Society and the Slow, Painful Death of Shame

If you're conservative, and you haven't been reading Michelle Malkin's blog, you're missing out. She's a wealth of information and wonderful coherent thought. In other words, a great alternative to listening to the mainstream media outlets.

Michelle's got a great piece today about the "Girls Gone Wild" culture we're living in... a short excerpt to give you a taste:

Much of my reporting and writing is focused on national security and immigration enforcement. But I also write about cultural issues and this afternoon, I want to address the need for a different kind of “homeland defense.” As the mother of a 4 year old girl and an 8 month old boy, I am increasingly dismayed by the liberal assault on decency, the normalization of promiscuity, and the mainstream media’s role as shameless collaborators.

First, let me tell you about my new hero. Her name is Ella Gunderson and she’s a student at Holy Family Parish School in Kirkland, Washington. As reported in the Seattle Times a few months ago, Ella recently wrote a remarkable letter to the Nordstrom’s department store chain.

I'm sure you know the story of the young girl who challenged the fashion choices for young women at a major department store - and won. There's more to this speech - and it's definitely worth a read. Oh, and bookmark Michelle's site - she comes up with good stuff like that on a daily basis.
