I said the same thing 15 years ago. Although I still feel somewhat the same today, I have to erase a little too much credit given the 'Greatest Generation'. Who came back from the BIG War and gave us BIG Government programs? Roosevelt was bad enough with his 'New Deal' chit, but, Johnson's 'Great Society' programs are killing us as a Nation. Maybe the BIG War was a little too hard and they felt that any generation which follows need to be cuddled and looked after by BIG Brother. The results are us.

If you look at all the theoretical foundations of the left they were the formative ideas that the intellectuals of the 30s, 40s and 50s were the true warriors of. The intellectual warriors of the right did not start showing up in great numbers until the 70s and 80s.
Conservatism is at least equal to the left presently, that was not the case before the boomer’s.
