Those weathermen were really cool! I didn’t realize how successful they were until I watched the documentary on them last night. They blew up alot of pig offices, which is what we should be doing now….

You know it’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything from some of the 60s radicals. Weathermen were the worst bunch, and the most dangerous, because they were the violent homegrown “jihadists” of the anti-war movement of the time. Don’t get me wrong here, I came of age during this period and ran across anti-war activists who were acquainted with Weathermen and others.

Some I am told (like Ayers), were violent thrill-seekers behind the scenes who directed the violent activities of others, yet didn’t participate in the actual violence because they were thinking of their lives beyond the 60s.

And while I don’t condone murdering people in the name of justice (which is what our government has done and continues to do in wars and conflicts all over the world), I find Ayers’ ilk to be the most reprehensible because they have neither the courage nor the stomach for their convictions. They are A- Class bullies – so dangerous because they will urge others to undertake their violent ideas and impulses and find countless sociopathic ways to justify and/or excuse their behaviors.

Fuck Richard Nixon.

I smile every time I think of him because I know he is dead and I am alive. It’s all good.

Seem like a thread of the mentality happening today.

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We’d all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We’d all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know that you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright

Peace baby

I might add politicansnad businessmen trying to steal a democracy also brings about a revolution, by the people.

Uniquely American.

generally you get a revolution, rather than childish games, when the food runs out. Hyperinflation is another way that a revolution happens.

I mean, Vietnam was really bad. It even ruined that guy’s acid trip.

Yeah, a real bummer. Maybe we should lobby the United Nations to make that a crime against humanity.

Why is sex always at the core of these revolutions? Sort of like those polygamists who claim they are told by God to marry the lithe, sixteen year old next door. Shockingly, He never tells them to marry the hairy, sixty year old widow up the street. I guess this is what happens when we put men in charge of our cults: first on the agenda is always going to be an orgy.

And look at Ayers, et al now: bloated, upper middle class college professors reminiscing about the good ol’ days. They could appear in the dictionary under “The Man.” It would be laughable if they weren’t still so convinced that they were not the very thing they despised all those years ago.

It seems obvious to me that Obama has some “anti establishment” leanings, where will this lead us, I don’t know. I think him gravely naive if he can “change” DC with this ideology. Is he going to go negative? Use inspiration to change?

I guess in this same spirit, it’s okay to kill doctors who perform abortions if you feel that they are wrong. Or rob banks, or terrorize people.

I mean, Vietnam was really bad. It even ruined that guy’s acid trip. “Organizational piracy” sounds about like what’s happening to the democratic party right now. The elitist Obamites vs the working class. What a spin. At least they’re not using sex at the core of their “revolution.” (Probably not by choice; let’s be honest, most of the guys pimpling the “progressive” blogs these days wouldn’t be so furious but for the fact that no woman in her right mind would screw them)
