Funny how some things never change.
I saw it all first hand. It was contemptible. As Rich Lowry says, the bitter fruits of those days have poisoned academia thoroughly. What he doesn’t mention is that leftists are disproportionately in control of academia now because attending graduate school was one way to extend your draft deferment and avoid going to Vietnam. It was easier than fleeing to Canada.
If anything, most “humanities” departments have gotten steadily worse over the years, and still have not reached the bottom of the sewers they are exploring.
As long as the Left continues to blame America for the failure of their Utopian dream born in the 60s, the DemonRATs will never be free of the 60s "taint." The animosity for this failure is deep seeded. The revolution of the 60s was the great hope of the Baby Boomers. It evaporated like the media mirage that it had became. The movement evolved from the flower children into the Me Generation, and as those whose hopes rested on the making of a perfect world, watched their dreams end into the world of reality and human nature. With that end, grew a deep resentment that is the heart of the DemonRAT party. It is a genuine hatred of America and all that it represents.
It is the America that the Left hates that Obama wants to change. Obama is giving the Left the false hope of achieving that revolution that was left in the hash pipes and the trash of Woodstock. He is appealing to the Left who wants to create that perfect Utopian world. It is a psychological pandering to an impossible hope based upon a self centered world view. It is a change from the real world that was handed to them by their parents who fought World War II and won the cold war. It is a change but to what? Given Obama's Marxist background, it is a perilous change.
