San Francisco in the 1960s was headquarters for this country’s worst generation.

To me, flower-power-people were a terrible reaction to the Best Generation who fought WWII as surely as Fascism was a reaction to Communism. The touchy-feely know-nothing crowd actually got their theme song —— and life philosophy —— from a Coca Cola commercial:
Anybody thinking about defending the “wonderful hippies” in the ‘60s should first take a close look at what those people did to everybody else. They might start with San Francisco that created Nancy Pelosi although she was born in Maryland. Nutso took to Frisco’s freakazoids like a duck takes to water as though she smoked grass and marched with them when they were on the front lines saving the world.
As horrible as Pelosi is if you had to name a poster child for the 1960s Madalyn Murray O’Hair wins hands down. To knew about Murray when she was a happening is a review of everything that went wrong with this country. Having lived through it I do not need this movie:
I talked about Madalyn Murray on message before I came to USMB. Here are a few of those comments from messages on this board:

Finally, there is straight line that runs from Karl Marx’s hatreds to early American Socialists, to Madalyn Murray, to today’s top Democrats, to young Americans who are falling for Bernie Sanders. Communism’s line is made of hatred —— hatred of God, hatred of religion hatred of capitalism. In simple terms, the Communist/Socialist religion needs hatred to survive.
p.s. Islam is the only other major religion that feeds on hatred of everything except its own ideology.

There was a time when Madalyn Murray O’Hair, founder of American Atheists, was “The Most Hated Woman in America,” as the title of a new movie about her life and death declares.
Netflix released its biographical film about the outspoken atheist on Friday to mixed reviews, but there is one major problem – the movie is full of errors, omissions and distortions, according to O’Hair’s only surviving son, William J. Murray.
Perhaps the biggest omission, according to Murray, was the lack of mention of his mother’s affiliation with the Communist Party and her attempted defection to the Soviet Union when William was a child. Murray goes into detail about the attempted defection in “My Life Without God,” and in one of his newer books, “Utopian Road to Hell,” he dissects the “magic think” that led his mother to believe a Marxist utopian society could be created on Earth.

I talked about Madalyn Murray on message before I came to USMB. Here are a few of those comments from messages on this board:
As I remember San Francisco in the sixties The Realist was the Hippie Bible. Nobody, except the courts, took contributors like Madalyn Murray and Lennie Bruce seriously. Murray was a nut job, and Bruce was the best standup comic of the day putting everybody on. You took them for what they were.
Anyway, here’s the link to The Realist’s archives for anybody who wants to read about the Left’s concerns in the 1960s:

I wonder how many young Americans rooting for Hillary Clinton and/or Bernie Sanders know this lady:

Madalyn Murray O’Hair (1919 - 1995)
In the early 1960s, a handful of parents concerned about the separation of church and state convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to ban organized prayer in public schools and then outlaw school-sponsored Bible reading. Or so the story goes.
One man who was behind the scenes at the time says there were far more nefarious motives involved.
“People do not understand what the real case was about to remove prayer from public schools,” William J. Murray told WND. “They think it’s about separation of church and state, and it was not about separation of church and state.”

Murray said it was “a hatred for God and a hatred for capitalism” that motivated his mother to file the lawsuit.

Murray described his mother as a utopian.
He said she thought she and her Marxist-atheist friends, being the smartest people around, could devise a system on Earth that would equal Heaven. Therefore, his mother had no need for God, for capital, nor for any kind of competition.
“She was basically an avowed Marxist, a utopian, . . .

This is partly because Murray still sees many utopians today who wish to turn America into a totalitarian, centrally planned system, just like his mother did years ago.

“Parental authority ends at the schoolhouse door.” Had that ruling been applied to Madalyn Murray all of those years ago she would not have entered the schoolhouse all the way to the Supreme Court.

The education system Madalyn Murray & Company set in motion is definitely out of whack on every level. The only way to fix it is to stop funding every religion, but not before Socialism is legally defined as a religion. Traditional religions will manage if the First Amendment is enforced, while Socialism will fade away when its priests have to promote their Communist garbage on voluntary contributions rather than live on coerced tax dollars.
My God, we would never allow any traditional organized religion to force us into supporting its priesthood in high style, yet we do just that with Socialism. The worst of it is that Socialists do not serve their flock as traditional priests often do. Socialist/utopians do not serve they enslave.

Socialists always insist on “Separation of church and state.” —— except when it means separating their own state-sponsored church from the public feed tub. Socialists are not as smart as Madalyn Murray & Company thought, but they were smart enough to know that without tax dollar tithing Socialism’s ideology/religion would be nothing more than a cult populated by wannabe parasites and coffee house radicals trolling for naive females to impress.
In my lifetime, I think I’ve read everything from grand philosophical pontificating to Madalyn Murray’s ranting back in the sixties, and on into today’s interpretations.

Madalyn Murray was a vicious utopian/Marxist. Nobody, except the courts, took her seriously in the 1960s. Maybe the Sanders/Clinton crowd might take their saviors seriously if this sign appears every time either, or both, show up:
