Come be my O.R.G.Y.

If you dig this, you can mold this ball of silly putty we call the world any way you want to mold it. In a way, making it with the Cong chick while the war went on around us was doing just that. It wasn’t just withdrawing from the situation, it was changing it so that the scene was more to our liking than the scene they made.

If we could do it, anybody can do it. You can do it. It’s simple! Just—-

Make love, not war!

Red Guards were a student mass paramilitary social movement mobilized by Mao Zedong in 1966 and 1967, during the Cultural Revolution. Despite being met with resistance early on, the Red Guards received personal support from Mao, and the movement rapidly grew. Mao made use of the group as propaganda and to accomplish goals such as destroying symbols of China's pre-communist past, including ancient artifacts and gravesites of notable Chinese figures. However, the government was very permissive of the Red Guards, who were even allowed to inflict bodily harm on people viewed as dissidents.

Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson gained fame as a general in the United States Army and served in both houses of Congress. James Parton was the first man after Jackson's death to write a full biography of him. Trying to sum up the contradictions in his subject, he wrote: Andrew Jackson was a patriot and a traitor. He was one of the greatest generals, and wholly ignorant of the art of war. A brilliant writer, elegant, eloquent, without being able to compose a correct sentence or spell words of four syllables. The first of statesmen, he never devised, he never framed, a measure. He was the most candid of men, and was capable of the most profound dissimulation. A most law-defying law-obeying citizen. A stickler for discipline, he never hesitated to disobey his superior. A democratic autocrat. An urbane savage. An atrocious saint.

Andrew Johnson (December 29, 1808 – July 31, 1875) was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The new president favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves, and he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. He was acquitted in the Senate by one vote. In the early 21st century, Johnson is among those commonly mentioned as the worst presidents in U.S. history. According to historian Glenn W. Lafantasie, "Johnson is a particular favorite for the bottom of the pile because of his impeachment ... his complete mishandling of Reconstruction policy ... his bristling personality, and his enormous sense of self-importance."^[

This has concerned three presidents in office. Andrew Johnson, Democrat/National Union, was impeached on February 24, 1868 by the House of Representatives after violating the then-newly created Tenure of Office Act by a 126 to 47 vote. He was acquitted by the Senate, which voted 35–19 in favor of conviction, but falling one vote short of the necessary two-thirds needed to remove him from office. Bill Clinton, Democrat, was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on articles charging perjury by a 228–206 vote and obstruction of justice by a 221–212 vote. President Clinton was acquitted by the Senate. The votes to remove him from office fell short of the necessary two-thirds: 45–55 on obstruction of justice and 50–50 on perjury. Impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon as a result of the Watergate scandal (1973 – the breaking into Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate complex) were referred to the full House of Representatives for consideration and ended with his resignation.
