Show me where, in that original post...you may be fantacizing that you did, but IT AIN'T THERE!
Words mean things. And little words and modifiers can drastically change the meaning of a statement or word.
My original statement that you are referring to is:
“How the WWII generation, the epitome of self-sacrifice gave rise to the most Self-ist generation is beyond me. But this country and the world will pay the price of self-centered Baby Boomers for generations to come.”
In that statement, I said the WWII generation were the epitome of self sacrifice. I then coined a term, the “self-ist” generation. After that I specifically referred to the "self-centered Baby Boomers," a very specific SUBset of the entire generation. Are all members of what is called the “Me” generation selfish? No. That term refers to those members of the generation to whom that term applies.
The radicals of the Baby Boomers (the draft dodger, war protesters, sexual revolutionary, tune-in, turn-on, and drop-out types) were not the ONLY members of that generation. They were the “self-ist” members of that generation. I coined the term (added -ist to “self”) to demonstrate that PART of the Baby Boomers turned selfishness into an ideology or form of religion. But they were not the only members of the Baby Boomers. In my opinion, they were the loud minority, like the anti-Americans of today.
In my opinion based upon what I’ve studied, the MAJORITY of Baby Boomers were pro-American. Countering the selfish part of the Baby Boomers you have the Viet Nam vets, for whom I have vast respect and admiration. They are like their parents in their selflessness (self-sacrifice). And I also know that the majority of Americans supported our troops then. Unfortunately, the demands of the loud minority were what the media broadcast then, were the demands that led to harmful change, and what are praised today by America’s Left.
Obviously, when I wrote that generations will pay the price of the self-centered Baby Boomers, I was referring to the harm that the radical members of that generation have done to American culture and the economic damage they have caused by Socialist policies (big government, welfare state, and now, prescription medication and the failing of social security).
DFU understood what I was saying. You simply misunderstood my statement.
I did NOT criticize ALL Baby Boomers, just the Bill and Hillary Clinton types (the self-centered ones) from that generation.
