Legacy of Hugh Hefner: the destruction of faithfulness, responsibility, fidelity and holding to sacred vows…

Hugh HefnerHugh Hefner, the massively influential publisher and leader of the 1960s sexual revolution, died of natural causes Sept. 27 at age 91.

He is survived by his wife Crystal Harris, ex-wife Mildred Harris, partner Anna Sophia Berglund, partner Jenna Bentley, partner Kristina Shannon, girlfriend Holly Madison, girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson, girlfriend Bridget Marquardt, partner Brande Roderick, ex-wife Kimberly Conrad, girlfriend Shannon Tweed, partner Sheila Levell, partner Melissa Dawn Taylor, and many other women he was openly involved with at the same time that he was married to his three wives.

Hefner touted his pornographic magazine as “breaking barriers,” which cannot be denied. In the decades since the first issue, America has discarded the norm of

monogamous marriage as a lifetime commitment oriented toward family formation. Among the victims of this baneful change to which Hefner dedicated his life are the nation’s 13 million single mothers and 20 million fatherless children, representing a tenfold increase in out-of-wedlock births between Playboy’s launch and its progenitor’s death.

And replacing it with simple selfishness and the instant gratification of self-serving hedonism.  All jokes aside about “reading it for the articles,” this was one of the main spears of the Left’s running through and taking over the institutions of our culture, politics, religion, and most of us, founding philosophy (which, as the Italian Socialist big thinker, Antonio Gramsci, was the only way to “take over” the US given that the traditional class warfare (which the Democrats are now using in earnest) didn’t work in the beginning of the last century).

The bedrock of our Society is the nuclear family.  The Left knows this and capitalizes on it.  And Hefner did his part, with Playboy and his enticement marketing that this selfishness was the highest of ideas, by making it seem that the grass was always greener and greater (at no cost other than a few bucks a month) than what most men had at home and gave lots of teenagers an ideal that was both unattainable and hollow.
