Amazing video of college students who are becoming aware of Obama's deceitful rule.
If I were a college student today, I'd be rioting over this horrible administration stealing my future. I'd hate the baby boomer generation. I wonder if 2016 will lead to student unrest. |
That would be great, but there is one problem standing in their way, their teachers and/or professors, and we all know where the majority of them stand, shoulder to shoulder with mac. |

Shoulder to shoulder, rooted in the real world. Science and facts. |

Do tell Iso, what bucolic college(s) did you attend from '61-'67?
Quiet, peaceful, respectful period? More life according to Iso:
Kennedy elected (Catholic)
Bay of Pigs invasion
Vietnam War
Cuban Missile Crisis
Martin Luther King - March on Washington - "I have a dream"
Women's liberation movement begins
Kennedy assassinated
Gulf of Tonkin incident
President Johnson proposes the Great Society (which Iso should have been demonstrating against)
Civil Rights Act
Anti-war marches in Washington, D.C.
Voting Rights Act
Medicaid and Medicare enacted
Malcolm X assassinated
Watts Riot lasts six days due to racial issues.
Feminist group National Organization for Women (NOW) formed
Muhammad Ali refused to go to war
Detroit race riot precipitates the "Long Hot Summer of 1967", when race riots erupt in 159 cities nationwide.
The "Summer of Love" embodies the growing counterculture, with the Monterey Pop Festival and Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)" among the highlights. |

Generally better with drones than with armies, IMO. |
