Someone explain to me. My friend and I had a spirited debate today on this topic, but I think she was playing Devil's advocate just to annoy me. Here's the question.
When I grew up in the 60's it was all about lack of responsibility, free love, free sex, question responsibility and never trust the government. How did hippies end up as adults mostly voting Democrat? While it's true that Republicans have their share of big government types, these are not true conservatives.
What I am talking about is why wouldn't those people from the 60's with the same mindset become small government, lower tax conservatives? I don't get it. People like Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are big government, high taxation types who want to control our lives. So who do the dried up old hippies support? Guess!
