‘Who is “you”?’
Great question! Who is you? The 30 million or so Boomers who aborted their children since 1972.
“it is based in falsehoods.”
I see. So what you are saying, is that the boomers, in their early 20’s when Roe was passed, weren’t the ones getting abortions done? That’s nonsense. You and I both know that abortion was legalized when the boomers came of age, and many Boomers partook of abortion wholeheartedly. That is a Fact.
What I want to know is why? Why did Boomers abort 30 million of their children - more than the population of Texas all by themselves?
“Your arguments are with liberalism...not a whole generation of people who had it’s destructive ambitions imposed upon them.”
Nonsense. I believe that Boomers had a choice. They could have said no. They could have said, “I am going to keep my child”. They could have chosen not to enter the abortion clinics. But they did. To the tune of 30 million children. 30 million children that we will never get back - my peers. My brothers and sisters, and cousins, and wife and friends. One third are simply not here. And the best excuse you can offer is that ‘it was forced on you!’
“Many Boomers saw the retirement bubble a long time ago”
Which is why they aborted their children? Robbing your seed corn.
“Suggesting any reform to SS was compared to touching the third rail of politics.”
Because of Boomers, not in spite of them.
“you know many boomers have fought against abortion and have not participated in abortion.”
I have worked with professional prolife organizations. I have picketed and stood out in the cold. One of my best friends is a boomer and I am very close to him. But I’m going to quote him.
“I see two kinds of people. My parents and my children. There is a hole - and that hole is my generation - the boomers. Where are the boomers? Why are they not standing out on the picket lines? Why is it always the older generation - the grandparents, standing with their grandchildren?”
“They will do further harm to your generation”
No, actually, no, they won’t. Not unless they kill a third of my generation.
“I see the “progress” agenda items they desire to impose upon your generation. Do you?”
They? I don’t see them as the ones pushing it. What I do see is boomers funding it and standing out and pushing against us. They are taking what they were taught by their parents (boomers), and attacking us. Those who are on our side, either were taught by our peers or by their grandparents. Some by their parents, but not many.
“What are you doing to stop them? Should we blame you for what they do if you fail to stop them?”
Absolutely, you should. If we fail. We must try to ban it. Now it’s our turn to see what we can do and keep fighting.
You missed the whole message of my post. I will put it in baby terms for you.
You blame a group of people - a generation (boomers) - for “killing babies” and failing to reform in preparation for the social security retirement baloon.
I don’t believe in group sin, group guilt nor group meaning/sterotypes. Some boomers were liberals and committed abortion and some fought against abortion. Some boomers rejected the reform of socialist insecurity and some boomers worked hard to reform it.
I don’t believe in racial group sin nor racial group guilt and meaning. I don’t beleive in male group sin and guilt nor in female group sin and guilt. I believe in redemption for individuals who were lost and then were found.
I don’t hold hatred and resentment against whole groups of people because I am not a liberal - stupid. I see the individual in front of me. In you I see a person who has bought into liberalism’s mentality of tribalism and you are jockeying for the position of moral high ground victim. Your generation will suffer greatly if you buy into generational warfare. Look how well it has served black liberals in the ghetto because that is where you are headed if you don’t turn your mind and attitude around.
If you want to do group inventory - look at your own generation. Is there liberalism there? Is there abortion going on? Are you really so innocent in a group idenity to be pointing their stinky fingers at another generation? Group think is a false mentality.
