Vietnam is an ally against the Chinese.

Even Ho Chi Minh said, he’d rather smell French s__t for five years, than Chinese s__t for a thousand years.

The citizens in my former hometown of Eugene Oregon will finally be able to wear a hat that prompts them to say to each other, “Thank you for abusing those baby killers”.

60,000,000 dead since Roe. We know who the real baby killers are, and it wasn't our troops.

Yeah, that is nonsense, the generation is boomer, you are a boomer, and there is no ‘boomer philosophy’.

The under-30s were the biggest supporters of the Vietnam war of any age group and produced 10 million boomer veterans, Nixon won 52% of the under-30 vote in 1972, Wallace about 2% the democrat 46%.

Just about any figure you can name from the famous 1960s wasn’t a boomer.

Hey I’m just saying I was in elementary and middle school on the 60s and I was a freshman in 1968. I wasn’t involved with any of that Boomer s***.

I had the benefit of being in high school during Watergate and I was in college for a year during the gas crisis and the bottom fell out of the construction industry and I went in the military in 1976 but I was not a boomer and this Bommer2/Jones has been floating around for at least 20 years, Jones is more recent.

Writers can create any categories they want to, and they do, sometimes it is useful to them or advertisers or for a study or such, but the official categories are the real categories and the ones people talk about and are talking about.

And I still don’t know what you mean about “that Boomer s***”, boomer.

You seem to have some weird ideas about modern American history.

By a 220-210 margin, the House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with only one Democrat voting in favor. So, with only one exception these Democrat legislators establish a line for defense of abortion within their party that includes those born alive despite attempted abortion.

According to the logic for voting against this bill, an infant breathing air on its own outside the womb is not a fully human person. The medical personnel in attendance are not only absolved from any criticism in failing to provide care, but instead must intervene to kill the baby.

Now read the bill and to see if that not is a reasonable interpretation. So maybe this why we just can’t all just get along.
