THE 60S ARE BACK! | 2006-04-11
I am driving up to Charlotte today to do a TV interview.
In talking to the reporter, it hit me that today we do not have a repeat of the sixties, this is the sixties all over again.
Public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of at least tightening the borders. Nobody denies that. So the marches in the news, gigantic, titanic mearches, are in favor of opening the borers.
That is EXACTLY the way it was inthe 1960s.
Everybody is terrified that if they object to open borders, they will be accused of being naziswhowanttokillsixmillionjews.
That is exactly the way it was in the sixties.
Nobody DARES stage a counterdemonstration because the mefdia are always shouting about racism, but the real thugs, as everybody knows, are on the "anti-racist" side.
The sixties again.
The campus bombers were all on the left back then. Any objector to anything labeled "civil rights" was in physical danger. Speakers who did not toe the politically correct line were driven off of campuses and off of the streets. But all the media talked about was the Klan and the Nazis and the Holocaust and dangers of racism.
Which is the 1960s again.
The thugs and the illegals get a free pass from the press. They are heroes.
Even Columbia's slavishly liberal chain-owned newspaper had a weak dissent. A cartoon showed a typical committee chairman in Washington saying, "We can't round up millions of illegal aliens. We can't even FIND the."
Meanwhile one member of the committee was looking out of the window at thousands of illegal aliens marching with signs.
So we can either worry about dead dictators or live issues.
