Well, we will talk about this much more in the next three weeks...but I don't see how Rove and Bush can be upbeat...
It looks to me like the House is gone, but the Senate will still be okay...
If the Left gets beat in both Houses...it will be a 100% embarrassment and rejection of crazy liberalism...
There is no way Democrats shouldn't atleast have control of the House already....
Are Bush and Rove taking too many happy pills?

Well, they think Iraq is going great, too.
Go figure!
Jason,
This is an ad hominem atttack:
You are so full of s**t, it is unbelievable. You have no idea what you are talking, not a clue. Hippies never had any major influence then nor do they now (unless you count Ben and Jerry).
And by the way, I've never been a hippie, don't really even know one, and while I hold no hatred nor particular affinity for the "hippies" of the sixties, I have never been without a job, never been on nor lived on a commune, never even let my freak flag fly. Dug the music though.
Your continuous rants against "hippies" suggests that you have an immense hatred for the only members of the 60s generation whom you know: your parents (who apparently were hippies).
Jason, grow up and forgive your parents. They only wanted a world of peace, love, and understanding for you.
Sadly, jason has a point with Pattons speech. We HAVE become a nation of sissies. Its dumb to blame it on libs, though. Since there are enough Cons out there to pack elections, they are just as responsible.
Oh, and jason...that quote is false. It was only made for the film with George C Scott. Plus, Patton didnt arrive in Normandy til almost two months after the landings. He was part of Operation Fortitude which was based in England and Scotland until after the landings.
Correction, the speech in whole is crap. He made a sentence or two of that speech BEFORE the army left for Normandy.
I was a hippie, sort of. Had the long hair, said things like, "Wow, man!" and drew peace signs on my notebook covers. But I was just in it for the sex, drugs and rock n roll. As I began to hear what it was all about, I didn't much care for what they were saying. Oh yeah, sure, peace love and understanding is all well and good. It's something to which we should all aspire. It's the same touchy feely crap spewed by the likes of John Lennon and for that he was considered a hero of sorts. But again, it's just an earlier case of someone raggin' on the wrong people. The old "warmonger" crap. He never went to the Viet Cong and spoke that stuff to them. He was more concerned with preachin' to the choir. We get the same today. And it's worse today because the enemy we face is more determined and willing to die for their cause far more than ever before.
But the real hippies, the ones that swallowed that crap and washed it down with Strawberry Hill, provided a real disservice in preaching the "evils" of America so that too many no longer understand the difference between real good and evil. They created all those gray areas of which they are now so fond. (A "gray area" is that which the user of that term is at the time engaged, which had been traditionally known to be wrong.) This mentality clouds all judgement and makes lazy the processes of discernment. And the growing numbers who suffer from this mentality is the main reason that I do not share the same upbeat attitude as George and the boys.
I will agree, the nation started going down hill in the 60's, and it was liberalism and hippies that fueled it...its not an attack...its an opinion, and really its true
Jim--
That wasn't an ad hominem attack because I wasn't making an argument. I was merely insulting you for fun.
Jason, I wasn't accusing you of making an ad hominem attack. I was making one myself.
I could take a "hippie" joke from you if you weren't CONSTANTLY ragging on hippies, the sixties, and so forth. Your blaming hippies for everything is goofier than Game blaming Clinton's penis for everything.
Jim--
The cultural revolution of the 1960s is like a damaged nuclear reactor that is still leaking radiation to this day, given it has been institutionalized in Hollywood, Academia, and most of the media.
These people do not love America; they love the socialist vision of what America should be in their eyes. Even today businesses like McDonalds and Microsoft are routinely attacked for being what's wrong with America, those who defend the traditional family are maligned as bigots, and opposing dictators will get you called an imperialist. Do you think we got to this point in a vacuum?
Jason,
You have one of the strangest, most warped views of Americans and American history I've ever heard. You write as though hippies have taken over the country and have a significant influence on the national policy. What a joke!
"These people do not love America." You have NO CLUE. None whatsoever.
If you have a child that does something you don't like or approve of, do you love them any less? Do you not want them to be the best they can be? To be moral? To be a model for the rest of the world?
Do you not think the US should live up to its self-image as an exceptional country?
Is there nothing wrong with ANY policy or action by US government or US corporations? Is what Union Carbide did in Bhopal, India OK with you?
What grand hubris you display to be so certain that the majority of your fellow citizens who disagree with you and this administration's policies are illiterate, deluded, hypocritical, socialist, traitorous, treasonous America haters.
What a sad state of affairs it is to know that such a large number of people in this country hate me because I want America to be better.
Scorpion says---
No one from my generation will ever hate such wonderful comedy in
some of these mo-ron-ic responses.
As "jumbled" as some of these views
are it is always fun to start Monday off looking and laughing to
brighten up a rainy day.Please continue to provide the GAME with such provacative points of view.
no jason, you are 100% correct...its obvious
Ok, you guys hate the hippies so much, how about we discuss what brought them & their attitudes into being? What sparked the movement?
Well, racism for one. Hippies hate racism, as everyone should.
The Vietname War, for another.
Ohio for another, at Kent State.
These are only a few of the many, many examples.
Now, are these things the fault of the hippies, or of the establishment-and-government-at-bay? Now who could you hate? What brought the movement into being, or the movement itself? I personally think that if it hadn't been for the causes of the movement, LSD & cocaine would never have become the phenomenon it did.
BTW: I have no problem myself with long hair on a guy, so long as it looks decent on him. I have no problem with peace signs.
Now, I'd like to know what was so wrong with the hippies (other than the fact that they didn't want to hear a bunch of conservative bullshit from the government, decided that we lived in a free country, and couldn't handle being shot at just to shut them up), besides the drugs thing?
By Kent State, I meant this.
read the story about marriage...
dedanna--
Blacks were making great strides way before the 60s came around, contrary to liberal mythology. Jackie Robinson entered Major League Baseball in 1947, racist imperialist Christofascist America elected Truman in 1948 on a civil rights platform, the Supreme Court ruled against segregation in 1954, and Republican Dwight Eisenhower (whose armies liberated more people than Shamesty International and the ACLU ever will) enforced it with Federal troops in Little Rock in 1957.
If anything, it is the Great Society programs in our inner cities that have held minorities back, not the legacy of slavery and other bogus explanations. Big government did what decades of slavery and segregation could not do -- destroy the black family.
The worst thing about the 60s generation is that America is now losing wars because of their messianic compassion, despite our complete military superiority. If we take casualties, then we're considered to be losing. To take an example, the Tet Offensive should be renamed the Tet Massacre, given how lopsided the American victory was against the Communists. About 1500 Americans died, while 45,000 Communists died. The media played this as a giant loss for America, doing our military a tremendous disservice.
Despicable liberals are doing the same thing today about Iraq.
jason...perfect...
1...I have said hundreds of times that it is liberal programs and liberalism that ruins the inner cities, and have not ONCE had anyone be able to say otherwise..
2...liberalism is the ONLY enemy of our military that can beat it.
Hippies, while being encouraged by those who thought communism was a good idea, spent a lot of time complaining without offering solutions. I should say, solutions that would work or had any track record of working. It could also be said that they were into dissassociating themselves from society in a manner that was less than productive. They put sex on a pedestal and pretended it was love if they actually had the kid that the sex produced, they then filled the kiddie's head with their selfish ideas of living. Hey, I was there and even bought into some of it for awhile. (you know, that sex, drugs and rock n roll thing) Hate them? No. Just pointing out what idiots they were.
