As a baby boomer close to the end of my time on this earth I say..whatever.

These whiny little kids will soon inherit the world they voted for, hope they enjoy it.

This isn’t aimed at all baby boomers. Only and directly at conservative ones.

I’ve read the occasional fairly well argued case in a leftist article. This one is at the other end of the spectrum. I may disagree with the conclusions in a leftist article, but at least I’ll give the author credit for being a journalist, but one I disagree with.

This article looks like it came out of a high school newspaper - a small newspaper. That it’s getting more exposure than a hundred or so readers is laughable.

Dear Peyton Turner,

It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they are being fooled. - Mark Twain

Peyton, when you grow up you will understand the wisdom of that quote. We thought we were pretty smart when we were kids too.

Sincerely,
Boomer

Um, I hate to remind everyone over 40, but every cluster of old people from every generation thinks everyone 40 and under are dumb as a box of rocks. The Boomers in the 60s were nothing but drug-crazed hippies, the GenXers were flannel-wearing depressed brats and the Millenials are pod-eating snowflakes.

And yet...Boomers didn't turn out too bad, same with GenXers, and the Millenials I know are hyper-focused kids with some excellent skills and who generally hate their lazy, whiny bretheren. Yes, some men you can't reach but reflexive generalization and hyperbole are liberal character defects, not endearing conservative traits (I hope).

When the "greatest generation" got it wrong on Boomers, they rebelled and showed them how wrong were the old folks. It's be nice if old people today weren't as ignorant nor as failing-in-memory as the elders of their youth.

And no, it's not different this time.

As Rush said, the under 40 set is the only generation that thinks they can’t learn anything from the older generations.”

I’d say the Boomers rejected the wisdom of their elders IN SPADES. Nobody could sneer harder than they sneered.

Without reading a word of the article, as soon as I saw the writers name I knew exactly how the article was going to go.

Typical millennial nonsense. The future looks very dark.

It is because Fox News is so successful with the baby boomers and older generations. They are the only major network that is not total lock step with the political left.

FRiends here can bash Fox and say you should watch ONAN. However, what the Paytons hate is the ratings that FOX gets from main stream America, the heartland. The liberals look on us as knuckle draggers. The think they are superior because they drive a Prius, or take public transportation. They are on Instagram and SnapChat, Facebook is for old people. Their parents subscribe to Public Television.
