Boomers were born at the moment where the values, structure, traditions, and strength of the nation had made it the most power country in history. They then indulged in a subculture in the 60s whose whole mission was to bring down all of those things. In the 80s they sorta got their crap together because they now had families to take care of, and all of that left-wing crap they still held to in the 70s didn’t pay the bills. Come the 90s, and the older kids were moving out (Gen X which was somewhat more conservative), they went back to the BS, and hit the PC button until it broke, just in time to warp the heads of Gen Y so that by 2008, we had an army of complete dumbass voters whose #1 issues were their genitals, and getting a check from the government.
A full generation ahead of the spoiled brats, who grew up enjoying the fruits of the sacrifices of the 2 generations before them, I drew a bit of satisfaction in knowing that ‘one day, these morons are going to be ‘over 30’ too - and also get to live with all the destruction they're creating in this great country.
I love to see them ‘stewing in their own juices’ - I just wish the rest of us weren't impacted too.
AT my age, I say whatever pops up in my head - and do not suffer the insufferable quietly anymore - but when I tell them off, I do so with indisputable facts and a smile. drives ‘em wild. (Of course, I also voice my thoughts in my column, which makes for some lively tete a tete’s with readers. I use my column like a hat pin.)
