Wanna know what the '70's was really like?

Edited on Sat Aug-06-11 10:14 AM by Brigid

SHRED's thread got me to reminiscing. This video, a news report from 1975, says it all:

And here is the song they were talking about:

I still have that 45 around somewhere. And if you don't know what that is, ask your grandparents. :)

4. America NEEDS you, Harry Truman.

That was back when democrats were "DEMOCRATS"!!!

"I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the Fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign."
---President Harry Truman

QED:2010

Leadership! "The Buck Stops HERE!" NO Excuses!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
