The Modern Democratic Party Was Born Out Of The Sixties Drug Culture

[BluesLegend]

No the modern Dem party was born in a DNA lab gone wrong.

No, atheism is not a religion. A conviction is not necessarily religious.
In the OP you also wrote about the Democratic Party's foundation, "It is a self-destructive movement where nothing is sacred ..." The word "sacred" implies that the Democrats are anti-religion. Besides, your analysis, such as it is, is incorrect. The modern Democratic Party was not born out of drug addiction in the 1960s but from Lyndon Johnson's civil rights program which lost the former confederate states to the Republicans and transformed the Democratic Party into the choice of liberal Americans.

I disagree. Atheism is a philosophy, a belief system. You cannot prove it is right. Religion is a philosophy, a belief system. Religion cannot prove it is right either. The only real difference is the underlying belief; atheism believes the universe came about by accident. Religion purports that the universe came about as part of a supreme plan. Atheism views the universe as an impersonal object. Religion views the universe as a personal being / consciousness.

The word "sacred" implies nothing other than what is important to the underlying group.

 

[PoliticalChic]

The 40's and the end of WWII gave rise to unprecedented prosperity of the Middle Class.

The 50's gave rise to a movement of rebelliousness and questioning old dogma.

The 60's gave rise to psychedelic drugs, free love, and the counter culture where anti-American sentiment began to be taught. It was an era of depravity and societal decay. It was out of this that the modern democrat liberal progressive was born.

As they grew up, they took positions of authority and education, gradually swaying our society to where many of their new deal doctrines were interwoven into the thinking gradually until accepted and normalized.

Today, we are reaping the results of that social experiment, an age where the revolutionaries are no longer just rioting and burning in the streets, but figuratively in the halls of government, media and universities. Where is it unacceptable to NOT think like them. Where it is acceptable to believe our Founders and nation are actually the cause of the world's problems rather than its salvation. Where pipe tobacco is restricted but marijuana is sold openly in stores. Where half the country no longer takes care of itself but lives off government programs and its productive members. It is a self-destructive movement where nothing is sacred and everything traditional is game for derision. The democratic party today no long has anything to do with the democratic party of even 30 years ago, it is the unraveling of a generation built upon self-loathing and contempt for itself turned outward on everything it touches.

The modern liberal is angry, but they cannot even tell you what they are angry over. In culture, they weaken the family unit, so what are they good for? Used in the military, they weaken our defense. Used in industry, they weaken the economy. Used in education, they weaken the young mind. Used in Journalism, they misinform and mislead the populace. What is left for them than to either live off the public dole or to get jobs working in government as politicians, social workers, etc., where incompetence is both tolerated and protected, they weaken the entire nation.

It is a generation of defectives and malcontents that we are stuck with until we outgrow them and a newer, better generation comes in to replace them.

In their own words:

The unrest of the sixties was born in June of 1962 at the AFL-CIO camp at Port Huron, Michigan.

Some prior rumblings had been heard in a nascent civil rights movement, and from the Free Speech movement at Berkeley- but it was the Port Huron meetings that represented the heart of Sixties radicalism.

1. Port Huron was an early convention of SDS, a small group of alienated, left-wing college students, 59 from 11 campuses.

2. One member gave this prescription: “four-square against anti-Communism, eight-square against American-culture, twelve-square against sell-out unions, one hundred and twenty against an interpretation of the Cold War that saw it as a Soviet plot and identified American policy fondly.”
Todd Gitlin, “The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage,” p. 109-110

3. A draft of the meeting can be found at http://www.h-net.org/~hst306/documents/huron.html. It sets forth an agenda for changing human nature, the nation, and the world. In it, one can hear the ignorance and arrogance so inherent in adolescents: the euphoria due to being convinced of their own wisdom, moral purity, and ability to change everything.

I agree with your assessment. I have argued that very point in the religion threads. Science as it's used in the most simplistic terms has provided zero proof on higher intelligence and the assumption that a few primates on an insignificant rock orbiting a minor star have locked the secret of life within two centuries seems beyond arrogant.
Atheism makes the assumption that science killed God. Given the scientific nature of our universe this God or higher intelligence would in turn be a scientist. Many scientists have not become Atheists as they also see a design element within the natural world. We can't even explain this missing matter in the universe.

I for one have too many more questions for the cosmic accident theory.

Amputate Both Wings of the HeirHead Vulture

This planned decadence originated in, was led by, and was financed by the spoiled-putrid brats of the 1%. A perfect example, which we're not allowed by the plutocrats to make anything out of, was the degenerate behavior of JFK's nephews. A 50s precursor was Holden Caulfield, a temporary prep-school runaway who set a bad example because of the way his Daddy's class's media represented him as typical of teenagers from all classes. Birth privileges are an aggressive cancer that must be surgically removed if society is to survive. The alternative you are so obviously preaching for, the Right Wing of the Preppy Republic, metastasized into Greedhead looters, outsourcers, and Chickenhawks. Somehow we're supposed to let them get away with their equally decadent rule because they didn't turn into Leftists.

How could hippies have been given positions of authority and influence unless Daddy's Money preordained them to be on top, no matter what they did to wreck their individual value? The slime that oozed out of the plutocrats' trophy wives flowed in two streams, but you bootlickers only mention the one on the Left.

You can be religious without thinking that the world was created just 10,000 years ago, etc., etc., etc. Some stuff simply cannot be interpreted literally and must be assumed metaphorically. You can also be religious and be fully compliant with current thinking on quantum physics, dark matter, etc. There is nothing in the Standard Model of particle physics that says that its creation came about as either a random infinite string of chances in an infinite number of universes or was the result of intelligent design. Your choice.

Drumpf was a draft dodger, not for any moral reason, but because he wanted very much free love (of the sexual kind). He's not a hippie though, just an idiot.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

No, I think you've missed the chain of events. The free-loving malcontents of the 60's and 70's resented power that they did not control. So they have now reached the point in which they would have had the wisdom to govern, but in reality, they just want the power.

Point well taken. I was trying for brevity for a change so just left it as the "counter-culture," but you describe the situation beautifully.

Make Every Dynasty Die Nasty

Don't take self-description seriously. Those who pretended to be "counter-culture" represented the hereditary plutocracy America was becoming dominated by. Its brownnosing class-climbing flunkies don't count. If anything, the Preppy Progressives feared the culture of working-class democracy that was being smothered and quickly vanishing. The 1960 election had two candidates who never would have been anything except for the money-value of their families: JFK and Nixon's designated running mate, Henry Cabot Lodge, descended from five Senators, going back to 1835.

Populists Must Overthrow Both Branches of This UnAmerican Aristocracy

This whole digression on religion is evading the question, "Who were the hippies?" The prep school their leader, Abbie Hoffman, went to costs $35,000 a year. Postmodern Liberalism has always been a subconscious trick to sucker people into voting for the Right Wing it was born in.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

And the KKK. Bill Clinton's mentor:

J. William Fulbright - Wikipedia

James William Fulbright (April 9, 1905 – February 9, 1995) was a United States Senator representing Arkansas from January 1945 until his resignation in December 1974. Fulbright is the longest serving chairman in the history of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. A Southern Democrat and a staunch multilateralist who supported the creation of the United Nations, he was also a segregationist who signed the Southern Manifesto...

Also Sam Ervin of North Carolina.

Actually, you meant to say most of the GOP, most of the trumpkins, as well as the cheeto himself.

Another thing you nutters have in common is that none of you take responsibility for your own words and actions.

Every day another ridiculous idea. Anything not to focus on the Russian Trump treason investigations.
How come you never focus on the corrupt Republican Party?
Bias all day long for you.

Fuck the prudes!

-I'll never stop watching porn
-Smoking pot
-Dressing up as a girl
-Listening to rock in roll
-Screaming fuck!
-And fucking

Freedom baby! Don't like it, well, get the fuck out of this country.

Nobody is saying you can't do that. But pay for your own porn, pot, dresses and music. Scream fuck all you want just don't be surprised when not many people want to hang out with the stoned tranny with Tourette's.

Maybe fucking is a career move for you. Who knows. Oh wait capitalism knows. Maybe you get rich or maybe not. Depends on your skills.
