Poll: Support for Traditional American Values, Patriotism Declines
Breitbart ^ | 03/27/2023 | Katherine Hamilton

Posted on 03/27/2023 4:54:17 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The percentage of Americans who say patriotism, religious faith, family, and other traditional American values are “very important” is on the decline, a Wall Street Journal-NORC poll found.

Support for every traditional American value included in the poll has receded since 1998 besides “money,” which has grown in importance. The data also shows young people and Democrats tend not to highly rank traditional American values as much as older adults and Republicans.

We need to have God and prayer back in our schools.

I don’t need a poll to tell me this. Just look around. This nation has not only turned its back on God, we are now shaking our fist at Him, and we are justly beginning to reap the judgement of the Almighty. This is only the beginning.

They believe in growth (growing weed)

Weed is the problem. And the nasty naysayers will pounce on their love being criticized.

The purpose of all these downer articles, studies & surveys is to demoralize us. I don’t believe them at all.

It's both demographics and education.

Today's immigrants are less likely to assimilate and "become Americans." Instead, they arrive and say, "Hey racists, give me my free stuff."

And education does corrupt the youth. Some become liberals and hate America. Some become conservatives and hate modern America.

I can't say I feel too patriotic about modern America. I was a patriot in my youth. But today, not so much.

Well from my own anecdotal evidence I would have to agree its a big part of the issue.

I have known people who can responsibly use cannabis and those who cannot use alcohol in kind, but I have also found that the vast majority of cannabis users can't while the reverse is true for alcohol.

And I don't see how cannabis can be smoked regularly without increasing one's risk to getting lung cancer, yeah alcohol is also a carcinogen, but even the CDC admits it is safe when used in moderation.

Funny though how the CDC rightly points out how dangerous tobacco smoking is while overlooking the same carcinogens are inhaled when smoking cannabis.

Weed leads to a lot of schizo-breakdowns, it’s extremely common. The users and pushers don’t admit it, but it’s basically a big part of the USA’s problem now. I mean 99% of it.

Ban it, go to Singapore style enforcement and shit would be so much better in this country.

This is what happens when a nation embraces mental illness & Satanism.

Our problems are right here, not abroad.

I get about in a medium sized city & see it every day. It’s happening, whether you want to believe it or not.

I think some discipline is needed even moreso. Today those kids had morning prayers and theology of religion class and three kids were shot and killed. Prayers definitely didn’t help there.
