FOXNews.com – The O’Reilly Factor – Interview – Who Is Winning the Culture War?

In an interview with Bill O’Reilly, Pat Buchanan discusses the decay of Western culture. While I do not agree with everything Buchanan says all the time, and while I do not usually appreciate the things he says and does, in this article he does a pretty good job pointing us to the roots of our moral decline in America.

“It goes back, frankly, to the French revolution, the ideas do, and even before,” Buchanan says. “And it is fundamentally, deeply anti-Christian, anti-Catholic, because it rejects the values and beliefs and what those cultures basically created in the west. That’s why it’s cultural Marxism. The great enemy of Marxism is western civilization.”

Buchanan makes the correct assumption that the influence of famous men such as Robespierre and Rousseau has led to the secular/anti-Christian mentality of Western nations. Perhaps now, more than ever before in this country, the American church needs to be set apart and distinct from the culture. A continuing move in the direction that other Western nations have gone will lead us down the same path of spiritual death and moral putrescence as Western European nations.
