Baby boomer nostalgia is already oppressive. It’s about to get so much worse.

[Suzanimal]

This is what talent shows like American Idol needs. Vocal talent combined with enduring long performance schedules and your performance enhancing drug of choice.

Hell yeah!

 

[Lucille]

LOL

Now, there is no need for the boomers to start complaining that Not All Boomers Are Like That. In the context of speaking about AN ENTIRE FREAKING GENERATION it is well understood by everyone that NOT EVERY INDIVIDUAL PERFECTLY FITS THE OBSERVED GENERATIONAL MODEL.

Especially Boomer Paulians!

Now stop being so defensive and acting like typical Boomers already.

Criticizing Baby Boomers makes the successive entitlement generations look a lot less obnoxious, doesn't it?

It also deflects responsibility from the real culprits.

 

[euphemia]

One would think liberty lovers would eschew these divisive political labels. Since the day I was born, the United States government has been reaching into my family to take away something that does not belong to it. Up. to. here.

I'm a Boomer.....

Yes

 

[euphemia]

I don't know how my mom did it. My dad was posted overseas for the bulk of their marriage. That might explain why I was born a little later in life for them. My mom's sister lost a fiance in Korea. Many of my mom's classmates were in WWII and Korea. My dad was in both of those and Vietnam.

It makes it hard to be entitled while fighting and sacrificing for everyone else's freedom.

 

[timosman]

This is another wedge aimed at the American people. Divide and conquer.

 

[Lucille]

LOL Brace your precious selves!

 

[euphemia]

I think maybe successive generations need to thank the boomers. They are the ones who dared to speak up about the atrocities of war and the injustice of government. Thanks to the boomers, the liberty movement has a chance.

 

[Lucille]

LOL Oh we need to thank them, do we?

Like Stefan said, Boomers need to apologize for once in their selfish lives.

You should check out the WaPo comments section under those pieces, euphemia. I'm sure you'll enjoy the thousands of Boomers' self-congratulatory posts (as delusional as they may be)!

More divisive horseshit raising its ugly head again on the Ron Paul forums. WTF

 

[oyarde]

Best I can tell , for the most part , since , oh .....1912 or so at least , majority of voters pretty well suck.

 

[euphemia]

Boomers are the ones paying the bills. Everyone else needs to push away from the entitlement table.

Attacking the ones paying the bills is just one more way of promoting liberal, big government redistribution of wealth.

Yeah. The boomers aren't the generation that voted in Social Security and the New Deal bullshit.

 

[VIDEODROME]

If the good ol' days where so great, and the Boomers now run the world, then why does everything they touch turn to shit?

 

[thoughtomator]

Yeah. The boomers aren't the generation that voted in Social Security and the New Deal bullshit.

No, but they're the ones who made damn sure that no reform of these programs would happen during their own time, and that their posterity would be completely screwed by them.

The Boomers aren't and have never "paid the bills" - they have racked up debt - an amount so enormous it has never been seen before in the history of man - and given the bills to their kids to pay.

My parents generation, my generation and your generation are racking up debt, it's not just one group.

However it's pretty clear at this point that neither mine or my parents generations are going to do anything about it.

The ball's in y'all's court......
