My answers:
Were you raised by hippies?
No. Thank goodness, but my mother wanted to be one, but she also liked the materialism of middle class life.
Did being raised by hippies affect you?
N/A, but my mother was extremely immature and not a good m. However, I can finally let bygones be bygones.
How did the 60s affect you?
Why was Cronkite on tv telling us how great the hippies were in Berkeley nightly? Why was he hateful of the soldiers? Not just Cronkite but ALL the news. Why did they perpetuate the hoppies. gays, & feminists? They’ve ruined so much!
Ok, answer savage infidels and infidettes!
Truth or BS? Even if true the Savage of today is who I’m concerned with. People can change for better. And for the worse——>>>
In the early 1970s, Savage had more liberal political views. Savage, then Michael Weiner, introduced himself to part of the literary scene in North Beach, San Francisco. He befriended and traveled with Beat generation poets Allen Ginsberg and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Neoconservative scholar Stephen Schwartz, also an acquaintance of Savage from this time, reported that Savage once posed naked in a photograph with Ginsberg while swimming in Hawaii and used the photograph as sort of a “calling card.”[8][10] One such letter describes an encounter with a black man, interpreted by some as sexual in nature.[11] Savage has denied the nature of the letter, claiming that it is part of a “smear campaign” by “gay fascists.”[11] Another acquaintance of Savage from this time was poet and author Neeli Cherkovski who says that Weiner had dreamed of becoming a stand-up comic in the mold of Lenny Bruce.[8][10] During this time Savage also worked for famous psychedelic drug advocate Timothy Leary.[12]
Around 1980 the conservative political expressions for which Michael Savage is known today became apparent. An acquaintance of Savage, Dr. Robert Cathcart, says that in his private conversations with Savage during this time, he knew Savage to have conservative political views.[10] Stephen Schwartz stated that Michael Savage became alienated from the North Beach scene in the early eighties. His beliefs and lifestyle shifted so far from his liberal friends that intense arguments would erupt when he encountered them.[13] When Savage was asked about his shift in politics and other views, he replied “I was once a child; I am now a man.”[7

My Dad was a jock not a hippie.
So am I! I switched from Miller Lite to regular Budweiser after learning of Miller's support of illegal immigrants. Not my preferred brew, but it's a cheap drunk. LOL!
Well...I was born in 1969. So the 60s can't be all bad.
LOL! Hello, meanie! WORST... GIFT... EVER! ;-D
Known. True. He was friends with Ginsberg. It happens. David Horowitz was a red diaper baby too.
I was really liberal at one time. My parents were dems (not now).
People change!
Oh and in The Great Global Warming Swindle the cofounder of Greenpeace is now working at the Cato Institute!!!
I have Firefox. I ADBLOCKED that image!!! :D
Temps today in the mid 30s, around 20 degrees colder than normal. Temps stay in the 30s tomorrow and perhaps snow next Tuesday. What happened to global warming?
Happy Birthday Tark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think they should DEPORT the flag burners!
Oh great....one of the idiots is from Greece. Of course the Greeks there get mad when Albanians burn Greek flags.
GRRRRRRRRRRR! LOL! :-P
I hadn't thought of that. I bet you're right, SB!
Maybe the Iranians did the British a favor by taking those uniforms off. It seems to me that they didn’t deserve to wear them in the first place.
