hippies ruined this country. I’m young and had to suffer thru years of hippie high school teachers and hippie college professors. If I could push a button and get rid of all the hippies going back to the beginning of their movement i’d do it - and America would be a lot better off.
Obviously Rogie has never heard of Cloward-Piven or Saul Alinsky..
Pity... Could be he didnt want to know.. Planned orchestrated ignorance..
Only one way to be that sheltered and protected from reality..
He is lying... He did know.. and is playing a mental game..
Unless he is stupid..
A couple of things: Dallas, 1963; The attempt on Reagan’s life; 9/11 convincing us that Islam needs to be taken seriously.
It’s more complex than that, but the days where President Adams can walk down the street from the White house to a sandwich shop with a friend and nobody else are long gone.
Hippies were merely the offspring of the beatniks.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.
And to quote from multiple places in Ecclesiastes: “There is nothing new under the sun.”
So true.
It can be summed up in a word: Immigration. The massive immigration, legal and illegal, from third world countries is what did it. Now we have “cultures” we have to put up with and can’t offend, and we have to be “tolerant” of immigrants who come here just for money and refuse to assimilate to our ways. I truly think this is the main reason, though not the only reason, our country has changed so horribly.
Ironically, those people who did not mature, but held to what they thought it meant to be a hippie are now devoted to the government and work incessantly to deny personal freedom and limit the rights of the individual. The worst and most fervent of the aging leftists are people who never had the free spirit or participated in the demonstrations but always wanted to. Now, they are living what they think was the lifestyle of the free culture.
Current White House occupant is a third-world man.
And thus he is exhibiting third-world paranoia.
The MEDIA and ACADEMIA was infiltrated by communists.
That’s what happened. Everything else followed.
Rush and Hannity and Levin are helping us wage a battle against it, but we have only scratched the surface of their treachery so far- since we can’t even TALK about Obama being a Kenyan Muslim Traitor.
“Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.” —— is the way I remember that line.
I posted by accident as I was going to preview. --- I meant to add that a great example of the overzealous wannabes is Barack Obama who never participated ina civil rights march or demonstration, but read about them and always seeks the fulfillment he hopes to find
Lets keep it simple. America is finished and within a few years will be a dictatorship. We do not have the people who understand what has happened and all of the Federal Government is corrupt. That included both parties. We have NO power to stop it.
What happened?
We walked away from God.
We disconnected fathers from their wives and children.
No God, no dad, no future.
“...expansion of the moral code...”?
You mean destruction, right?
“start voting for the person, not the party,”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Sounds good but unfortunately there are no longer ANY persons in the Democrat party worth voting for and VERY DAMNED FEW in the GOP. So where do we find these persons to vote for?
What happened? Lots. Just to name a few:
1) Loss of religious faith
2) Communist influence on every aspect of life
3) Fatherless, entitlement-minded minorities
4) Immigrants that refuse to “melt” into the pot
I’d agree that the two biggest factors were the Pill and the Vietnam war, but there were problems before that — such as socialist thought at toxic levels in academia and journalism.
