WOODSTOCK IS FINALLY OVER

Enjoy life for a few days.
Peace, dude.

Don't eat the brown acid.

The New York Thruway is closed, man.

Time to dust off that old Bob Roberts record, "The Times, They Are A-Changin' Back."

This election should show, more than anything, that the frivolous days of the Clintons' eight-year Mazola party are over.

Mazola party? I'm afraid to ask what that might be.

"....As a Woodstock "veteran" and a US Army veteran post Woodstock, I can assure you that there was no Woodstock to be over. It was a party not a movement....."

You missed the point, I'm afraid. Woodstock was/is largely held as the defining symbol of the emergence of Socialist/Communist/LeftWing politics in this country. It represented the triumph of the Berkley intellectuals of the early sixties.

Woodstock in and of itself was a party, true, but look at the "values" brought forward by the party goers: Sex with no consequences, drugs, false gods/religions (astrology).

Marxism had come home to roost. No one at Woodstock worried about who was going to pay for the party; "somehow", "somebody" would pay...but not the party goers.

Hope you had a good time, by the way. I'M not implying that you represented anything just by going. I attended a similar event that same Summer; 400,000 people attended in Dallas, Texas, music was the best (Chicago, Santana, Led Zep, you name it).

America seems untouchable untill there's a welding event like Dec 7, 1941 or Sept 11, 2001. When Americans gel on an issue there is nothing can stop us.

I notice our local liberal paper printred nice spreads and recognition for Vererans Day. Hereto, they printed short obligatoty article on the bottom of page 19.

[Egregious Philbin]

Conservatives - the handful who get air time

Oh puh-leez.

I understand that Victor but there is a mystique taht Woodstock was the "Dawning of the Age of Aquarius". It wasn't,

Moral relativism was born on the campus' of America's Universities where it remains an insidious disease out of control until this day.

Oh yeah, I had a good time but to tell you the truth I had a better time at Willie Nelson's picnic down near Austin.

[katana]

Well, it involves a bunch of naked people and a couple gallons of vegetable oil. At least that's what I've heard.

[oyez]

I went to one of those too, Saw Johnny Winter and Jannis Joplin, but when Monday morning rolled arould we went back to work and our regular lives. Other people thaught a new way of life had started.

[Cultural Jihad]

And liberal lighthouses blinked out all over the referendum reef. In Nevada, the citizens defeated a proposal to legalize marijuana, and banned same-sex marriage.

Apparently, the author forgot to consult with the moral-liberal Libertarian Party first, because otherwise he'd be calling these issues 'truly conservative and patriotic' and very important to the Founding Fathers.

[fish70]

Oh boy! Industrial county music. Just what we need.

[Seruzawa]

While this editorial is a nice read and very enjoyable, I'm afraid that it makes far too much of the Republican gains. It is a mistake to see the average voter as anyone who looks much further than his own immediate interests. The voters will depart the Pubbies in a heartbeat if the Pubbies get over-confident again ala 1994.

The key is to keep showing the voters how the Republican agenda does in fact act in their immediate interests. Stop letting the commies win the PR battles. We have the initiative. Let's keep on top of it.

[Victor]

You are right, my friend. I remember the "Age of Aquarius" thing getting prominence in the mid-sixties, straight out of Haight-Ashbury (San Francisco). False gods, bad consequences. I used to think it was cool to visit all the head shops and check out strange objects and ideas from places like India and the far east. And this was in the early sixties.

The moral relativism thing, as you point out (and I mentioned in my first post), was born in the "intellectual" centers such as Berkley. I shudder to think that these people all now occupy heavily-tenured professor positions all over the country.

Of course, they couldn't do anything else....

[John Lenin]

Our biggest job is to keep the far-right at bay, if we do that we will win big again in 04.

[Dan from Michigan]

Good riddance is right!

And while Michigan screwed up in the governors race, at least we took the Attorney General spot for the first time in 48 years, kept the Secretary of State in GOP hands, took all four marginal congressional seats(two open), gained in the state house, survived the state senate, and in my county, a clean sweep.

If nothing else, the democrats have no farm club here.

[Victor]

"...Other people thaught a new way of life had started...."

It's precisely those "other people" that have caused an enormous amount of pain to our culture and our country.

As evidence, I offer up: Bill & Hillary, Algore, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Wellstone, the entire "Progressive Caucus", most of Hollywood....well, I better stop for lack of space and time.

[Dan from Michigan]

I forgot to mention. The democrat state chair I believe was fired.
