James Woods Blames the Hippie Boomers for Our Country's Demise

I blame my generation, the champions of abortion, drugs, radicalism and sexual dysphoria, if the Harris/Walz madness prevails in this election. As we matured, my generation foolishly let schools, media, and the culture itself slip into the hands of a Democrat Party even John…

James Woods is right.

The Baby Boomer generation, with their attention to free sex, love, and no responsibilities, has crashed into the present and ruined the future for the country.

Of course, it's not fair to blame every Baby Boomer. Many of them are stepping up and fighting the good fight against the moral rot pervasive in our country.

For the rest of this post, I will refer to them as Hippie Boomers.

And those Hippie Boomers, to this day, are proud of the liberalism which they forced into the country. 

I joined a Braver Angels event in Venice a few months ago. At this gathering, a group of red angels (conservatives?) join with the blue angels (liberals) to discuss how to come together and restore civility in the country, despite all the polarization breaking out in the country.

What struck me as interesting, though, was that one couple, an elderly couple of about 70 years old, were talking about how the country has embraced legal abortion and same-sex marriage all because of the efforts of the Baby Boomers. The two gave the impression that these changes for the worse were actually good things for the country.

After sixty years of steady moral degradation in the United States, we can clearly state otherwise. Treating children as commodities or annoyances to reject has harmed fellow feeling in this country. Exalting immediate gratification and moral license has created more harm, more division in this country, since people don't care about other people, and they do not consider the consequences of their actions nor the needs of the next generation.

Furthermore, those Hippie Boomers expected more from the country, more from the government without considering who was going to pay for it. They didn't care at all, since they don't care about anyone else!

Hence the backlash, hence the polarization in the country. That couple was also hostile to religion. They clearly did not like the notion that there is a moral order which they have to answer to, one which they cannot ignore.

The selfish entitlement of the Hippie Boomers has caused nothing but trouble for this country, and why so many subsequent generations see nothing but struggle going forward.
