One of my early influences was reading Robert Heinlein, so I really didn't get too swept off my feet by the lefties. I was more influenced by The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and Stranger in a Strange land than by Rubin.

Heinlein corrupted me young with that healthy dose of libertarian leaning you should be responsible for your decisions pov that he was good at communicating.

And then there was Bradbury and Orwell, too, to show me the craziness of the leftist promise...

But I did read the Gita, too...and the Upanishads.

I was a precocious reader. I had devoured all of these before I was 16.

I watched Kennedy get the Democrat nomination in '60. In the basement on a tiny tv, with Daddy. I was clueless, but I think I got bit that night. :-)

He died in '61, but not until after he read Advise and Consent and praised Alan Drury to the hilt. (I wonder if we would agree or argue about politics if he were still around.) My mother thinks Ted Kennedy walks on water. Since she's old, I don't mention Mary Jo....

Nixon was rather worried about the youth culture, because it was very radicalized...and I think he had gotten a bit paranoid of things, like it might escalate out of control into something really bad.

It's been a while since I studied it.

I liked Nixon when he was president, I liked him after Watergate...If Ike had liked him better and helped him beat Kennedy, the last half quarter of the 20th c might have been different.

This is sounding more like a 'real' war, not just stopping guerillas.... :-)

Well, I'll admit, I was nothing more than a faux hippie back then - I actually doorbelled for Goldwater as a child, (must have been in the 4th grade at that point) went to the '64 convention in Anaheim, CA with my mom and my "radical" reading list was designed to drive my teachers up the wall whenever possible. HA! I can't remember a time I haven't been a conservative in reality. Was I the only one to sob for days when Reagan lost his first bid for the nomination to Ford?

My dad finally had to give up being a yellow dog democrat, cause the party everywhere had gotten too leftist...but he was late...not until the late 90s.

But I suspect he was a swing voter, in reality.

My mom was an FDR democrat all her life, although she voted republican in the last primary she voted in because we were trying to get someone we knew elected.

No it isn't. Now the left seems so venal, empty and angry. Then they seemd innocent, pure and ethereal.

I didn't have much concept of 'conservative' then, except old. lol

Now that label says calm, intelligent, down-to-earth and reliable.

Wonder if people changed, or just the labels...

IOW, you should not go shopping tomorrow. Stay inside. Stay with us.

LOL - we aren't allowed outside of our walled compound. Our prison, so to speak. Whenever we do have to leave it, we are in heavily armored convoys.

The only shopping we get to do is at the PX. ;-)

Now, the rest of the story. I can remember as if it was yesterday. University library had been bombed and one student was killed. Nixon visited the school and as he was walking down a corridor, being followed by the mighty press, one of them asked him what he thought about someone who would place a bomb and Nixon said "they are bums". The following day the headlines were "Nixon calls students bums." And it stuck and with only 3 tv stations that was all we heard. Poor ol Nixon, everyone was out to get him.
Now you know ....the rest of the story.
