Although millions of Cambodians were killed by the Khmer Rouge, did this type of thing happen in Viet Nam on the same scale? And let us not forget the 2 million Vietnamese that we killed.
They were the redeeming generation that would save their parents from their sins by ending war, curing racism and cleaning the air and water. Their failure has long been obvious to all but them.
OK, they didn't end war, but the air and water are noticeably cleaner than they were in the 1950's and 60's. There is a lot less racism too. These are not failures. Of course more people than just hippies helped to bring this about.
Great essay, very insightful and right!
I pity the hippies.
BTT
How entertaining, and sadly, how true! I've noticed that participants in anti-war and pro-abortion rallies tend to be a lot grayer each year.
RIght On Cal.
Wonderful article. I've sent it to a friend of mine, a US Army 06 stationed in Baghdad. We are "of that age" and it's nice to see in print what we've always known about the motives and destructive failures of the peace movement. He assure me it will get a wide circulation among his colleagues dismayed by what's happening over here. By the way, he reports that the surge is already seeing very good resukts.
I popsted this on another board, and this was the response I got from a lib....
"That's true, the Republican cocksuckers Nixon and Kissinger abandoned the Vietnamese to imprisonment, torture, death and re-education camps.
Never trust a Republican!"
Orwell was right, the "Memory Hole" of the liberal mind truly DOES exist....
Is there any mass murdering dictator these old hippies will not suck up to?? Let the Killing Fields begin in the name of Peace!
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
From "Aquarius" to "Please carry us". Old hippies don't die, they just smell that way.
Great article. I'm ashamed to be in that degeneration although I didn't partake of any of their swill and came out of it all a conservative. However, many of them are still wearing the long greasy hair, hippie glasses, tie dyes and bell bottoms in their hearts even if they are dressed in Armani physically today (and their spoiled kids can't seem to get the tie dyes done right now either).
Good one Cal...having lived in SF during the 60's, the hippie libs have not changed, well maybe, they are even more looney and dangerous than before.
