"Who let the dogs out" video more proof the GOP is run by old men.

[Joanne98]

Old conservative men who didn't get the message in the sixties. The same old men who are still at war with hippies.

My sister posts on a forum that has rabid republicans on it and this "our women are hotter than yours" theme comes up over and over again. But, just like Freeperville, most of the men are in their 70's.

They're stuck in the sixties. Apparently this is the reason for a lot of their crazy fixations. They're still mad that feminists attacked the Miss America contest. They're still at war with hippies even though they can't find any to fight. They still think we could have won the Vietnam war if we would have stayed another 10 years. They still blame "women's lib" for all kinds of things.

I think this is a result of the generation gap. The adults vs the kids that happened in the sixties. These old men feel like they lost that war and have been scheming to redo the battle ever since. They believe part of the reason they lost the battle was that the hippies were better looking than the elders. Remember the "beautiful people" tag. Which is ridiculous since being younger makes most people better looking than people twice their age by default. They missed the part of "beautiful people" meaning beautiful in spirit as opposed to hateful which is what they were back then and STILL are.

Anyway this "stuck in the sixties" issue is why they sound so crazy most of the time. Why we keep hearing the OLD talking points. This started showing up at Palin rallies in 08. Remember the old men standing in line. "Love it or leave it" Get a job" "Traitor" "communist" etc... It was the exact same language from 1968.

Anyway since they think, wrongly, that the reason they lost the sixties war was because they didn't have any hot chicks on their side. This is a big part of the pathetically childish, "our women are hotter than yours" display. They consider this one of their best weapons to fight and finally win the war with the hippies.

How ridiculous! Really, when are they ever going to GROW THE FUCK UP? Never. If a man in his seventies hasn't matured into an adult yet it ain't going to happen.

Sometimes watching them reminds me of the movie "The Great Santelli" The way he could never let his kids win anything. Remember the basketball scene when they were out playing in the rain cause the old man wouldn't give up? That's who they are. Old Santellis still fighting the hippies on the basketball court.

They think flaunting hot chicks makes them look cool but it just makes them look OLD!

As far as the conservative woman go, it's not very flattering to let old men use you as sexual props. I have a hard time believing that they actually like this but so far they haven't did anything to stop it. They aren't ever going to be taken seriously till they do. They always look like stupid bimbos, whether they're stupid or not, and this is definitely part of their problem.

I think Sarah Palin's father's remark "She just does what she's told to do" is probably true. Mama grizzlies and pink elephants. Whatever. More like "yes my dear doormats".

I'd like to see someone in the media who's high profile throw this theory at them just to see how they react.

THE GOP IS PARTY OF OLD MEN WHO ARE STUCK IN THE SIXTIES.

I'M STUCK IN THE SIXTIES AND I CAN'T GET UP!

It would be fun we could make tons of jokes.

Anyway this is my take on the "my women are hotter than your women" childishness and all the other stupidness coming from the cold war era!

For what it's worth. IMO!

1. Flaunting hot chicks makes them look old...so true

why can't an old guy realize the younger the woman he has on his arm the "older" he looks. Republicans have the idea that they are "entitled" and that's their mentality. Where it came from I don't know but just listen to what they say, it all comes through.

2. they're Nixon and they never forgave JFK

[Joanne98]

4. That too. They've also blamed the camera for that lose.

Now they're image obsessed.

[RandomThoughts]

3. Actually that is going after primal urges and visceral thoughts.

In the 60s some people didn't like the hippies, and the hippies had lots of friends including relationships, and not based on money, but from most accounts they also respected each other.

It was the concept of 'they are taking the women' and that hits hard with a man, especially for a person that tried to get women by earning money.


So the idea of having the hot chicks on your side is a smash to the male ego.

That is usually how it has an effect.


Although if women were on someones side, it should be because of a choice of thought and feeling, not ownership like many of them think. Hence why they went the money path, to try and buy women, where others think on ideas of let them choose, if they like you great, if not fine, but buying someone is not real.

All those fancy cars, lots of money, some women were attracted to that, and media tried to create a money first idea so that both men and women could be bought by the concept of assigning power to those with money by thinking of money first.


I also admire this song very much, it teaches better ideas.

That don't impress me much, a great song.

Some think Paul in Rome telling women they did not have to sleep with men was a celebecy campaign, I think he was against the idea of people buying slaves for sex, and even arranged marriages, and mentioned the ideas that a women does not have to sleep with a man by being a slave, but only if in love and intimacy by choice.

5. Interesting point.

"So the idea of having the hot chicks on your side is a smash to the male ego"

But I don't think they're that deep. They're just having a thirty-year long Great Santelli temper tantrum.

7. The 60s were cool

These guys are stuck in the 50s or at least what they believe the 50s were like. Women and minorities "knew their place", white guys ruled and smoking was advertised on TV with sexy dancing cigarette boxes.

[Octafish]

8. The idea that one's value to society is based on appearance is very GOP.

GOP has gone a long way by putting appearances first: The finer the suit, the higher the class. Consider how they treat the poor: Lazy bums who gouge themselves at the government welfare trough.

In the case of women: The more beautiful the female, the more value they possess. In the case of humans in general: It is best to be of European heritage, preferably Northern and Western European heritage. That's some messed-up thinking, the GOP's.

Democrats believe all people are created equal -- male, female, majority, minority, rich, poor whatever. If someone's gorgeous, that's nice. It doesn't make them any better than someone who's not considered beautiful by a GOPer, however.

[Dawson Leery]

14. True.

[KittyWampus]

9. You got it! The Republican Party is bitter old white people (mostly men). They're dying off

and increasingly unviable.

Trying to sow division and fear is their only chance.

[PJPhreak]

10. While the Hippies (Of which I am one of)

got a lot of press back in the day, They were NOT the Majority...Actually far from it!

We made fantastic changes in the way people thought...Civil Rights,Womens Rights,The Vietnam War,Watergate,Poverty,The Sexual Revolution,Music and so on.

But We Were NOT the Majority!!

The "Straights" were by far and away the Majority. These People...




And they are not in their 70's yet...They are still here,They still hate us,they want us Dead.Gone.Forever.

We picked a life path that threatened them,threatened their way of thinking,challenged their belief systems,made them look bad,made them look stupid...They Hate us for this,Always Did,Always Will.

[Joanne98]

11. Yep!

12. kick

13. You have just described my dad to a tee. He's 75. Watches Fox all day and

is always commenting on how the female anchors are so attractive and "sharp", which means they agree with him of course.

It drives me up the wall!

[and-justice-for-all]

15. Out of touch with reality and society..nt

[misanthrope]

16. First off, it's "Santini," "The Great Santini"...

...Secondly, there are plenty of people of my generation (Jonesers/early Xers and younger) who see the foibles and pitfalls of American society, culture and "the system," who have progressive ideals but still roll our eyes somewhat at hippies. From our vantage point, most of the "hippies" we've encountered have either been overly entitled kids more into partying than working for change. Some of them are fond of bumper sticker politics but don't live their lives accordingly.

We also see the mistakes that the true hippies (from the '60s) made at the time, the way they came across as condescending to a lot of the downtrodden, to minority members and the poor. We saw the way they alienated working class folks who were being exploited by the system, people who should have been natural allies toward any movement questioning what was working and what wasn't in our way of life.

We've also met neo-hippies who were just as superficial as some of the "straights" they derided, that thought because someone looked a certain way, they couldn't empathize with them.

Some of us don't believe in throwing the baby out with the bathwater. We see that every era has lessons, things that are good and bad about it. I might not like the discrimination toward women and minorities in the post-War era, but I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to dress up every now and again, or having manners (which is nothing more than denoting your respect for others just by virtue of their humanity).

Sorry to get tangential here, but I think it's unproductive to put "hippies" on a pedestal when they had their weak points just like everyone else did.
