It's like liberals just "sold out" and surrendered.
In the 1960's the young people rose up and protested AGAINST the govt.
They didn't believe in what we were doing in Vietnam and didn't trust the govt. for shit.
Where are the Abbie Hoffman's of today?
These days it seems that the "progressive" movement is just rubber stamping with approval any and everything the govt. does.
And anybody that stands up to the govt. is "right wing" and a "gun nut" (not that a lot of them aren't...but I"m just saying why aren't the liberals in there standing up against the govt. as well?)
We need some REAL progressives and liberals to stand up like the liberal youth movement of the 1960's did.
They would be ashamed of this new breed of elitist, govt. loving liberal.
At least that's my opinion.
Even though I was born too late to be a "hippy"...I am 100% in tune with a lot of what they believed in as far as wanting to be free and not trusting the govt like some kind of sheep.

Did you miss the whole Occupy movement. It wasn't perfect by far and much of the stuff they protested about was fairly ridiculous, however you can not deny that it wasn't largely a liberal movement and they were very much against what the govt was doing and the govt beat the shit out of them. All you rightward thinking types couldn't get over yourselves laughing and calling them names even supporting the cops whom beat them up.
