Quit reading the minds of people that you don’t even know.

Quit making up your own definitions, boomers are 1946 to 1964, use the real dates and quit trying to make some childish argument.

The census bureau defines boomers.

The census bureau is run by government bureaucrats, hello? I suppose you think that makes them codified into law on stone tablets.

Generational cohort trends are just that - trends.

FYI - the census bureau has been known to change the dates on their classifications within living memory. The boomer cutoff used to be 1960 and 61-84 was Gen X.

And if you can't figure out that Obama identifies with the impulses and politics of 60's radicalism and that Palin identifies with the can-do independence of Reaganism, then your arteries have hardend a tad too much.

Here's a fun read on the subject.
