I was in high school during the 1960’s. I wouldn't say that my classmates and I did accept this crap. However, the courts did impose much of it. Being respectful of the laws, we did not revolt, but never fully agreed.

So for the last 45 to 50 years, we have been forced to accept rules/laws that we are not in agreement with. We are still a center right country, and the majority is sick and tired of living according to the rules set by the minority.

Lack of jobs and the poor economy got this revolt going, but intensity is increased because of the culture wars. When congress passed health care, that was adding insult to injury.

Americans hated the HMO’s that substituted their review panels for the judgment of their own doctors. They see no reason to accept government bureaucrats mucking up the doctor/patient relationship.

I agree that the liberals won the culture wars in court, but they have not yet won them in the hearts and minds of the majority of US citizens. We just need to be as relentless as they have been, and roll back their agenda.

It has taken them more than half a century to get where they are. Maybe it will take that long to roll it back. I hope not. I hope it takes less time.

Taking back control of the congress is just the first step. We need to push back in government at all levels; education, news services, churches, and entertainment outlets must all be involved.

When no one would be caught dead in an abortion clinic due to cultural mores, then Roe v Wade ceases to be important, because no one will choose it. At that point, a constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion should be an easy thing to do.

I agree with that

The education system has been intentionally dumbed down. The assault on our culture and values has eroded love of country.

Look who's teaching the teachers:

  Education

Public schools are deeply entrenched with a socialist, progressive ideology.

Good post. I have wondered why the Left always gets to make the rules. Where, oh, where is this terrible “oppressive” Right Wing? Where are the oppressive laws? Its always the Left that screws it up for the majority to benefit some make believe minority...
