We've fucking been there and felt the club and tear gas of conservative oppression and fucking third way centrist corporate enabling of the destruction of the 60's and 70's revolution of equality for all.
And that's why we still identify ourselves as LIBERALS first democrats second.
Many of us were forced to fight for our county while others got deferments through wealth and connections.
Many of us were neck deep politically in sweeping changes we publicly demanded from our and institutions and put our lives in jeopardy doing it.
WE HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO QUESTION EVERYTHING...!
What these little piss ant punks can't see or choose to ignore...is that history is repeating itself...
It is as if the fucking government and corporations have merged again like the 50's to the detriment of society as a whole and BABY if its not oppressed worse than they tried in the 60's LIBERALISM and the demand for rights and freedoms will rise exponentially again!
What these little "know it alls" believe is WE have had our time grandpa and grandma and that we are stupid and in the way...at least that is how they come off to me...
I have news for these kids...we know more about what is happening in the world and the politic of today than they EVER could...they are babies in the world crying "look at me look at me I once took a class in polysci so I'm smart"
Horse shit...
Go stand on the ellipse with a picket sign demanding change and see if you can get others to join you to change our government and the world...if not...
Well their opinions are no more worthy than our own and some may be worth a bucket of piss and no more...
Until the time they decide to purge us "old folks" I will continue to voice my opinions and proceed to ignore the ignorant.
