also on that date... CS Lewis died, Aldous Huxley died, Doctor Who launched!
I remember that spirit of hate schtick well. The Left has been hitting that note for all of my life. I was well familiar with it by the time I graduated High School in ‘76.
One might say that the turning point was the outcome of the stolen 1960 election.
It really happen when we took God out of the schools and public arena. If you remember . We took prayer out of the public schools and we had court cases that preceding the Cuban crisis. That spring of 1962 we had a judgement limiting prayers. I found it no strange coincide to us almost blowing up the world . When Kennedy broadcast it everyone around the world prayed like “no tomorrow.” That is what saved us not just his administration thinking. Then a funny thing happen the following spring in court more limitation on God in the public square then that falI his assissnation. When you include less prayers . Less intercessory prayers I believed caused the horrors of the 1960’s. Well when you tell God to take a hike. We are lead to our own devices without God. Remember the asinine God is dead movement started around then too. Major upheavals in that decade .
