Why is this any surprise with the maniac liberal country we now live in? Talk to your grand parents to see how great we were back in their day - none of this current stupidity.
The past few years I've been reading a lot of bios about my heroes from the '50s-'70s. Over & over I notice every day things we took for granted back then that would get the SWAT team called on you now. The frog is boiled. It's like the Berlin Wall fell and East Germany came here.
I would quibble with one thing you said. It's not just the liberals who caused this. The statist Republicans hate liberty every bit as much.
