Maybe Hunter Thompson. When Tariq Trotter brought The Roots in the late 90s, I had some hope, but PM is correct. The Hippies have won.<br /><br />That said, we can still be the party of Lincoln. We just need a little Lincoln-esque direction. Today, we're just pissed off, pissed on people howling at the moon in a dystopia of bullshit, greed, and magical thinking.MarKThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17580870727650088197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-13418987163946454142013-03-23T12:12:28.304-07:002013-03-23T12:12:28.304-07:00Well, yeah, they are no longer the party of Lincol...Well, yeah, they are no longer the party of Lincoln; that party is no longer there -- it's wall to wall Democrat nation; just like the hippies always wanted it to be.<br /><br />And while they have a point bitching about bad rap music, it does show how clueless they are that they don't know or refuse to know the good rap music (which is very listenable to, as well as witty)...which means their point is kinda lost because it's more of the stopped clock variety rather than grasping an actual truth (after all, bad rap was made for their kids -- not anyone else's).<br />Same thing happens with country/western too: they know all about the shitty crap (and maybe some historical discography, to show how cultured they are) -- but the really good stuff? No freaking clue.<br />And take a gander at some of the crap those sites spew about what they perceive to be poor "white trash"...aka. "low information voters", aka. rednecks and hillbillies. They are freaking hateful, and they are allowed to get away with it.<br />This, by the way, is why I am always pointing out that they do not get to claim "hillbilly" status -- this is the country club set (even the low rent country club). And they make damn sure that certain types of folks are not invited (except as the help or when votes are needed)...and then they wonder why nobody votes for their prom king or why nobody really likes them.<br /><br />You'd think the answer would be pretty clear...but apparently it ain't.<br /><br />PW<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
