Showing a picture of one protester and painting a whole generation with the same brush is as dishonest as if I were to claim that Snoop dog represents Xers. Or if I were to post some Xer's picture holding the same sign and saying that that fringe dweller's represntative of most of his generation. It's cute but not honest.

"Like I pointed out before they (GG)were simply in many cases just naive"

Which is it, were they naive of founts of great wisdom...it can't be both.

"They (GG) never deliberately set out to undermine America and all the values that makes it great".

Roe v. Wade, the welfare state, the immigration disaster, the destruction of industry, the downward drive in mass media/culture etc...all GG gifts to sustaining the character of America. You have no way of divining intention on anyone elses's part.

"I have great parents even though they are boomers but I am the exception to the rule."

"I am the exception"? A bit narcissisistic and, I will state wrong. Your parents raised a whiner who casts himself as victim.

And, btw, what are you doing personally in our current war? Waiting to be drafted?

But there are many times more baby boomers who are living on the "fringe" as you put it stuck back in the 60's than Xers behaving as Snoop Dog.

"Like I pointed out before they (GG)were simply in many cases just naive"

This article and myself praise the courage and valor of the GG more than their wisdom, But who says you can't be both. They had to wisdom to rise up to meet the threat of fascism but socially and politically they were naive.

"They (GG) never deliberately set out to undermine America and all the values that makes it great".

OK, We are in agreement about the GG.

However the baby boomers are not only not trying to fix/reverse those things but instead they took them to even further extremes.

Roe v. Wade: The actual decision really has little to do with the obscene number of abortions in the country as abortion was legal in many(most?) places before. It was the baby boomers who made a baby a "Choice" and brought forth the abortion on demand culture.

The welfare state: umm, Who just voted themselves a prescription drug benefit?

Immigration: The baby boomers took that disaster and gave us multiculturism 

Destruction of industry: LOL! "Friends of corporate America" is not the phrase anybody thinks of when they think of the Baby Boomers.

That's why the Baby Boomers are the worst generation, They took the worst traits of the GG and took them to even worse extremes while rejecting their best traits like patriotism, sacrifice and family values.

"I have great parents even though they are boomers but I am the exception to the rule."

"I am the exception"? A bit narcissisistic and, I will state wrong.

And many Xs and Ys that suffered through your divorces and/or were latched keyed and came through your educational system will disagree with you.

Your parents raised a whiner who casts himself as victim.

Typical baby boomer self absorption. I'm suppose work to pay off probably a 45 trillion dollar debt by the time you are all gone and pay for you baby boomer's viagra, All the while baby boomer elitist take more and more of my freedoms away and work to undermine my country and all the values that make it great and I'm supposed to be quite and happily go along with it because you baby boomers are just so wonderful and so much smarter than all of us and done so much for this country or else it's called whining?

Sorry but I don't think so. 

And, btw, what are you doing personally in our current war? Waiting to be drafted?

Well for one I am not spitting on troops or calling them baby killers.

Secondly I'm 34 years old so they wouldn't take me even if I tried to sign up, But if my country needed me I would go in a heartbeat.
