I don't think that all boomers meet the above quals. My Old Man was a near RINO, but my Grandfather, was hard corps conservitive, 19th Century (Born 1886), take no prisoners type. There were values and you went with them or you were one of those.
I went into the Army in 1965 and spent most of the next three years out of the country and came back to a different world. The thing that I miss most is the loss of values, those lines drawn in the sand that define civilization and personal intercourse.
Bush is not a pre 1968 person, he is a follower of the Trickey Dick maxim of get elected as a Republican rule as a DemoRAT. He with Modification is his fathers son.
