Be informed
The “Sound of Freedom” movie, even if sensationalized, is a wake-up call. When drug smuggling and human trafficking makes headlines, we blame the evil cartels.
However, the United States’ demand for drugs and the sex trade is the problem. Supply and demand, fundamental economic principles, are why human trafficking continues. Plain and simple, we are major consumers of evil.
Corrupt morals and apathy are affecting thousands of lives. The movie industry capitalizes on depravity with explicit sexual content and immorality is celebrated. Social media and government agendas facilitate deviant behavior under the pretext of freedom and tolerance. The consequences are dire.
Pornography in the mainstream media whets an appetite for sexual stimulation. It can lead to increasingly more deviant perverse material. Resulting in the porn industry booming at the expense of extreme human suffering.
Pornographic material contributes to unspeakable human abuse. Easily accessible, it ruins individuals, families, and is a major reason for slavery. Sexually assaulted, young children are victims of this evil industry too.
To end slavery, the United States fought the Civil War and England appealed to parliament and public sentiment. Today, it will take the same determination and perseverance to stop human trafficking.
Reach out to lawmakers to be a voice for those who are enslaved.
Stop watching pornography! Stop viewing films with sexual content.
Be aware of those “grooming children” with things like drag queen entertainment at libraries and schools. Stop explicit age-inappropriate sex education. Be informed. Defend the powerless. Most importantly—pray!

Yeah, well good luck with that. FYI. Dragging drag queens into this? Let’s throw some more spaghetti against the fridge to detract from the real problems threatening our very democracy!
Typical right wing conservative bible thumper trying to impose their concept of morality on everyone else. The great thing about our country is that we have the freedom to lead our own lives without the church or state (or you) telling us what we can or cannot do, as long as we don’t harm others. You are the one’s who are indoctrinating children, telling them it’s wrong for people to be themselves, that sex is “dirty”, and that those who do not agree with your morality will burn in hell. Don’t tell me what to do or not do, and I will do the same with you. Get out of my bedroom and get a life!
Did you ever see the show Mission Impossible? Those actors like Tom Cruise play a role in the movie and they are supposedly play a role or standards in real life. But they influence a lot of people every where in America. As for porn, it’s every where. On TV ppv, internet, video sales shop, small stores selling it, they make this material available to anyone. They call it the 1st amendment right. And it sells too. What is it do the average American want? Money. Recognition. Property. Anything to make them feel comfortable. We should be happy we live in Hawai’i and are considered Americans. It’s the way of life. Make it better. I want to be a pop rock singer and famous. No one should stop him or her from doing it. That’s the American way of life.
American free network tv shows less nudity than it did twenty or thirty years ago. Nudity has been replaced by horrific images of murder, torture, and mutilation. Top network shows that are based on the rape, kidnapping, and murder of women and children remain popular for years and thrive in reruns. That’s our real addiction. Drag queens aren’t the source of our violence addiction. Posing our kids with AR-15s and packing pistols to the grocery stores is the real “grooming” going on here. (And yes, I’m a gun owner.)
