Dear Editor: It would seem that the daily dose of abuse by a growing number of activists is proof of the anger and vitriol which is becoming more and more an accepted part of the social lack of conscience and dignity at every level of the spin-driven rhetoric and personal assault on every level of social and the new age culture of hate and fear.

As noted in The Editor’s Space (June 24) “Political Debate Has Hit a New Low.” It seems at times, that art of social debate and civil discussion has in many instances, sunk even lower on the civility scale. The art of disagreeing without being disagreeable has become a fatal causality of the “Me First, Me Only” mentality and new age social and political interchange and dialogue.

Sadly, only a few years ago, such outrageously personal attacks and purposeful lies would have drawn an instantaneous and loudly acrimonious cry of vitriolic outrage from the socialist, progressive and communist defenders of the left’s political and cultural duplicity. Today, they seem to have driven this hate-fueled dialogue to an even new dimension with hardly a whimper of social dismay or righteous indignation. This lack of civility is reinforced and championed by the power-driven electronic and written media and political bottom-feeders who slink in the wasteland of glee reinforced greed, control and power.

Wake up America. The bigots and for the most part, the viciously anti-Catholic and anti-God paranoia is stripping us of our rights and country, one lie, one freedom and defamation at a time.
