Are we still fighting the Hippies versus Rednecks war of the 60's?
Advertisements [?]
I started out as a young redneck, drifted into hippyism, and I remember all the shout outs on the streets. Rednecks yelling 'my country, right or wrong', 'if you don't love it, leave it', etc.

Hippys yelling 'stop the war', make love not war', 'give peace a chance'. Only Nixon is now Bush, hippies are all old and tired mostly, rednecks are in ascendance, and redneck chic is coming on strong.

William Bennett used to date Janis Joplin, now he's the fattest redneck scumbag in the world and on the Bush's payroll, spewing false virtues, and piling up gambling debts.

The hippys had to get drafted and go and fight while the redneck politicians son's got deferments, Dick Cheney, and a whole row of draft dodging war pig chickenhawks.

Farout man, it's like real heavy karma and deja vu.

Get a haircut hippy, these colors don't run.
