Pat Robertson: "We should not listen to long haired hippies!"
That's what Pat said, if you need proof then you should watch the Daily Show tonight.

That probably means Pat believes Jesus was a wealthy, war mongering, gun toting, Muslim converting, English-only speaking Holy Man.

2. What decade is he living in?
All the hippies are old now. I don't see very many people with long hair at all.

5. Oh, there are young hippies around
But I'd like Pat to point to just ONE in the Democratic power structure. Just one, Pat. Can you do it?

Sorry, but most of the beltway Democrats look like you. And the ones out here that are hippies sure as hell aren't in power or being listened to by the party.

20. Wow, Swamp Rat! Talk about capturing the essence through portraiture...
The unctuous turd Marion "Pat" Robertson invests his ill-gotten PTL billions in gold and diamond mines, partnering with some of the world's leading despots and mass-murderers, including friends of Osama bin Laden (besides the Bushes):

BTW: Beautiful work, Swamp Rat! How did you manage to capture the true glint in the eyes? Outstanding!

37. That's THEM!
You've got Them down cold. I'm stealing, er, forwarding that for those I know who can appreciate such work. If it's OK with you, of course. Heh heh.

BTW: Way back in another life I had the distinct pleasure of floating an idea by some big wigs in person. When I looked them in the eyes, it was apparent they were missing something -- the glint of humanity. Heck, they didn't even possess the glint of rodentia, let alone mammalia. Their eyes were those of reptiles and sharks.

I took the idea and went home. Better it sit in a desk somewhere than in enriching such as Them.

12. For the record, isn't the modern depiction of Jesus as a Caucasian
incorrect? Something about an olive skinned, short-curly haired peasant?

Regardless, Jon's joke kicked ass last night. :)

based off of a Lebanese shepherd boy in the 5th century.

18. What part of "Peace, Love & Understanding" does the Coward not get?
Then 2nd-Lt. Marion "Pat" Robertson, who sired his oldest out of wedlock, once was a coward aboard a US Marine troopship heading toward the fighting in Korea. He got his US Senator daddy to get him off when the ship when it pulled into Yokohama, Japan, its last stop. Most of his fellow Marines, including the men once under his command, were to go off and get wounded and killed. One surivor told this tale -- 2nd Lt. Pete McCloskey, who later became a US Representative from California, a Republican.

19. He might be surprised that the majority of us anti-war "hippies"...
have short hair, are clean-shaven and bathe daily.

But I personally stopped cutting my hair after Nov. 2 and won't cut it until the POS is GONE.

But I don't need short hair for my job, so it's not all that brave a statement. Besides, I always wanted to grow it long ONCE while I still have a thick head of hair.

22. What's the big deal about wearing long hair?
In some eras and cultures, most respectable menhad long hair. If I understand the origin of the prestigue of men's short hair, it was because short hair and a clean shave meant that you could afford to go to the barber often. It is in the same category as long finger nails for women and tans for Caucasions in colder climates. I know that today long hair on men is usually consider some kind of statement. Wasn't the U.S. founded on freedom. Why should we be a bunch of conformists?

26. Jeez, what I remember of the non-activist hippies were that they were
mostly white kids, who ran away from homes exactly like the the moral values bible thumpers like to claim as Christian homes. Most of those kids were so sick of the hypocrisy that they were hell bent on breaking every commandment they could in conscience break.

30. Yep
Most "dropped out" of commercial society and went back to the land to have solar homes and organic gardens.

The straight people get Hippies(back to a natural lifestyle) and Yippies(politcal types) mixed up just like they think Patchouli oil smells like pot.

So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you

45. long hair is easier to style, too.

Me, all I have to do is just pull it into a ponytail and I'm good to go.

The shorthaired guys, otoh, need their gels and their monthly trims and all that nonsense (and if you've got any curl to your hair, like I do, it NEVER lays down right anyway, which makes it even more of a pain in the ass to get it looking decent).

20+ years of long hair for me, and ya couldn't pay me to go back :)

Why attack hippies? Why not go after the bald guys with goatees?
They're way uglier.


No offense to any bald-goateed guys. I just can't understand what it is with the mocking of hippies in an era when there aren't many around.

Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 05:33 PM by NervousRex
Calling someone in 2004 with long hair a "hippie" is like calling a woman with short hair a "flapper". The term hippie or flapper are specific to certain times in the past. Younger people since the '70's can try as hard as they want to look and act like a hippie, but it's a pose....oh, that goes for punks too...what are we on the third generation of punk-rockers?

The guy on the right wishes he could be a hippy, but he has no hair. The guy on the left - well, he just wishes he could see his feet.

As for the Southern Mom - well . . . .
