I was born in 1966 and I am a conservative for many reasons - one reason I became conservative is because I could not stand that type of New York City Upper West Side liberals who were a little older than me. So smug, so sexually liberated for the wrong reasons, so confused.
Well, baby boomers deserve the trouble they get!
You were the first American generation that hated your country - that spit on the efforts of your father's fighting in WW2 - you spit upon the lifestyle of plenty that gave you comfort and safety in the 1950s - and you helped betray your country in a stupor of drugs, sex, and a victory for communism in Vietnam. You have idolized Castro and the Sandanista - along with Annie Hall and woody Allen when Star Wars should've won the Oscar that year. For that alone I hate your generation. Finally you gave us Clinton and Gore and Tipper and now Kerry. you gave us bad music in the 70s and 80s and Woodstock became a parody of what you are . You became useful idiots for the Soviets - you allowed Phil Donahue to stay on the air. You became me me me in the 1970s and Yuppies in the 80s - you dumbed downed society and you dressed down the culture. You altered the English language with your Ms. and your PC verbal hysteria. You gave us AIDS. Your generation also unleashed the killing of the unborn and you gave us bad TV like Maud, Mash, Murphy Brown, and Thirtysomething. You are the face of Hillary and the greed and the powerhungry dysfunctional Godless selves you all are. You deserve what you get. You boomer people suck!
Mind you - I have nothing against conservative boomers.
Our generation fought vietnam and the politicians turned their backs on us and screwed us over in the first war fought on TV with socialists like walter conkrite telling people what to think. You have the benefit of the internet which boomers gave you for your news so you have a fighting chance against the commie media. Many did do drugs and sex and start feminism but all gens make mistakes.
You have idolized Castro and the Sandanista - along with Annie Hall and woody Allen when Star Wars should've won the Oscar that year. For that alone I hate your generation.
bullcrap!!!!! Most of us were working our asses off to get ahead. The commie media gave us that and told most idiots what to think.
Finally you gave us Clinton and Gore and Tipper and now Kerry.
Once again we have had to battle the commie media that ruled and they are the ones that elected the basterd slick. After that the internet kicked in and many of the unbrainwashed boomers are doing their part to fight back
you gave us bad music in the 70s and 80s and Woodstock became a parody of what you are
. You gave us rap and you call our music bad? Rap is much worse for society then our music was.
You became useful idiots for the Soviets - you allowed Phil Donahue to stay on the air.
The greatest gen gave us the soviets. We won the cold war by electing RR.
You became me me me in the 1970s and Yuppies in the 80s - you dumbed downed society and you dressed down the culture. You altered the English language with your Ms. and your PC verbal hysteria.
Once again you are blaming us for the socialist foundation that was set down before us by the commie media and we are starting to fight back thanks to the internet.
You gave us AIDS. Your generation also unleashed the killing of the unborn and you gave us bad TV like Maud, Mash, Murphy Brown, and Thirtysomething. You are the face of Hillary and the greed and the powerhungry dysfunctional Godless selves you all are. You deserve what you get. You boomer people suck!
This is all too stupid to waste time replying to except for abortion which we did not give you. Many took advantage of it and that is a horrible terrific mistake and I wish I could change it. But once again it was given to us by the black robed, black souled judicial activists. If it had been put to a vote it would never have been allowed. Even today I bet it would not be allowed. Remeber too that probaly only 33% of the boomers were responsible for the ills you claim. It was the power of the mass media which was controlled by commies that gave the minority the voice to overcome the will of the people. Thank the good Lord for the internet which gives your gen the chance to fight back.
I think many of you have been brainwashed by the MSM and the hollyweird crowd. I was born in 1945. I have been
conservative all my life.
Most of the junk you are collectively dumping on the boomers was actually coming from the priveleged on campuses such as those in CA-same places the anti american crap comes from today.
Abortion was not boomer's fault. The Supreme Court did that. I recall being absolutely astonished and convinced that laws would be passed to return to sanity, but the court continued to knock down the laws.
8.7 Million Boomers volunteered for service in Vietnam.
The social programs were started by FDR and increased by LBJ and boomers weren't even old enough to vote. I did not even know about Woodstock and no one I knew would have attended if we had known. The people in flyover country never ever went along with all that liberal hippie freak stuff.
And it is not helpful to lump all the elderly people into some rich selfish group either. My Dad worked until age
78, and never ever took a hand out. He would still be working, but he had a stroke and then 4 way bypass. I quit
my job to stay home and take care of him.He is poor financially, but a wonderful person who volunteered in our community all his life.
I worked my way through college and never had a student loan, pell grant or any other hand out. My point is that class warfare and generational warfare is something I would expect of the radical left; I am disappointed to read it here.
I thought freepers were smarter than this, and also had better manners. MSM and the liberals have really succeeded in tarnishing the boomers and it appears many have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
We also gave you the Internet and the AFL NFL merger.
Your post was wonderfully passionate!
