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

not many good answers left that 51 percent of the population, more or less, are willing to agree with.

there's been too much change, and it's happened too quickly. in 70 years the world has speeded up, changed, and now values everything differently than even 50 years ago. that's some 3 generations in a world that's at least 10,000 years old.

there's the rest of the world, and they have information. it's not just us anymore.

wait, there's more. the centralization of wealth is p'ing off a lot of young people. they see the wealth statistics not just in this country but in the world. inheritance makes many people instantly rich the moment they're borne, others work their whole life, and barely scrape by. getting a good education helps. that's probably what saved me, despite johnson and his catholic & baptist friends that wanted to get me kilt in that dirty little se asian war.

in 1966, land (farm & forest) was sellin' for 100 dollars an acre. by late 67 land was at 200 per acre. inflation (guns & butter both) was beginning to set in. lucky now to find an acre for 7,000. and back in the 50's, the land was 50 an acre, and crying for buyers. that was the tail end of the cotton era, and prior to the poultry industry settling in. ah, the good ol days.

but, now, we've got the ISS, and the global internet. given the path we're on, not likely everyone will survive.

It may well be a mistake to think things were ever that close to perfect.

Probably the most accurate post I'll read today.

Not true...raise your kids with the proper values,hard work, honesty etc. and your grand kids will share the same values....Mine do.

And Mom and Dad are both in the same home!

Turn off your TV’s and quit worrying about other folks. Lots of good people left in the world. Many of those don’t give a schit about church/temple/synagogue or whatever else others do either.

As to your post on healthcare, I’m not in disagreement. Our medical system is fubar. Was before the ACA too.

Dr. Spock.

The key is to do it your way and not GAF what the other folks say or think.


Also, dont pawn off your responsibility to raise your kids. If you want your kids to be raised right, you have to be the one to raise them. Not some foot ball coach or baby sitter.

Ding. Winner.

This.

But, with most families having to have both parents work, just to survive, it's a hard to not depend on others, and hard to spend the required time.

I think this is where a lot of "us" went wrong. Somebody was responsible for raising these people up right. While a parent cannot ultimately accept responsibility for their child's decisions in adulthood, strong parenting bleeds over into adulthood, in most cases. IMO.

Yeah, it was basically the CIA applying psy-op measures, originally developed to weaken our foreign enemies, to the people of the United States.

It never hurt Northman and the commies in charge let him have any kind of gun he wants.,

Whoa. Are you chitting me, cowboy?

Yeah, I cant square that deal.


I am not so sure that people have not traded a "lifestyle" for the responsibility of raising their kids though. Fancy clothes, a McMansion, new cars......we think our kids need this stuff. Actually, they need us to be there, not provide them with expensive junk.

My wife and I dont take the kids to Disney Land or drive new outfits........but we eat our meals together. Every day. Go to PTA meetings. School concerts.



Raising our kids is more valuable to us.

Seriously?

We do without a lot of stuff, but we decided that raising our kids was the job that would pay the highest wage.

That wont matter to the country when millions in the cities are raised on the welfare plan where women are financed to be knocked up by any stud that turns them on. Gov will pay them to raise their bastids and women dont need to chose a decent man who will be a father to her kids.

One of the first steps in dedtroying a nation is destruction of the family. Womens liberation financed by well meaning lieberals have accomplished that.
Promoting socialism requires replacing belief in God with belief in self and govt. Then people can be brainwashed into believing anything, such as filling their country with heathens and open borders are good things.

Getting women into the work force, and out of the home, was a key plank of the Cultural Marxists.

This.

One word- LIBERALS.
