This article paints with too broad a brush. Boomers those born between 1946 and 1964 = 39 to 57 years old.

Today's 39 year old, in 1970, was 6 years old.

Nice try...I don't buy any of it.

I was born in 49. I was 13 when LBJ became president. I had no say in Medicare creation.

I wasn't old enough to vote for Nixon the first time..he of Affirmative Action fame.

Sorry, most of the liberal social programs created, came when the greatest generation held the power.

I agree completely. We were brainwashed in public schools by liberal academia. The media and the sexual revolution began in the mid-to-late-1960s when the male half of the boomer population was being drafted to fight in the demoralizing Vietnam War (before being allowed the right to vote - it was 21 years then). Sex, drugs and rock-n-roll were drummed into every teenager by adults (not boomers) with lucrative jobs in the entertainment industry, the media, academia, etc.
When I was in high-school my English teacher invited the entire class to be at the opening of the Aquarius Theatre in Hollywood. Fortunately, my Scout troop had an activity that same evening that I chose to go to instead.
