MCMLXV

With the average age of a Fox News viewer being about 65 years - why would one expect Teabaggers to come to the conclusion that their old way isn't our way?
If one is just coming into adulthood at twenty years of age - 1965 was the height of these old folks' youthful exuberance.
Enjoying the benefits from WWII and having not yet felt the sting of Vietnam or the end of Segregation - at that point in their lives, many imagined that they really mattered.
Am I shocked that recent protests have engendered racist comments being thrown at Black lawmakers?
Nope, this generation was raised to do so.

No one had to watch a group of fat Black women walk across the stage while watching the Oscars.
Back in the day - The von Trapp family and Julie Andrews were all the rage in The Sound Of Music..

Back in the day - The Celtics could still win NBA titles with a mostly white team.

Back in the day - Sonny Bono was considered "Italian" while his wife Cher was considered a "Half-Breed".
(Even these two weren't good enough to be white yet.)

Back in the day - It took a white LB Johnson to recognize the rights of all people.
You see, many Teabaggers don't really wish to return to the past - (Like a baby crying for the milk of his mama's tiddie) Most just long for the glory days of state approved racism and a culturally approved Anglophilia.
Most Teabaggers are just afraid of the changes that come with growing up.
