I agree with you. I was born in Berkeley in 1965 and was indoctrinated in the hippie values until I gradually started to see the foolishness and downright evil behind it all. I now stand alone among my foemr college buddies as a right-wing conservative. One factor is no doubt my Japanese immigrant mom who taught us traditional values and refused to accept welfare. The richer of my former friends seem to get it the least, a la the 60’s hippies. One friend is an indie music publicist snob who is a hardcore leftist and atheist. The entertainment business definitely shapes the hippy and post hippy thinking as much as these people try to appear countercultural. Its the new Establishment among the urbanites. I think she as well as others have disowned me due to my conservative Christian posititon.
Thank God I woke up.
Well said!
Pretty serious event. I don’t remember it at all. Thanks for posting.
Although this occurred 4 years before I was born, this was the very finest event with respect to blue-collar labor defending OUR country against the hate-America Communist hordes. John Vliet Lindsey, a pansy-ass leftist RINO-turned-rodent twat, and sympathetic to the anti-American farces (many of HIS people were part of the protest crowd), was one of the single worst Mayors in this nation’s history. His “leadership” saw nearly 1 million New Yorkers flee, including my family, on his watch.
Hoisting the flag to full staff in direct defiance of his order to pay homage to brainwashed anti-American yoots in Ohio was the piece de resistance. It’s too bad we couldn’t have had a mass-uprising organized by labor in every community in America to clean out the trash, and laid the hippies dream of Marxist revolution to dust.
Wasn't it?
I was eight at the time, and only remember it from seeing re-runs in the '70s. It seems like the only time "the silent majority" stood up to the Leftists.
