Newsreel: Anti-War March, 1967

In this clip from 1967, newsreel reader Ed Herlihy narrates a cynical take on the anti-Vietnam War marches which took place in New York City, San Francisco, and across the US. Martin Luther King, Jr. petitions the UN, students burn their draft cards at demonstrations, and anti-anti-Vietnam protesters make their support of the conflict known.

Forty years later, we find ourselves in a similar scenario.

Ronald Reagan was a great man indeed! A++ The hippies and the freaks were absolutely worthless. The hippies and the freaks did not do a dam thing for America! The hippies and the freaks cost the taxpayers millions of dollars do to the willful and malicious destruction and defacement of public and private property that the hippies and the freaks were responsible for. in addition, millions of dollars were spent on police to protect public and private property from the hippies and freaks!

@TheDiddlysquat It can be surprising for you, but freedom is about compromise. Freedom without compromises can have only dictator. Years ago I've been looking from iron fence, dreaming about "land of free" and thinking bolshevik is that bloodthirsty side... now I see the truth. Same beasts other colors of shirts. Blue, red, brown; that's only logo busyness is same.

@TheDiddlysquat there would be a lot of corpses in your free'er society. Kind of puts a damper in your chivalrous society..

Patriotism isn't sitting back letting federal government ram its fists into the country, it's getting up and making sure the people rule the country and not the war pigs.
