What happened to our country?

Easy..

The propagation of the humanist/materialist/socialist agenda by the government school collectives, the Marxist saturated university system, and the communist infested entertainment business.

People stopped being responsible for themsevlves and their families. Adults think that its someone else’s job to take care of them.

Spot on.

And the damage is permanent. You want a metaphor for America then versus now? Look at NASA in 1965 versus NASA today.

We turned our backs on the God of the Bible and kicked Him out of schools. Then we legalized and encouraged the murder of Gods children in mothers womb.

Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an’ find Jesus on your own.

- John Prine, “Spanish Pipedream”

Black people who had been freed a century before were still not treated equally in most parts of the country.

No one is treated equally...folks need to get over that. You need to fight for what you get and not sit around expecting certain kinds of treatment.

Many women were limited in their businesses, political, and professional opportunities.

Then start your own d@mn business, build your own political base (like Maggie Thatcher), start your own d@mn law firm.

Long story, short...quit your beatching and get to work!

As a nation, since 1973, we have butchered millions of innocent, defenseless children to the god of convenience - and we have the gall to wonder what is happening now?

God has said, “Enough!” and He is judging this country.

Nobama is part of that judgment.

It is only going to get worse, because we are too proud and too busy to repent and return to Him.

Madison Avenue, Democrats (all of them), Hollywood, Rap Music, Abercrombie and Fitch et al, the public school system.

Yes, I do miss America. It becomes tiring every morning checking the news stories, and reading of things like grade-school kids being suspended for using their fingers as guns, or taxpayers being forced to pay for sex-change operations for murderers in prison. Things that are just so wildly demented, no one in their right mind could have conceived of them a few short decades ago.

Plus, it would be nice to once again be able to turn on the television some evening, and within minutes not be revulsed to the point of wanting to vomit, by something I encounter.

I seriously doubt that a black person would be treated unfairly “in the world of Donna Reed”.

Seriously, the 50’s middle class Western Culture society would be the absolute best circumstances for anyone of any skin color to live in.

The deal would be, though, that you’d have to behave within the expectations of that culture in order to thrive.

The problem is the news media.The news media is liberals/democrats/socialists . The news media create the false reality we live in . but the news media is the democrat party so the problem is the democrat party.

Less than a 100 die in mass shootings , millions die of other things, 300,000 women get raped, 2.5 million home invasions per year in America but all we hear about is about 1 event that stupid shooting which the mass shooter did to become the media’s darling , a world famous household name

The news media want to take away our guns so then the government has a monopoly on guns and so absolute power.

but the news media is the democrat party so the problem is the democrat party.

"God has said, “Enough!” and He is judging this country. Nobama is part of that judgment."

Absolutely right. God has inflicted Obama on America for the same reason he inflicted King Nebuchadnezzar on Israel.

everything can be chalked up to an act on our country by progressives since the 50s/60s

"You axing me to act like Whitey?"

Seriously though, as my grandmother used to say, "if you don't want to be disappointed, quit expecting others to live up to your expectations. You focus on being the best you can be and leave others to their own devices."

Or as I interpret that, "quit your beatching and get to work."

What happened to our country?

Simple answer. We are no longer the same country demographically or culturally.

The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

The nation’s immigrant population (legal and illegal) reached 40 million in 2010, the highest number in our history. The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million. Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration. Roughly three-fourths of immigrants in the country are here legally. With nearly 12 million immigrants, Mexico was by far the top immigrant-sending country, accounting for 29 percent of all immigrants and 29 percent of growth in the immigrant population from 2000 to 2010. The median age of immigrants in 2010 was 41.4 compared to 35.9 for natives.

87 percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants entering annually are minorities as defined by the U.S. Government and almost all of the illegal aliens are minorities. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under in the U.S. will be classified as minorities and by 2042, half of the residents of this country will be minorities. Generally, immigrants and minorities vote predominantly for the Democrat Party. Hence, Democrats view immigration as a never-ending source of voters that will make them the permanent majority party.

Since the 1965 Immigration Act, our pro-population growth immigration policies have fueled major demographic changes in a very short period of time. In 1970, non-Hispanic whites comprised 89 percent of the population; today they are 66 percent; and by 2042, they will be 50 percent. The Democrats, under the banner of multiculturalism and diversity, have forged a political coalition that depends on individuals coalescing around racial and ethnic identities rather than the issues. The continuing and increasing flow of minority immigrants, mostly poor and uneducated, provides a natural constituency for the Democrats, which see them as their principal source of political power.

The 2012 election marked a tipping point. Although whites voted 59% to 39% for Romney, it was not enough to counterbalance the minority vote with blacks voting 93% for the Dems; Hispanics 71%, and Asians 73%. Demography is destiny.

You are absolutely positively spot on! I have been sharing this with anyone that will listen (a tough task here in pagan New England, known as the 'least religious region of the country'...)
