Took God out of schools and allowed marxist teachers to brainwash the kids who now make up the most illiterate electorate in American history.

Seriously, the 50’s middle class Western Culture society would be the absolute best circumstances for anyone of any skin color to live in. The deal would be, though, that you’d have to behave within the expectations of that culture in order to thrive.

_______________________________________________

Oh, and exactly what were those expectations?

You can't eat here...you can't use this bathroom...you can't belong to this club or organization...you can't work here...you can't walk here...you can't sit here...you can't live here...and a hundred more everyday things that you can't do...

Yep, the absolutely best circumstances anywhere, anytime for anybody.

Where do people like you come from?

I am not discounting other factors that have contributed to our national decline, but the underlying reason is that we no longer have the same electorate and a national consensus on the rightness of the vision of our Founders. We have become Balkanized along racial, ethnic, and cultural lines.

I live in WA State, where the Libertarians and the Democrats both claim that marijuana is harmless.

I doubt that. Provide an exact quotation.

they claim that marijuana is harmless, much less harmful than alcohol.

You do understand that those are two very different statements, right?

my progressive liberal textbooks. They are scared to death of the psychotic, LSD-like damage it does.

They're quite wrong about that. Marijuana is not even a hallucinogen like LSD.

Loss of morality which was derived from living in a Godly manner

Teaching them the Fairness Doctrine and socialistic ideologies in educational institutions

Desensitization / numbing down empathy and sympathy of the youth by letting the them experience everything as a voyeur rather than a participant where they would actually experience it for themselves. Done through TV, video games, YouTube videos, etc....

Polarizing one group of people against another and using them as useful idiots at the polling booths

All in all, a bad combination. But for those parents that raised their children to be respectful and moral, I hope there are enough of them to stand against the evil regimes to come that will have no mercy on them.

We got into a discussion about the Casey Anthony trial (there's a movie now). The jury, which was protected from the media, had a completely different view of the evidence than the public. Just like the OJ trial. And, also just like Obama’s election.

If voters had been presented with facts and protected from the pro-Obama media, similar to the juries, voters would have never voted for Obama. That was our conclusion, anyway.

The media makes us into emotional idiots, and I'll say it, especially women voters.

Black out of wedlock birthrate 71%; Hispanic out of wedlock birthrate 50%. And Hispanics and blacks have the highest school dropout rates. This is the social pathology for failure in this society--and creating more Dem voters.

40% of all the children born in the US are born out of wedlock.

Some of those things were going on but it wasn't the majority of the country, especially in the West. I was born in 1950 and I never saw a segregated anything. Don't believe what Hollywood tells you.

Seriously, don't believe the hate-America propaganda. Compared to damage done of minorities now days, those were much more “moral” days.

What happened is uncontrolled immigration from third-world countries, where people came here and continued to live the lifestyle they were accustomed to over there. Then, they demanded that everyone else accede to their cultures instead of acclimating to their new country's culture.

that oppression was largely a relic of the past when I came of age

Exactly. Doesn't exist any more. Hasn't for a long time. So why do we still have special skin color based laws in our society?

I was born in Utah in the 1950’s. I never even saw a black person until I was 12 years old except on television. Whatever opinion I formed was based wholly on TV.

It is sad in a way, but to tell you the truth, I really don’t believe I was prejudiced against blacks, they simply weren’t part of my reality.

America is dead and gone. The final nail in the coffin was the 2008 election of an African communist as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. America had a great run. Remember it fondly for what it was, but there’s no point hanging onto the past.

The United States of America is now little more than a land mass populated by cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.

The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and there’s no going back. America is dead.
The Democrats have won.

Nothing lasts forever (shrug) and there’s no point crying or whining about it. My recommendation to every decent human left out there is to throw some cold water in your face and proceed to ‘Plan B’. Figure out how to grab every government dime you possibly can before the parasites who comprise the Democrat party “base” gobble it all up. Look for angles. Look for refuge. Hide what you have. Get under the radar and game the system. Every man for himself.

Good luck, everybody.

By the way, some freepers may reply that I’m “quitting”, or “whining and wringing my hands”... I am neither. I will continue to fight if only to keep the scum from fully enjoying the fruits of their efforts. And I am not whining and wringing my hands - - in fact, I’m having a blast! The sooner normal, traditional Americans come to grips with the fact that the America they knew and loved and grew up in is dead and gone, the sooner they can act to hide and secure what they have and take care of their families, and screw the everyday scum who voted away the greatest nation in history. Let them flounder around miserably in their greed, stupidity, and ignorance. Refuse to join in.

Back then, all that stuff happened where Democrats were in charge.

It's reverse discrimination, plain and simple. 'Gettin' back at whitey', dont'cha know.
