As an Xer I too blamed the Boomers for along time, however I think it goes much deeper than one generation. The WWII generation fostered the sterile suburban environment a lot of Boomers grew up in brought on by their uber-materialistic world view fostered by the Great Depression. The WWII generation ushered in Roe v. Wade, Vietnam,the Great Society no-fault divorce, etc. It was not the boomers that oversaw these policy changes. However conservative boomers much acknowledge they lost major battles in the culture war ceding the fields of culture and education to the liberal “masters of the universe”. That gave us pc, affirmative action, etc.
Our civilization is withering on the vine and there is ample blame top go around. Think about it even “conservative Boomer leaders” have various ex wives and are corrupted by the culture as well. Every generation has its sins to atone for. I think the “Boomer We’re Just Great” bubble is bursting and it should.

Exactly, the more accurate battle is and always should be liberal vs. conservative ideals across each generation.
Palin and Obama are both boomers after all...in fact so is Biden.
To be more precise, I see godless failed liberalism and secular humanism ruining our cultrure via the NEA and PC run rampant and attacks on Christian culture with incessant separation of church and state PC idiocy as more to blame.
Look what failed secular humanism allowed Europe to become:
a moral vacuum filled with militant Islam!
