DS writes, "More a sign of the continued Baby Boomer influence on the movement than anything truly meaningful" and of couse most of your posts include some such comment. What is your point in trying to alienate boomer conservatives? We are as opposed to the R. Paul/Paleocon anti-semites as you are, maybe more so, but you never pass up a chance to take a swipe. Seems to me you'd want all the friends you could get.

Without Chinese theft of stupid US technology they'd still be up to their knees in rice paddy and rowing around in little reed boats.

Hooray for the new social conservatives, goodbye to those icky southern evangelicals who have dominated far too long. We now favor hunting but not much else.
Hey, let's call ourselves the Ted Nugent conservatives!

Let's face it, everyone uses generalizations if it supports whatever particular argument they are making. And in fact many generalizations are true. "Italians like spaghetti and meatballs". True. "Englismen drink warm beer". True. "Germans enjoy hiking and singalongs". True from what I observed.

The problem is when people use generalizations that are not true, and continue to use them even when they know they aren't true. Because they just cannot give them up or their entire argument takes a hit. Of course, if their listeners are on the same page, then it doesn't matter. Everyone's happy as a lark to go along with the gag.

Hmm some good points. But do you think non-Boomers will be any less "suckers for technology"? I doubt it. In fact young people today would go through withdrawal if they couldn't twitter, or text, or order up movies online, or play with their wee-wee, oops I mean Wii. They are way more hooked on tech than older folks. And please tell me how boomers are any more pain-avoidant than you are?

What is wrong with so many of these actors/actresses? It seems that they've spent all their time exercising the "feelings" part of the brain while their reasoning skills are totally undeveloped, like about an eight year old. Amazing.

Well I couldn't say who looks more foolish, and I realize you have to write about something. But if at least once a week you read some blog post about those silly, destructive GenX'ers and how they've ruined the world or some such, then I'm sure that you'd have a comment about it, Ms Five Feet of Fury :)

And frankly, the whole thing is sort of like someone complaining about those awful 50's greasers with their slicked down hair and hotrods. I mean for the most part they stopped being greasers a long time ago didn't they.

Alright. And I was a boomer who went to work after HS, got married, served in the army, raised kids, and your Boomer rants are still tiresome.

Kathy sez, "What can I say? I’m a Pistol’s era punk, and we looked down on everything about longhairs...So the word “Woodstock” makes me sneer: a weekend of filth and mud, middle class kids playing primitives"

Yawn. Kathy goes off on another of her Boomer rants.

So, middle class kids dressing in leather (Pistols Punks) and imagining themselves to be rough and tough are any less ridiculous and sneer-worthy?
