(13,616 posts)It is good to see that you have not changed, however, keep in mind, while many Boomers have fought the good fight, there are many, from PJ O rourke on, who have sadly done the opposite. I have fought with Boomers who proudly tell me how radical they were, and because they know that, they know liberalism is mush. As much as I would love you to be the face of your generation, there are others, especially when yuou cosnider the two boomer presidents were W. (nothign need be said) and Bill, who, for all the good he did, also did a lot of bad, especially because he made it possible for democrats to demonize the poor, as well as gutting out a lot of what FDR fought for in the regulations that should have defined us. It is okay if you feel Obama was not progressive, but we cannot ignore the damage Bill did.
To sum: Yes, I love the Boomers that kept their soul, but there are some who sadly, did not.
