By "60's shit" you mean yippies as opposed to hippies I gather.

I think you are right....regretfully.
I was hoping, and it seems Obama and others are still hoping, that good will, reaching out, trying to listen and compromise will work in this day of screaming assholes on the radio and FAUX News network.

I might add that humor is another weapon that the left has. Every great (actually funny) political comedian past present and, I would hazard a guess, in the future, are decidedly coming from the left. Why? because they are observers and students of society. IE: when one takes the time to actually see how the world works and what is the truth, and one has human empathy, one naturally veers to the left on issues.

But yeah, I'd say in this day and age, we need more brave outspoken and brash progressives to counter the overwhelming cascade of diarrhea pouring from the right side. In fact we need a few to actually exaggerate charges against the right like they always do to us, so that we can watch them sputter and twist and get red in the face and, like us, are too busy defending themselves to wreak more damage. Fire with fire.
