Boy, aren't the 50s grand! The economy is through the roof, and thousands of Americans are leading happy, simpler lives.

Oy No. The fifties weren't grand at all. Just about one of every 5 Americans were in poverty during the 1950's.

Sure, but poverty is nowhere near what it could be if the minimum wage was still too low. Now it has been increased, and also a wealth of quality products such as televisions and dishwashers have eased domestic living. 1 of 5 is a pretty large percentage, but our population is being poisoned by illegal immigrants from Mexico. They are stealing American jobs and putting this country into more debt. Don't worry about it. We are producing 65% of the world's manufactured goods, which shall relieve us of this debt. Also, Eisenhower's programs can undoubtedly resolve the minor issue of immigration, as he understands the working class and their struggles. Eisenhower hasn't done anything to help this struggling country. Listen to John F Kennedy as he states, "[we need to] get this country going again." Kennedy doesn't know what he's talking about. Our nation is on the fast track to a new age of abundance and prosperity, not to mention a new age of fun. Pop culture and rock 'n roll have completely refurnished our old-style notions of entertainment, and how can you criticize this kind of guiltless enjoyment?

This new entertainment? Pop culture you say? Well I say corruption. This new kind of entertainment is destroying young children's minds everywhere. This "Rock and Roll" has horrible meanings that burn children's souls. And this new suburban culture is forcing Americans to conform to this new, awful society.

Corruption? Are you a communist?! Your children look up to heroes such as Elvis and Willie Mays. You are a disgrace to this country you communist.
