I grew up in the 1950s, when we read the newspaper, watched intelligent TV news anchors, and discussed what was happening at the dining room table. As I wrote before, my parents said more than once, "We are turning into Rome."
And we were. That took some time, because those days were not close to what we have today. We did not have drug dealers living on our street. Breaking into homes and businesses - not at all common. It was too easy to identify culprits, like the hoodlums who stole a cash register from my father's bakery. They had been kicked out for hanging around the cute waitress.
President brought back the olden days in his Inaugural Address. I was shocked to see so many issues addressed, each one aimed definitely for the good of our Constitutional Republic.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (a stolen name) tore everything apart, starting officially in 1988. As the Lutheran CORE pointed out recently, all the evil and nothing good has come from the smirking, radical, self-destructive witches of that merger.
