Interesting date to pick. Why?
The Great Society legislation, brought to us by Lyndon Johnson (the Son Of Satan) and Patrick Daniel Moynihan, the original Guilty White Liberal from New York who felt that the 25% out-of-wedlock birth rate in the black community at the time was unacceptable. What they brought in replaced Daddy with a welfare check and doomed entire generations of black people to perpetual dependence on government to "do" for them. Think about the people in the Superdome after Katrina and Rachel Jeantel.
And why is Lyndon Johnson the Son Of Satan? The Great Society Legislation (find his quote about "those N-words are going to vote Democrat for 100 years now"), and the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Nobody died as a result of Watergate, but that was an enormous scandal. Gulf of Tonkin, just another day in Democrat politics as practiced by Lyndon Johnson.
I date the beginning of the decline of American civilization to 1965 for a "perfect storm" of reasons:
* The Baby Boom ended in 1964. Then Americans stopped having babies. An "era of bad feelings" began to set in.
* The civil rights movement ceased being a righteous cause after 1964.
* The Gulf of Tonkin resolution came in 1965 and the start of the Vietnam War.
* The Great Society began in 1965.
* Mainline churches started to decline in 1965.
* The sexual revolution was starting to take off.
* The drug culture was starting to take off.
* The end of clean, wholesome popular movies.
* There began to take hold a distrust of traditional authorities all across the board, on all levels of society.
There you have it, it all started in 1965 because I did it, and would do it again!
