I will always remember from my childhood those USO shows Bob Hope did from Vietnam that were broadcast on TV, when he would introduce Raquel Welch. As she would prance out onstage in her miniskirt or short-shorts, Bob would say to the troops, “Okay, fella, I just wanted to remind you what you all are fighting for,” which always brought the house down.

I always respected Raquel Welch — though her Hoolywood lifestyle, 4 marriages and so forth weren’t anything to be lauded. But then, even she says that. She seemed to have a brain to match her beauty. And she was ALWAYS patriotic — she supported the troops — she did the USO shows. I can respect that.

Good article overall. Makes sense...

Welch describes the horror of her fellow members of the free-sex generation who, now parents themselves, realized the consequences that the contraceptive culture had brought upon the next generation - including rampant oral sex among middle-school-aged children.

Huh? What does contraception have to do with oral sex?

My college boyfriend had a poster of Welch over his bed in 1969-71. She WAS a pin-up. I agree with her assessment that the 60’s ruined our culture. Many think the 60’s were the best of America. Not so. The culture shifted and not in a good way.

She came a long, long way since her days as "Skinny Legs" on the San Diego beaches. She even succeeded on Broadway.

Just in case anyone wants to hire her as a speaker:

Ya know, I think I would believe anything I was told by Raquel Welch or Sophia Loren.

No matter what they said...I'd believe them.
Yep, I would.

Nothing better than watching women who helped create the society we have today lament the results of that society. Like my ex, they never admit their mistake until long after anything could be done about it. That way you can get your own way and pretend to be right.

Since it’s unclear to many, if you are a Conservative woman on this board, I’m probably not referring to you.
