I am very new at this and don't really know how to just post my comment, but I want to say that I am a child of the 60s, and we weren't all radical or questioning authority. Somehow, I managed to stand out by my choices and beliefs. Three days out of high school, I was a member of the Woman's Army Corps, and I have always found "rabble rouser's" like Ward Dirthill, to be sometimes pitied, and a lot of times just plain objectionable. Some how a man in his mid or late 60's who still wears his hair long, tells me that somewhere along the line in his life, he turned his brain and heart off from any stretching, growing or maturing and now--he just doesn't get it! He will never understand what a true blue American is.

I think the same thing when I see Churchill (or others like him). Why is he trying so hard to look like a college student in the 60s? A lot of effort goes into manufacturing his appearance. If you read his speeches, book reviews, etc. you know for sure this guy stopped growing intellectually decades ago. Welcome to Free Reepublic!
