In the thirty eight years since Woodstock, Free Love has morphed into government hand-outs, or such was Mrs. Clinton’s intent. Robert Novak, Washington Post [1]:
Will the Democratic-controlled Senate approve a $1 million earmark to celebrate Woodstock-era baby boomers, carved out of a bill funding health care and education? It will, because it is sponsored by New York [2]‘s influential Democratic senators, Hillary Clinton [3] and Charles Schumer [4]. It will, because they are promoting the pet project of a big-time Democratic campaign contributor.
Nevertheless, as the Senate began consideration of the Labor/Health and Human Services/Education appropriations bill yesterday, Republican Sen. Tom Coburn [5] of Oklahoma [6] proposed an amendment to eliminate the earmark. The $1 million would go to the performing arts center of the Bethel Museum in Liberty, N.Y., at the site of the original 1969 Woodstock [7] festival. Coburn argues that a “taxpayer-funded Woodstock flashback” would cut into the government’s Education for Homeless Children and Youth Program grants
Well good news Bob. There are ‘rats brave enough to stand-up to Mrs. Clinton. Michelle Malkin posts the honor roll [8]. A big well done to the five brave ‘rats.
