“Why has the American society changed so drastically in the past few decades?”

It’s not rocket science to figure it out.

You have commies educating your kids because you don’t attend school board meetings.

You have sky-high property taxes because you don’t show up at county board meetings.

You have gestapo cops breaking down doors because you didn’t elect a constitutional sheriff who believes in the 2nd amendment to protect your property.

You’re more interested in remodeling the kitchen, worshipping Mammon and barbecuing burgers.

The Founders warned you that keeping your freedom required vigilance. You failed, and now you stand to lose all you worked and saved for, including your children. I don’t think it’s too late to turn it around, but time is getting short.

I think that Abe would agree and many of us believe that the crisis he spoke of is at hand and yes we are going "to turn it around."

Abe will explain from "the other side."

If you could first know where you are and whither you are tending, you could better judge what to do and how to do it. You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
The question today is either the opponents of statism will arrest the further spread of it and place it on course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become permanent.
Have you no tendency to the latter condition?
Let anyone who doubts carefully contemplate that now almost complete legal combination — piece of machinery, so to speak — compounded of the Republican Party hands-across-the-aisle doctrine and the dreadful actions among statism's chief architects.

YEP. As well as who is next in line for the Super Bowl, The World Series, the Stanley Cup, the Rose Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Masters Tournament, the Kentucky Derby, the Big East Championship, The Big 12, The Big 10 ...

Since I was young, I watched my Dad ignore my mom for HOURS at a time to make sure he tuned into The Big Game. Then he sat there, drank his beers and didn’t lift a finger ...for hours.

Now it’s all about the big tailgate, the big party at your house, getting that flat screen so you can invite everyone over for wings. It’s fun, don’t get me wrong, and people need reasons to socialize ...but it lulls us into complacency and sucks up HOURS of time. I can’t get over how much people just natter on on Facebook about sports ...it’s ALL they talk about. It has replaced Church in our society. It IS what we worship. Guys from my high school years ...have turned into sports ZOMBIES.

And THEN it’s time to remodel ....ooooohhhh, so we can brag about that big deck we just put on.

And it’s convenient, because it gets us, particularly MEN, out of doing what is truly required of them to keep a free country. This sports fanaticism — I think it’s been going on now for a very long time — about 40 years or so.

Just ‘saying.
