What has happened to Liberals?

I'm glad to see comedians and entertainers attacking Liberals now. They are the new 1950's conservative thought police. What has happened to Liberals? What happened to the 1960’s fun loving people that were all about sex, drugs, and rock n roll? They practically invented Free Speech at Berkeley and now they’re adamantly against it. They went from passing joints at Woodstock, having sex in public parks, protesting Nam, and just being free spirited fun loving people to smug, arrogant, campus elitist, fuckin bloggers, and vultures who’s only goal is to make everyone else’s life a living hell that doesn’t share their opinion or behaves in a manor they approve of. I used to picture a Liberal as some guy who drove a Volkswagen Van, loved surfing and beach campfires, and would tell stories how he got abducted by grey aliens after dropping acid at a Jefferson Airplane Concert which is a cool and interesting thing to tell people. They’re nothing like that now. It’s some doofus schmuck in a Tweed Jacket who speaks like Mr. Van Dreesen from Beavis & Butthead. Liberal thought policing and Political Correctness is ruining everything fun about this country and has reached a point of insanity. It's embarrassing. As a social Liberal myself it’s sad to see the direction this party has gone. We traded Jimmy Hendrix for Al Sharpton, We traded Janis Joplin and Grace Slick for Sally Kohn and Rachel Maddow, we traded Cocaine for Rogaine, we traded camping out on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial for grass fed-organic-gluten free tartar control cat food for senior citizen cats. It's fucking embarrassing. What a vulturous group of people.

The counter culture and utopian society of the 60's was an illusion (although the music was pretty good). For me I found what I was looking for and real with my Christian faith. It has been 33 years for me in my Christian walk and I have never looked back after finding the reality I was looking for. I think some who were disillusioned and became Christians became a good force in the Church bringing in new ideas and idealism such as street ministries, contemporary Christian music and getting the church out of the four walls and into the community.

What happened to Liberals is that they are not what Liberals used to be/stand for. Or at least the people that get into power have changed. But that is true of both Republicans and Democrats.

 

It's easier for voters to accept the silly notion that Democrat = Liberal and Republican = Conservative than it is to examine a politicians track record, or to have a bit of introspection.

Hippies don't exist anymore. Now just self absorbed people who spend more time texting then talking to people.

 

you're conflating modern well to do west coast liberals, people like that douchebag Steve Jobs, with actual hippy's. They still exist, and they're not texting anybody. I know this because i'm friends with them in this area.

What do you think a hippy is and what thet stand for

 

I don't have the time to explain that. Just realize that stoners and drug users are usually people who don't give a flying fuck about this world. That is the antithesis of 'real" hippy's. That stoner you saw at nelsons ledges...think he grew any of his own food? Think he goes to organic co ops when he gets the munchies from that weed? Think does shit like yoga? I mean look if you don't like hippy's you don't like hippy's I give a fuck, but at least understand what they are and what they aren't.

Cleve got it right this time.

 

Hippies were like stoners, but with a cause. Hippies...Give Peace a chance, Flower Power, anti-establishment, anti-conformist, free love, down with "the man" young people on drugs.

 

Stoners... people that just don't give a fuck on drugs.

 

 

Can anyone guess what group preceded the hippies?

No Cleve is not right now or ever. Go down there and meet the unwashed freaks. They have causes and plenty of them but they're usually too busy munching on a crunchy groove to actually do anything about it. Just like the self absorbed cocksuckers at Woodstock were.

 

By the way, jagoff, I grow my own food. That doesn't make you a hippie.
