The 1950s were actually one of the most prosperous and happy times in our nation. Less crime, less violence, one income to support the family, debt wasn’t out of control, we weren’t addicted to credit, everyone was much more fit, less depressed and more happy than they are today, but some dipshit intellectuals and the TV tell you otherwise, so keep believing the 50s were oppressive and restricting. Minorities were doing much better back then too, even though we had to battle for some of our basic rights. Isn’t it something? Maybe I could not have sat at the counter at Woolworths, but I was much more likely to graduate high school, graduate college, not be in poverty, our literacy rates were higher, our crime rate lower, I would be less likely to die in a shooting or suffer any other kind of violence in the 1950s, I would’ve been five times more likely to own a home, also. You know, before certain people got a hold of our cities and decided for us that we need to vote for them for their policies. And we fell for it. Yeah, bang up job. Really well done. But that’s OK, some 90 IQ college professor thinks the 1950s were a mess.
