I blame women's lib. Women's lib led to:
* The largest single erosion in individual earning power and the greatest ever incremental increase in labor and knowledge worker availability ever in history. And of course, the lesson was not lost on employers.
* Male irresponsibility. If I am not tasked with being a breadwinner and the master of the house, then that means I no longer need to be responsible. In fact, why do I even need to be a husband, let alone a dad?
* The feminization of decision processes. Pacifism, globalism, diversity mania, and numerous other ills are definitely bolstered by the introduction of the points of view of women, and ardent feminazis in particular, into both the private sector and public halls of power and board rooms.
* Etc

I have to say that is a part of all of this. I think for years, we have seen how the Black family has been dismembered through the easy access to welfare without any accountibility. I know back in the days of the slaves, many Black families were torn up as slaves were sold although the Black family was back in force after emancipation you had it go awry with easy welfare. Note, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying welfare is a Black problem, it is a problem for everyone, there are a lot more Whites than Blacks on welfare but when you take the groups by themselves, generally a higher percentage of Blacks on on it than Whites. So basically, you have the government replace the role the father of the family and that's where the problems started. In a way, wht has happened to the Black family is sort of the prototype of what was to come, i.e., what we are seeing today. I see this in families of all demographic types.

I do see the need for a welfare system but it should be a "hand up" not a "hand out" to where it ought to be a way to "teach a man how to fish" instead of "giving him a fish." unless the person cannot work for some bona-fide (not BS) reason.

This is not feminism per se, but I think out greed in getting the most and best "toys," largest houses and so on is a part of this. Many go into debt and where if they did not have that urge "to keep up with the Joneses," it would be possible for the wife to stay at home and raise the kids.

This does what you and many have said. We men are hardwired to be the providers and fathers/husbands in the family, we take pride and purpose in that, if you take that away, it is like shooting a rudder off of a boat, we will drift shiftlessly and aimlessly in a vast ocean and start acting in a socially rude or irresponsible way. Again, I see it a lot in Black, White, and other people and families.

We do need to get back to God and asking Him for His guidance as a nation, but there are times I wonder if He is in the process of foresaking us, or at least taking His hand of protection away until we wise up. To anyone reading this, please don't take it the wrong way, but I remember Osama Bin Laden talking about America being a "weak horse" soon after 9-11, in many ways, he is being proven correct when you think about all of this PC crap eroding our morals and willpower. I want to prove him and many others like him wrong so we must get our act together. Sure we seem to be doing well in places like Iraq and Afghanistan because we still have many good people left in the country fighting admirably in our Armed Forces and I salute them, but there will be a time when this PC crap will catch up to us and hurt us very much. That's what I'm trying to say. Political correctness will kill us eventually.

But overall, "it is all part of the big plan." (sorry to bum your saying but I'm pinging you, buddy (RCA2000))
