Frankly, I’m pretty sick of these articles. I’m a baby boomer. The half of this country that is voting McCain has my half of boomers to thank for fighting to preserve traditional values.
Me too...Boomers won the Cold War under the leadership of Ronald Reagan.
Boomers like me got the All Volunteer Force off the ground back in the Carter years.
David Petraeus is a Boomer.
Screeds like these pop up when a columnist has writer's block and has less than two hours to make his deadline.
Same here, I'm sick of this slamming of our generation. If it weren't for the boomers, Ronaldus Magnus would not have been elected. If it weren't for the boomers, the conservative movement would be dead in its heels.
I volunteered to serve our country at the end of the Vietnam War. Most who served were volunteers. We boomers sacrificed over 50,000 lives in Vietnam, only to be betrayed by a Congress that chose to turn their backs on us and give South Vietnam to the Communists. Was it boomers who were in office back in the early 70's when this happened?
I too am a Baby Boomer and with all the problems of the 60’s and 70’s one thing we had is the Traditional Family.
We had parents of the Greatest Generation, parents who taughts us traditional values, working hard, doing the right thing, when we were out of line had the right to spank our behinds without it being called child abuse.
We knew what is was like to play outside all day, yet be home before dark to sit down to the family table and have dinner....And even though many strayed into the world of rebellion, every friend of mine in there 40’s and early 50’s are traditional people who remember what our parents and teachers believe it or not! taught us...
Amen, I too am a boomer, one of the earlier ones. I raised 4 children on my own, sent them to college and was never given a dime from anyone else’s pocket. Maybe the younger group are spoiled, but not us older ones.
I agree. As a baby boomer; I am not amongst the idiots that want to tear this country down. Don’t sell us short. The problem is not the baby boomers; it’s the left nutwings of this country and outside of it.
