I see this more as critique of how we glorify all the cardinal sins due to a lack of an objective right and wrong. The modern left pushes the idea that morals and truth are subjective and therefore all lifestyles are valid and beneficial to society. This has led to a massive deficit in morality that leads people to glorify all that is a detriment to a functioning society. We glorify adulterers, the self absorbed, the prideful, the gluttonous (body positivity), the lazy (welfare and wealth redistribution) instead of promoting voluntary charity and cooperation. All of those in the spotlight, i.e. celebrities, are the role models for our nation so it isn't surprising that we have no hope left. The decent and the reasonable individuals amongst us are silenced while the extremes are amplified leading to an extreme division in everyone's minds and hearts. This division will lead us all to our doom.
@Christech1 Looks like someone's been drinking the right-wing kool-aid. You seriously believe that people who hold left/progressive views glorify adultery?! I think you are confusing the people you watch on tv with ordinary people. We don't glorify people on welfare, we just refuse to shame them, like you do, because we understand that poverty isn't always the pure result of an individual's choices in life. And government is a more effective tool than charity for helping these people. We don't shame overweight people because they are people, and their value doesn't depend on their body/appearance.

The left believes morality is subjective? You don't even bother qualifying your massive generalization with an example, so we can dismiss that. I honestly feel like this song is talking about people like you, since you sound like a religious conservative. Jesus said blessed are the poor, but you think they're just lazy mooches. See the hypocrisy? You sound just like all the evangelicals who blame the liberals for the decline of morality, when, in reality, it is the evangelicals who keep voting for the immoral Republican war-mongers. Please stop claiming the moral high ground, it is not left versus right, it is just the fight to give everyone a fair shot at life. The song is great because it points out exactly how much of the bible the religious conservatives are out-right contradicting in order to push their political agenda.

@Christech1 Nothing to do with the "modern left" as you claim. You're a right wing smear merchant. Be gone!
