I think he means that leftist radicals are going to start blowing up things again and burning down military facilities in America.

It is the Dawning of the Age of Hilarious...

Ouch! Now that hurts! ;-) OB1 k NO b

Another mistake Democrats made in the '60s, Dean acknowledged, was that "we did give things away for free, and that's a huge mistake because that does create a culture of dependence, and that's not good for anybody, either,"

Um, it's been GOOD for 40 years of voters who are afraid to leave the Democrat plantation for fear of losing their payoffs, er, handouts.

"We're about to enter the '60s again, Dean said,"

Cool!

And remember man: 'don't trust anyone over thirty'.

Dean's comments Tuesday came at a religious gathering convened in the nation's capital to discuss ways of eliminating poverty.

There is no "solution" to ending poverty. Those who are in poverty have to be motivated to move up. Rewarding them with higher minimum wages does not do this. It just causes inflation and stifles growth.

Have said all along these are aging hippies longing to relive their youth. Thanks for supporting that opinion Dr. D

[Neverforget01]

For the life of me I can't imagine WANTING to relive the sixties. I was little but I seem to recall a decade of assasinations, violent protests, heavy drug use, and racial unrest. This was a good time? Maybe Dean fried too many brain cells to recall correctly.

"We're simply asking to give the people who are working for minimum wage the same raise that Congress has had every year for the last 20 years," he said.

I oppose giving Congress a raise too. How 'bout you, Dean?

[OB1kNOb]

It's the establishment's fault, man. They want to keep us down, and like, keep their foot on our necks, dude. For real. ;-)

[mysterio]

The only way the 60s happen again is if the draft is reinstated. Otherwise, young people are going to keep doing what they are doing now, and protests will be more limited and attended by people who don't fully know what they are protesting against.

The American 1960s represented a Counter-Enlightenment, not an Enlightenment. That's when it became fashionable among many Americans to promote counter-culture instead of civilization, tyranny and social democracy instead of capitalism and liberal democracy, and social engineering instead of the Rule of Law.

In some ways, their victory has been total and complete. Jefferson, Brahms, Newton, Bourguereau, Tennyson, Euler -- are all considered old dead white people, and there's nothing the multicultural left hates more than that. Better to promote the eternal adolescent, they think.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Apparently, this inane screech is unable to parse the propaganda that passes for today's journalism and accepts like koolaid what he reads in the papers.

Today's college grads are far more conservative than they were in the 60's. They are rejecting the 60's ideology far more than I could have hoped.

It is the rent-a-mob that gets shuffled from protest to protest and their constant pictures and video clips in the MSM that makes it look like there is a tremendous protest brewing.

(Pssst. Howie. It's all smoke and mirrors, cooked up by your side.)

"'We're About to Enter the '60s Again'"


OMG!!! NOOOOOOO! Please God, NOOOOOOO....


(And I thought the '90s were bad enough....)

[weegee]

"Howard Dean's political perspective is derived from a 1960s counterculture view of the world."

The counterculture BECAME the establishment and has infested every vestage of our lives, including pro-homosexuality, pro-extramarital sex, pro-abortion churches.

[weegee]

"Finally, a group of people who want to praise the Lord and help their fellow man just like Jesus did and just like Jesus taught."

HE didn't teach praising government or government programs. HE taught giving to others out of charity, not fear of prosecution for protesting taxes.

[Moleman]

I have a 1969 Camaro. If there was anything good in the 60's it was muscle cars!

[OB1kNOb]

Better to promote the eternal adolescent, they think.

How true. Scary. But true.

[Neverforget01]

Whatever you do, don't tell Howie that Jerry Garcia died

"we made some mistakes in the '60s,"


The entire '60s was a "mistake" (more politically incorrectly, "wrong"), from the drugs to the welfare state to the non-war to the protesting-just-to-be-cool to the Indian-instrument music to the tie-dyes and the bell-bottoms.
