Yesterday, in Comments, we talked about what turned America around for the worst. Kid wrote this amazing list and I wondered if you could add to it, BUT, my REAL POINT is, I told him, in a comment responding to his, that I wished HE could write the ‘details’ he mentions at the end, write them the way he’d like to see America tomorrow………So please, add anything pivotal that you think changed our country for the worst and then write how you’d like Trump to change things into ‘your more desirable America’!
Kid says:
1963 was the turning point. When they killed JFK and LBJ was in. From my view being 11 in 63, things were great up to 68 when the Vietnam war really got rolling.
LBJ moves social security form the lockbox to the general fund, steals it all and creates modern day slavery in welfare/wic
Then major events were
– the draft and college riots, 4 dead in Ohio, drugs brought in by the feds to calm the restless natives
– women’s lib movement to begin the breakup of the family unit
– jimmy carter comes along and hijacks public education
– demoralization in all areas from art to music to sex morals
– things percolated through the 80s and 90’s with education being silently shifted to communist indoctrination
– 2000 came along with GW Bush and the media went complete military leftist
– 9/11/2001 and America would never be the same, patriotic act, TSA and the 5 ton thumb on the necks of every American in the name of security that never arrived and still hasn’t
– GWBush starts an absurd war with the talibanin Afghanistan that will never have a definable end, then breaks open the middle east like a pinata full of scorpians which in hindsight has done more harm than good
– We should have nuked mecca and medina as soon as it was verifiable jihadists perpetrated 9-11 and told the world what if any of the vermin try something like that again we will see to it their people and culture will cease to exist.
– from there, PC, militant PC, nonexistent concepts like islamaphobia
– massive invasion by migrants, legal and illegal and demonization of anyone who objected and none of the objectors were in government. Those clowns were all too happy and comfortable doing their money feeding frenzy while serving the corporate and other masters
– massive subversion and invasion of our federal infrastructure from IRS to FBI, to CIA, to NSA, to DOJ. Big moves during bubba clinton’s time
– Nafta, free trade with China, floodgates opened from China, and 90% of all products in the US from China, massive US $$$ heading out never to be seen again.
Lots of peripherals of course and I may have missed a major event here or there.
At this point the country is like a shivering baby afraid to offend a pervert breaking into a girls room stall on the excuse that he feels like a girl.
DJ Trump and family come along and commit themselves to re-inventing an exceptional, non-apologetic, capitalist America. Is it too late? Details still being written.
HAVE AT IT, FRIENDS! Great job, Kid..

I’ve written so many rants, snarks, parodies, critiques, and condemnations of people and ideas who have worked diligently, if mindlessly, to destroy this New World Experiment of ours that I just KNOW that anything I write would be self-plagiarism.
So . . . to avoid my characteristic verbosity, lemme just leave it at this:
1. The Constitution does NOT need to be re-written; it needs to be re-READ
2. We need to get the entrenched liberals out of D.C.; the anti-Trump bias out of TV;
and the government out of our privacy.
3. The Feds’ job is to be the referee, not the quarterback.

I agree with Kid, that it all began in the Sixties. That’s when capitalism changed into “cultural capitalism”. The Feds stopped enforcing the rules (that businesses were created for PROFIT, not doing social good). That mistake is what allowed the Left to take over the MSM, as the news reflects prevailing views of the cultural elite and advertsiers, not the schmucks who buy newspapers or watch “free” (the hidden cost of free) TV.

No, everyone pretty much summed it up. All the above recaps what led to our failing history. Allowing illegals into our society to ensure retaining political power by the left also allowed the constant flow of illegal drugs and the horrific damage and cost it created to our society. Our education system has failed us. A hundred years ago, 8th grade students could answer basic question in history, government, math, spelling, reading……well, in just about everything……better than most college grads today. And we now allow them to vote! The 8th graders back then were probably better informed and qualified to vote than most college grads today. So where are we heading? Can it be reversed? Yes, it could, but are we willing to make the sacrifices necessary to accomplish it? First, balancing the budget, then gradually paying down our insanely ridiculous debt, saying “no” to other countries request for “financial aid”, ridding our schools of left-wing teachers, and a resurgence of patriotism nationwide. That would be a good start.
Good luck with doing all that.

Abortion added the fuel.. life even cheaper… our churches began to empty out, thanks for Kennedy our immigration laws became mute. But of course Johnson and his Great Society was the lynch pin
Having just watched hours of Netflix on the Roman Empire we did have a blueprint to how this was going to go. Our outcome should not be surprised. We are going the way of all great Nations.
What is a surprise is that is happened so quickly in one generation. From the beginning of our great Nation everyone sacrificed for their kids. No longer. From the Greatest Generation to Generation alphabet.

“The president is exploring the mechanisms to remove security clearance because they politicize and in some cases monetize their public service and security clearances,” Sanders told reporters at Monday’s press briefing.
That what she said on July 18th….Brennan made recent comments that finally ticked ol’ Trump off enough. Brennan is SCUM. Great if Sarah could tell press corps “Brennan is SCUM, why wouldn’t we make sure he stops getting rich on our security?” HA!
