The Greatest Generation (coined by Brokaw) did a bad job all the way around. Including with most of their kids. It was the preceeding generation that was great, IMO.

Ummm .. My parents are from that generation and I think they did a pretty good job raising their kids

You are painting a pretty broad brush there

painting a pretty broad brush there

I suppose. I look at my parents and my parents, parents generations. They had nothing. They tried to give my generation everything. I have relatives in their 70's, 80's, and 90's. These people are good, hardworking, and moral. But, they would vote democrat regardless of any value they hold. It isn't the "liberalness", it is the democratness. It transcends their religion, their morals, their cognitive knowingness. The mindset, or whatever it is, rules. As far as my generation, the boomers--- a group of socialists took hold of this "mindset" and ran with it. Collectively, we have nearly all moved left of center. Broadbrushed strokes??? I just call it like I see it. Maybe my paintbrush is faulty. I just don't think so. It is more, IMHO, than accepting "liberalism." And of course there is a fight.
