Pat Buchannan’s new book has an answer..minority and illegal demographics.
Good observatuon~!
Government mind control. I heard all about it on Coast to Coast AM last night. :-o
Creeping liberalism, political correctness, and the indoctrination of our young in the public schools and universities.....
That's just a start.
All of us who are old guys, would answer , read Pat B’s new book.That is the answer along with decreasing Judeo-Christian values that though perhaps not believed inwardly, were accepted as the worldview of America up to the ‘60’s. And since , can anyone say that except for the Reagan revival, that times have been greater for the American experience???
It's more lucrative today to stay home than it is to work. Add all the illegals to the slacker list, and you have a recipe for disaster. We're running out of free money.
Take the entitlement crowd in NYC. They want everyone else to work and pay the bills so they don't have to - and some of these kids are even going to college! There's no reason for them to work because entitlements pay better. One welfare recipient receives $40,000 per year. These kids could only hope to get that type of pay at an entry level.
Exponential escalation of some sh.t that began in the 1960s. Anyone who was not around during that time never saw it coming later.
The country is now made up of 50% Americans and 50% Hyphens. “Diversity” and “multiculturalism”.
The Free Sh*t Army continues to grow.
What has changed the most in the last 10-20 years or so in culture and politics ?
Its a generation. That's long enough. All the trends everyone mentions have all come together - Immigration, the Hippy generation / Leftists getting control of Gov't and education bureaucracies, growth in the welfare-state and entitlements. On the other side of the ledger, the US still had awesome technology, the reserve currency of the world, a huge domestic market, less competition overseas, and rising productivity - so the country could still afford to make a lot of mistakes and keep Leftists in power. These things are starting to diverge.
No, it's mostly demographics. There are not enough white voters shifting to the Republican party fast enough to overcome the minority population bomb. Our new, mostly Hispanic voters, have no understanding of how we became a great nation and why free markets work. They vote, largely out ignorance, for whatever party offers them the most stuff. Further, the left and MSM work feverishly to paint the GOP as anti-latino. That's how we lost California, and in another generation Texas (and other border states) will go down the same road if we don't find a way to reverse the trend.
Liberal politicians, trash tv, media whores have turned anyone that doesn’t feel that life is fair into a victim, and they’ve convinced them that the only way to “fairness” is through electing democrats.
The last guy to draw a line in the sand got his head blown off in Dallas 48 years ago. Since then—SSDD.
(1) the next generation became spiritually complacent / apathetic . . . And (2) society has gradually shifted toward being more selfish . . .
(3) AND, the public schools have been teaching more and more leftist stuff (not to mention the universities / colleges!) . . . The younger generation is very desensitized to various things — Partly because of television also.
One example of morals being changed from about 25 years ago, is — The new generation thinks that a virgin is very unusual and weird, and that’s exemplified by a movie called “The 40-year-old Virgin,” which mocks virginity. It is not seen as something to be proud of. The number of people who have a “shifted” viewpoint about virginity, has gone up, gradually.
Thus, spiritual vision and understanding is blurred.
(4) And, entitlements / welfare have grown to be a huge thing compared to 25 or twenty years ago. It isn’t seen as such a terrible thing to be on food stamps, for example. That also ties in with the “apathy” thing.
(5) “Judeo-Christian ethics” and morals aren’t _valued_ — therefore, there’s a domino effect that is seen in _many_ aspects of society, including unwed mothers, people living on welfare, lack of work ethic, lack of honesty, spiritual complacency, selfishness, and sensuality.
(6) Welfare or entitlements amount to robbery because the people who are getting them are “stealing” them from those who honestly _earned_ them. A moral political leader says “You can’t steal or take away from another man.” A different kind of politician will say, “It’s OK to take what someone else has earned, and put it in your pocket.” Thus morality is the basis for a healthy society, and the opposite results from a lazy, selfish, spiritually complacent attitude. . . . Sept. 11, 2001 woke some people up for a while, but . . .
History.
Look up “Prop 187”. The result will explain what happened to California.
