No AM DUFU editions this week. All will be in the PM.
Let me know if you want on the DUmmie FUnnies PING List.
This is possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read.
Its like they are angry because there is NO draft. You know the whole "well, I had to deal with the draft, so you should have to deal with the draft". A warped version of "if it was good enough for me" or of the "slacker, I had to walk 10 miles to school uphill both ways". As I'm a boomer and my children are of the so-called "missing generation", I am resentful of this whole attitude. My son has volunteered and is serving his country - they want to put him down for stepping up and standing to preserve their freedoms. Geesh!
What I've seen is mostly hispanic between the ages of 20-35 usually pulling on a Budweiser and spitting at people.
And if this author would like to really know what happened to us old hippies, we sobered up, signed up, grew up and went to work for the Nixon and Reagan campaigns.....
"Well, that awakening is now happening in Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Uruguay, Nicaragua--all of which have elected leftist governments in the last few years--and also there are great leftist movements occurring in southern Mexico and Mexico City, in Peru and in Paraguay (and even in Guatemala)."
Yep, I would sure want to make a home in those third world paradises.....
These poeple are insane.
the "60s" were 100% about the draft. At least these idiots recognize that, even if they don't see the irony. When the draft ended, they traded tie-dye for polyester and hit the discos almost immediately.
They completely miss the irony that they're reacting to today's "kids" in the same way most of their parents reacted to them. "How dare they think and act different than we do."
What really killed the 60's generation was that some of them became the Establishment they supposedly hated and the rest became the bums they wanted to be. The latter post to DU.
That's because you protesters are narcissits living out your faded glory years. All that free love and dope just left you lonely and brain scrambled.
Death metal. Hippies hate death metal.
Uh, ok let me get this straight. The "brilliant" liberals like Rangel want to start the draft and end any deferments so that people will go out and protest. But what they will be protesting is the draft that the "brilliant" liberals put into place. If the protesters get what they want there won't be any draft anymore (like it was before the "brilliant" liberals had their way). And people are suppose to vote for liberals so this circus can get underway?
"Dobie Gillis' best friend was a role model for me - whenever the word "work" was said, he would shudder." Nice to see one of them finally admit it.
I see evidence of that "leftist movement" almost every day. The great leftist movers who aren't working at the local Tyson chicken plant can usually be seen trimming the shrubbery in the mall parking lot.
I think the $9 per hour wages at the chicken plant has taken any enthusiasm they ever had for a Marxist revolution right out of them. Chicken pluckers probably make less than $36 a week in South America's leftist dictatorships, never mind $360.
So much for you hippies "giving peace a chance" back then, eh?
