Doc, I really do believe the proponents of Obama's policies -- the deep-down-base proponents, the '60s and '70s "activists" whose kids are now shopping for the best "Manors" to put them in -- are done as a "movement." I see every day in my own life, as well as the news, the Reagan-era common-sensical, optimistic people emerging and indeed triumphing.

If this country could be sat down as one and told, "The only reason you have bought this BS ("racism," "environmental doom," "same-sex marriage," "legal marijuana," etc.) over the past 10 years is to pretty much give the "old hippies" their "victory" ... I believe things would become rather crystal clear as to what's been going on here.

These truly are people who spent their whole lives yearning for their rather bizarre dreams to come true. And Obama embraced that to get elected and win re-election. Guess what? It's ALWAYS been a crock, as the Reagan-era kids now grown up know full well.

So, yes, on a generational level, I think this man, and the people he relied on to get him elected, are DONE.

And not just the Reagan-era kids...I had to deal with the "old hippies" when they were my age-peers, when they literally stank and cluttered up perception of my age group. I have wanted the 60s gone and forgotten for DECADES.
