Screw the RW and their wars, and I am sure folks in the 60's and 70's felt the same with Vietnam.
I have a son overseas right now, missing his three kids:

I am the new hippie - I may not have a blanket spread out on the lawn in our nation's capital, but I am damned sure listening and in tune with what is going on. Before where we gathered thousands in out nation's capital - we now gather millions across the globe online.
I may not face you in the streets, but I will on FB and elsewhere. I may not publish a small paper that I hand out on a campus, but I will publish online with many others.
I won't rely on just a few news sources for my information. I will scour the internet for more information - I won't be boxed in by a few big news organizations to tell me what to think. I will think for myself.
The government in the end will fear me and those like me - because we will not be lied to, we will keep looking for the truth.
We will expose you and your lies. You send our kids overseas to wars that have nothing to do with our security.
You think because we are not in the streets we are not organized and ready to fight. You are wrong. We are stronger now than ever because we can communicate now faster than ever before.
In the blink of an eye I can talk to over a million people, in but a moment people like me can publish the truth and fight you. We can research, communicate, and yes even hack into your most personal emails and expose you.
We have only just begun, us new hippies. You fear us, and we know it. You want to control us, but you will not. Our phones with cameras, our words, our research, is spread in an instant across the world - and it scares you.
Your time is coming to an end, we will expose you, we will awaken and educate the 'ents' (a LOTR reference). Slowly, we will overcome.
We are the new hippies, born and bred for the 21st century. And while you scramble to keep up with us, we will eventually leave you in the dust.
I am 45, and I am more able now than when I was a young person to fight because I have at my fingertips a whole world of people and facts.
Call us what you will, key board commandos, etc - but we are changing the face of the world - along with many others all over the globe.
We won't be silenced, we won't be intimidated. And we are growing in number. From the repressed in China to the repressed here in the US.
