Exactly. We need to go back to the fifties. That's the time when government leaders cared about us and were on the right track.
I’m in my mid 30s and I just wanted to first of all thank every American in this country who is a senior citizen. Thanks for making this country one of the greatest countries in the world. No matter what the far left or the neoconservatives do …. because of you people no matter what happens thousands of years from now the world will look back at a country called the United States of America ….and they will see throughout the 20th century it was the United States that saved the free world. We all remember World War II. It was the Americans, the Soviets, the British who liberated concentration camps where human beings were being exterminated. Nobody can ever take this incredible feat away from the American people and our allies.
We don’t have a middle class today. We really don’t have morals in America, we do have materialism and greed on steroids. We got a divorce rate that’s out of control, we have massive numbers of young men and young women who are single in this country. We have big problems today because of the negative aspects of social media and more drugs in our country, along with Republicans and Democrats incorrectly claiming that America has a “systemically racist” history
Folks I envy you senior citizens of America. I admire you but also have some I guess you can call it envy. The USA is a much more difficult country to have success in today compared to say the 1950s or the 1980s. It is because of the great Americans of history that we will always have hope for the future. And that’s why I stay hopeful, because of the great American history.
Perspective is what is lost here. Many of those other nations have mass deaths from endless wars periodically on their territories. We have avoided that. Most of it from location. We have many mediocre politicians because of it. And most of them promoted from elites with power. Joe is one of them. For years we have had first, second and third world nations. Joe would make many of them fourth world. We do not have the wealth at least as currency divided to e all for all people to do what they want endlessly to perpetuity.I hate to break it to you, but America is not really that special and never has been. Sure it is a great country, but there are a lot of great countries out there.
you just sound like an idiot.You sound like my grand mother whining about the country.
Don’t be such an asshole. I’d love to see the day when your kids tell you how you screwed everything up.

Looks like I'm WAY the hell up in her head. MDS.So, you cannot answer the question.
What a shock.
When did I deny the good aspects of the past? What I was doing was saying that not everything was as good as the nostalgia addicts would have us believe. It’s intellectual laziness to assume that doing or saying one thing, necessarily means something else is true. It’s a symptom of the binary good/evil thinking of the MAGA world and leads some to threaten physical violence and incidents like J6.Denying positive aspects of the past isn't exactly an accurate depiction either. While the past was not perfect, it at least made some sense. The current direction of our country makes no logical sense and is detrimental to its citizens. I always wonder why increased freedom didn't mean more people got to live like the 80's. Instead, minorities are being told success is not possible and most of what was good is being torn down for no reason.
or a conquest of war.
I hope you do not teach history.

Not pleasant in there.
Looks like you're in there, too.
Personal attack = I'm right, but Mac won't admit it.
This is one of my favorite things you do....make personal attacks for 4 pages and then whine like a 3 year old when one comes back you way!
Life is what you make of it not what a politician is doing.And this is what Democrats are fighting against when they try to tell us how wonderful everything is. The right track-wrong track measure is upwards of 70% on the WRONG track. People feel this and they know.
Crimes rates have actually gone down since the 80s. Despite your memories that was actually a peak decade.I grew up in the 80's, and while there was violence, it was nowhere near the level it is today. I think crime has steadily gotten worse each decade. There is an obvious societal decay.
If you can name another free nation not founded on a monarchy, a conquest

How do you think we got most of our land, did those living on it just give it us freely and happily?
