The ‘50s have been the whipping boy for liberals ever since ‘60s commits took over and got their mindset front and center.

Basically the ‘50s were only the last age of civility, after which only vestiges remained.

I thank God I was raised by “children of the ‘50s”. My mother lived IN Baltimore and loved it. She road trolleys as a 6yo by herself - she said people were both decent AND looked out for each other. They’d get involved if a stranger seemed in trouble. Instead of the “don’t talk to strangers” callous cowardice promulgated most of my life.

And liberals say they’re so caring.

As someone posted on another forum:
,,

Why have most of these tragedies only occurred recently?
,,

Repeating firearms have existed for over 150 years – the Colt revolver for example.
,,

Why didn’t those kinds of massacres occur 150… 120.. 100 years ago?
,,

Why didn’t these tragedies occur back when select fire – fully automatic weaponry were easily available?
,,

Why do these tragedies almost always occur in “Gun-Free” zones – where the law-abiding are denied the right of self-defense?
,,
And why do they happen a lot of the time in heavily Democratic states with that already have tight gun-control laws?

obama said in the election that the right wants to take us back to the social ways of the 50’s and he got hsi laugh.

Well I neevr grew up in the 50’s but I sure bring my kids up with respect, manners and have them know hard work and understand the world does not evolve around them.

The media will never mention the failed social issues today because they don;t raise their kids.
They get nannies, they get dog walkers instead of telling the kids to walk the dog, they eat out instead of teaching kids to cook and clean up, they get cleaners instead of telling kids to clean up.
I’ve seen parents say they;re too tired form work, seen parents finish work and go out to dinner and leave the kdis with others.

Every day I see and hear about this but the country and the media will not mention how new parenting has nto worked because it wuld mean themselves not being good parents.

Stop telling kids it;s alright to be different, tell them to fit in and get a grip, when the kid falls, tell them to get up not do you want a band aid and ice for the little boo boo, tell the kids to have repsect, sir , mam, please and thank you.
