Since 1969, when young Americans scurried off to Woodstock to have sex, smoke grass, and burn their draft cards, it has become somehow ingrained in American society that liberalism is some cool, hip, renegade, individualist movement that separates and distinguishes oneself from the rest of stale, conservative, traditional, and unintelligent America.   The modern, institutionalized ideal that “rebelling” is some noble mark of individual achievement can be tethered to this time, no matter how mucPosted: September 22, 2009 8:54 pm Eastern By Jerome R.

On November 18, 1931, Japanese troops staged a fake railroad explosion in southern Manchuria and used this "attack" on Japanese interests to justify invading Manchuria. Once upon a time, there had to actually be a violent act against you to justify going to war. Or at least a staged one, like the explosion of the U.S.S.

What is being done differently among both races in this country? Sadly, very little. Unfortunately race is still very much an issue in this country, but not in the way a liberal might think.
