SUNDAYS TWO-CENTS WORTH: #34:

On April 10th, I posted a comment over at “Jen’s Journey as a Conservative Chic”, in which I stated the following:

“Jen; Like most bloggers, I do not ban anyone simply because they disagree with something I have posted. I will, however, delete and ban anyone who leaves a scathing comment but will not give their name, and I will ban trolls after a period of time.

Now, sometimes I will make statements concerning liberals, but I may not have stats or other evidence to prove my point, but I am going by what I have personally observed over my life time, and believe me, at 63 years of age, I have observed a lot. Compared to me, you are just a teeny bopper, but I can honestly say that I have watched America decline in so many areas thanks to many of the things that liberals have forced on this nation. If I had the time, I could list a heck of a lot of areas where we have declined and what liberal programs and ideas led to the decline, but to so would take a heck of a long time, so suffice it to say, this isn't your grandfather's America any more.

There are times when I will just get fed up with some commentators when they display utter stupidity and lack of basic knowledge in their comments. I hate to get into a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

But a healthy debate is good as long as the one with whom you are debating is either on or slightly above your intellectual level. So I say bring it on.”

Later, an individual named Thomas (from “The Infidel Express”) made the following comment in regard to my comment:

“I call that a "get off muh lawn" post... devoid of any substantial thought beyond "this is what I've seen in my XX years".

By virtually any measure, life in the United States is vastly better than at any point in the past. A lot of people that lived through the 50's have a nostalgic view of that period, but the human mind has a tendency to hold on to the good memories, and discard the past. That's simply a coping mechanism.

I'm not even saying that there is some Vast Left Wing Conspiracy that is guiding this improvement in our culture. I'm just saying that by whatever means, it is vastly better.”

I will answer Thomas here on my own blog.

Thomas, how are we so much better off, because we have more toys and gadgets? Or is it because everyone is in debt up to their butts? Maybe it is because every one, from married adults to ten, eleven year-olds are free to bed hop from one partner to another?

No my friend, it is not out of nostalgia on which I state that America has gone down hill, I base it on reality, on what actually was, back when people lived in reality and not some drug induced fantasy land fortified by the inane crap on the boob tube.

Back in the 1950’s when I was growing up; children were brought up to respect their parents and all of their elders, especially those in positions of authority, i.e., teachers, police, etc. Back then, children were not disrespectful in school and if they did act up, they would be sent to the principle and more than likely get a butt paddling and when you got home, your parents would open up a can of whup ass on you also, for getting into trouble in school.

When I was growing up, kids didn’t kill each other in our schools, nor were they having sex in school bathrooms, stairwells or in the bushes. Back then, when kids had their friends over, their bedroom was off limits. We had to entertain our friends in the living room or the rec room, and our parents checked on us often.

Back in the 1950’s and 60’s, the schools didn’t teach us about sex, that is what our parents did, and teen pregnancies and STD’s weren’t nearly the problem they are today. With the institution of sex education into our public schools, teenage pregnancies and STD’s have risen dramatically. We were lied to by the liberals all the way back then. When the liberals wanted to have abortion legalized, we were promised that it would only be in the first trimester of the pregnancy and only if the life of the mother was in danger. When those on the right argued that if abortion was legalized the liberals would demand abortion on demand. We were called liars and fear mongers. So what happened, the liberals got their way and proved us right. They have gone so far as to perform partial birth abortions. From that point on, America began to lose respect for life.

When the liberals wanted to institute sex education in the public schools, they promised the conservatives that if any parent didn’t want their kids to take it, all they had to do was write a letter to the principle of their child’s school and their child would be given an alternative class for that period, but in less then two years, the schools made sex education mandatory and if a student didn’t take the course they could not graduate. The parents rights were taken away and what they wanted for their children didn’t matter. So what was the direct result of that? More kids today know more about getting laid then they do about the history of the United States. They are better at giving head then they are at speaking proper English or spelling.

When the liberals fought for gay rights, they said that it was so that gays wouldn’t face discrimination in the work place or in housing. The conservatives fought back saying that just like everything else, we would be entering on a slippery slope, because the gays would demand even more, leading to same-sex marriages. Again, we called liars, fear mongers and homophobes, but who really turned out to be the liars? Today, decent people are being forced to accept a vile, filthy and unnatural life-style that is being crammed down our throats in our schools, on TV, in movies and by the news media, and if we dare speak out against it, we could have our free speech rights trampled on by being accused of hate speech.

Fifty to sixty years ago, the United States was number one in education. Today our education system stinks to high heaven and we are far from being number one. Students are beating the hell out of their teachers or each other, so that they can post these vicious acts on the internet for all to see. Teachers, both male and female, are rapping our children. Students are bringing guns to school and blowing each other away, while liberal teachers and college professors’ brain wash our children into accepting homosexuality and every other kind of perversion as some kind of lofty life-style.

Fifty to sixty years ago, the United States was number one in agriculture. We were called the breadbasket of the world. What have we got today? One farmer after another losing their farms and we are importing more then we are producing and most of the food we import has to be recalled because of contamination. We didn’t have that when I was growing up, fresh fruits and vegetables were safe to eat and when you bit into ripe peach or plum, they soft and juicy. Today, you buy what looks like a ripe fruit and it looks ripe on the outside, but the inside is rock hard and a brownish color. The only time today that I am able to get honest to goodness fresh fruits and vegetables and not having to worry if they are contaminated with ecoli, is when I go to a local farmer’s market.

Fifty to sixty years ago, the United States was number one in manufacturing. We had great companies, such as Kodak, Xerox, Ritter Phuadler Dental Equipment Company, R.F. Communications that manufactured Two-way radios for police, fire, ambulance, taxi companies, etc. In the city where I grew up, we had seventeen clothing manufacturers, a button manufacturing company, thirty Tool and Die companies, sixteen printing companies. We had a company that manufactured office furniture, a company that manufactured envelopes; we had the Fasco Fan Company, several book binders, etc. Today, this city is a shadow of its former self. All across the United States we have and are continuing to lose our best manufacturing jobs, thanks to globalism and free trade. Free Trade now means that we export our jobs to foreign countries and what we import is s%#t that is contaminated or has to be re-called because it is dangerous to our children, our pets and to ourselves. And for what? Just so that CEO’s and stock holders can make a profit, while the real backbone of America, the American worker, loses their jobs and gets kicked in the ass by the very people we elect to represent us and run our country.

Today, our country is being overrun by illegal immigrants, because the liberals want open borders for all, and what is the result of that? They are rapping our wives, our sisters, our mothers and our daughters. They are killing our police and border agents. They are driving around illegally and many times drunk, killing our children on our streets. They are placing a heavy tax burden on our citizens who have to pay for the free medical and dental care, the free education, the food stamps and the low-income housing that the liberals and our government tells us the illegals are “entitled to”, and to pay the incarceration costs to keep their sorry asses in jail, if and when they are caught. While we are losing our good paying jobs to third world countries, thanks to free trade, we are losing whatever low paying jobs we have left to illegal immigrants.

Today, we have a country whose morals are so far down the crapper that it just isn’t funny any more. We have a society that is so disrespectful and impolite and it shows in the work place, our schools and even our halls of congress. We have people elected to various high State and Federal offices who lie, cheat and steal. We have homosexual pedophiles, alcoholics who drive their cars into ponds and leave the young woman they were cheating on their wives with, in the car to drown while they swim to shore, went home to bed, and then didn’t even report the accident until the next day and he got off scott free, and this is what gets elected to run this country. The liberals even elected a man who couldn’t keep his pants up to be president. We have a country where people are so hedonistic, caring only for themselves and their bodily pleasures and how they look; make it longer, make it harder, pump the silicon so my boobs are bigger. My butt isn’t big enough so I have low self-esteem. Then, as if this isn’t bad enough, nobody has to take responsibility for any thing they do, it is always someone else’s fault. Tell me Thomas, where am I lacking in substantial thought? Exactly what has America got today that makes every thing so much better then it was 50 or 60 years ago, besides all of the technological gadgets? Or, is it the freedom to be as deranged, immoral and decadent as you wish. If this is so much better then my America of fifty years ago, you are welcome to it, but don’t be surprised if a revolution or a civil war breaks out when the conservatives have finally had enough of your liberal garbage.
