Like him, I was a dedicated anti-Communist supporter of the Vietnam War in my youth. And I rooted for the police in the Chicago riots. But I always liked hippies as people. They were wrong-headed, but not wrong-hearted. Not so some of the worst of the frat boys at Chapel Hill, who had no interest in either College Democrats or College Republicans (well, maybe College Democrats, because they knew that's where their bread was buttered), or political theory and issues generally. Yet they would grow up to run America's businesses and, eventually, America's political parties. No one reminded me of these self-satisfied airheads more than George W. Bush. Perhaps Pat feels differently. Our heads usually think alike, but our hearts may be a bit different. I don't hear Barack Obama as belittling anyone. Critique his use of Marxist analysis, if you will. But don't be misled into believing that he values the worth of those steelworkers in Pennsylvania less than his admirers in San Francisco. No one would accuse George W. Bush and his friends of being that non-discriminating.William Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511237526012240319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4223398383609158624.post-72363097678171880902008-04-15T20:23:00.000-04:002008-04-15T20:23:00.000-04:00Like him or not (and I DO like him), PJB has a ref...Like him or not (and I DO like him), PJB has a refreshing perspective on lotsa things.<BR/><BR/>And he knows history.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.com
