Yep, to most of what you wrote.
SOME of us, however, never burned anything but the lights while working late.
SOME of us never protested the war as maybe we should have, being patriots and all.
SOME of us actually bought into the nuclear family, work ethic and moral value thing.
SOME of us voted Republican.
SOME of actually listened when H. Ross Perot said that the sounds we would be hearing would be a great sucking sound as companies left American shores.
SOME of us learned a great deal from Viet Nam, and while we may or may not support our leaders and their policies, will NEVER treat a member of the armed forces with anything but respect and honor. "we suck............" Well, I suppose some of us Boomers do, but SOME of us have retained the values taught to us by our forefathers

I hear you. My post was slightly tongue in cheek with the "we suck" comment. But all the things that I mentioned that are going on politically is residue from people our age, and something better be changed rather quickly (imo).

I was in college from '64-'68, then spent a couple of years in the Army Security Agency. Nevertheless, all of us who did some things well back then better band together now to somehow kick these "heathen"/socialist/anti-American elements out of the government (Democrats out FIRST).

But as I observe, nearly all the "boomers" in the Congress, most of them, in my mind, are just worthless people who the Founders would want to at least tar and feather.

Oh well, "we suck".

Somewhere in the Nixon Library, I suppose, rhere are millions of checks written to Nixon for the amount "all my support"......the silent majority.....one of those checks bears my signature.
