Random Politics & Religion #29: Hypocrisy Edition

ok...here's quick quiz for chanti if she's around today. I know that she is a beatnik and not a hippy but there are only three of us old enough to remember this far back....

What was the predominate issue for hippies in the mid 60's to early seventies 70's?

what is the cessation of th war in vietnam?

yes sir! and were the hippies by and large for or against US participation in the war?

***it's 2017 and they act like the war just ended yesterday man !

Hippies never grow probably Toys R Us kids.

I once walked in on a kid with Down's masturbating in a Burger King bathroom. I was terrified.

yes and which president is the main villain of that era?

Nixon and Trump are the same person !

And the Simpsons version:

And yes those liberals freaks go too far !

Didn't you guys have Civics class in school this ***is basic yo !

I left out that the kid in question was ginger and looking me in the eye while laughing and fapping.

this is taking to long...

ok if you ask just about any hippy who their least and most favorite presidents are and invariably they say Nixon-least favorite and JFK-most bestest favorite ever.

and the main issue of that era was the war in Vietnam and our involvement in it... and they were all vehemently opposed to it...

but strangely, our involvement in vietnam hinges on the one president that started us on the path of escalation to war and that would be the very same JFK their bestest most favorite president ever

now... some may argue that the gulf of tonkin resolution was after JFK was dead but LBJ was just following kennedy's orders and they were...kenedy escalation "pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.

and can you guess which president ended the war in vietnam that was so important that we get out of...

well of course it was Nixon the vile, nixon the villain, nixon the crook nixon the most hated man in america etc etc etc

how do square that to, let's say, a casual onlooker from another planet.... explain it to me so that I can explain it to them.


someone, anyone. jump on in!

I don't like Vietnam not one goddamn horse in the entire country !

jumping ahead but yeah...if history has taught us anything...and let's face it.... for all the teaching history does it's the paying attention and learning anything from it... that we have the most problem with...

Trump could end world hunger, he could sign a treaty that does away with all nukes around the world, he could end global warming
and it wouldn't *** matter. to the people who have spent over a year ramping up this blind seething hatred in their minds that he is some sort of twisted evil traitor. it wouldn't matter in the slightest. there isn't anything he could do.

nixon ended the war that supposedly was the thing hippies cared the most about....didn't make him a plug nickel's worth of jack ***in their eyes.

It's that vile Tricky Dicky using Anaconda Malt Liquor to oppress the masses.

I could see Trump getting Kim Jung Fat to give up nukes and people *** that we didn't do that 30 years ago.

The "opposition" or whatever they call them self are almost guaranteeing that Trump gets re elected. All the protesting bitching moaning. Impeachment calls will just reinforce middle America to say *** that ***. Let's win with bigger numbers in 2020.

All the condescension from the coasts really isn't making me want to vote (D), that's for sure. Whether it'll get a '*** you' vote for trump in 2020, I guess we'll have to see.

hopefully I don't live that long.

yeah, they got nixon, reagan, and dubya all reelected the exact same way.

we could call them 'slow learners' if they showed any signs of learning anything at all.

not sure which advertising agency came up with...

VOTE [D] YOU STUPID HICK!!

but it hasn't really made the impact they were going for....

I forget whether sex or drugs came first, but rock and roll was always playing.

While many hippies were against the viet nam war it wasn't a hippy thing, it was a liberal thing.

Nah, we worked on a 72 Nova when I was in school.

I could do better stone drunk on moonshine.

right and so if ending the war was the most important thing for liberals then why do they hate the guy that ended the war more than anything...
