” Looks like trouble. ‘bipartisan group of members’ ???”
McCain: “ My friends....”
Here we go.
I see history repeating itself. In the 1960s, hippies did not want to be drafted and killed in Vietnam. Although the US leaders really wasted many lives, the hippies would not have wanted to go to any war. They wanted to change the government.
Bob Dylan, The Times they are A-Changin':
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don’t stand in the doorway
Don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin’
And sure enough, the legacy of the 1960s includes not only the war protests, but "Free Love," which led to Roe v Wade, gay rights, the 1965 Immigration act, etc.
Now flash forward to 2011. Illegal aliens don't want to be deported any more than the hippies wanted to be drafted, and the pro-amnesty movements seem unstoppable. In that yesr, the Dylan song came out in Spanish:
As Dylan sang, "Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin’"
I think this amnesty BOHICA mess shows that the nation has lost its bearings, and things are likely to get much worse.
