Indeed the truth.

When you examine the 50s vs. today, this is one conclusion(of many) that can be surmised from this: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I think the idea of what he was typing was to look at the cartoon, and then leave the reader to his own imagination. I was able to get it.

OVER 7,000 addict students in NY NY high schools in 1953.

City Youth Addicts Estimated at 7,500 - NY Times November 25, 1953

That doesn't include pot.

the hotlinked cartoon feeds the stereotype you want to be true, so of course you 'get it.'

yet my question still went unanswered.

why was 'take back America' a fine and good thing when obama was involved, but a horrific, 'racist' thing mere years later?

seems odd.

"an educated if conservative guess."?

well, that's pretty convincing.

the part you failed to include:

Her testimony before a Senate Judiciary subcommittee investigating juvenile delinquency clashed with that of Harry J. Anslinger, Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. He testified yesterday that New York youths under 21 years old, known by police to be users, numbered only 748 for 1952. His figure for the entire country came to 3,616 for 1952.

If I remember correctly "Take Back America" was about taking America back from extremists who wanted to pervert the essence of our nation. Our nation is SUPPOSED to be about respect for all, opportunity for all and equality. There are certain factions that are wholly opposed to these ideas and will stop at nothing to achieve these insipid goals.

Love of country and God and our religious freedom. Seems we are going in the other direction to our detriment. I miss "Father Knows Best" all the men on TV comedies now are goofballs. Sad.


WASHINGTON, DC (CNSNews.com) - On Thanksgiving week in 1954, NBC aired a holiday-themed "Father Knows Best" that ended with the family praying before their meal, including thanking God "for the privilege of living as free men in a country which respects our freedom and our personal rights to worship and think and speak as we choose."
The Nov. 21, 1954 show featured the Anderson family: Jim and Margaret and their three children, Betty, Bud and Kathy.

In the program, the family decided to forgo a Thanksgiving meal because of scheduling conflicts. But in the end, the parents and children decide that sitting down to a Thanksgiving meal together is the best way to celebrate.

I never knew anyone who had a perfect family like this. Tv shows are not real life. In real life Robert Young was an alcoholic

and if i remember correctly - and i do - this was exactly the same argument given 3-4 short years later. but suddenly that argument was abominable and 'racist'
