“Stop being so hysterical in your hatred of baby boomers.”

It isn’t hysterical, and I’m not anything that hasn’t been said before.

“What generation were people like Bill Ayres, Jane Fonda, Pete Seeger, Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary, the Berrigan Brothers, Jimmy Carter, etc?”

Didnt say the radical nature of the 60’s and 70’s didnt affect older people no less. The cementing of the mentality of the times in the minds of impressionable baby boomers guaranteed that it would be shoved down the throats of Gen-X and Y. Which it was.

“Do you really think the Baby Boomers created the filth that started coming out of Hollywood in the late 60s?”

Create? They didnt have to create it. They just had to absorb it, and echo it. Which they did.

The breakdown in society which started in the 50s and took off in the 60s was CREATED by an older generation of Americans; it wasn’t retroactive! Surely, you know the history of the communist party in America which dates back to at least the 1930s. These older people pushed an agenda of free sex and non-workable and cruel left-wing ideas that twisted the minds of some of the Baby Boomers. You guys simply carried on the tradition.

I’m still waiting for stats on who fought the Vietnam War.

You’re absolutely right about the Boomers.

Of course the Left has always been lurking in the background, as far back as the 1930s, a tiny minority... but it was the Boomers with their huge numbers who turned MAINSTREAM America solidly left.

They are in charge of everything now: government, academia, business, and the media. They own America.

Sure there are a few Boomers — the ones on Free Republic — who think differently — but what good does it do to deny that their leftist mainstream brethren are the ones who’ve wrecked the country?
