Lost in the Fifties- Another Time, Another Place

I grew up in a conservative farming community. Nothing like the above picture.

I REMEMBERED WRONG BELOW!

It was Tony Dow I was thinking of…Wally Cleaver. Not Ken Osmond, Eddie Haskell.

:relieved::relieved::relieved:

He (correction: Tony Dow, not Ken Osmond) used to drive around the Valley in a Chevy Stingray with the top down in the early years of the 60’s. I remember seeing him on Chandler Blvd and Van Nuys Blvd in Sherman Oaks a bunch of times like he was cruising. . He wore his hair as a butch with pomade, his shirt unbuttoned a little and shirt collar up and would rev his mean sounding engine with an obvious modified exhaust. at stop lights to impress. He was in the super cool mode, then.

can’t remember if the Corvette was white, or …?, I think like this

Apparently someone in a Corvette forum mentioned him

He seemed like a nice guy in real life. I had no idea he was a policeman until reading the news of his passing.

My mother died on Easter Sunday, 2005. I’d call it a passport to Heaven.

My childhood was absolutely idyllic. Total freedom. Mom ran the house, Dad worked. Today, either something is intruding in our lives that shouldn’t be; or something is missing, that should be. I believe in serious technology - research; but it seems “some” has made it possible for us to regress more efficiently.

I just corrected my post above. IT WAS TONY DOW with the Corvette and pomade butch hair.----Wally Cleaver. Beaver’s older brother.

Eddie Haskell was the creepy guy :grinning:

Liberalism…sucks!! It used to be on the PNL (Point & Laugh) fringe of society until about the mid 60’s when it gained traction mainly by “quilt tripping” a prosperous American society and it’s been on a Blob like roll ever since morphing into a socialism monster which needs to be defeated and by that I mean put back to the fringe of American society, where it belongs.

I grew up in paradise too.

Perfect juxtaposition.

Here is one of my favorite quotes by Hitler, where he basically says that the United States will be prosperous as long as it stays white.

Anyone with half a brain can clearly see today how right he was.

Historical experience offers countless proofs of this. It shows with terrifying clarity that in every mingling of Aryan blood with that of lower peoples the result was the end of the cultured people. North America, whose population consists in by far the largest part of Germanic elements who mixed but little with the lower colored peoples, shows a different humanity and culture from Central and South America, where the predominantly Latin immigrants often mixed with the aborigines on a large scale. By this one example, we can clearly and distinctly recognize the effect of racial mixture. The Germanic inhabitant of the American continent, who has remained racially pure and unmixed, rose to be master of the continent; he will remain the master as long as he does not fall a victim to defilement of the blood.

Yet, it was whites most responsible for its diminished numbers in the world. I like the fact that people like to ignore that one poignant fact. Funny how blame works!

No - that was the ■■■■■

Really? How many wars across the European continent did ■■■■ fight throughout its history? In relation to America, imagine how many whites would be in existence if the men fighting that war were to live and have off-spring.

Europeans, and their governments, were used as pawns by the international bankers for the sole purpose of consolidating their grip on power. European rivalries existed. There is no question about that. But those rivalries were leveraged, and wars were fought (and funded), for the sole purpose of consolidating wealth among a rootless international clique.

Besides 2000 years of largely unrestrained usury and their excellence at scheming and dirty tricks, the remainder of their massive grip on power stems from sympathy for “The Holocaust” (which is not allowed to be questioned).

Now - I am sure these nice people don’t want their thread derailed any further. We can take this conversation to a separate thread, if you’d like.

Well, you go back to Fredrick the Great, and everything else following it, its clear that today’s demographics is a result of past wars, regardless of the cause of them.

Today’s demographics are the result of the Hart-(((Celler))) Act as well as rampant Cultural Marxism pushed primarily by ■■■■■

I disagree. The single most damaging event was the Civil War and what followed. Remember the winners get to define history as well as part taking in its spoils!

Can’t say it all can be blamed on the ■■■■■ but there is little doubt, there are those who are always ready to profit from human misery. What is not seen are diminishing returns. Then when it comes to light, it’s usually too late. The can of worms has been tipped. I think we can all agree, the biggest impact on the human condition has been caused by greed.

My parents were just too cool. I would try to visualize them when they were young; and my mom was working on PBYs at the Philadelphia Naval Yard; while my dad was slogging through the jungle in Burma for 3 years. He survived the cerebral malaria, came home, and got to the business of living in peace & raising a family. I could not have asked for a more stable childhood. Then I see the old gentle man who was once privileged to experience Hell; but now sitting in his garden smoking his pipe. I also worked with an old boy, and once I found out about his past, my respect for him skyrocketed. Old, overweight, a limp, quiet & reserved. Just another old man. Then I find out at 18 years old, he flew 33 bomber missions into Germany, came back to the states for 1 or 2 months; then back for 22 more missions. An old man with a limp. Go figure. So many unsung heroes. I actually think it was more than 55 missions. He was not alone. It “was” the greatest generation. I never spent a day working with Russ, that I didn’t learn something. Now I’m old, sitting in my garden. Bitter Sweet, huh.
