Conservative Response To Counter Culture in 60's (Vanity)

[E-squirrel]

Hi freepers. I need to know, for an assignment, what the Conservative Response was to Counter Culture in the 1960's. Any help would be deeply apreciated!!

the pro culture beat the counter culture. We elected Nixon in 68 and 72, Reagan in 66 and 70. At the time college students surveyed supported the Viet Nam war. The college/youth vote seemed to turn around 1971-1972 and then very rapidly after watergate.

Just imagine today without the internet. The MSM led by Uncle Walter got away with lying to us. Without the internet, John Faux Kerry would be in the White House today.

Thank you all for the insight. I wasn't around during these times and I have to do a report on what the conservative response to Counter Culture in the 1960's was. As a whole, what conservatives did during this period of time. Also, how could I compare the counter culture of the 60's, to the liberal hippies anti war protestors today?

The response was belated but predictable. A return to family and family values. I know that sounds like an over played term, but Conservatives long recognized that the socialist and anti-Christian tendency in Democracy which 'isolates individuals and makes them powerless'. The return to the cultural/social traditions of America was begun later than it should have been, but grew apace and now is central to Conservatism and I think to national unity altogether. After all, who and what are we without values?
