I Remember When America Was a Strong and Moral Country
The date was September 9, 1956. I was a ten-year-old boy and
was somewhat excited. On that Sunday evening, the young man I had heard so
often on the radio was scheduled to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show for the
first time.
There was one problem. The censors convinced the network
executives that some viewers would consider the way Elvis Presley moved “immoral”
and “indecent.” An agreement between all
parties resulted in Mr. Presley being televised from the waist up. Like
everyone else, I became a fan for life.
How things have changed. In twelve days an old, obese,
convicted felon who cheated on all three of his wives, is accused of sexual
assault by more then 25 women, and paid hush money to an adult film star to
hide his immoral action from voters, will become our nation’s 47th
president: but not mine.
Our country has lost its morality and is no longer a respectable
nation. Think about this honestly: does any
man or woman with just average intelligence believe that a sexual predator, the
leader of America’s Neo-Nazi movement, a convicted felon, a man who committed
treason on January 6, 2021, and a man who violated the Espionage Act on January
20, 2021 should be the President of the United States? I do not, and for me he
will not get my respect and definitely not my trust.
