Yes it has and we can thank the commie libs in Washington and Hollywood for that. I mean come on! A man “marrying” another man? Loony Toons murdering kindergartners? The country is 16 trillion dollars in debt? Free Obama foams? What’s up with that?

Has life in America gone insane?

This utopia was not intended to benefit everybody.

America knew how to handle these problems, until the Social Experimenters and social manipulators, busybodies, and fainthearts took over.

A nation rests on the quality of its homes. When common sense, decency and God were eliminated from child rearing, this country began its death spiral.

Forty years of deconstructing the system of internalizing controls through social taboos has produced thousands of disturbed and grossly maladaptive people with no sense of boundaries and controls. These types have always been around but now they exist in a society that teaches situational ethics, essentially nihilism. These almost weekly atrocities are the products of secular humanist teaching and a society that holds there are no absolutes except white racist guilt.
Americans had lots of guns for many years before the current epidemic of workplace and public shootings. Libs don’t like that fact brought out.

No rise in mass killings, but their impact is huge

Grant Duwe, a criminologist with the Minnesota Department of Corrections who has written a history of mass murders in America, said that while mass shootings rose between the 1960s and the 1990s, they actually dropped in the 2000s. And mass killings actually reached their peak in 1929, according to his data. He estimates that there were 32 in the 1980s, 42 in the 1990s and 26 in the first decade of the century.

Chances of being killed in a mass shooting, he says, are probably no greater than being struck by lightning.

Marxist president, fag marriages, monetized debt, deviant pop-culture, a dead GOP, dope legalization, psycho mass-murdering kindergarteners...

Yep, insane. Looks like a country on its last legs.

"Has life in American gone insane?"

Well, there is this very curious election of an unknown Kenyan Marxist, not once but twice, the second time against all reason. But if you do not believe fraud was at play to throw the election, then yes, America has gone insane.

Of course it’s insane. Most Americans decided they no longer want/need God. And this is the result. We are no longer blessed as a nation.

I don’t know if the whole country has gone insane, but there has definitely been an increase in schizophrenia and psychotic episodes, brought on by drug use. I don’t believe that this latest shooting was necessarily drug induced, though. The Drudge picture of the guy makes him look like he had Graves disease, which can include mental instability.

Well, 0bama did use his middle finger to wipe away his ‘tear.’

Ya gotta love it when the president of a country flips off the citizens of said country.

Is that classy or what. How about that.

It is a big help to look at the “big picture”.

America has about 313 million people. The vast majority of these people lead ordinary lives, even though, according to the Standard Distribution Curve, half of them have “below average” mental health.

Of the total, about 5%, again according to the SDC, are completely insane. Many are institutionalized in prisons and other institutions. Many have yet to be diagnosed as insane.

But one thing is for certain, the tiny minority that make the news get an enormous amount of news about them. And this creates the illusion that there is a lot of this going on.

There isn’t. And this is reassuring.

Does this killing in CT really matter to the vast majority of other Americans? Not really, unless politicians decide to exploit it for their own agendas.

In 1993, Dr. William Bennett published his Index of Leading Cultural Indicators - a compilation of how the moral, social and behavioral conditions of modern American society had changed since 1963 (when America began to push God out of schools and society). At the time, the following were noted:

- Violent crime had increased over 500 percent.
- Illegitimate births had increased 400 percent.
- Divorces had increased 400 percent.
- Children living in single-parent homes had increased 300 percent.
- Child abuse had increased 340 percent since 1976.
- Teenage suicide had increased 200 percent.
- S.A.T. scores had dropped almost 80 points.

It would be appalling to see how much further we have slid down the slippery slope today.

I blame liberals and conservatives - liberals for pushing their ideology on America, conservatives for letting them.

CBS, I believe, is reporting that Lanza started college when he was 16. The Unabomber also started college when he was 16. Bright young men, and their families, think that because they have the knowledge to start college young, they also have the emotional maturity to attend college. Might not be true.

Those who study mass shootings say they are not becoming more common.

“There is no pattern, there is no increase,” says criminologist James Allen Fox of Boston’s Northeastern University, who has been studying the subject since the 1980s, spurred by a rash of mass shootings in post offices.

The random mass shootings that get the most media attention are the rarest, Fox says. Most people who die of bullet wounds knew the identity of their killer.

It’s always been insane, it’s just that now we hear about it 24/7 on the news channels and Intranet.
