“No, 1968 never really ended for some of these folks.”

As someone born in 1981, I agree — on both sides. And it’s “sad” when people like John McCain feel they can revive it by putting tie-dyed imagery to connect Hillary Clinton to some minor squabble over a Woodstock museum or listen to Hugh Hewitt go through another clipped interview with an “MSM” journalist, trying to avenge his old boss Richard Nixon’s downfall.

I don’t care about your kulturkampf anymore than I care about old hippies.

Aside from the fact that George Wallace wasn’t shot dead, but rather paralyzed, the article is very persuasive.

I agree entirely. I graduated from high school in ’68. My impression is that ’68 was the year “the party” started. “The party” was a state of things (which my generation saw as an entitlement) where drugs, sex and rock ‘n roll were available without ceasing. That, I think, was the real reason for the anti-war movement. The war was an interruption in the party (plus, the drugs, sex & r&r feel even better after you’ve stuck it to the pigs and escaped). For many of my generation, the party still goes on. Yeah, they’ve taken on some responsibilities, but only the responsibilities they want, responsibilities that sustain the ongoing party. As we age, it will be the government’s job, more and more, to host the party.
