Riots in the 1960's

[Sunshine]

Ah. Yes. The 1960s. How well I wish I could forget! Been there. Done that. Wouldn't go back.

You just gotta love all of those who just hate all the haters!

While those on the Right sit and wring their hands over some potential civil unrest, they have forgotten the motivations for the unrest of the 1960s. One motivation was the lack of civil rights protection. It seems there were social conservatives in the south unwilling to loose the reigns of power and grant African Americans the simple civil rights we take for granted today.

Another motivation was the draft. The meat grinder that was Vietnam took some of the best and brightest away to fight in that protracted and ultimately unwinnable war. Imagine if we had a draftee military today. Would people sit back and be as relatively indifferent to the two, protracted and ultimately unwinnable wars in Iraq and Afghanistan after ten years of combat and loss?

Those conservatives you speak of back in the 60s were Democrats. They couldn't keep the Civil Rights law from passing so now they are attempting to control the blacks by convincing them they can't be successful and they need THEM (the Democrats) to take care of them. The blacks who ignore this advice and make something of themselves are Republican.[/QUOTE

Actually, while you're trying (and failing) to revise history. Those dems you speak of, are now the states that are red. Check your history. Texas, mississippi, alabama, georgia, you name a red one I can tell you when it was blue. (Special note) The dems used to be known as the party of the KKK. I can just see Harry Reid in a klan robe now. OY

Whose rewriting history? The Dixiecrats are now Republicans; and today's Republicans are RINO's if one compares their values today to those held by Abe, TR & IKE.

The thread is about how socialism has failed. Not about the content of the clips posted.
It has to do with how Liberals have disrespect for private or public property.
When Dem's protest they are not peaceful, they are violent and destructive.
Even when it is peaceful they throw trash on the ground.
It's about Big Government having control over us all.

These are the very same people that is in the house and senate right now and are Liberal Dem's.
Lead by Al Sharpton and Rev. Jackson back in the 60's

WASHINGTON, D.C. ENGINE CO. 4, "1960's" - YouTube

The film is taken from actual footage of the devastation but the music is War that hit the charts in 1970.

Why do you Dem's want these hateful people representing you?
All they have ever wanted is power and control over you.

beeeecauuusse theyyyyyy ARE? umm... like....those same hateful people who support that?

Just sayin'?

You wouldn't go back? In spite of my nam tour, I would love to go back to those high spirited times, and do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight!!! I used to live down in New Port beach, Ca., and enjoy the surfing world and beach partys. Kids today are stuck on IPODs & such, never get out because there is nothing to see, nothing to do.
Hell yeah, transport me back!!!

Lyndon Johnson was certainly spot on when he said that the passage of the civil rights laws would give the GOP control of the SOUTH for generations to come, wasn't he?

Yes...they valued their segregation over party.

The 60's was a time in which young peope rebelled against the 50's style repression of women, minorites, and goody goody morality. It was naive...but they weren't hateful, controlling, evil people.

I think that conservative media has taken it's toll on your objectivity and ability to understand the motives of the people you think are terrible.

People are people....every group of ten people, in any place on the earth are the same. There will be 5 ordinary people who just want to work and live, 1 criminal, 1 saint, 1 leader, 1 dreamer, and 1 loser.

rotflmbo

we were stoned out of our minds half the time having a blast in "protests". Remember "don't do the purple double domes"?

We were not noble. We were led by the nose by the ring of liberal leftist whack jobs that controlled the media and still do to this day.

For crying out loud I can't beleive for one minute you actually believe the crap you just posted.

"50's style" repression. kma.

What a joke.

Look for those of us who were far more serious, involved in more radical situations, it was going against "the man".

For me, it was the draft. But then you got into some really radical shows like Angie Davis who now looks mild compared to Karenga.

Hells bells I loved the 60's.

I'd repeat those days in a heartbeat. It was freedom to come alive. To rock on. To love.

To live. To just have a blast and enjoy every moment of the absolute freedom we had to rock
it.

Have you ever heard of the Weather Underground or the SDS?

They only set bombs off and killed a few people, oh and robbed a bank and killed a couple cops.

But I suppose that shit was cool tho, because it's for peace and progress right?

Which is ironic considering the strong majority of the hippies are Maoists...

You ever read Prairie Fire by the Weather Underground er Bill Ayers?

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Neither Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson are in the House or the Senate.

What is wrong with you? Exactly...I'm genuinely curious.

Take me back too.

Even though we appear to be on opposite ends of the spectrum these days (disclaimer I've only seen some of your posts so don't kill me on this) I'd go back in a heartbeat.

No matter what side of any issue anyone was on one could discuss it without the new bullsit of neener neener you have cooties they bring a knife we bring a gun childish and hollywood rhetoric of today.

you are a fucking moron. you should be banned from making threads on here if this is how you go about doing it.
you are just embarrassing

Oh shut the fuck up...

It gets quite annoying when progressives don't accept responsibility for their behavior.

You motherfuckers are violent little freaks that would riot at the drop of a dime.

You're inspired by the Weather Underground and SDS...... You have nothing but respect and praise for asshats like Bill Ayers..

If there was a thread right now bashing Ayers you would be in it defending him and his domestic terrorist thugs.

here comes captain stupid

I'm not the one denying progressives riot and set bombs off killing themselves and others.

Then you have the audacity to call me stupid when you're fucking ignorant or just in denial?

 

[Mr.Nick]

Here is a fantastic example of stupid rich progressives in the 60's and 70's..

Greenwich Village townhouse explosion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm glad those asshats didn't have a chance to procreate.

i wasnt alive during the 60's and 70's dumbass. That being said you are talking out of your ass once again.

Not really sure what my personal responsibility has to do with all this?

BTW Tiny dancer isnt a liberal. It would be wise to educate yourself about people before saying stupid things.

Oh wait i forgot who i was talking to, you hate education.

Doesn't matter - you're denying progressives riot and commit terrorist acts in the name of political ideology.

Also, I wouldn't call a person who looks back at being a hippie with fondness a conservative.

 

[Ernie S.]

Are you telling us that you're going to assassinate Obama?

do you even have a brain at all?

Yes, but apparently you don't.

Those riots were a reaction to the assassination of MLK.

Maybe you should try to explain your point a little better.

And then explain who in congress was involved in the riots.

So King got shot and it's OK for people to burn cities? Did the same people riot when John or Robert Kennedy was shot?

Peach's assessment is correct.

what rights where JFK trying to ban?

there is a difference in why people reacted to each slaying differently.

Lets strip you of some rights and see how well you react, when the person who is advocating for you is shot down.

Their Riots are understandable to say the least.

I protest peacefully. At TEA Party rallies, I hold a flag. At military funerals, I hold a flag. I also protest at the voting booth. I do not set fire to cars and buildings.

i am? where am i denying such things? What i am saying is your silly little broadbrush isnt going to work here.

Like i said you are a racist because someone back in history hanged a black man, but also held your views on life.

Your shifting your argument in order to paint me as something i am not.
This is you:
The sky is blue and you thinking its not blue makes you dumb.
Me: the sky is blue
You:
your still wrong, i said its blue!

Tiny isnt a conservative either....But liking the 60's doesnt make her a progressive pro weather underground person either.

Your lack in education and rational is sad.

You just called a poster "stupid" for pointing out facts.

It's you that rationalizes with whatever jibes with your stupidity - all progressives have that problem so you're not unique with that mental disorder.

So the next time someone says progressives riot and commit domestic terrorism in the name of their political philosophy you better not call a person "stupid" for making that assertion because its TRUE...

Just because you're ignorant doesn't mean truth stops where your education or knowledge does.

I suppose if you don't know it and if you don't agree with it - its a lie and those making the claims are "stupid" because you're ignorant??
