We spoke of traditional values and one that has been inherently lost is sublimation. We once had a significant number of people in this nation that aspired to be better citizens, workers, parents, teachers, doctors, lawyers.

We believed in the rule of law, patriotism, decency in all things, common courtesy, respect

Today you can't walk into an airport and go to the gate to welcome home family, etc. Unbelievable and unforgivable our schools are now equipped with metal detectors, etc. Schools by the way that are nothing more than K- college incubators of postmoderist indoctrination

Today we can't trust movie ratings because pornography is so common place it is hardly noticed but damages the fragile mind.

Promotion of drugs as cool and natural, especially legalized marijuana is a method wherein the powerful apply to maintain control, as are entitlements, etc.

Look at our politicians it is all about identify politics , about self interests and sowing chaos and discontent.

None can rise above it all Why?

Because we are becoming a nation wherein sovereignty is being replaced by collectives. Individualism is disappearing and the nanny state benefits and that's all a product of identity politics
