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.

Spot on.

Please forgive me, but I think you are greatly out of touch. It is the snowflake generation.

what happened was we let communists take over our schools and government, and we let women vote. Simple as that

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.

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.



There is a lot of truth in that.

There is that, too. Probably couldn’t have happened without women voting.

“We will take America without firing a shot ... we will bury you!


“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.

“We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.” - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev

And we didn't think it would happen. They are quite confident that those who hold to the Republic idea will do nothing, for sure nothing physical. We are afraid of the paper that rules us.

This is a good quote, but is generally only taken at face value. The following quote should be looked at very seriously...........................

Hosea 4:6
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.


As I have said in the past, The Russian Orthodox Church has a very good grasp of what is going on and how it happened.

At the risk of being lambasted, I'd go a bit easy on the woman vote. My darling mother was as conservative as they come.

Somehow, some way, things need to get back to, work, and be rewarded for working.

It's the way it's been since man started living together in groups. The tide comes in, the tide goes out. History repeating itself over and over, like the changing of the seasons. It's almost comforting, because you already know the ending. Nothing you or me is going to do about it so why waste time or energy even debating it. Tomorrow is gone and it ain't coming back.

I graduated in 1989. Life was still pretty much as it was in the 1950's. The trends that reduced our society started with the hippies in the 60s. Partly because there was a large class that no longer wanted to be what was considered American. Then these people got older and became teachers, and professors, and bankers and such. Once you mixed the hippies with money , the are no longer hippies. They are the basis of a socialist movement. Hollywood embraced these types and while schools are churning out more and more every day, the news media is telling us they are the right one!!!!!!
I moved away from the culture I grew up in because I felt like an Alien, in the Suburbs of Philadelphia. Here in Small town Wyoming it is no different though. There are the same issues here as there were there. Culture seems to be so embedded in this 50 year old, that to Make America Great Again is near impossible. My wife and I are in our 40s now and never had children , and with her health concerns never will. I am actually glad that when I go join the "Good Lord" I will not leave behind a generation that will hate everything I love. My brother has two daughters, while being my nieces, I can barely relate to anything about them. The one that spent four years in a Good state run University is a shadow of what our family represented in the past. Now living In Denver as a marketing consultant I hardly know her...................

I think a lot of it started when you got the idea spanking the kid was wrong to discipline them. Stupid should hurt and when stupid no longer hurt the demise started increasing rapidly.

Knowing what I know now and being in the "Hippy" movement, I can honestly say their original idea's on what was going on world and US wise was correct. The problems started when the communist party also known as the intellegent branches seen the opportunity to infiltrate with the new communist party line of peace and love. While peace and love is a great scriptural teaching it can also be preverted. The movement was a huge springboard for operation mockingbird. EVERYONE fell for it and still are.

I am a Christian straight white man.

I am the enemy.

I am worse than any jihadi terrorist or any group of jihadi terrorists.

I am the racist, the oppressor, the rapist, the murderer, I am the slave holder.

Not that I've ever done that personally, but I'm a Christian straight white man so I am responsible for all of it for all of history.

Without me the world would be in peace, man would not kill man.

Women aren't the problem. Where would we be without them? The only good thing about gays is they are physically forbidden to reproduce.

The sixty's hippy counter culture grew up and got degrees and they actually live that crap. They teach it to our kids and pass on their love of Marxist theory, forget that it has never worked. They actually think it is just because no one as thsmart as them has ever tried it. It has infiltrated our education system and judicial system and every facet of our government. Our government thrives on socialistic practice. Our media is used as a teaching tool to great advantage. Daily they preach their theory and make it sound so good that we start blaming one another for our lot in life. The democrat party has completed the metamorphosis to openly embracing Marxist/Socialist governance and are pretty successful at advancing it with the help of our hapless establishment republicans that have grown fat on the daily corruption they have presided over in governing for many years without reprisal.

It's our fault for living our lives oblivious to the boiling cauldron we are sitting in. Antelope sniper has the right idea. We can only pay attention to our kids and give them alternate ideas to counter the stupidity they will encounter on a daily basis the rest of their lives. Our country didn't get this convoluted over night and it will not get right anytime soon without people actually deciding to get back to the fundamentals of the republic as put forth in our constitution.

God Bless America and Merry Christmas to all.

What a bunch of drivel here.

Older generations have been whining about younger generations since the beginning of time, but this place takes it to a new "woe is me" low.

Participation trophies
Everything my kid does is cute, great, outstanding etc.
I want to be my kid's best buddy.
Not kicking a kid in the pants when they need it.
Your degree in pre-colonial art science is a good move because it feels good to you.
You don't need to repay that debt.

I can go on and on and on.
