PurpleSlog - The Future Will Be Kludged 
There is still time for GenX to fix the problems being caused by the Hippy Boomers 😉
A large majority of my GENX friends (smart college educated people BTW) repeat back the extreme Dem talking points: Romney is an evil profiteer, with a weird religion, who hates the poor, wants to end all abortion and control all of the ladyparts, will lock up the gays, will try to re-institute slavery,the opposition to Obama is based on Racism, etc.
Post-election, I have found that several of my Repub/Conservative leaning friends didn’t even bother to vote.
The demonization of Romney and the Republicans worked.

The article is mostly bullshit.
Bush was clearly wrong on his response to the financial crisis. The Dem controlled congress was all for it and for the policies that partially caused it.
Lest you think I am a hypocrite regarding the stimulus…

So the Slate article redefines ‘Conservative denial’ 😉
Hurray we won! Sucks doesn’t it? Too bad romney couldnt manage any IT stuff, he would totally suck at cyberwar. Funny how all the best hacker lean liberal.
i think it has something to do with having a open mind.
CyberWar is alot different then just Managing IT. I have a couple of years of post on CyberWar in my head that I should get around to actually making.
I would also point out that the skill set that leads to a successful campaign doesn’t lead to a successful presidency (reference Obama First campaign vs his terrible first term).
Perhaps, I should take some comfort that as a poor executive, Obama hopeful won’t screw up the US too much in the next four years. I don’t though.
Purpleslog,
Did you see the following blog that seemed to echo your sentiments on the GenXers to which you referred ?

I hadn’t. Thanks for the link.
