It was ok for the Woodstock crowd to tear down fences, overwhelm the town of Woodstock, allow drugs all through the concert, scream at police and forment violence against the Vietnam War, but that same group, now in their 60s, and as liberal as they ever were, doesn't want their opponents to use the same tactics they did during the 60s and early 70s. No, for the right wing opponents of health care and socialism in general to use the very same tactics as the radical liberals did is somehow now "un-american". The very same liberals who just recently defended their protests of Bush with "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism", now feel as though dissent is unamerican. They want to stifle dissent. To them, to protest their policies is to be a Nazi.
I always thought that the book 1984 represented right wing policies of crushing individualism and blind following of the State, but I am now convinced that it actually better represents the left wing agenda.
