What has happened to my country? I am old. I am 77. I pay to live in a gated community because I am scared.
“Bravo Roberto” near my home serves from a cooked-from-scratch, delicious menu, items not bought from a food service truck, not served up by a chain restaurant that loads Americans up on heavy doses of salt to achieve its number one rating. In these tragic times, food, friends, family, God, prayer and Christmas are about all we have left. And “Bravo Roberto” serves up every day in Florida’s St. Lucie West a product we have allowed ourselves to be traded out of by the nasty liberals, the nasty Democrats, the

I entertain a fantasy that sometime in the mid 90s under Clinton, the HARRP program went arwy and reality was split down 2 timelines. The real one and Bizzaro World. And we Ended up in the wrong one.
Hell it’s more believable than the people of America electing and WORSHIPING a communist Muslim.... But here we are.
Sopmeone needs to keep this thread for the future. I was brought to tears and laughter reading it.
Thanks Oldpuppymax
You know, Norm, your idea seems to make more sense.
What happened to people?
Norm, your idea is making sense. I remember hearing about HAARP in early 1995 when I stumbled across Art Bell when I could not sleep at night since I was recovering from an auto accident. Maybe that’s it, someone cranked it up too high, perhaps is got mixed up with the Russian equivalent of HAARP plus the French have one too called Nostradamaus. Bizzaro World is a good description, call the criminals to protect you from the cops, vote in communists, etc.
Now I’ll be the first to admit I read too much sci-fi but DAMN.
Either that or we really are ants in some alien experiment.
But “reality” makes a lot less sense than my tinfoil ideas. And that is a really scary proposition.
Since the first election, I’ve been thinking I fell down the rabbit hole. I absolutely cannot believe the world has been turned upside down in such a horrible way in such a short time!
What you wrote brought tears to my eyes, thank you for painting such a beautiful picture with your words.
All the best to you and yours,

We never locked the door either. Even when no one was home, the door was always open. We got to run around all over town as long as we were home by dark.
We rode bikes out into the country to catch the horses and rode the horses back to town, pausing to eat a picnic lunch next to the creek. No helmets or anything.
Once I failed to get all the air out of the horse’s belly, because we were in a hurry to get in the saddle and start riding. Big mistake. We were galloping up hill when the saddle rolled under the horse, and our heads landed uncomfortably close to where the hooves were landing.
I remember buying bubble gum with mills (worth less than a penny). We said the pledge of alligiance daily and said prayers in school. We got our bottoms paddled if we didn’t do what the teacher said.
Freedom today’s children have never had and will never know due to the larger amount of evil in the world. Our teachers never did the air raid drills, they just did the tornado drills, which were basically the same thing.
When I was in the 8th grade, we had a civil defense training week, where we learned that in our rural area, we would all probably survive the initial attack, and had a good chance to survive, if we used our knowledge and took shelter for the appropriate time.
They even showed us how to peel and eat a banana, if it has radiation dust on it. I never found it the least bit scary: To me it was just life: Prepare for the worst and hope for the best, and chances are good you’ll make it ok, especially if you say your prayers and do what God wants you to. Very simplistic life in our little town.
Wonderland waiting, falling, far down the rabbit hole,
Mad as a hatter, right out of control...
Lyrical excerpt from a song of mine ;)
OOOH Woolworths. Yes loved that store, and also the Ben Franklins. Used to go to the movies with my cousin all the time. Matinee or at night. No problem.
I was born in 1946. I remember good times and tough times. Nothing like now. This is not the nation I remember back in Eisenhower’s Presidency.
********************************************************
You are right-it is not the same nation. Remember Eisenhower’s crackdown on illegal immigration? It was called Operation Wetback. No way to get by with something like that today.
It worked, lots of the illegals just self-deported. Somehow even that is a politically incorrect term. How brain dead stupid is that? An illegal decides they want to go home, and they do it all on their own - what’s not to like?
I wasn't asking for it, but I have to live in it.
I just added it to my bookmarks in Explorer and Chrome. I do that for FR threads like this one.
Thank you for your service to our country. Your sentiments are exactly how I feel. I miss the America of my youth, and pray some future generation will have those joys and freedoms we enjoyed. Don’t know when, but I hope someday, cause those liberal hippies can’t live forever. :-)
Yep.
Now how do we get it back? (short of a shooting war)
TV shows, and ADS, ALL had the dad as SMART and in CONTROL.......now ALL DADS ARE IDIOTS or not there.
“I wrote this song about my childhood...me and my brother....”
Great tune....Those are the memories that are just not available to the youth of today....The culture is so far removed from what we knew.....
