Bio

I'm a senior "first wave" boomer who acknowledges that the whiner generations that followed us from the '70's on are our fault. Spawned and spoiled by the war-weary generation that came of age in the Great Depression and WWII, we are the original spoiled ones who had no reason to respect our neighbors. We had no inherent need. We whined and the world collapsed around us. A huge influence in that was Dr. Benjamin Spock and his anti-family ilk, but that is done and done well. Don't try to rationalize that into the one and sole cause because the reality is you had and still have a brain. And the damage Spock and our unwitting parents caused is self-sustaining, but at least our parents cared about us and thought they were doing the best thing. They were, and are still, the Greatest Generation. Compared to generations before us, what do we leave? What indelible points or scars litter the world we leave behind? Abortion and divorce on demand, the destruction of our nation's Constitutional freedoms, the invention and embracing of Constitutional "rights" that are not even in the same universe as the original, the ruination of innocence for children, relativism, the death of truth, the dissembling and murder of Christian influences, the hate crimes of feminism and homosexual special privileges, rampant pornography, the degradation of women, child abuse, STDs of the old favorites variety as well as new and improved, the elevation of federalism over freedom, terrorism, unfathomable personal and national debt, lying elevated to an art and a virtue, a growing willingness to embrace the religion of hate called islam (small "i" and insult intended), and preferences given to groups so minute they don't even make it onto a demographic scale...each and all of these, and the ramifications thereof, are our legacy. Our legacy. Stand proud. We destroyed this nation from within. For the literate, Pogo was right as rain when he said, "We have met the enemy and he is us." He was represented as speaking of America at large. In historical fact he was actually speaking of the brat kids of the 60's. But we children of "The Greatest Generation" can still effect positive change, and God help us in doing it. We can spend the rest of our lives effecting the re-establishment of America. That can still be our gift. We must rise to the cause. Only we can do it because, in horribly naive cynicism, it was we who rose once before, most strongly in the 60's, to tear at the innards of ourselves and our progeny. The 60's, that worst of all decades. We worshipped ourselves, whoredom, the death of reality. We spawned today's plagues, physical and moral. We've been there. We know the truth. And we know the paths we took, if we'll only stop and remember. We can expose and fight what we have done to the world. Subsequent generations don't know any better. They rose in the ashes of what we destroyed. They learned history that we rewrote. They were soiled by principles that we made leprous. They don't know, and why would they want to, anyway? To wade in our filth to figure it all out? Not their job. It's ours. We boomers are "the rich" whom we have taught our nation to despise because, in our own self-loathing, we continue to sedate ourselves but this time not with drugs. We have largely ourgrown that, or it us. No, our sedation today is denial and the insulation of withdrawal. We no longer go out, for we know that we are the truly ugly Americans who forever bear the burden of what our progeny does or does not do. Let us come together for change. Know the truth. Fight ignorance. Fight deception wherever you meet it. Leave a better legacy while there is still a place to leave it. Our existing legacy was forged in a war of our own making, and that war rages in minds and souls to this day. It will be undone only by turning that war back on itself and, as its creators, we alone are in the best and only position to lead that turning. It can be done by returning to values we worked so hard to destroy. It is a battle, and many of us quite literally will die in it due to age and exhaustion. But we owe it. Oh, yes, we owe it. To our nation and to those who will live in what remains of our dwindling freedoms, the freedoms we so cavalierly threw away. We owe it to those around us. Stand and fight.
