Paul Streitz America’s Worst Generation By Paul Streitz Dec 26, 2005, 18:52

The valiant generation of Americans that fought World War II to preserve our liberty and western civilization was followed by the worst generation in the history of the country: the Baby Boomer generation born from 1946-1964.
The elite Baby Boomers turned the United States from the most prosperous countries on the planet to a country heading toward bankruptcy. It acquired a massive foreign trade deficit that will take generations to pay off. It deconstructed U.S. industries and the invited the invasion of millions of illegal aliens.
The Baby Boomers declared the Constitution to be a worthless piece of paper. It derided the notion that United States was unique place among the nations of the world and declared that it was only the equal of other countries, if not worse. The Baby Boomers mocked the nation’s Christian heritage and forced ordinary citizens to fight to keep Christmas in public places.
In David McClelland’s 1961 opus, “The Achieving Society,” McClelland shows that rises or declines in the “need for achievement” precede the economic rise or decline of a society. For him growing societies have a great deal of “need for achievement” This need for achievement plateaus as the society becomes wealthier and eventually declines. This precedes the eventual dissolution of the society. He notes that the wealth of the society prevents parents from developing self-reliance in their children. This lack of self-reliance leads to the children having a reduced need for achievement. Describing Athenian society, McClelland says,
What is new is that there is now evidence for a very specific way in which wealth caused “character” to “degenerate.” It enabled parents to provide slaves to care for their children, which deprived the children of the early self-reliance training the parents may themselves have received in less wealthy homes.
He elaborates,
It is tempting to speculate that one reason why practically all great civilizations of the past have declined after a few generations of “climax” is because families have nearly always used their increased prosperity to turn over the rearing of their children to slaves or other dependents, who “spoil” the children, or keep them dependent too long. For a time a civilization may draw its leaders with high n Achievement from the periphery, from portions of the society which have not as yet become wealthy enough to support slaves, but if the prosperity becomes too general, the effect may be to diminish the number of children with high n Achievement below some critical point needed to maintain the civilization. (pg. 128)
McClelland does not deal with the issue of n Achievement and the military, or attitudes toward the military. However, a cursory look at the rise and fall of any society from the Roman Empire to England indicates that there was first a shortage of males willing and able to defend their country, not a shortage of bankers, lawyers and priests.
The Baby Boomers emerged into young adults as the protestors to the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975. It might be that this was simply a war that should not have been fought, and certainly the case for that can be made. It also might be argued that the elite students were more independent and intelligent and were rejecting a flawed concept for the Vietnam War: the protection of another country. The protests to the Vietnam War were led by students at the elite Ivy League universities and private colleges. They were not led by students attending public colleges and universities. As time passed, the elite Baby Boomers did not diminish in their contempt for American society. The war protesters became the multiculturalists, the free traders, the globalists and the open border advocates of the coming decades. The Baby Boomers acted implicitly and explicitly to reduce the United States to rubble. The word that the academics of this generation use is “deconstruction.”
Never had a generation of Americans felt so entitled to wealth and comfort and at the same time felt no obligation to defend or protect the society that gave it to them. The word most people use to describe such individuals of the affluent Baby Boomers is “spoiled brats.” This generation invented new rights monthly and new entitlements daily, but these were never matched by any thought that they had any reciprocal obligations.
The significant change in attitudes toward the Unites States and the drop in n Achievement probably extended beyond the generation born from 1946-1964, but how many years, or decades, beyond that remains a question. One thing does seem certain as the fruits of the social and political changes brought about by the Baby Boomers drives the United States into economic catastrophe, the current generation of young people and college students is not entering the world into a era of prosperity, but an era of instability and uncertainty.
Certainly, in lectures I have given at colleges, globalization, outsourcing and immigration are great worries of college students. This generation of college students is far less likely to join in the deconstruction of American society because they have experienced economic decline, not the expansive level of wealth of the post-WWII generation. They take outsourcing, loss of manufacturing and the massive numbers of immigrants into the country as serious challenges. When you talk to the older Baby Boomers they talk of the wonders of multiculturalism and how we live in a globalized world. They completely ignore the fact that their children and future generations face a bleak future that they have created. In contrast, college students speak of their fears of the globalized world and the future lack of jobs.
It would be possible to conduct a long study of the decline in achievement in the American culture of the Baby Boomer Generation, but that is beyond the scope of this work. However, here is a brief example. In the catalog of 1961, the President of the Hamilton College, Robert Ward McEwen, reflects the views of his achievement orientation, stressing the qualities of the student and the need to pass on the cultural and intellectual heritage of the culture to the next generation. He speaks of dreams ambitions and goals. In short, while lacking specifics, it is high in achievement imagery.
…the essence of the matter is still to bring together young men of ability and ambition, young men of serious purpose who want to do something useful with themselves, with older men of deeper knowledge, riper wisdom, broad sympathy and some personal convictions about the business of living, which they believe worth sharing.
In 2005, Hamilton’s website makes a statement that surrenders achievement and individual accomplishment to getting along with others. Achievement, accomplishment and drive to succeed are put aside and the need for affiliation becomes paramount.
Above all, students should develop respect for intellectual and cultural diversity because such respect promotes free and open inquiry, independent thought and mutual understanding.
It is doubtful that the values of colleges and universities have much influence on the overall attitudes of the students at those colleges for any generation. They may reinforce existing attitudes or they may be completely ignored. Certainly, the affluent Baby Boomers completely ignored their classes in Western Civilization or American history. The levels of n Achievement are set in youth. Groups or individuals with low self-reliance and low need for achievement are not going to be influenced by courses on the glory and achievement of the United States.
The efforts of the Baby Boomer Generation were to deconstruct the United States. It would no longer be a country, but rather a place on the map in a globalized world. This deconstruction was and is a three-pronged attack: cultural, economic and demographic.
Beyond anything America had ever seen, the affluent children of the Baby Boomer generation engaged in an unmatched hedonism of sex, drugs and rock and roll, and a distinct rejection of every value held by their parents who were the generation that fought WWII. Divorce rates soared and marriage was seen as an option among various acceptable life styles.
The cultural attack was in a word “multiculturalism.” The stated purpose of multiculturalism was to promote a greater tolerance for minorities; the actual purpose was to destroy American civilization with relentless attacks on the Christian religion, the Constitution of the United States, marriage, the nation’s economic stability and the validity of the United States. Academics and cultural elites began proclaiming the virtues of multiculturalism and the objective of an education was diversity. The colleges and universities of the United States were the leaders in imposing the doctrine of multiculturalism in the 1990’s because the academics were now the affluent Baby Boomer Generation that had protested on the nation’s college campuses.
This unheralded promotion of a new utopian society, of course, flies in the face of the fact that every society that achieved cultural, political or military prominence was not diversified, but homogenous. It is not that the dangers of the multicultural world were not recognized. Richard Bernstein’s Dictatorship of Virtue: multiculturalism and the Battle for America’s Future published in 1995 was a sound warning of the troubled waters that lay ahead. He clearly pointed out that the multiculturalists cared little for any other culture, but were using diversity and multiculturalism as a way of empowering like-minded people to impose their values on American society.
Stephen Spielberg is the film director whose works best reflects the dependent psychology of the Boomer Generation. Spielberg’s first work was Jaws where a malevolent nature is exemplified by a shark that terrorized the population. Then he made ET where a visitor from space was an infantile creature yet had magical powers and was capable of building wondrous space ships. This extraterrestrial had to be protected by a pre-adolescent boy because the “authorities” wanted to kill or capture it. In Spielberg’s ET world, the adults are threatening, not protecting. Notably, in this film, the adult male of the family is not present to protect his family. The parents are divorced. Adults in Spielberg’s world are not competent, self-reliant individuals but terrified, destructive or missing.
Private Ryan is Spielberg’s rewriting of the accomplishments of the WWII generation. The motive of the soldiers as seen by the mission of an army captain is to rescue Private Ryan. On the unlikely premises that the U.S. Army could not find a soldier in its ranks, an Army officer risks the lives of his soldiers in the search for Private Ryan. It might be noted, that the American army both feeds its soldiers and regularly gets them their mail. A lost solider for any length of time is implausible, if not impossible.
Ostensibly written to eulogize the soldiers of WWII, it does nothing of the sort. It undermines their patriotism to the United States and willingness to risk and give their lives in its defense. Millions of Americans fought for in World War II, but it was not to enable their buddies to go home to their mother.
The elites of the Baby Boomer Generation never think of themselves as cowards. “Cowardice” and “bravery” are just not in their vocabularies. The “Me Generation” has no internal or external sense of conduct beside whatever it could get away with. Concern for the poor or minorities was nothing more than a scam to gain political and social power. The Me Generation’s total amorality from Bill Clinton to the Enron scandals was simply appalling to the average American. President Bill Clinton to this day does not understand why anyone might be upset with him.
The Free Trade economists led the economic attack of the affluent Baby Boomers. The United States had built the largest, most successful economy under the protectionist policies of Alexander Hamilton. Up until the 1970’s these were the economic policies of the Republican Party.
1912 Republican Party Platform: We reaffirm our belief in a protective tariff. The Republican tariff policy has been of the greatest benefit to the country, developing our resources, diversifying our industries, and protecting our workmen against competition with cheaper labor abroad, thus establishing for our wage-earners the American standard of living. The protective tariff is so woven into the fabric of our industrial and agricultural life that to substitute for it a tariff for revenue only would destroy many industries and throw millions of our people out of employment. The products of the farm and of the mine should receive the same measure of protection as other products of American labor.
With the affluent Baby Boomers in charge, American business went from being “American business” to “multinational” companies willing to use the cheapest labor anywhere in the world. Americans got a taste of Free Trade economics, with outsourcing, Made in China and listening to workers in India answer the phone for American Express. Free Trade was a magic economic theory for the Baby Boomers. No matter how much damage, no many how many jobs lost, no matter how many factories closed in the United States, it was all-wonderful because in their utopian, delusional, globalized world, “Everything always works out for the better.” Secure in their jobs in the higher reaches of business, academia and the professions, the affluent Baby Boomers could enjoy the benefits of buying goods made at slave-wage labor costs, with no personal loss of job security. The destruction of the American economy for future generations is no concern to the Baby Boomers, as long as the price of the stock they own keeps going up.
If one had to devise a plan to suck dry the economy of a country, one could not do any better than Free Trade. When the average American objected to the loss of jobs and financial security, the answer was “We now live in a globalized world, so get used to lower pay.” This was all coming from the educated elites in business, finance, academia and the media who did not have to worry about being replaced by a Chinese peasant on an assembly line.
NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) was the high watermark of the Free Trade movement. Passed by President Clinton, it indicated that the U.S. Government no longer had any responsibility to the economic welfare of the American people, but rather, increasing shareholder returns by using cheap foreign labor was the economic goal. Despite the objections of the labor unions and the American people, NAFTA was passed into law by the Democratic administration that had aligned itself with the multinational corporations.
The demographic attack on the United States started with the Immigration Act of 1965. The sponsors of this act promised that the total immigration into the United States would not change but the provisions for family unification resulted in an immigration of over one million per year. When it was obvious that there was over a million legal immigrants coming in per year, nothing was done.
Starting with President Bill Clinton and carried further by President George Bush the United States dropped the protection of the southern border of the United States. Internal enforcement of workplace laws was abandoned and an unabated stream of illegal immigrants flowed into the United States.
The elite, affluent children of Baby Boomers had their goal the destruction of the United States, the American civilization and the economic existence of the country. They have almost, but not quite, succeeded. Since they live in a bubble of their own self-complaisance, they have no real knowledge, experience or imagination to understand that others actually might harm them. Terrorists are misunderstood and criminals are but misguided. Nor, do they understand that the multicultural world of the Sorbonne is not the multicultural world of massive immigration, lowered living standards and a declining culture.
Yet, the influence of the affluent Baby Boomers is coming to an abrupt halt. The damage they have inflicted will be repaired and the United States will resume its position as the premier nation of the world; free, economically prosperous and proud of its traditions and history. This will not be brought about by the affluent Baby Boomers and multiculturalist, but by the nationalistic, patriots that are willing to take their case directly to the American people.
The Minuteman Operation led by Jim Gilchrist and Chris Simcox on the Arizona Border in April 2005 was a historic and monumental event in American history. It demonstrated the frustration the American people were having with the rule of the elite Baby Boomers. President George Bush steadfastly refused to protect the border and instead offered an Open Borders country with his various amnesty schemes. The American people were having none of that. Immigration will unseat a number of legislators in 2006 and a strong border control President will be elected in 2008.
Americans have realized that globalization is a giant fraud. They have realized that cheap prices at Wal-Mart are not worth the loss of job security and high income manufacturing jobs. Not since the French Revolution has a social, economic class so turned its back on the lives and struggles of the average American. “Let them eat globalization,’ is the cry of the Wall Street Journal and the supporters of the destruction of the American society. Americans have rejected that.
Americans are also rejecting the valueless, anti-Christian efforts of the Baby Boomer elites in media, government and academia. The average American is winning the cultural war. After decades of anti-Christian and anti-Christmas political attack, the average American is striking back. It is not the “Holiday Season;” it is “Christmas.”
“It ain’t over till its over,” said Yogi Berra. In this case, “It ain’t over, because it’s just begun,” as Americans fight to restore their culture, their borders and their economic prosperity.

And he's only getting 6 years for it??????

Illegal alien gets 6 years in death of WWII vet

BRIDGEPORT — Chester Dillahunt of Fairfield survived World War II and the Korean War to be killed at the age of 86 by a drunken illegal immigrant.
On Friday, Jeronimo Rocha, from Brazil, was sentenced to six years in prison for the crime. He'll be deported back to Brazil after he serves his term.
"I feel very guilty about everything that happened," Rocha told Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano on Friday. "I'm very saddened by the fact that somebody died."
"All of this suffering was caused by a man who was illegally in this country, driving drunk without a license and without insurance," retorted Fasano, as he handed down the sentence. But the judge stopped short of imposing the eight-year term urged by Assistant State's Attorney Howard Stein. "We are all aware the defendant didn't wake up that morning intending to go out and kill someone," Fasano said.
Rocha, 37, of Danbury, previously pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle.
According to police, shortly before 5 p.m. March 20, Dillahunt, of Gilbert Highway, Fairfield, was driving southbound on Black Rock Turnpike in his 2005 Pontiac Vibe when the 1996 Toyota Corolla, driven north by Rocha, veered over the double yellow line and crashed head on into him.
The impact of the crash caused Dillahunt's car to roll over and he was trapped inside, police said. Dillahunt, a retired lieutenant colonel in the Army who was a decorated veteran of both World War II and the Korean War, was in a coma for five weeks before he died.
Police said Rocha, who had a blood alcohol level of 0.247, told them he was driving home after attending a party in Bridgeport. While at the party, he told police, he drank at least six Coronas.
Rocha said he lost control while negotiating a curve in the wet road but didn't remember hitting the victim's car, police said.
He was treated for minor injuries.
Stein told the judge that this would be the first Christmas in 63 years of marriage that Dillahunt will not be celebrating with his wife.
"It's imperative that the court send a message to anybody who considers drinking and driving on this holiday season that this type of behavior will not be tolerated," he said.

'Shenandoah Rape' Suspect Escapes in Fla.
Wednesday, December 21, 2005

MIAMI — Police were in the middle of a massive manhunt Wednesday for the suspected "Shenandoah Rapist" who escaped from a correctional center in Miami-Dade County.
Reynaldo Elias Rapalo, 34, is accused of committing a series of rapes in Southern Florida before he was captured in 2003. He is the sole suspect in the rapes of seven victims, ages 11 to 79, and in the attempted attacks of four others since September 2002. He faces life in prison if convicted.
Rapalo is considered armed and dangerous.
Rapalo escaped from an opening in his sixth-floor cell at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at about 9 p.m. on Tuesday, The Miami Herald reported, citing a Miami-Dade corrections spokeswoman. It is unclear what tools he used to burst out.
Rapalo apparently climbed through a ceiling vent, strung some bedsheets together and scaled down from the roof to the ground. Another inmate, Idanio Bravo, 38, also tried to escape, but he broke his leg and was caught on the roof of the building, police said. Bravo is facing charges of sexual battery on a minor, The Herald reported.
The Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center is located in an urban area near the Miami International Airport.
Besides the seven rapes, Rapalo has been charged with attacking at least four more women. Rapalo was caught after DNA evidence showed he tried to attack a woman hanging her laundry in the middle of the day, police said.
Rapalo is an illegal immigrant who lives in the Little Havana neighborhood of Miami; police are worried that more crimes may have been committed that went unreported by other illegal immigrants.
According to The Herald, city police officers have been assigned to the houses of the victims. The Miami police chief said some victims have moved back to their home countries in places like Mexico and Honduras.
Plainclothes detectives and uniformed officers, aided by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and Florida Highway Patrol, are searching Miami-Dade looking for the rape suspect. Police officers are also monitoring airports and bus terminals.
Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
