Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What happened to us in the USA???

I worry for my kids. When I grew up(born in 1975), "The Dukes of Hazard" was what we watched on Friday at 7:00, they showed the Disney movies(Davy Crockett, Old Yeller, ect) in grade school. Men/boys and women/girls were expected to act appropriately for their gender. You respected your parents/ teachers and had a solid sense of right and wrong.

I was raised not to judge people for being different, but at the same time we recognized that they were different.

I'm getting pretty tired of the "new normal" on society trying to tell us that it's ok to identify as anything, as long as it's not a straight Christian man. I mean when did it become morally wrong to have good Christian morals and teach them to your kids?

If you know the answer to any of this let me know. Me, I'm gonna get my boys(6 & 2) REAL coonskin caps and both of the Fess Parker Davy Crockett movies for Christmas and let people tell me what horrible sexist, bigoted values I'm passing on to my kids.

You'd like it where I live, but that area does seem to be quickly shrinking.

If your kids are in public schools, they are already being turned against you.

That gets more progressive as they graduate to the next grade, clear through college.

Total liberal indoctrination system.

When there are so many Union Fudds in the world having kids, it's what happens.

This. America has changed in a real bad way. The liberal anarchists are still trying to destroy traditional America and turn it into their version of a socialist dream land. Ol' Joe McCarthy was right after all.

Holy Chit! I missed that part! Pure bred commie!

With the school systems graduation 10's of millions of voting age kids each year, where will we be in 20 years?

Do the math.

Plucked?

Without a kiss or Vaseline.

And those that vote conservative are dying off... not being replenished.

"What happened to us in the USA???"

Communism and the all too willing and gullible Democratic party.

When Hitler came to power in Germany, many among the Jewish intelligentsia there made their escape to the US and began teaching in our universities, where (as they gradually rose to administrative control) they transformed them into indoctrination centers for Cultural Marxism. We are living the consequences today.

Hey guys, quit your bitching and raise your kids conservative. They don’t have to agree with that liberal slop they get in school. Mine are in their late 30s and sure don’t think or vote left.
And I have a brother that just retired as a HS principal. He is “right” of most of us.

Ah, the old class warfare thing. I think most anywhere in western Europe would suit you well... and they have your idolized commie healthcare. You can make many friends named Muhammad and veil your wife and daughters. Be perfect for ya.


EDIT: Bonus! You can pay up to half or more your paycheck in taxes to cover all the sick people you think need help with healthcare!

They are winning, destroying America, and they are doing it intentionally. Most conservatives refuse to believe or even acknowledge it.

8 years under Obama and all the freaks came out of their hiding place and were placed on pedestals and given more rights than any normal person.

What about private, church, or home schooling? Think that might help?

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

Along with modern media and the net connecting everyone as one city

Not in the modern world.

Most parents today don't have the time education and skills to educate their kids with the skills they will need in the modern economy.

As for home schooling, are you prepared to teach your kids to code, advanced math etc?

In my daughters 8th grade math class the teacher told the kids NONE of their parents would be able to help them with their math homework.....at which point she pointed at my daughter and said "except yours".

Also kids need to be properly socialized. Separating them from the world does not prepare them for it. They need to experience it so they can understand the enemy and what they are up against. On a regular basis, my kids and I discuss their homework and what the teachers/text books are leaving out. I teach them skepticism, and standards of evidence so they can properly evaluate what's presented to them in a critical fashion.

However,

Since most of you old foggies are out of touch with what's happening in the real world, you are missing the bigger picture. The current generation is actually the MOST SKEPTICAL in the history of the U.S. They are the least likely to accept what they are fed by institutions, schools, governments, churches etc. at face value. They are very quick to call BS, and throw the red flag. Everyday that my kids go to school and listen to the liberal BS they become more libertarian, and it's not must my kids.....

You know, at one time people were considered able to look at issues separately and make up their own minds without having the answers spoon fed to them. Takes a special kind of stupid to blindly follow one party or the other. Of course there are those that have nothing better to do than cherry pick through everything that somebody has disagreed with them on, and repost the same 2-3 quotes REPEATEDLY which MUST prove the whoever said them is a "Fudd" or a "Pure Bred Commie". I vote Pro life first, pro gun 2nd. I don't believe in the "redistribution of wealth," I work for my money.

Fact is, and you probably don't want to hear it, and I doubt you will understand, the biggest problem we have economically is enabled fiscal irresponsibility. The government DELIBERATELY keeps the dollar in a state of perpetual devaluation. That encourages people to spend money they don't have (credit spending) and pay it off later with cheap dollars. The system falls in on itself when someone tries to retire and their income stops raising as the value of the dollar shrinks.

Should have never left the gold standard.

Bingo.
