I’ll take that as a compliment, bho
Right.
If not for today’s technology and former KKK dominance, I would envy those days 100%. Back in 1950 we still maintained HALF of the world’s GDP. Could you imagine it? The gas prices back then? Everything was affordable. Jobs were easy to find. Education and housing was cheaper too.
People were more God-fearing. Freedom and world peace were poised to endure for centuries because we started off with an Atom Bomb monopoly {that was doomed due to Truman’s and FDR’s gullibility in espionage}.
Front doors were left unlocked, and parents trusted neighbors and teachers to paddle their kids. [Yeah, it was too rough on kids, granted, but look at how our nation’s sense of right-and-wrong is eroding.] Children were out on bikes and everywhere, generally safe and physically fit. Prisons were less common, and repeat offenses after Alcatraz were, if I remember correctly, only 10% or thereabouts. Immigration and quarantine policies were actually sane. Perhaps Truman didn’t bother to stop KKK lynchings and the DNC was utterly racist, but Detroit was incredibly rich, famous, and law-abiding [up until ‘Devil’s Night Out’].
[Deep sigh.]
That was America’s first ‘Camelot’ moment, which reached it’s peak under tax cutter and civil rights champion, JFK [who allied himself with republicans in congress].
NOW look at once-mighty Detroit. NOW look at prisons and failed ‘rehab’ programs [which were even worse when leftists had more influence over them]. Look at ‘world peace’ too. Painful! As for GDP, China is now #1 because businesses are treated like kings over there and kicked around here in the US. And our VISA policy of today is in the process of injecting us with ebola, the worst disease ever, even worse than the Black Death.
When President ‘B. Insane Ebola’ compliments the RNC about being ‘in the 50s’, they should THANK him! It’s their ‘50s’ mindset that supports frakking shale oil BTW, the only major achievement of this decade so far. Modern technology combined with old fashioned horse sense equals great achievements.
