Dean: 'We're About to Enter the '60s Again'
CNSNews.com ^ | June 28, 2006 | Randy Hall

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.

Dean said he is looking for "the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision."

"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

As the man says, "If you remember the Sixties, you really weren't with the program, were you?"

What little I remember of the late-60's through early-70's period is my mother and another lady from down the street making their own clothes on the living room carpet using store-bought patterns and fabric:

I can still hear the sound the scissors made cutting through the thin newsprint and fabric and the mechanical whirring of her sewing machine. The final result is that my mom and her friends really would end up looking precisely like the ladies drawn on the cover of the pattern packages.

Later on, I'd come sliding into the living room in my socks and get their leftover pins in my foot.

I think that Dean wants to go back to the time of bomb throwing hippies and radical counterculturists. Well, forget that. I would love to go back to the way it was like living in the March AFB married officers' neighborhood. The closest that I think I've ever seen it portrayed in film is from the movie 'Apollo 13'. Still not 'right' but pretty close.

This is the problem you get with fat soluble hallucinogenics.

Jesus didn't teach that people should steal from someone to feed the hungry.

Truman and Eisenhower authoritarians? Oh give me break Deaniac! And to think that he calls the US "authoritarian" during the time just after we had liberated part of Europe and kept the Commies from taking over South Korea. Yeah, whatever ....

The liberals keep promising to turn whatever decade they find themselves in into "the '60's".In the Movie Flashback, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099581/ Dennis Hopper plays an aging radical being brought in by a young, straight arrow F.B.I. agent, and gives him this gem:

Huey Walker: The 90's are going to make the 60's look like the 50's.

The FBI agent is played by Kiefer Sutheralnd, of 24 fame
