Lane, a young college student in Oklahoma, and how his death is being treated by the media compared to the Martin/Zimmerman confrontation, which was shamelessly exploited by the left. The Oklahoma incident will soon be purged from the public's consciousness because there is no narrative that serves the left.

Today we have more evidence of why the left doesn't want to talk about the brutal Oklahoma murder. The evidence is growing that the shooter was a black racist who rejected everything that Dr. Martin Luther King believed in.

President Obama sent the FBI to Florida to find evidence that George Zimmerman was a racist. Finding none, the Justice Department set up a call-in line to solicit anonymous tips. Still, nothing was found.

But in the case of Christopher Lane's killer, all anyone has to do is check out the shooter's social media page. There he posted several tweets such as, "90% of white ppl are nasty. #HATE THEM," and "With my ni--ers when it's time to start taken life's." Hate crime, racism, anyone?

Today we have news of another vicious murder in Spokane, Washington, where two thugs brutally beat to death an 88 year-old World War II veteran.

I repeat: We are living in a country of disintegrating families, fatherless children, a declining Judeo-Christian moral code and aggressive secularism. This "culture war" is being stoked by left-wing politicians who constantly exploit identity politics to attack cultural norms and inflame tensions.

President Obama won't address it because he has regularly played the race card. Too many Republican leaders won't address it because they are afraid of being labeled bigots.

If men and women of goodwill of all races don't step up soon, our budget deficit and growing military weakness won't matter. Our virtue deficit will destroy this great experiment in ordered liberty under God.
