The New Counter Culture: Liberty

James Hudnall , in a recent article over at Big Hollywood, wrote that in the 1960s a generation of young people dissatisfied with the status quo decided they wanted to change society for that they felt was the better. They resented the culture of the time and began a movement that they referred to as “counter-culture.”

But today, the 'establishment' is not the restrictive, conservative white-picket fence war hero's of the '50's- rather, today the 'establishment' are the hippies- those war-dodging self-righteous selfish types who spend their days lecturing others about being more friendly to the environment or to make peace not war or other meaningless garbage. Look around, the entertainers on TV, the comics in the clubs- the culture of the day is left, even though the nation is right. Heck, even “The Man” is a lefty tyrant!

So what then is the new counter culture? It is those people who love liberty and freedom- the new counter-culture are those people who have been raised on the soaring rhetoric of the Bible and the Declaration of Independence- the new rebels are the old rebels once again, those who fight against tyranny and oppression again.

The real change in our society, the real difference makers, are the youths who are out there at Tea Party's across the nation. Those who are going to shake the world and make a difference are not Harvard-educated community organizers committed to spending money they don't have on social re-engineering schemes, but those entrepreneurs who are standing up at town halls and yelling 'freedom'.

The new counter culture, ladies and gentlemen, is liberty.
