I saw the best bumper sticker today on a truck at the Tractor Supply here in Red State:

"Dang right I'm a Christian. And I'm a Democrat"

I remember back in the 1960's, kids telling their parents that they should be allowed to have hair over their collar, because, you know, Jesus had long hair

Reminds me of a verse from Bob Dylan's 115 Dream:
"Well, I rapped upon a house
With the US flag upon display
I said, "Could you help me out
I got some friends down the way
" The man says, "Get out of here
I'll tear you limp from limb"
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"
He said, "You're not Him
Get out of here before I break your bones
I ain't your pop"
I decided to have him arrested
And I went lookin for a cop."
Ah the good old 60's when some things seemed to make sense!

"If you're old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to vote for the man who is sending you there."

It took like 8-10 years of protests before there was change in the late 1960's. And they had to kill Kennedy, Kennedy & King first - and Watergate.
