Hippies for McCain?
Oct 28| Filed Under Main |
I know this has nothing to do with dating but I just wanted to ask if any of you can explain this to me.
Today I was driving on I95 from New Haven County to Fairfield County and saw a blue mini-cooper being driven by a man at least late 50’s or older with his long, white hair in a ponytail. He had ttwo stickers on the back of his car. One was a classic Grateful Dead sticker with the skull and lightening bolt in red, blue and silver. The other was a McCain sticker.
Hello? This does not compute!
Here’s how I see this equation:
Man with long hair in pony tail = hippie
Grateful Dead bumper sticker = hippie
Age of man - 50’s/60’s boomer = possible ex-hippie
McCain sticker = definitely not a hippie
Remember the 70’s? Question authority. Anti-government. Anti-war. Women’s Lib. Make Love not War (OK, maybe that was the 60’s)
I am so curious about this - I wish I could have called him on his cell and asked him to explain himself.
Is it just me?


I’m from that generation and very conservative. I know many men with the long hair in a pony tail or braid, loves the Grateful Dead and are just as conservative as I am. “Don’t judge the book by it’s cover”.
The conservative people DO question authority, believe in smaller government, are NOT war mongers and believe in women’s equality.
