They were also anti-establishment, until they were the establishment. They were for free discussion in academia, until they were academia. There were for tolerance, until they were in power. Its all a pretext for control over others, in the typical marxist authoritarian style. Thats who they were all along.
Morality has NOTHING to do with foreign policy. Are you a member of the Young Republicans? It's like I'm talking to Lee Atwater.
And those voters (vast majority of them) don't seem able to see what has been going on around them. Terry Anderson describes how Black people got pushed out of their neighborhoods in California
I walked through the streets of San Fran and took the public transportation a few years ago. Perhaps not coincidentally, immediately the day after I left I started feeling very sick, like some sort of very intense cold & flu combined together. I literally could not think clearly or manage to get anything done, and lost my voice and it was difficult to speak because my throat hurt. Was probably something I picked up on the public transportation in the city. It was really bad, not an ordinary flu. And before this I hadn't been sick in years.
Well, that depends on the president... There's even a statue of Bill Clinton in the capital of Kosovo, James. Do you honestly think the Kosovars would erect a monument to Clinton's amorality? It seems to me that they must have found something - dare I say it? - noble in his foreign policy. I feel like I'm talking to the person responsible for crafting Obama's unprincipled foreign policy. Incidentally, I was a Democrat in my youth...
I lived in San Francisco for about 5 years in the eighties, it was a wonderful place, at the time there was a huge hispanic community in the "Mission District", a thriving "Japantown", prosperous Chinatown with adjacent "Little Italy", massive and quite politically active Filipino community, the largest Greek Orthodox community outside of Athens... back then, as a student of International Relations I loved this environment. That was then, things have changed a lot, most of those people are gone, the only diversity left in San Francisco now is the homeless.
Well said, and that's why so many people who were liberals in their youth (including myself) rejected the Left when we reached adulthood. As we got older we realized that the New Left apple didn't fall far from the Old Left tree and not surprisingly the former grew into the latter like an acorn grows into an oak. The good news is that people can escape being Leftists, but the Left can't escape being itself. Like you said, it is what has always been (and will always be)...
People always make it about race cant seem to remember that ALL spending bills start in the house. The house was always controlled by democrats during Reagan. The only time the budget was almost balanced was under Republican house and senate with a democrat POTUS who fought all the way while raping an intern in the oval office.
All your "revenues" aren't stripped away. But I thought you like having wealth redistributed? Why are you talking about this is such a negative light? Btw, red states still have massive blue cities.
During the 60's and even during the 70's the talk on the streets of San Francisco was that Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters spiked the San Francisco drinking water reservoir with LSD. You look at San Francisco today, it's more than likely that they did.

Problem: has no residency laws. Meaning everyone should be required to have a registered residence. If they don't have one the homeless shelter in Fresno or Bakersfield will supply one. Which leads to problem #2, that municipalities may not enforce laws against "residency" on public places. Like the sidewalk along Venice beach. Even if the municipality wanted to evict the homeless making their city less desirable, they can't because the homeless have rights. A "right" to live - reside in Venice (Beach) California even though they can't afford to do so without being homeless. Don't blame San Francisco for homeless rights. Blame the 14th Amendments. Blame dumb ( )o( ) lawyers, judges, justices. Moi Across an immense, unguarded, ethereal border, Canadians, cool and unsympathetic, regard our America with envious eyes and slowly and surely draw their plans against us.
I'm sorry, I miss the connection to the quote. Why quote Moi? Ref.: Moi621 said: ↑ Problem: has no residency laws. Meaning everyone should be required to have a registered residence.
