All downhill after this

Secular liberalism with its government welfare schemes fills in vacuums left by the collapse of Christian practice. It is also a poor stand-in for it.
The answer here isn’t the politician. It’s the evangelist.
IMHO....the two things that came along in the 60’s, causing irreversible harm to the family unit were
1. the birth control pill....suddenly women did not have to think twice about consequences of their decision-making
2. the dishwasher....for those of you that remember family life before the dishwasher, you may agree that the evening ritual of washing dishes was the time when family bonding occurred.....along came the dishwasher and poof! no more need to hang around after eating dinner.
1. JFK
2. Hippies & drugs
3. LBJ
4. Hippies & drugs
5. Nixon
6. Hippies & drugs
I think it’s easy enough to blame labor savers, when that shouldn’t have made an iota of difference to whether, just to how, the family time was spent.
I did stupid things in the late 60s early 70s. I should hate them. But it was a learning experience I lived through. And I don’t hate the times then.
My favorite things about the late 60s. Apollo 8 circled the moon and the crew read from the bible. Apollo 11 landed on the moon. I experienced the Woodstock music and arts festival in White Lake NY.
“…what does not kill me makes me stronger.” Nietzsche
Anti-defense hippies smell bad and carry social diseases.
60’s destroyed this nation.
Drugs and leftism and anti-Christianity.
Nietsche’s not really someone of which to think positively.
He said stupid things.
The “1965 Immigration Act” with its 60 million LEGAL immigrants who vote 80% Democrat plays no small part in this mess.
Birth control was called the greatest invention of the 20th Century according to women. Abortion came soon after being legal along with the acceptance of divorce. I believe Womankind should be the rock that holds our society together because she brings life and joy of family which is an institution. What we have now is horror: unfettered abortion, family ruin and decay and womankind surpassed by men who want to be women among other perversions. The Feminist movement and equality was all a sham that ended with the right to vote.

George McGovern solidified the rabid Left into the Democrat fold in 1972, and they’ve gotten worse every four years since.
They’re so far from what our Forefathers imagined today, it’s truly sad.
Now we have so called conservatives advocating drug use.
The creation of the Canadian-American Challenge Cup (Can-Am) unlimited racing in 1966 with huge American V8 engines and big wings!
Discovering girls was rather cool, too, almost as good as the loud throaty growl of the monster V8s.
Hey now, the Vikings did win one NFL Title.
