tk27,
Funny how when someone prepares to patronize you they usually begin with "respectfully", or "no offence".
I was the last year of the baby boom (64). My parents were law abiding, respectful, catholic, and patriotic. Interestingly enough my parents were conservative Democrats (if you can recogize that term. Alas I doubt you can). Damaged goods? Hardly.
My father was a police officer in Phladelphia during the 60's riots. I have heard enough stories about the protests to recognize that hate for authority, patriotism, this country, race that is spewed forth on the news today. Add to that my own experience with riots as a police officer over the last 17 years which confirms for me that a great deal of young people today are bereft of common sense and direction. How is this possible when all those protests of the 60's sought change in our society? Try this:

The majority of those who volunteer for service to this nation understand what it means to fight for principles and ideals. Freedom of oppressed people is a noble cause yes? Explain then why you believe so passionately in a man who disregards that fight?
-Who insincerely apologized for a remark about their lives "wasted" in the war attributing the remark as a "slip of the tongue":

-Who has the most liberal voting record in the United States Senate:

Your use of the standard liberal tag lines concerning conservatives (Conservatism in this country has become a belligerent, ideologically bankrupt, populist movement largely because of such tactics. It was a deciding factor in 2004 that is certain.) is laughable and belies your own liberal leanings.
Baby boomers are ruining this country? I disagree with you Lad. It is liberals that are rotting away at my country, and we the people are fed up with it Republican, Independant, and Democrat (what few left there are).
COLawman was right on with his response. If we forget history, or allow people to alter history to suit them (liberals, cough cough) we
are doomed to repeat it.
