Re: Woodstock Generation...WTF happened?
Quote:
I was at Northwestern a couple of years ago just hanging out at the lakefront and who did I see just walking? You guessed it. I gave him an earful and he was quite viably shaking and threatened to call the cops. I really cant blame him though, I would be worried to if some random person came up to me and started talking shit. It was pretty funny though because my friends had absolutely no idea what was going on and why I was seemingly yelling at some random guy about blowing shit up. |

Environmentalism is a fantastic example of this. As a matter of fact one of the founders of Greenpeace actually turned his back on the group because he claims it was hijacked by a bunch of crazy ass liberals who are only for his cause to combat capitalism. |

And the patriot act is a fantastic example of conservatives willing to support larger more intrusive government that pursues unconstitutional searches and seizures. They're simultaneously sacrificing freedoms AND sacrificing the ideas they supposedly hold dear to their hearts.

The Woodstock crowd would have suspected conservatives of supporting such stuff, but liberals? |

Why aren't the rightwingers dissing Obama for those violations of our freedom? Because rightwingers LOVE to see big government trampling on our civil liberties. But they hate Obama so they make up shit like him being a racist or that he was born in Kenya or that he's a commie socialist. |

well, relative to bankrupting the nation, listening to my international calls to suspected terrorists just doesnt seem as serious.

However if the government is spying on my illegally, its damn near impossible to tell if they're doing it until its too late and we're living in George Orwell's 1984. So I'm a hell of a lot more scared about the government spying, upon any whim they see fit (since no judicial oversight at all is required) to my private conversations. |

It's probably a worthwhile topic to compare classical liberalism to modern liberalism.......but Woodstock really fits nowhere in the discussion.

Re: Woodstock Generation...WTF happened?
Not from my vantage point. What I see now is that the Democrats are the Republican party of a generation ago while the Republicans nowadays are totally out to lunch. How else to account for the fact that they rail against gov't health insurance but won't give up their own gov't plans?

It's sharp contrast between landing on the moon in July, and rolling around in the mud in August.
