If one time could be pinpointed in America as a point of national turning, where the foundations crumbled and moral absolutes gave way to decadence and a loss of common decency — look no further than the 1960s.
“That was a genuine inflection point,” said Focus on the Family’s Tim Goeglein, author of “Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream.”

Then came Barack Obama.
Then came even bigger, even larger, even more sweeping revolutions.
