Is America a better place today than it was back in 1956? Of course many Americans living right now couldn’t even imagine a world without cell phones, Facebook or cable television, but was life really so bad back then? 60 years ago, families would actually spend time on their front porches and people would actually have dinner with their neighbors. 60 years ago, cars were still cars, football was still football and it still meant something to be an American. In our country today, it is considered odd to greet someone as they are walking down the street, and if someone tries to be helpful it is usually because they want something from you. But things were very different in the middle of the last century. Men aspired to be gentlemen and women aspired to be ladies, and nobody had ever heard of “bling”, “sexting” or “twerking”. Of course life was far from perfect, but people actually had standards and they tried to live up to them.
So how did it all go so wrong?
Could it be possible that life in America peaked back then and we have been in decline ever since?
Before you answer, I want to share with you a list of comparisons between life in America in 1956 and life in America in 2016…

Sixty years ago was the year of my birth. I remember Davy Crockett on Walt Disney on Sunday nights. Today, Disney no longer represents the values and traditions of Walt Disney. Westerns were a staple that has been replaced by vampires. Political parties actually had some respect. Is nostalgia important?
Looking back sometimes is a means to move forward. We still need Divine providence to guide our steps.

Happy Birthday David. Thanks for reminding me before the event. As far as Walt Disney, he was always anti Christ. He specifically went out of his way not to portray Christianity in his studios work.
Yom Hu’ledet Sameach David
“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel.
You shall proclaim blessing to them:
YHVH bless you, and keep you;
YHVH make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you;
YHVH lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’
So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel, and I then will
bless them.”
Numbers 6:23-27
Blessings to You and yours and ALL you do in HIS name!
Thank for the birthday blessing.
Disney was a free-mason and was fixated with elves and witches--and rats. From what I’ve been told, he had his body frozen at death for future resurrection. Whatever…the man was a disaster to the youth of this world and his legacy is still leading children astray. As the other commenter stated, “anti-Christ.” Also, the 60s were the years of great upheaval in this country…just think about it. The pot-smoking, LSD injecting, love-feast pervs are running our country right now. I was born a bit before you, but I remember the late 50s and 60s quite well. Personally, I believe our country took a turn for the worst in those years. Sorry…not to burst your bubble, but I lived it. I’m old enough to remember vividly.
All the good intentions in the world, all the supposed tolerance in the world, all the emotionally based conclusions in the world along with all the government mandates in the world shall not render invalid the fact that DEMOGRAPHICS ARE DESTINY.
A nation which represses nothing, stands for nothing.
Shall goodness be suffered to lay alongside evil? When it is a fact of evil’s very base nature that IT MUST ALWAYS struggle to consume and overcome goodness of every type and kind, until only evil is left.
America has not stood for anything of clearly good substance since WW-II; we have suffered evil to grow unchecked within our communities and amongst our leaders, and this is the inevitable result -- that God’s Word has once again been proven -- it is witnessed by the downfall which we have purchased for ourselves across generations of swelling wickedness which neither repents, nor is cut down by Righteousness.
We have suffered predators to live amongst us without curtailment or penalty for the last century, and behold -- how our society is consumed in turmoil, and our children are taken freely as prey, by those who usurp the claim to American heritage and disposition, while maintaining a perpetual assault against our faith, laws, rights, and traditions.
And because they pervert and corrupt everything, and can be bound neither by common decency nor the rule of law, they have been very successful in raping and pilaging their way through our economy, eating out the very sustenance of our society -- causing our very goodness itself to starve in desperation.
No, as God has taught me, and all experience has shown, that tolerance is not a virtue. Rather, intolerance is the virtue which we must once again seize and raise up, as a standard for all who would call themselves Americans -- and for those who accept it not, then there are other places in the world where they might live hapily, but not here. Neither hapily, nor at all. For a properly tuned societal intolerance drive out wickedness, and that which refuses to be driven out, must be destroyed in its ill-gotten place. But none shall be suffered to remain, for that is The Law.
This is the place in which we find ourselves, and the legitimate cause which divides our world into two clear and enimical halves -- those who adhere to The Law, and those who do not: those who adhere are friends and brothers in every generation; while those who do not have ever been and shall ever be our enemies; because this is that same conflict by which the entire world has ever been consumed; nor shall it be resolved until our Judge, our King and Savior shall return, and dispatch every evil unto it’s rightful place.
30 “You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes. 31 Your ox shall be slaughtered before your eyes, but you shall not eat of it; your donkey shall be violently taken away from before you, and shall not be restored to you; your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no one to rescue them. 32 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your hand. 33 A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually. 34 So you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see. 35 The Lord will strike you in the knees and on the legs with severe boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.
36 “The Lord will bring you and the king whom you set over you to a nation which neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you shall serve other gods—wood and stone. 37 And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all nations where the Lord will drive you.
As we see our country flooded with nations with whom we share no blood, as we see our children marry people with whom we share no heritage, as we see our country overrun and run by those of other nations let us not deceive ourselves that this is anything other than the hand of God’s judgement upon our country.
Natural affection is not only a genetic fact but is indeed of God. As we remove ourselves from His blessing we accept all means of our destruction. After all it was godless communism that forwarded that notion that the only thing that mattered was common belief and all else should be ignored. While I recognize and accept others who profess Christ as savior I further recognize He did not erase the handiwork of His Father nor His Father’s will.
Correct. Two curses there are, for which men are still bound by the evil of their ways -- the curse of Cain, and the Curse of Babel.
The sons of Cain are cursed to be vagabonds and fugitives; cast outside the society of men and The Law, forever, without skills or trades; and even the ground shall bear testimony against them because of the curse of the Lord, such that when they till the soil, nothing good shall grow for them; thus the sons of Cain shall be unable to provide for themselves and their families, and they shall know privation and want, forever.
As for the curse of Babel, for man’s pride were our words made as stumbling blocks between us, and our ability to comprehend one another confounded; and also men were scattered abroad and driven away to every corner of the earth.
It is at the time of Babel that the tribes of the world -- the Nations of Men -- were made separate and dispersed; from thence the Lord scattered them abroad unto every country. [each to it’s particular place and country, as appointed by the Lord]
These NWO Globalists are nothing new under the sun -- they but seek to rebuild Babel, and to do as the men of Babel did in the sight of God, that which offended Him -- to glorify themselves like unto God by their creation (the tower), and the works which they perform therein (worship of Baal).
WE HAVE BEEN WARNED
Cain and his descendants would have been killed in the flood. Another curse would the Hamites.
Now, put down the paper, turn off the news, cut off the computer and then you just might have a….
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Although my birthday is close, it is not today.
But the above still applies. 🙂
One comment mentioned the 60s drug culture…the CIA created and then distributed LSD into the population.
