I am a 60+ Baby Boomer and darn proud of it. My father fought in WWII as part of the "Greatest Generation Ever". The Baby Boomers have seen more advances in world change than any generation ever before. But I believe in the past few decades, probably since WWII, we have become complacent and passive. Many did not believe in the Viet Nam war and fled the country, while many died in Viet Nam. But on September 11, 2001, this country was again united when a group of fanatics who have hated non-Islams for thousands of years did something that has not happened before. Attacked us on our own soil, after passivity and complacency allowed them to enter this country in the first place. I guess it had been called political correctness. This country joined hands, bowed their heads and prayed together and were friendly to their neighbors, and thankful to be alive. But it did not last.
Now I am seeing another rising up of "we have had enough and we are not going to take it any more" spirit in this country at the town hall meetings. The conservatives are finally speaking out. When Obama, who had no training for his new job was elected, many of us knew we were doomed. Nancy Pelosi, has been running rough shod over the Senate and Congress while Obama is out jetting around in his new ride. He should have taken the helm. Does he ever spend any time in that oval office.
I am hoping that we can all continue to fight the evil that has taken over the white house and capital building and make this country strong again, and make our forefathers proud. Don't let them down. They left Europe for a reason. They also believed in God.
