‘Listen up, Boomers: the backlash has begun’

November 16, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

(The author, a Boomer himself, misses the irony that — typical for a narcissistic Boomer — he’s apparently the last to know that the “backlash” started twenty years ago, at least…)

Collectively the Boomers continued to follow ideals they associated with youth and individualism: fulfillment and “creativity” rather than endurance and commitment.  Boomer spouses dropped families because relationships with spouses or children or mortgage payments no longer “fulfilled” them; Boomer society tolerated the most selfish and immature behavior in its public and cultural leaders out of the classically youthful and immature belief that intolerance and hypocrisy are greater sins than the dereliction of duty.  That the greatest and most effective political leader the Baby Boom produced was William Jefferson Clinton tells you all you need to know.
