#1 Heck. Some Democrats never left the 60's. Look at Kerry and Kennedy.

#2 I would actually agree but this time I think the US and true Americans will win and the Mainstream Media along with the entire LLL's movement will be the ones humilitated, discredited, and crippled.

#3 Wow, peddling the wet-dream of the Moonbats. The new Timothy Leary. And just think, since he's an MD, he can get scrip quality.

#13 Well, if that means free sex even for guys like me, I'm all for it, except if it involves unwashed hairy stoned girls as well.

#14 Read the whole thing. There's more! My favorite:

Dean's comments Tuesday came at a religious gathering convened in the nation's capital to discuss ways of eliminating poverty. After stating that America "is about as divided as it has been probably since the Civil War," Dean declared that "we need to come together around moral principles, and I'm talking about moral principles like making sure no child goes to bed hungry at night."

"I'm talking about moral principles like making sure everybody in America has health insurance just like 36 other countries in the world," he added. "This is a moral nation, and we want it to be a moral nation again."

This wasn't Scrappleface, was it?

#18 Bring it on. I'll dig out my leisure suit, tie-dye stuff, blow the dust off the old vinyls, score some window pane and go looking for free love with some 65 year babe hoping I won't hurt either one of us or aggravate the arthritis. George Burns (at around 90 years of age) was asked what he thought of all the sex and violence on TV. He replied: "At my age they are both the same."

Poor Deanie- he didn't realize this song was written for him.

#21 Laugh, but the world has all too often paid the price in blood for those who want to return to the good old days. Just look at the muzzies now. The third Reich. The revival of Mare Nostrum and glory of Rome.

This is one of the warning signs for kill it before it multiples.

#23 Yeah, Broadhead - I personally vote for the 1860s.
Oh, and Carson City is good for me too!

#24 I'm with C-Low on this one. I think he's right we're going "back to the 60's", but this time we will win. Just see how everyone's now treating the troops to look at that. Numerous interviews of Vietnam grunts (who went to Iraq too) saying they much prefer returning to the State now vs. then. Of course, I'm younger (born after the 60's), so I can't wax eloquent on how "great" the freelove movements were.

#25 the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision

Like these guys?

Dalai Lama: A surprisingly harsh critic of homosexuality. If you are a Buddhist, he says, it is wrong. "Full stop. No way round it." "A gay couple came to see me, seeking my support and blessing. I had to explain our teachings. Another lady introduced another woman as her wife - astonishing. It is the same with a husband and wife using certain sexual practices. Using the other two holes is wrong. . . . I cant condone this way of life." . . . life is sacred and abortion is wrong - though there may be special circumstances, such as saving the life of the mother, when it might be an option.

Or maybe this guy - recognized by the world as a reat religious leader:

Pope John Paul: There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law.

Or this guy:

Pope Benedict: For example, the face of disinterest or disorder, which can even go so far as to damage the structure of that founding cell of society that is the family; or perhaps the face of arrogance that can lead to abuse, silencing those without a voice or without the strength to make themselves heard, as happens in the case of today's gravest injustice, abortion, that which suppresses nascent human life.

Hmm - looks like opposition to homosexualtiy, no "gay marriage", no abortion...

I somehow don't beleive thats what Howlin' Howie had in mind.

#26 OS, he didn't specify any religious leaders because he was referring to the UU's. Though it's kind of an oxymoron as I don't remember any of the UU's having any *religious* leaders.

#27 The World Trade Center was built in the 60's not being jumped off of by Americans on fire.

#28 Didn't they say this too in the early 90's after Clinton got elected? (Ok, those icky bell bottoms came back, but the rest of it stayed back in the archives where it belongs.)

#33 And even though I'm full of sin
In the end you'll let me in
You'll let me through, there's nothin' you can do
You need my lovin', don't you know it's true

So if you please get on your knees
There are no bills, there are no fees
Baby, I know what your problem is
The first step of the cure is a kiss

So call me (Dr. Love)
They call me Dr. Love (calling Dr. Love)
I am your doctor of love (calling Dr. Love), ha
They call me (Dr. Love), they call me Dr. Love (calling Dr. Love)
I've got the cure you're thinkin' of (calling Dr. Love)

Oh. Sorry - that's the 70's!

#35 ...as well as the riot-marred Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

I liked that part. And maybe Howie will OD on heroin...

#36 Speaking of the Dem Convention in Chicago.....

Actual t-shirt worn by some of the police who had to provide security: My Daddy kicked your Daddy's ass in '68, and I'm about to kick yours now!
