dragster Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 From this American's point of view -- Kent State could have been avoided.... ... those students should have been in class doing what they were supposed to be doing. Instead of causing trouble by throwing rocks and bottles at other young men who were in uniform. It was incidents like Kent State, the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago, and other displays of lawlessness. That convinced me and many other Americans that the liberal left was a threat to our national identity. In fact, it was that period of our history (which despite the efforts of the radical left to create a "new progressive" society) -- actually helped to lay the seeds of neo-conservatism and the Reagan revolution. And Republican Presidential victories for 7 out of 10 times over the next 40 years. No, actually it was the ROTTEN Nam war the cause of all VIOLENCE and INTOLLERANCE in the first place......sorry, your post here is THE dumbest OF THE LOT HERE.....and if you can say that here, I can say it just goes to show how many rotten right-wing warmongers we have got here.....but no worries, there are millions of us out here who will stampede on right-wing ideals yet....you can bet on that!! :):) Robert.

Fortuenti Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 The killings at Kent State were the precursor of what was to come: The Rise of the MILITARIZED Police State in the US under the guise of RICHARD (I) M (not a crook) NIXON's "War on Drugs." "Tin soldiers and Nixon coming..." the words Neil Young sang; "... soldiers are CUTTING US DOWN!" Americans have been "conditioned" to tolerate murders of civilians by law-enforcement and the military. This in unacceptable to anyone who believes in the principles upon which the US was founded on but the government is burying those principles. What have Americans learned about the EVIL their government is capable of since then? Obviously, very little and that is SAD. Overkill: The Rise of Paramilitary Police Raids in America And to think, the politicians say it's all about "saving the children." Yeah. RIGHT!
