(53,331 posts)I was on campus during late '60s - early '70 participating in civil rights and anti-war activities and I distinctly remember setting up our table at the student union with other campus groups. One of those other campus groups was the Young Republicans who were antithetical to everything we stood for.
It always been so amongst the Boomers the dichotomy of the left vs the right and it has been that divide that has marched along with us through the decades, through Nixon, Carter, certainly through campaigning against Reagan/for Reagan, through campaigning against Clinton/for Clinton, and certain the same split carried on thru W the disaster Bush and through to campaigning for President Obama.
Pls don't lump all Boomer together as uncaring, fat cats. We are the original protest generation and we many times have wondered what happened to the GenX and Millenial protestors?
