The facts are right in front of you.We have diversified our American culture to the point of having no culture of our own while educating kids about all other cultures.Our moral standards are like those of a third world country. Social engineering is out of control. Religious freedom is being dimished as is freedom of speech and the 2nd amendment. We have a media that is now an opinion based ideology, facts are lost and misinformation is blatant in the press and administration. We have lost the notion of individual responsibility, we are buying into collectiveism. Call it grade school level lists if you want but it is fact and pretty simple to see what is going on, even for die hard liberals.

1) Starting in the sixties there was an explosion of children born out-of-wedlock and kids who don't grow up in two parent families fare more poorly percentage wise on just about any and every scale imaginable including substance abuse, teenage pregnancies, suicide rates, criminality and homelessness.

2) Many people are becoming so childlike in their dependence on the government that they can't save for their own retirement, escape from an oncoming hurricane, or even purchase their own birth control without the government handling it for them.

3) Our legal system encourages frivolous lawsuits, is punitively expensive...
