Even here on Free Republic, on several occasions, I have posted a mild comment that "life was better in the 1950's" and -- WHAM! -- someone will seriously accuse me of missing the days of old Jim Crow.

Ummmmmmmmm. It's not always about race. I want my country back -- so that all people can benefit.

Since you are of that age (remember the ‘50’s)...think back to some of the things certain preachers and moralists warned us about for getting too liberal about certain social matters.

I can’t think of much they were wrong about.

Yep. I've gotten the same sort of response to suggestions that we eliminate the EPA. All the evil corporations will dump toxic waste in the nearest playground.
