What happened when the Kennedy whiz-kids and the Sixties radicals took over from the old fuddy-duddies?
Those of us who were around for the Kennedy revolution of the sixties probably wonder what happened when his whiz-kids took over.Them and the sixties radicals,that is.Truth,without the guiding hand of J.F.K.things pretty much went to hell in a hand-basket.Whatever would have happened had his head moot got blown off by a bullet from the grassy-knoll?This question is a moot point since he did,leaving us at the mercy of the ’smartest’ man in the world(L.B.J.).
When Mcnamara announced a few years ago that he knew we couldn’t win he,at the very least showed himself as a turncoat,at worst a treasonouse murderer.If he knew we couldn’t win then why did he countanence sending our soldiers to fight and die for a cause he knew was lost?!Perhaps his eyes were blinded by the I’m smarter than the little people attitude that is rapidly eroding our country.Or more likely by look at all this money I get from all this heroin.
From the civil rights protest of the fifties and sixties ,the love ins,sit-ins,smoke ins,etc.We have watched as the promise of a new day bought on by the college kids who found that they could avoid the danger inherent in going to Veit-Nam by staying in school,(Or at least ahead of their draft notice.)and could become a driving force in reforming this great country.Those of us who had relatives who served there will understand that we get pissed off when the draft evaders attempt to play the ‘real hero’,even if they are President.
First they did away with prayer in school,unless you are a muslim in which case it’s alright to inflict your brand of religion on others.In forming the New World Order they have been attempting to chip away with the Constitution.Just a little bit at a time starting with the Second Amendment,which is the only reason we have the other two.In keeping with their Liberal leanings those who would support these freedoms are assailed as reactionary & told that we can trust our government.If we will just give up another freedom we will all be secure and safe under their guiding if sometimes heavy hand.As Ben Franklin said,”Those who would give up freedom for security will likely find that they have neither.”
