Oh great, we haven’t had a boomer bashing thread for a while.

While I think this is great news and I pray it keeps going in this direction, I think part of this mind set is that the younger generation has become so accustomed to the public safety net to fix all their woes that they do not worry about the realities of giving birth and raising children.

Please don’t misunderstand me, I am glad that the babies being conceived will be born, but I’m just saying I don’t think this trend is based on some religious awakening as much as it is a socialist acceptance of our society as a whole.

I welcome dissenting opinions in a respectful manner.

Maybe that is because 1 out of 4 of their peers got snuffed out by abortion. I have always thought my generation is so small from a demographic standpoint because Roe v Wade came about in the early 70’s and abortions took off like a rocket.

Hopefully, when the boomer feminazi’s and other leftist ghouls get removed from power we can some how stop this crime against humanity.

If so, I’d still sooner see a soft spot here than a soft spot for Sanger’s Genocide & Co / Planned Barrenhood.

It cannot be missed that the generation that can get pregnant hates abortion more than do their parents and grandparents.

“Poll: Youngest Americans More Pro-Life on Abortion Than Baby Boomers”

How does one poll a baby?

Yep. The Harry Potter Generation.

That is: they are the "Children that lived."

Same here.

Younger Americans see the Boomers crowding out every institution and ask why there are so many of them and so few of us. I was born at the height of the boom years and the attitudes of my contemporaries have infected American society for decades. This is exceptionally good news that gives me hope for America’s future.

It was the 18-29 year olds and generation x that put Obama in the White House.

The 18-29 year olds gave Obama 66% compared to the 52% of the 18-29 year olds that Nixon won during the Vietnam war and the draft in 1972.

The Boomers have held their belief system sway in society for a while now, it’s time for that way of thinking to abate. It’s time for GenX to take a stand and lead into the future. I’m glad to hear of this, but I kinda figured anyhow.

Since boomers range in age now from 46 to 64, they naturally fill the institutions and government, (finally).

The reason I say "finally" is because people are convinced that boomers have been running the Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, Presidency, and institutions for the last 50 to 60 years.

It was not until the 1984 election that every boomer was even old enough to finally vote in the Presidential race.

Even the ones who survived abortion suffered from the massive divorce rate of the hedonistic, spoiled Boomers.

One thing they could do, is start using boomers as an example of military service, maybe they could get the males of their generation and the younger ones to start stepping up and enlisting in larger numbers that the post boomer men do.

Some other factors to consider. 1) The pro-life Christians are producing more kids than the hedonist materialists. 2) Kids today grow up exposed to spectacular visual technology. No one who has seen an ultrasound can believe that a so-called fetus is anything but a pre-born human being, and that calling a baby a “piece of cellular debris” is a lie from the pit of hell.
