132. Yes

I do not disagree with that statement one bit. An odd memory i have in grade school that only a few of us kids saw Reagan as a bullshit artist. To everyone else, he was Jesus Christ.

My generation were some of the first to be totally sucked into the RW talk radio and Fox news worm hole. The repeal of the fairness doctrine paid off for the right.

Combine that with the religious Satanic panic, anti-gay fear mongering of the 80's, and I'd say you have a nearly brainwashed generation.

A fun thing to do is to simply mention President Clinton to your typical RW gen-x person. They usually get foaming at the mouth mad, HOWEVER, they can't come up with a specific reason why. All they know is what they've been told. Same thing goes for Hillary, Obama, and really anyone that has a "D" at the end of their name.

Perhaps this was the endgame of the radical right, or a happy accident. The generations ahead of mine are becoming more left as we go along. I hope good wins out in the end before it's too late.

Meh, enough musing from me, i got stuff to do.
