the 00's will make the 60's look like the 50's...

Self-fulfilling prophesy!
"What-a-maroon!"
Ditzy Dean must never have stopped chewing those Shrooms.
Nothing like having a backward looking vision.
These people are stuck on stupid in the 60's and can't see their way to the future, let alone the present.
911 changed our reality permanently.
Sorry, Howard, the average DUmmie IQ will remain in the low-30's no matter how hard you try.
America is about to revisit one of the most turbulent decades in its history, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told a religious conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. "We're about to enter the '60s again," Dean said, but he was not referring to the Vietnam War or racial tensions.
Then what was he referring to. The next few paragraphs do nothing but refer to both of those issues.
Dean said he is looking for "the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision."
Led by 'fill in the blank based on where you are giving this speech'
"The problem is when we hit that '60s spot again, which I am optimistic we're about to hit, we have to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes," Dean added. See Video
Wanting to go backwards is a sure way to make the same mistakes, especially when you are hoping beyond hope for a return to a troubled era.
Anger over the Vietnam War and the country's escalating racial tensions made the late 1960s one of the most painful eras in American history. Republican Richard Nixon was elected president in 1968, following the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Sen. Robert Kennedy, as well as the riot-marred Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
All Nixon's fault, right?
Later in his speech Tuesday, Dean appeared to backtrack. "I'm not asking to go back to the '60s; we made some mistakes in the '60s," he said.
Backtracking a paragraph is this ""The problem is when we hit that '60s spot again, which I am optimistic we're about to hit,"
"If you look at how we did public housing, we essentially created ghettoes for poor people" instead of using today's method of mixed-income housing.
Oh, so ghettoes no longer exist, due to mixed-income housing? Mixed-income housing. Funny term. Turns good neighborhoods into ghettos.
Another mistake Democrats made in the '60s, Dean acknowledged, was that "we did give things away for free, and that's a huge mistake because that does create a culture of dependence, and that's not good for anybody, either," he noted, a reference to the Great Society welfare programs created by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson in the mid-1960s.
Well, how is mixed-income housing any different than giving away things for free?
"Those mistakes were not the downfall of our program," Dean added. "They helped a lot more people than they hurt.
How does creating a culture of dependence (which is key to Dems policies) help more than it hurts?
Alternating between references to the "McCarthy era" of the 1950s, which he accused the Bush administration of reviving,
McCarthy was right, Commies or Socialists had infested the US and the government, and the Dem Party, and the media. We are facing the same thing now.
Dean explained that he was "looking to go back to the same moral principles of the '50s and '60s."
Funny hearing that from pro-abortion, adultering, corrupt politicians that don't believe in God and don't want moral principles used to regulate the actions of politicians.
That was a time that stressed "everybody's in it together," he said. "We know that no one person can succeed unless everybody else succeeds."
Totally illogical statement.
Dean's comments Tuesday came at a religious gathering convened in the nation's capital to discuss ways of eliminating poverty. After stating that America "is about as divided as it has been probably since the Civil War," Dean declared that "we need to come together around moral principles, and I'm talking about moral principles like making sure no child goes to bed hungry at night."
Well, maybe Dean is prepared to give up his franking priviledges to ensure children have food?????
"I'm talking about moral principles like making sure everybody in America has health insurance just like 36 other countries in the world," he added. "This is a moral nation, and we want it to be a moral nation again."What does health insurance have to do with moral principles????
As one method of accomplishing that goal, the DNC chairman called on Congress "to raise the minimum wage until we have a living wage in this country." He dismissed criticism of a minimum wage hike as "economists' mumbo-jumbo."
Again, a culture of dependence. And don't listen to actual ' economists'. Why would they know anything about the economy?
"We're simply asking to give the people who are working for minimum wage the same raise that Congress has had every year for the last 20 years," he said.
At least this is the promise we will make to get some voters.
Dean also stated that the Democratic Party helped give people "the opportunity to become middle class" during the 1960s.
Yep. It's just that they were upper class to begin with.
"I do think that empowering people to help themselves is what we should be doing in the 21st century," he added, stating that the Democratic Party now emphasizes the value of work.
By creating a culture of dependence?
"If you work hard, you ought to be able to support your family," the DNC chairman noted, and "in America, you need the opportunity to work hard, and that means some level of support from government -- no handouts, but some level of support so that you really do have a genuine opportunity to contribute to the country."
Wiffle, waffle, trying to cover for the previous statements and hoping you all are too stupid to notice.
the 00's will make the 60's look like the 50's...
That would be the 1060's! He is al qaeda affiliated after all!
