Today’s stinky hippies ain’t like the old stinky hippies
So says Ted Nugent in the usual column at the WaTimes. Worth adding — Nugent has always hated all “stinky hippies,” claims to the opposite in the column notwithstanding.
Today’s young Americans have nothing in common with the counterculture generation of young Americans who marched, protested and brawled with Chicago’s finest at the Democratic National Convention in 1968 …
These intellectually shallow socialists think that by stripping the wealthy of their hard-earned wealth, somehow, maybe magically, fairness will spread across the land, more free stuff will appear, and the Age of Aquarius finally will be ushered in on a peaceful wave of socialism.
What dopes. These unsophisticated lambs are being led to the slaughter — not by the “nasty and greedy??? Wall Street bankers but by their hero, President Obama, and his gang of Cloward-Piven America-haters.
“Our wayward young socialists should be reminded that businessmen will create opportunities for today’s young people …” adds Nugent.
If there was any socialism on display when Barack Obama took the stage last night, I missed it. There was a big middle section in the speech, all boilerplate about mining for more fossil fuel, and a mention of “entrepreneurs” at least once. But perhaps I imagined the latter. (No, didn’t dream it.)
The Cloward-Piven America Haters. Sounds like a good name for an underground band.
John Sinclair, manager of the MC5, and one of the original “stinky hippies,” according to Nugent, describing the scene around the Grande Ballroom in Detroit in the Sixties:
JOHN SINCLAIR: That’s what it was like back then … everybody smoked, nobody snitched, everyone was cool — except for Ted Nugent. He was not cool, always an asshole, everybody hated him (laughs).
