I felt that the America that I grew up in was a good place. It started slipping after WWII, and it was getting very apparent with the War in Vietnam. That is when the world became aware that we were no longer the good guys.
You grew up BEFORE WWII?
I grew up in the 60's and learned quickly that the left are not good guys. The left wants a totalitarian system, turning the nation into one big prison camp.
You HAVE damaged this nation, deeply. I've been to Western Europe, Canada, and Mexico. Of the places I have been, the USA is vastly better. Alright, it's a bit better than Canada, quite a bit better than England, massively better than France, and Astoundingly better than Italy and Mexico.
You are not the good guys, that is for sure. You of the left are the agents of destruction of this once great nation.
