I remember hearing a speech by Dan Quayle in the early nineties, when he was VP under George H. W. Bush.

Keep in mind that Dan and wife Marilyn were (presumably still are, I don't know) fundamentalist Christians of the Rapture kind — they are going to Heaven, all others will suffer Hell on Earth. Literally. Literally.

In this speech, Quayle was making angry statement about the persistent immorality of "The Sixties" (his very words), and declaring angrily that the Bush administration would put the final nail in the coffin (my words, he said sometime similar) of The Sixties.

Still fighting the counter-culture, twenty years after its alleged heyday. (I say alleged because the counter-culture is an eternal ongoing principle.)
