I've gotta go with January 30th, 1968. I was there and in the sh1t and I had no idea that what had just happened was the beginning of the episode that would divide our country for such a long long time. I only hope that with the passing of the torch to a new generation of leaders, most of whom are not of my generation, we can somehow come back together.
Not after tomorrow. No more complaining, no more excuses.
One politician finding success in American politics does not mean that every barrier to minorities has been removed. What kind of idiot would think that? And yet, several people have made this comment here at C-D. I wonder what they have in common? Perhaps it is that they occupy a certain end of the political spectrum?
Id say it was the day W got re-appointed in 2004, but for conversation sake and the sake of giving him only 1 option probably him being declared president in 2000
>1 option probably him being declared president in 2000<
yet another delusion.
This is funny. Liberals, pointing to the ones in Florida. If 70,000 of you had not insisted on voting for a hard left guy with ZERO chance of winning vs. the medium left guy the results would not have even been close enough to bother recounting. Gore would have carried FL and won.
You shot yourselves in the foot. Bush is YOUR fault. And that is what is funny.
If Katherine Harris and Jeb Bush didnt deliberatly try to sabotage the elections in W's favor Gore would have won
If an idiot delegate in Palm Beach County who created the "Butterfly ballot" would have made a 1/4 comprehensible ballot Gore would have won in a landslide
Indeed, never were rebels more easily co-opted. All the big-shots had to do was end the draft (which is why this war is OK---no bourgeois college kids are being drafted to fight it) and make expensive cars "cool" by pushing German ones instead of Cadillacs. A generation that thinks buying an Audi makes a guy different in some fundamental way from a guy that buys a Buick.
Well, yeah. Because the entire point of the 60s was basically to prolong adolescence as long as possible. There really wasn't any substantial ideology behind the movement at all, just an unfocused, self-indulgent rant.
On the flip side, those sour grapes must be really sour for 19 voters to have chosen the "Bush elected in 2000" over Pearl Harbor and 9/11. More hate from the far left and whacked sense of values.
VALUES? Look at the RESULTS of this man's tenure as President!
The day Obama won followed by Pelosi winning another term.
You know, in the grand scheme of thinks, that is about as utterly stupid as someone who would vote for Bush's election.
From a historical stand point, I would be hard pressed to point to any single day of tragic days that stands head and shoulders about all the others. For me personally, it is a three way tie between the Kennedy and King assassinations and 9/11. All had far reaching repercussions, all left me stunned and speechless.
