How did we get to this point in America? What happened that allowed for the fabric of America to become so thin? Where did all the leaders go? We got here by allowing the media to begin to distort the truth in the 1960’s and allowing them to continue that distortion for the past four decades. We have allowed the media to glorify the 1960’s to this day. And, we have allowed the potential leaders of our nation to be swept away by the tide of progressivism in our schools and systems of higher education.
The aging hippies and radicals of the sixties have found a way to fondly reminisce about that era, and due to either age, time, drugs, the media or all of the above, distort the events of that time into what they perceive as a magical time of change. The haze of these memories has only become more colorful over time and the glorification of the sixties by the media has contributed to a self satisfaction among those of that time, as having created a wonderful era. It is more accurate that they created a wonderful error that has manifested itself in the form of Progressivism again in America. These are the same radicals who were university intellectuals, political elite and the street thugs they manipulated to unwind the fabric of America.
The sixties that is embedded in American lore and taught in American schools is a far cry from the reality of the day.

The only escape I can see is ...spending and humongous deficits and debt...At this point the more the better. The ONLY thing stopping Communists fron socializing medicine is “It costs too much” ..Not that it is Communisms. Guess the whole mess has to FLOP. Then maybe we get back to the Constitution. The only thing that will ever stop the liberals is NO MONEY.
I'm just another little american guy, but I'm doin' my little part by not spending NO MONEY on nothing if I can help it.

Aided by decades of Leftist media propaganda, the heathen hippies have turned the country against Christians and their values. Formerly Christian church bodies were so cowed by this tactic that they surrendered and became “tolerant” of the evil agenda being taught in our schools to our children and promoted by television and films. Christians, the “salt of the earth” appointed by Jesus to keep the rot from society, will either begin witnessing to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus with courage, or find themselves cast on the ash heap of US history. As Jesus warned: “If the salt has lost its saltiness, it is fit for nothing and will be thrown out and trampled by men.”

Truth if it has ever been spoken.
I was there in the sixties, and yes, I do remember it. It was the worst time in human history IMO, and certainly in MY human history.

“... the release of initiative and enterprise made possible by popular self-government ultimately generates disintegrating forces from within. Again and again after freedom has brought opportunity and some degree of plenty, the competent become selfish, luxury-loving and complacent, the incompetent and the unfortunate grow envious and covetous, and all three groups turn aside from the hard road of freedom to worship the Golden Calf of economic security.
The historical cycle seems to be: From bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back to bondage once more.”
- Henning Webb Prentis, Jr., President of the Armstrong Cork Company. “Industrial Management in a Republic,” National Conference Board on March 18, 1943
