Thank you, Liberals, for destroying our lives. This article is a battle cry to utterly destroy the democrat party.

What has happened is loss of community and self pride.

Replaced with massive growth, political correctness, and multiculturalism.

Anythingelse????

saving money meant that you had some money. Having money meant that you were doing well and had savings.

Nice article, but isn't this circular reasoning?

I've thought these very things. I know my kids think I'm crazy when I talk about how things have changed and how much better things used to be in so many way. Progress has been great, but it's meant we've lost so much.

We had a young couple move in next door to us. We have become aquainted. it is very sad how helpless kids are today. I call them kids because I am over 50 like the lady discribes. She has asked me if I will teach her how to cook. she is learning how to keep a house clean. I think she is sweet and I can see and hear the hope in her voice for a normal home and family. I will do what I can. But, the writer is hitting a home run on this one.

For all of us who are 50-years-old, or older, the world we lived in as children is completely gone. Nothing that exists resembles our lives, as youths, anymore.

Due to the relentless attacks on religion...ie liberal democrats in power. American's have done it to themselves...Enjoy!

Isn't some of this just generational griping? It seems like each generation talks about how easy or how lost the younger generations have it.

BULL$H1T

Through the patriot act, promoting political correctness that leaves us wide open to further attacks, and gargantuan permanent spending increases that will eventually collapse the financial viability of this country this Republican-led government has done far more damage to this country than the Clinton administration ever did.

You fools who stick your heads in the sand and keep voting based on blind partisan loyalty are just as responsible for the destruction of this country.

Not to start a feud, but irresponsible immigration policies have certainly added to the mess.

What wonderful memories, and I don't even think I'm that old (45 years). I remember providing just that for my children as late as the early eighties. Times have certainly changed or I have changed. But fond memories none the less.

Thank you

Irresponsible immigration, two income households, and shame on stay at home moms have caused a huge breakdown of American Family values.

Replaced with Single parent families, one income households, no parent at home and

of course the melting pot that has darn right turned it self into a burned up mess.
