Has everyone forgotten the late sixties and seventies? Does Iraq really look like Vietnam? Does George Bush remind you of Jimmy Carter? This doesn't feel anything like those days at all. The difference now is that our Oprahfied populace's first reflex is to claim victimhood and seek an ever larger government to insulate them from being responsible for themselves. If you are old enough to remember compare the evening newscasts of 1969 and 1979 to those of 2008. Which has chnaged more, the times or the reporting of the times?
