IT HAS BEEN A HUGE MISTAKE FOR WHIG BOOMER PUNDITS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HOW THINGS ARE NOW GOING

Eg:

"...Liberal Boomers naturally assumed that their legacy--their parents' and grandparents' achievements--would continue indefinitely, and liberal activists focused on new issues of race, gender, and sexual orientation.  Conservative Boomers meanwhile pursued long-term strategies to destroy the post-Second World War world--and they succeeded...."

LET'S JUST TRY TO INSTILL A LITTLE CLARITY INTO THE GENERATIONAL BLAME GAME

Some people tend to blame the boomers for having thrown away all opportunities in a frenzy of self indulgence.

Professor Kaiser seems to be in this camp.

PEOPLE DK BRILL BLAME THE BOOMERS FOR OUR MALAISE

excerpt from DK ON COMEY BOOMER NARCISSISM

"...I saw clues scattered through Comey's book about why Boomer leadership has been such a failure. Boomer leaders are self-centered, narcissistic, and focused above all on their own political well being. Such was Rudy Giuliani, Comey's first government boss, of whom it was said among his underlings, "the most dangerous place in New York is between Rudy and a microphone." Such were the Clintons, and Hillary's reliance upon tribal lawyers and suspicion of outsiders did a great deal to bring her down in the end. Barack Obama--who is not a Boomer--was different, but he could not overcome the inertia of the Boomer political class. Focused on individual self-expression in their youth, Boomers have created an individualist paradise in which we can no longer work together across political or tribal lines. This is not unprecedented--the aftermath of the Civil War was quite similar. But its effects will last for a long time. Comey's book helps persuade me, once again, that the new transformation of the United States that Strauss and Howe predicted more than 25 years ago is nearly over. We are stuck with the world my generation made...." DK

THE FIRST THING WE DO, LET'S KILL ALL THE LAWYERS

Henry VI, Act IV, scene ii
Steven Brill, Liberace, DK: 

If it's the Boomers' fault (that is their argument, it seems); 
then, it's causally especially boomer lawyers' special fault and culpability.......

I did not make this up.........read their stuff.

Ergo: Fleeced Millenials need to kill all Boomer lawyers, the traditional radical solution.....and nowadays, why not be radical?

Is this a Liberace Pundit Fallacy?

Is scapegoating on Liberace's Bias List? 

Oh, yeah, scapegoating is bias, or is it something else?

Maybe it's merely The Verdict of History, not scapegoating or bias. Just the objective facts, as they now seem to stand.

After all, who better than Millenials to adjudge, and to condemn, what the Whiggish verdict of history should be?

If it's not Whiggish, it's not history.

The blunders of Boomers have been, in my judgment, part and parcel of traditional and relentless American foreign policy blundering since they were colonial subjects of George III, to whom they should have remained.
