Leftards 同 Hippies 有咩野關係 ?
http://lunaticsasylum.blogspot.hk/2012/04/seven-reasons-why-barack-obama-will-be.html
6. Obama is the Prototypical Post-Hippie Intellectual With No Intellect: The generation that came of age during the 1960's and '70's is, perhaps, the worst generation of human beings this world is yet to see.
I do not make that charge lightly, given the historical facts of the Russian Communists, the Nazis, The Huns, The Mongol Hoardes, The Spanish Inquisition, The Vandals, Japanese Kamikaze pilots, The Khmer Rouge, and the Spice Girls, but when you stop to consider the cumulative damage done to a society and a culture by a single generation of people, no one has been more destructive -- and mindlessly so -- than those people we quaintly refer to as "Baby Boomers".
The Baby Boomer generation is identified by possession, in spades, of five omnipresent and persistent personality traits:
a. A propensity to treat Ethics as if they were made of rubber. This is largely due to the 1960's counter-culture's rejection of all things traditional, and a reflection of it's mantra "If it feels good...do it.". If you need to know how this affects your life, take note: the people in positions of authority who presided over the Housing Bubble are Baby Boomers. The majority of the current crop of politicos making decisions which ruin your life on a daily basis, and who insist that spending borrowed money four times over is sound economics, are Baby Boomers. The people indoctrinating your kids at State University -- where prices are high, and achievement is low -- are Baby Boomers. The people who lie to you on the evening news are Baby Boomers, or at least, they're told what to say by Baby Boomers. I rest my case.
b. A deep and abiding self-worth which is often divorced from the reality of having done anything to actually merit such a high opinion of oneself. This over-estimation of self-worth is, unfortunately, the natural by-product of a mollycoddled generation given every material comfort imaginable and then addicted to drugs and sex as a means of "escape".
c. A persistent belief that Eternal Youth is possible, especially if someone else pays for it. In this case, Eternal Youth is measured largely in avoiding minor-but-irritating maladies that older generations suffered in silence, preferably by taking some super-expensive pill, and in a false currency of erections and orgasms. The primacy of this ideal -- Eternal Youth for Free, with Lots of Sex, whilst avoiding the creaky prostate and mesothelioma that killed my parents at all costs -- is at the very foundation of every initiative undertaken by a Baby Boomer.
d. A delusional belief that the "Me Generation" had achieved vital and important milestones in the march of human civilization which, after deep study and due dilligence, I am singularly unable to identify in retrospect.
e. A refusal to take responsibility for anything. This is the Generation of No-Fault Divorce, No-Fault Auto Insurance, Latchkey Kids, Studio 54, The Anti-War Movement, all are manifestations of this desire to avoid personal responsibility. The Anti-War Hippies of the 1960's will tell you they fought for peace; what they "fought" for was the right to avoid military service which ruins your buzz. The current manifestation of that movement, resurrected as the "Occupy" nonsense, is simply a mass movement of the braindead, who have been indoctrinated in college by the Aging Boomers, who then take center stage at these rallies in an attempt to relive the tragic (and they believe "romantic") waste of their own youths. The message today is the same as that nearly 50 years ago: Do it to someone else, But Not me.
Barack Obama never takes responsibility for anything, Everything is always someone else's fault. He's never done anything wrong; when things don't work out as planned or are inadequately explained (and often inexplicable), it's always a matter of partisan politics, or resistance from whatever group it's fashionable to hate today, it's George W. Bush's fault, it's Republicans' fault, the dog ate his homework, yada, yada, yada.
Try to ask Obama a direct question and pin an answer on him and he gets all smugly indignant, as if you have some nerve trying to hold him to some sort of standard. Criticize Obama and you get the usual litany of "it's not my fault" followed by a concerted campaign of public approbation and denunciation, often vicious, but always childish. It is the reaction of a person who comes from a generation that has never believed that responsibility ever attached directly to them, and who invented a whole mode of philosophic tropes to reinforce the notion that someone else is always responsible, i.e. "Society", "The Government', et. al.
