Happy Thanksgiving
Our tradition at Liberaland has been to present the classic Arlo Guthrie song, “Alice’s Restaurant.” It’s based on a true story and is satirical take on the counter culture of the 1960’s. But it is also a protest song against the Vietnam war and the military draft. Particularly telling is the hypocrisy of the draft board. If you were ever arrested for any reason, no matter how small, you couldn’t go fight the war. Guthrie sings: “I’m sittin’ here on the Group W bench ’cause you want to know if I’m moral enough to join the Army, burn women, kids, houses and villages after bein’ a litterbug.”
Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for being a part of Liberaland.

The Guthrie’s, a family of artists taken too soon by huntingtons.

Can’t think of any other artist in the family other than Woody who had it.

I’m happy to say that I’ve been to Alice’s and met her. She was a delight.

Republicans_are_Evil November 27th, 2014 at 09:26
No, actually I didn’t. I don’t want any right winger to have a happy anything. I want them to be unhappy, very unhappy, for a very long time.
mea_mark November 27th, 2014 at 11:01
Well, I hope they are unhappy and disappointed at least in the fools they elected into congress. Nobody should be happy about obstructionist that want to hurt America and destroy the environment.

using a picture of the fake Italian Jesus while writing words of joy might be the trick?
After all, TURKEY Day is when you can just chew on WHITE meat over and over and over and make naughty little wishes while chewing.
just remember that wishes very seldom come true if said out loud.
(why the Resistance was so successful in the 1940’s).

“I think most of you are Morons”
Yet you spend so much time here, and willingly make a fool, racist and liar of yourself on a routine basis.
You are nothing more than amusement for morons.
So what exactly does that make you?

So you think he wastes any time thinking about you when he’s not responding to your extremist posts? You have an over-inflated sense of your worth.

There is nothing like living the experience for ones self.. at the induction center, after the asshole inspection by Capt Gay(the truth) the Navy and Air Force recruits were pulled to one side…the rest lined up and counted off by threes… all threes one step forward…You are now Marines… Nightmare come true
Larry Schmitt November 27th, 2014 at 12:04
When I went through to join the Air Force in 71 (tail end of Viet Nam war), they simply asked the draftees if any wanted to volunteer for the Marines. A few did, but most were willing to settle for two years in the army. Our boot camp (we even had a “kinder, gentler name for it, basic training) was only six weeks, compared to the Marines’ twelve. And much easier. Boy Scouts had tougher physical training than we did.
rg9rts November 27th, 2014 at 12:30
Did that in 66…My intro to a Texas accent was when the first shirt introduces the DI…Annnd yoooww drill instructor’s name is SGY Aannus…………Capt Gay now an anus for a DI…..Ennis
