And how well I know that mentality.
I was born in 1948.
Freshman year in college 1966.
The difference is, I dropped out two years later and enlisted in the Army, went to VietNam and came back to school in ‘73 with a very different perspective.
But I have a whole slew of acquaintances from that time who are exactly the ones of which you speak. Their intellectual weakness is surpassed only by their arrogance.
Thank you for your service on this Veterans Day!
Hopefully, we are seeing an end to that ‘60 and ‘70s generation in our government.
A few years behind them, I still had them pegged. Once the draft ended, they jumped right into playing the stock market and disco dancing. No more protest life for them!
Then, suddenly when Bill Clinton was elected, they once again became “deeply concerned” about war, the environment, all the old stuff. When W was elected, they decided to become “protesters” again. Because Republican.
The Obama Administration just let them go completely crazy by pandering to their uncanny ability to find Racism! Sexism! Homophobia! everywhere.
These people are complete fakes. Have been all their lives. And they’ve been running roughshod over us for way too long.
Good riddance.
