Was the U.S. better off when.....?

Question

we won the wars we fought; children prayed in school; people felt bad if they had to receive public assistance; row(e) and wade were things you did in the water; coming out of a closet meant you hung up your clothes; and a patriot was more than a football player?

Answer 1

Absolutely.

That US has been replaced by a socialist style big government that wants to make your decisions for you and raise your children their way.

Answer 2

The good old days weren't all that good and tomorrow isn't as bad as it seems! The American Dream was a nightmare for a h**l of a lot of people not just here but around the world! It didn't have to be that way and we didn't have to be living the present we're living in! I saw it! I knew it when it happened and I can't believe that I'm the only one: When the Cold War ended we had a chance, a glorious moment in time when We the People of the United States could have changed the future of the world! At the end of the Gulf War, we could have announced and financed a Cold War 'Marshall Plan' of sorts and spread around the fruit of victory to the world that had paid so dearly for it! But we didn't. And now, it's too late: we're on a highway to h**l with no exits in sight! At some point, in our lifetimes if we're lucky, we may have another chance to pull it out of the fire but a lot of people are going to have to die in the mean time.....

As for the Supreme Court, they don't deserve the credit or the blame for whats going on: it's a collective effort!

Answer 3

I agree with you..I grew up in those times and it was a much better place to live....

Answer 4

oh yes - the good old days.......unfortunately they will never return again!!

Answer 5

Yup. Those were the good old days. Don't forget when parents were allowed to discipline their kids without the cops being called.
