Because "Republicans and conservatives" sin an awful lot!You notice the USMB 'liberals' mostly don't address the question asked in the OP but rather continue to dredge up and report the 'sins' of Republicans and conservatives. Why?
And your whole philosphy, is not taking responsibility for the things you did. You never blame yourself, even on shit you caused. Why would you expect us to blame someone else, for the things you did?Because to them nothing is good other than vague 'feel good' platitudes but their whole philosophy and M.O. is focused on blaming or accusing somebody else.
So you don't think the establishment is evil? Is that your point here? The establishment is not evil?Which of course is the legacy of the flower children--the establishment is evil and their fuzzy notions of light and justice and peace, achieved sometimes by violence of course, and a more virtuous world that would result by dumping all the trappings of the past and looking forward to a world of rainbows and unicorns.
So what you're saying is, "Republicans and conservatives" of today, are not to be compared to the "flower children" of 50 years ago, who were protesting their disagreement with establishment (at that time)?
mmmmm................and what was your position on Obama?
He is, after all, representing today's establishment.
Like...And yes, some of our more conservative friends do that too, but at least most will state what they do believe and want to happen in more concrete terms..
"...fuzzy notions of light and justice and peace..."
...oh yeah, that's pretty succinct!
At this point, I need to warn you, there is a (2) "fuzzy notion" limit per thread and you are at your maximum allowed usage of that term. The next one will cost you!And what they want is to allow society to better itself rather than some fuzzy notion of government engineered 'equality' or 'fairness' or control of the social order.
"...dismantling a lot of American culture..."But again, if what we now refer to as liberalism or progressivism or leftism was not allowedf to gain a foothold around the turn of the century, those flower children would never have had so much success in dismantling a lot of American culture and installing something that has been mostly detrimental in its place.
Ummm, earth to Foxfyre, "dissent" IS American culture! It's one of the principles this country was founded upon. If you are against dissent, you are against America.
What was the question?The OP asks a provocative and interesting question. Most who have made a serious effort to address it have been quickly attacked with some version of a somebody done somebody wrong song.
"How do you say no to butt stuff?"
