Is that all there is? Baby Boomers finally face reality…

The bell tolls for the Baby Boomer generation. They’ve arrived at the point in life when there’s more behind them than in front of them. Time to face your legacy, both personal and generational. It’s not a pretty picture. The generation of free love, free dope and free thinking has pretty much made a hash of everything. Somehow, they managed to transform 60s counterculture into monstrous governmental intrusion, replete with all the hallmarks of socialist dictatorships America had managed to vanquish over the last century. That’s the dismal legacy of the Boomers — through their own stupidity, lack of ethics and personal ambition, the intellectual ‘elite’ of that generation have brought this country a bitter harvest. They managed to turn America into a land of whiners, professional victims, thieves, vultures and con artists. And Bill Clinton is their poster child, whether they like it or not. When Hillary Clinton failed to win the Democratic nomination, it signaled the beginning of a decline in Boomer influence over politics. Barack Obama belongs to a younger generation of fools.

The triumph of situational ethics over morality, the worship of vice over virtue and the degradation of society took place once Boomers stepped in to take over the reins of government, business, academia and the media. The Boomers made drug addiction, promiscuity and criminality almost saintly virtues. They made excuses for antisocial behavior and promoted identity politics, race-baiting and victimology.  They tolerated, even promoted, a deep and abiding hatred for middle America. The Baby Boomers are responsible for the culture of entitlement and the manifestation of parasites in every form, from boardroom to the barrio.

The Baby Boomer ethos - ‘me-first-and-always’ - has permeated every corner of American society, turning this nation away from its founding ideals and the rugged, self-reliant individualism that personified Americans of days passed. We are stuck with this mess. And no amount of liberal hand-wringing and self-hate will undo the damage. Only the passage of time and generations can offer a possible cure. Hopefully, our childrens’ grandchildren won’t repeat the same mistakes.
