"Of course, if the Baby Boomers got what they wanted (socialism)"
You are mistaken if you think the Clintons and their kind represent our generation.
They never did. They were always the minority. They were lionized by the press, but always a minority.
Our generation served in the military, raised families, helped put new technology together, helped end the cold war.
We voted for Nixon in a landslide, voted for Reagan in a landslide.
You are letting the media re-write history if you think otherwise.
You are of course correct. Boomers came of age in the "information age". TV told us what to think. It wasnt till the internet that we got a chance to voice our true opinions.
I hope this thread fires back up. I am suprised that more boomers are not defending our times. There has been many bad things done in our time but that holds true for all gens.
I suppose the latest gens are gonna blame the boomers for how decadent they are. Its not the boomers marching for gay marriage. Our culture is going downhill. It will take some doing to turn things around.
The FEDS need to lose power and it needs to be returned to the states like the constitution demanded. I suppose boomers are to be blamed for that as well.
No actually boomer men did. Boomer-women, burned their bra's, took the pill, voted for pro-abortion candidates, neutured their men, and went to work leaving schools and television to raise their kids. If John Kerry wins in November it will be because boomer-women put him there. Not to sound like a misogynist, but those are the facts.
