With all due respect the problems cited were due to socialist control of all media and the school system by a conspiracy that never a theory.

The socialist/picko, like the Clintons for example, are the ones who should be remiss over their beliefs and hunger for power.

I am sick and tired of the Boomer bashing. MOST of us have worked hard our entire lives. MIllIONS of us volunteered to serve in the military in Vietnam AND after, who do you think it was who manned the defenses that brought down the Soviet Union during the Cold War? Who do you think fought Desert Storm? Who do you think LEADS the current military? WE didn’t put in place the “Great Society” or Medicaid. WE didn’t put the judges on the Supreme Court that decided “Rowe”. WE weren’t the ones in Power in DC that bungled bothe Korea and Vietnam. We weren’t the ones who broke the piggy bank that was the “Greatest Generation” (Welfare, Medicare and Social Security).

Sorry but I have NOTHING TO APPOLOGIZE FOR.

Oh, please! Lumping all of us into the "Make Love, Not war" group is preposterous. Most of us did not protest, burn our bras, or spit at troops. Most of us were going to college, getting married, working hard, taking care of our aging parents and kids...

We also made a pathway for women to work in jobs other than secretary or teacher, even though many of us started in those positions and had to work like hell to move into professional jobs in the business world.

The worst thing we did was to spoil our kids even worse than our parents, since we end up with whiners like this who take their opportunities for granted since their expectations are now higher because of us.

Lose the attitude and make changes if you want a different world. And remember that the "other" baby boomers did not have the new media to present their views.

All this focus on generations is a lazy and prejudicial way of looking at things.

It was the boomers who took down the Soviet empire, kids.

The question is, why did the Greatest Generation spoil their kids so badly? - PING!

Assigning generational guilt is the sign of a lazy thinker, Prager, and makes you look the fool.

Not all Boomers are socialist, but there are many, many socialist Boomers!

Well I'll tell you a few things about the boomer generation that are different than the younger generations.

We were kind, thoughtful, concerned, helpful and polite. I see none of these qualities in many of the self serving young people today.

They would sooner run you over than step around you, that is, if they see you at all.

Excellent article by Prager. Makes us aware of what we have lost.

Does this mean that all of us GenXers will eventually be apologizing for the Clintons

Hey, all you freeping Baby Boomers...don't sweat this nonsense. Those of us with any kind of brain know where to lay the blame for our country's ills. Without all of you, we'd be in a far bigger mess.

I'm not apologizing.

For one thing, I was 10 years old when all the hippie stuff reached its peak.

Secondly, I voted for Reagan twice. I'm really a member of Generation Reagan.

Thirdly, collective guilt by class is a leftist concept.

Finally, if we are going to go leftist and label a whole "worst" generation, I think the woe is me whining of the vocal partisans of "Generation X" give that unhappy breed a leg up on being the worst.

The greatest success of the Left has been achieving tolerance for their insanity.

You don’t have to apologize for the music, though.
