When did the USA Change?
When a common credo "I'll do it" went to "Someone should do something" it was the beginning of the end. And the motto "Someone else should do something" is where the USA is now. So......someone else (the communists) are now doing something.
Get used to it..............or get involved personally. There is no 3rd choice.
I don't agree on the woman's vote. The nation was doing fine until after WW2.
Yes but that is when women left the home to work and it has been down hill ever since. 2. When the Supreme Court ruled that each county could no longer send a Senator to state house but also must be on population, checks and balance was lost. You can see the results.(not good) Cheers NC

It started a long time ago. Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson started really moving the ball, then came FDR and WWII. From my POV, things really changed between the JFK assassination and the end of Vietnam. That is where we (USA) crested the hill and started going downhill very quickly. I see some signs things are changing back around but way too slowly to be back to "normal" before my demise. I am not trying to be negative or fatalistic, but I don't see even an 80% reversal in 20 years and I will be long gone by then. I pray for our nation, our children and their children daily. Well, the rest of the world, too, but they need to at least help their own cause.

With the stand up and testify, holier than thou type church folk. (Hear it personally, I'm there, just not looking for human attention)
I disagree.
Had the changes not started earlier, those two things could have not happened. In the 40's O'Hare would have been told to sit down and shut up. Ostracized even. There wouldn't have been public discussion of abortion.
Attitudes had to have changed before those events were possible.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!
1776! Our country has been changing since the inception, We've been through good and bad times. Each generation does things a little different than the previous and the older generation always thinks the world is falling apart. Everything runs in cycles. The pendulum swings one way for a while, then back the other. Things have been far worse than today. The problems aren't any different, just better known. All of the bad things complained about aren't new, and have often been much worse.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.
Dont know all the answers but This afternoon 2 kids came down the drainage behind the house with 2 bottle rockets. One didnt go off other barely popped. They were working over anthills. Remember when we hoodlums all had firecrackers rockets, and m80s? They were illegal even in the 50s, but available last 4th the neighbor set a fire with Roman candles, got charged with arson. And he was drunk Remember the movie meet me in st Louis where it was expected Point being culture has been forced to change and not always for better
This. She is the reason prayer was taken out of schools in the 60's. This country has gone down hill since.

Possibly I'm the one that doesn't get it, but I have to ask. Society as I remember it was generally civil. I was a small town kid and my childhood problems didn't go too far past finding someone to throw ball with or just hang out. I would take off in the morning on my bikle, ball glove or fishing rod over the handlebars. Needed to be home by dark, which seldom happened. There was nothing suspicious about an adult , stranger or otherwise, patting my head, in my estimation it was a friendly act. Our govt use to offer guns to the private citizen for heavily discounted prices in the back of magazines. Now in this age of tattooed women, men with gauges in their ears, rings in their nipples, identity crisis between their ears that we're supposed to accept, marriage to anything you can get to an alter, mass shootings; I have to ask myself, when and how did this happen to us?
The world is getting better, not worse. Shut off the news for a while and go shoot some guns:

You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
