How did America Die?

A Guardian article on how Reaganite exhaltation of greed lead to worldwide financial collapse sets Freepers athinking about where we all went wrong...

rarestia's villains are not whate I expected:

Roosevelt (both of them) dragged us into this mess. If we could turn back the tides, we’d be much better off.

Regulator is right on target with the '60s, though:

Wasn’t ‘78.

It was ‘65, when the Kennedy crap really started to kick in.

The things they implemented were just cultural Marxist initiatives; the economic Marxism was implemented in the ‘30s by Roosevelt.

The 70’s was when it all started to bear fruit (rotten fruit, but fruit nonetheless). The 80’s was just a bump in the road, as the WWII generation tried to throw a rock on the track to Hell.

Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America blames Civil Rights for making America go gay for Obama:

Although well-intended, the Civil Rights Act was the first knife in Uncle Sam’s back. It created ‘protected classes’ where we were no longer Americans, only ‘groups’. Next came the women’s liberation movement, led by man-hater lesbians such as Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem. The family unit became broken, females assumed the male role resulting in broken marriages. The divorce rate skyrocketed and perhaps worst of all, boys became emasculated without a father in the house. Case and point, Barack Hussein 0bama. He is the embodiment of how feminism destroyed America. He is not a man. He throws like a girl. He is obsessed with style over substance. He is a celebrity, not a leader.

mm427 hates how America isn't a theocracy where only white men can vote:

Americas down fall can be easily traced....

1. The 19th amendment.
2. Group right’s becoming more important that Right’s of the Individual.
3. Removal of Prayer from the public schools.
4. Abortion legalized.

Yep...that pretty much covers it.

Is it just me, AEMILIUS PAULUS, or is it getting White Supremecist in here?

In the 1960's those who formed this country, and operated its government over the centuries collapsed and abdicated their right to govern. The Third World eagerly stepped up and is in the process of taking control.

Already the descendants of the white former governors are being beaten on the streets; their children cannot get into school and upon graduation must wait until the Third World ethnic studies major has his place in a government job-(as jobs in the private sector with few exceptions are largely gone.). The few large private companies still remaining largely hire minorities.

My local Wells Fargo branch is all black with the exception of a Mexican female. When they do a service for you they have a cook book on how to do it. If the cook book does not handle the transaction they have a center they can call. (I saw the aforementioned.)

The above is the price my children for equality and surrendering the right to govern. At least you can gaze into your new masters shiny black face and sigh how wonderful you are.
