First of all the moron is painting a generation with to wide a brush. Secondly , who taught the so called elite their values? Exactly. Just like the boomers didn't lose the Vietnam war (WW II veterans did) it sounds like someone in search of a coherent thought just went off the rails.

The Bommers were in the streets agitating for our defeat (e.g. Chicago 1968). Weak kneed politicians in the Dim party caved into their demands.

It was the generation of Baby Boomers on the college campus that caused the defeat.

We were defeated politically at home not on the battle field.

The only blame you can place on the 'Greatest Generation' is in their over indulgence of the 'Boomers'.

Dittos!

No, he is placing the blame on a certain segment of the BB generation, the elitist, liberal types. The same ones who love blaming every little problem this country has had on previous generations, and the ones most responsible for pitting one generation against another. And now that these idiots are in charge of things, they are getting a taste of their own medicine. This financial bailout mess can be laid squarely at the feet of the elitist boomers, whether it is those on Wall Street or in DC. You can't keep blaming previous generations for everything as most of them are dead, old, or retired.
