Democrats Stuck in the '60s
Real Clear Politics ^ | November 6, 2006 | Michael Barone

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

Those two sentences, spoken by John Kerry last week, tell a lot about the mindset of many -- not all, but many -- Democrats who supported him for president in 2004 and who, as this is written, are looking forward to Democratic victories this week. One thing they tell us is that Kerry's mindset is still back in the Vietnam era................

Their viewpoint hasn't been updated in half a century.

That's 'cause most Democrats think that history ended in 1968.

Don't believe me? Well then, merely ask Walter Cronkite.

BTW, Mr. Cronkite turned 90 over the weekend.

Don't forget to vote tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Think of the troops when you do!

They view the world through the lens of Vietnam and Watergate, and pine for those days like nobody's business.

Kerrys screed is PRECISELY the way our Left views the military, they always have, and everybody knows it.
All the rest is just BS.

I agree. The hard left turn by the party as a whole came in the early 70s.

Great article.

Even MORE telling about Jon "I don't apologize to ANYONE" Carry are his actions immediately after his slur.

He made his 'so-called' apology off camera, cut-and-run, and is STILL HIDING SOMEWHERE!!

Jon, "COME OUT, COME OUT, WHEREEVER YOU ARE"!!!

How's that for a man of backbone! /s

Yes, it is deja vu all over again. They think. Did you hear Drudge say last night he has emails from prominent Dems threatening to take to the streets if we steal the election from them? Fortunately, they are the gun control devotees. I guess the take to the streets with their lattes.

heh heh...IF we are going to re-live the 60s, then can we have a replay of the protest when the Hell's Angels broke through a police line and beat the CRAP out of a bunch of anti-war protesters? I liked it THEN...would PAY to see it now!

Here we are fighting for the very survival of America and we have the Democrats attacking every move that is made by the Administration. Whether it be the economy, Judges, environment or the war against terror........ their against it. What they are pulling under the guise of debate and free speech, along with the media, is bordering on treason........ if not in fact treason. Also what is mind-boggling about all this is that a large number of Americans accept this cowardly mindset and fail to realize the grave danger we are in!! Talk about being dumbed down!!!
