It’s truly not shocking that a political leader would be a reprobate behind closed doors. From Caligula to the Marquis de Sade to Bill Clinton, the depraved have always been overrepresented among the ruling classes. It is for this reason that what’s even more distressing about the Katie Hill affair than what she did is the reaction to it from the broader society — including “broadminded conservatives” defending her.
Hill, the former Democrat congresswoman whose resignation from office took effect Nov. 1, certainly is our time’s Thoroughly Modern Millie

This is exactly why government wants to take God out of society. Government, especially the Obama administration, wants to define the morals of society. Democrats and liberals have latched onto it and have now come up with labels for Republicans and conservatives who do not want to bend in their ways.
Government or God? I know my choice. . .

I’m a little surprised the Dems didn’t come to her defense. This is, after all, diversity at its best and it’s what they do. If it’s got a pulse and room temperature they’ll probably jump on it.

I think the writer is a bit over dramatic. She just got caught.

FTA: “Right and wrong aren’t determined by what people, even great masses of them, have done and want to justify. Right doesn’t become wrong because wrong becomes a rite.” That’s it in a nutshell. Man wants to determine what is right and wrong and that will be ever evolving depending on what society deems right or wrong. God set it out one time and that settles it. Secular humanism will destroy a culture, society or country. Just look at this country. Any behavior can be justified if there is ever evolving standards. Man does not want to even acknowledge the authority of God much less live under it.

Katie Hill was an amoral person, and I think she should be out of congress, but why don't these same standards apply tp Ilan Omar? Aside from her amoral behavior, she's got the illegal immigration tactics to add to the mix.

Hill's sexual exploits, once again, point to a spreading moral decline among our government leaders. It is not confined to our elected officials. Rather, moral decline runs rampant among our entire population. Question - how can we expect our elected leaders to govern and control our lives when they can't even control their own lives? Answer - when a government has gone rogue and no longer represents the people.
You have to view the sexual behaviors or Hill and others among Congress. Weiner and Menendez immediately come to mind, as do a number of pubbies. Moral relativism at it best. Indeed, this explain why the left is replacing belief in God with obeyance to the deep state and new world order. But, God has made it clear that He has an answer for this that humanity will eventually witness.
To help rationalize America's decline as explained by Selwyn, there are numerous writings that describe the eight stages of the rise and fall of great civilizations. These are worth a browse. As you will see, America has entered the eighth and final stage. And if we aren't careful, we will soon be among the rest of the world.

There is the story of the philandering husband who told his friend, "I have been constantly cheating on my wife with anybody in skirt. Afterward, I feel so guilty about it. What should I do?"
The friend suggest he go to a psychiatrist for help. Six months later the friend asked him, "Did the psychiatrist help?"
"He sure did."
"So, you've stopped your philandering?"
"No, I'm as active as an alley cat, I just don't feel guilty about it any more."
This is the way Progressives/Democrats deal with problems.

About our plummeting morals:
I clearly remember returning to the US after a working-abroad stint and thinking, WTH has happened here? In just a few years, prevalent societal attitudes had morphed into "Well, if they're gonna do drugs, give them clean needles. Or if they're gonna have sex, give them free condoms."
I couldn't understand how this had happened so quickly. And then I realized that at the same time the media had changed it's mission from REPORTING the who, what, where, when and how of an event to...becoming the voice of the "little guy", the minority. Some would consider this a noble cause; others like me consider it no longer JOURNALISM. At the same time, news was available 24/7.
So when the American public hears ONLY the minority cause du jour, all day, every day--- the news becomes DISTORTED and it seems like the minority opinion is the majority. And those who would advocate for the majority opinion are suppressed and inhibited.
I put the blame for our moral decline squarely on the backs of the mainstream media.

Good article by Mr. Volkov. A bit dense for me so I read it a few times, but thanks to Ms. Hill, I have another new word to try to forget.

Seems that Congressman Hastings from Florida has had his girl friend on his staff for years.
Why isn't Pelosi addressing this? She appears to be sexist by not doing it.

"Throuple?" It used to be called a 'menage a trois.' Immoral, probably, unseemly, certainly, commonplace over the course of Western civilization at all levels of society, most definitely. I don't see this as anything new or different. As a child I remember Wilbur Mills and Fannie Flagg drunkenly cavorting in a D.C. fountain. There were repercussions. Everyone seems to have forgotten Bob Packwood as well, resigning in 1995. The only one to avoid any serious penalties seems to be the former governor of Arkansas.

This type of behavior was admitted publicly as far back as the sixties and was promoted by such publications as Playboy Magazine as the lifestyle that was routinely practiced by the hip and sophisticated. One exception though, men were proud of multiple sexual partners and envied for it but women did not participate and brag about it. Apparently that red line was crossed somewhere along the way. You can give it any name you like but the "sophisticated" class is still nothing but a bunch of sleazy low life animals. Rome, Sodom and Gomorrah paid the price and so will these people.

Sexual dilly-dallying is the most innocuous form of corruption. The Washington cesspool is so much more putrid in so many ways that these titillating episodes are a diversion. This is old lady gossip on the deck of the Titanic. Pathetic.
