Unfortunately the greatest generation fell asleep at the wheel regarding the protection of the constitution in the1950s through the 1960s and allowed all the leftists ideas to be planted in our country. I.wish they had rooted them out before they all became.institutionalized.
You have powers of deduction. It wasn’t the baby boomers who put all this into motion. It goes back a bit further. A small example, LBJ was born in circa 1908.
This is not to take away from what Americans did during WWII etc.
Clearly *some* members of that generation don't deserve the label "greatest".They're the ones who taught the likes of Gerry Rubin,Bill Ayers and Obama's mother that ours is a terrible,oppressive nation.
Sadly true. I’ve made that same observation here several times.
After the great suffering and loss of WWII, the time of peace and suburban home-owning prosperity - kids and beer and new cars and BBQ and sports on TV - lulled our masses and Veterans into acquiescing on the leftist agenda.
