Baby Boomers will rise from the dead: Generation We
It’s like Baby Boomer zombies.
Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo.
Gee, I wonder if there are any conservatives in Generation We. Doesn’t look like it, from what they’re saying. But hey, that’s all right. I’ve always kind of thought that I was a 35-year-old trapped in a 24-year-old’s body.
Their declaration is pretty amusing. Oh my God, there are… are… diseases!!! They must be STOPPED!! People get cancer and stuff. And… people are, like, overweight and get diabetes. We have to do something!!!!!!1!!!1!!!1!!!11!!! Maybe eating right and exercising could help — you know, that whole personal responsibility thing — but it’s much better to get a movement going.
What I really found amusing was how in the video, Generation We is touted as the most intelligent generation EVAH. Yet, in their declaration, they say:
Our skills in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and engineering are far behind our peers in the nations with which we must compete.
They whine about good education being only available via private schools (for the RICH!!!), but hmm… no mention of the school voucher program that would allow students from impoverished areas in struggling schools to go to more expensive schools with better quality education. Nah, it’s better just to drone on about ideals than to actually do something.
Oh, and don’t get them started about the environment.
Then, of course, there’s the evil military, which apparently is just waiting to greedily gobble up our children to send them to never-ending wars where there will never, EVER be peace.
I think this, however, was my favorite quote:
We will defend our nation and its freedom with more vigor than any previous generation.
Really?!
Seriously… really?! With more vigor than any previous generation? What about the generation of the Founding Fathers? What about Lincoln’s generation? What about the “Greatest Generation” of WWII? Apparently, Generation We will put them all to shame.
It’s really pathetic, this Generation We thing, and I’m embarrassed to be lumped in with them. It’s the whole attitude of the Baby Boomers all over again. We’re so wonderful, we are magnificent, and we are the greatest thing to ever grace this country and the world. We see all social ills and we will fight against them all, and the world will live in harmony, and nature will sing, and it is all because we are so great and awesome and magnanimous. And they’ll tell you, without blinking an eye, that they’re humble, too. So humble.
Right. They’re the most self-congratulatory people on the planet, and the Boomers passed that trait on to their children, apparently. A group of people who have never accomplished anything really believe that they are the most intelligent, principled people ever to grace the United States? Seriously? Someone needs to give these kids a reality check — hopefully before they all turn into Baby Boomer zombies who continue the savaging of everything this country stands for.

I’d say God help us…but with age comes wisdom. They won’t be young and naive forever.
Man oh man. I am so glad I am 50 years old. Good luck you poor narcissistic largest demographic bunch of babies. I’ll be watching the fall from Wyoming!
From what I’ve observed, they got the spelling wrong as well; it should have been Generation Wii, always playing games and living in fantasy virtual environment.
This unholy mash up of Madison Ave. and politics leaves me feeling lied to, threatened, dirty and violated.
What can you expect from them. The country elected Pres. Barack Hussein Obama a man without a single accomplishment to his name except the ability to be elected to office and whose high opinion of himself far outstrips his accomplishments. He thus perfectly mirrors the droids in this video.
Truly anyone can be President in this country.
While it is wonderful that anyone regardless of race can become President, I did wish it had been someone who had a record of accomplishment. The times may be stormy and we have an untested (or rather someone who everytime the weather got stormy chose to bail out, which may be even worse) person at the helm. He definitely needs our prayers.
Since when are 8 year olds and 30 year olds in the same generation? And how can they complain about the national debt in one breath while asking the government to spend billions on alternative energy? Great – just another group of people looking to government to solve their problems.
