A recent poll showing a decline in traditional American values confirms what conservatives have been saying: The character of America is changing.

The percentage of those polled who said patriotism is important dropped to 38 percent today from 70 percent 25 years ago. While 59 percent said having children was important 25 years ago, now just 30 percent do. And the importance of religion dropped to 39 percent now from 62 percent calling it important 25 years ago.
