“Hateful?” Typical touchy-feely, Boomer-dominated public education Boomer-speak. Very Lincoln-Douglas Debates of you. (Oh, and your opening (sigh)... that’s a perfect example of why a Boomer can never win a debate.)
“Ignorant?” Please point to a factual error. And you didn’t offer one rational refutation to anything I posited.
And I didn’t say all Boomers are hippies. But all hippies were/are Boomers.
For your buddies on this thread who are chest-thumping about their military service? The Boomers are the ones who made sure their own country lost a war. Actually, two — Vietnam and, any minute now, Afghanistan.
Boomers are in charge of America, its government and its industry. Can you argue with a straight face they’re doing a good job?
They’re dragging us the rest of us into socialism. Unemployment is at its highest it’s been since the Depression. A committed Marxist — a Boomer — is President.
That’s on the Boomers.
Son, I’d love to have this discussion with you, but I am not going to waste either my time or JimRob’s bandwidth.
I will correct a point you made about Vietnam - we didn’t lose. On the day after the TET Offensive, Walter Cronkite went on TV, looked America straight in the face and lied.
He told America that we had lost the Tet Offensive and, as a result, the Vietnam War. The fact is that the opposite was true. We won the Tet Offensive but Cronkite had a political disagreement with Lyndon Johnson and he took it out on us.
Decades later, many north Vietnamese generals wrote their biographies and acknowledged that we beat them so badly during Tet that they were on the verge of capitulation . . . . . . . until they heard Walter Cronkite’s newscast. Cronkite (NOT a Boomer!) is single-handedly responsible for that war being dragged on for another 7 years and for the death or mutilation of untold American young men and women as well as Vietnamese women and children.
As for your “touchy-feely” comment, you don’t know me and aren’t qualified to judge me or any other Boomer. I’ll leave the judging up to God.
And, tes, I AM a disabled Vietnam vet. Just thought you might like to know so you can hate me that much more. Enjoy your hatred.
