The generation of the 60’s may have put America in danger, but it will be the Generation of the 80’s that saves it.

Not so sure about that. The children of the boomers, as has been reported on this blog, can be even more radical than their parents. Remember the articles of aging hippies complaining of the “disrespectful” punks inhabiting their neighborhoods? Even to the ’60s hippies, today’s disaffected youth are far worse.

Most hippies were liberals, but not necessarily leftists. Indeed, while the ’60s hippies were smoking pot and saying “peace, dude” some of the following generation are much more angry and violent. Rather than “peace, dude” it’s devolved into “Kill Bush! There are No terrorists! Death to Israel!” While the hippies were naive, some of their children are nihilistic, morose, fatalistic – even anarchistic. I think that for every hippy then, there are two leftists to replace him now. And a leftist is much worse than a hippy. A hippy is just an idiot for want of knowing better. A leftist knows better and is on a mission.

Fortunately, today’s white urban birth rate is quite low. The higher birth rates are found in the rural areas and in the red states. Punks in San Francisco are not having too many kids. So maybe they will self-terminate as a cultural entity. Witness the anarchists of the Human Self-Extinction Movement. http://www.vhemt.org

jw, this is a painfully accurate point. The children of “the greatest generation” are “the worst generation”. It’s a conundrum.

Well I suppose it’s because they secured peace so effectually that following generations have it a lot easier and became flabbier and more flippant as a result. It looks like that peace is beginning to unravel though, it’ll be some century I tell you.

Good point. Ironically it was the children of the Greatest Generation that turned out this way. Their fathers got off those landing craft into a hail of bullets to save the world, only to have their children give it right back to the butchers.

Not that I’m advocating that sort of thing; just didn’t realise Berg was such a warmonger in implying the entire Middle East is our enemy.

Please don’t lump all us boomers with that detritus. My dad is a WWII vet, my late father-in-law part of the postwar occupation force. Neither Mr. Kimmer nor I have ever been part of that crowd.

I absolutely agree with Pappa Berg that Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda should get everything, absolutely everything they rightfully deserve. I’m thinking something along the lines of a MOAB. All we need is an address to make it all right.

See that is what I think of Allah and Mohammed…We shouldn’t just restrict it to Osama and Al Qaeda….

“I would recognize them as the true representative of a lot of people in the Middle East.”

Fine…I agree, but does that mean we can finally take the war to Islam and destroy them like we did the Nazis?

Like St. Cindy Sheehan, he lives off the death of his son.
It’s all he has left.

He, like Sheehan, is emotionally bankrupt and void of any outrage against his son killers. Instead to pursue a purgatory of hate against the country that would protect his life and liberties to the extent of the ultimate sacrifice.

I have no pity for them, I have no contempt, I have nothing.

In principle, I agree with Berg. AQ should be given what is rightfully theirs, which is a significant portion of a very warm place. This place, however, is not the Middle East.

Exactly!

It’s an offer he cannot refuse.

He is needing to get a tattoo on his forehead with the timeless quote from the jihadis:
“WE do not want anything from you.We want to kill you”

-bbz123

His son got that tattoo . .. it didn’t make a difference.

For a liberal there is no contradiction whatsoever between the statements that AQ represent a lot of people in the middle east and that one cannot tar everyone with the same brush, just because of the extremist actions of a few.

Actually, there is no connection between reality and liberal fantasy. Children sometimes play “let’s pretend”; liberals live their lives that way. This conflict does not hinge on “disenfranchised” people, it hinges on the conflict which has its roots between Isaac and Ishmael. It cannot be fully understood until and unless it is viewed in a Biblical perspective. Whatever your philosophic or religious point of view, the only way to comprehend what is now happening is against a Biblical backdrop.

Liberals work full time dismissing and ridiculing the one source document that defines the problem, then try to apply their own solutions; i.e. “peace” and “love”, however they define them.

This is the result of everyone defining their own “truth”.

It appears to me the wrong Berg was decapitated

Not a day goes by that I don’t read to them or watch a DVD with them about the sacrifices given by our US Servicemen and women from our noble American history.

They will be our future, they will carry on when I am gone.

Until that day they will continue to learn from me how to honor those that have come before them, and how to help keep the nation free against all “enemies foreign and
domestic”.
