Cultural Nihilism in Full Swing - Lady Gaga vs. Katy Perry
June 4, 2012
Although she is an outrageously popular musician in 80+ nations around the world, some nations are banning Lady Gaga's music. Cultural nihilism was cool with the avante garde in the 1940s and 1950s, but now it's corrupted the mainstream, big time! Why does Lady Gaga have more cultural pull than the old philosophers (like Marx and Sartre) and revolutionary musicians (like Wagner) from the previous century? Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner contrast Lady Gaga and Katy Perry in this broadcast, and provide some means for parents to properly discern "entertainment" in their homes.

Reports have it, Mitt Romney has the Republican nomination in the bag. But should Christians and conservative vote for the man in November? Do we rely on cool rhetoric or the man's record? Socialist Romneycare. Enforcement of homosexual marriages. Tax-funded, $50 abortions. As the old Christian right fades away into irrelevance, the James Dobsons and Tony Perkins of the world are throwing their endorsements away on Mitt.

Pornography is way more accessible today than it was 100 years ago. There were hardly any sports, let alone games in the average boys' life 100 years ago. Now, computer games are everywhere. The character of guys is failing, but the economy is only getting tougher. So, what gives? Kevin Swanson discusses the critical importance of faith and character in the lives of our young men (and young women), in this discussion with Joshua Christiansen from Proverbs66.com.

Are libraries safe for your children? Some public libraries won't include Christian materials, for fear of violating the "Establishment Clause" in the U.S. Constitution. Libraries are based in worldviews (just like every other institution in our society). So pick your worldview! Kevin Swanson interviews John Thrower from Family Vision Library in The St. Louis, Missouri Metro area on this edition of Generations.

Why did Tyler Clementi jump off the George Washington Bridge? Why don't his evangelical parents condemn Tyler's sin of homosexuality, and encourage other young people to repent of this sin? Why do courts in New Jersey convict a man of a bias crime for shaming his homosexual roommate, but they won't go after Ku Klux Klanners marching through Jewish neighborhoods? The Tyler Clementi case introduces a good many questions, in a morally decadent age. Kevin Swanson carefully addresses a number of ethical issues that stem from this case. What should Dharun Ravi have done when faced with a severely morally-compromised roommate? Does the civil magistrate have a responsibility to enforce bias crimes like this?

"Celebrate mother's day! Encourage mothers NOT to have children. . . or better yet, kill their children." Our humanist institutions try to put a nice face on abortion, but they are losing ground. Planned Parenthood is celebrating mother's day by encouraging donations to their worldwide efforts to pervert motherhood. But less people call themselves pro-choice than ever before. The majority of Americans now call themselves "pro-life." Will this help the Personhood effort in Colorado? Kevin Swnason interviews Susan Sutherland from Personhood Colorado on efforts to place a referendum on the ballot.

Here’s the $100 million question that we keep asking ourselves: “Are there aspects to modern life that can be counter-productive to the way God wants us to live life?” Should we teach our children to plant gardens, build houses, stay out of debt, and be self-sufficient? Should they be less reliant on big government, big agribusiness, and big energy companies? How do we teach our children to take dominion? Jack Dody from the Christian Homesteaders Association provides some food for thought on this edition of Generations.

It's as odd as a museum exhibit - a highly-productive daughter about the business of the family economy in the 21st century. She's not enslaved to the local business owner. She's not plugging herself into the matrix. She's working in her father's economy and she lives in her father's home. A good many daughters leave home, and abandon the concept of home. They may come home on Christmas, or every other Christmas if they feel like it. But there are still a few daughters who retain the value of family life and home life. Kevin Swanson interviews Sarah Bryant, author of the book "My Father's Daughter." She's twenty years old, she's doing college at home studying theology, and she works in her father's home.
