A powerful essay by Bill Luse

Apologia: “It was indeed my generation that brought a strain of liberalism to its place of ruinous prominence, and which I thought had found its most publicly admirable apotheosis in the person of the philandering, perjuring, pot-smoking, draft-dodging William Jefferson Clinton. But I was wrong. Clinton was only the storm front. Obama is the whirlwind. It was my generation that made drug use (and contempt for the law) respectable. We made education universal and ideological. We made lust, not war; we made it ‘free’ and children became an annoyance. We liberated women by encouraging them to leave the home, after first enslaving them to birth control and opening their wombs to the executioner’s blade. We fulfilled the promise of free speech by rendering religion irrelevant in the ‘marketplace’ of ideas. We loved peace almost to the point of pacifism (unless the violence was being incited by the Chicago 7), and the founding ideals of our country so much that we never tired of exercising our first amendment right to convey the degree of our hatred for it. There’s an essay to be written about it all, but it’s a very long one. In the meantime, I compensate by condemning in others what I most despise in my own past. You can thank me later for the diagnosis.”
