A Harsh Rebuke of Boomer Politics
Columnist Samm Coombs tells Boomers “it’s time to hand over the gavel and leave the podium.” His assessment of this generation’s legacy is neither sentimental nor harsh, praising their many social and cultural highs but also reserving some stern words for their scorched-earth brand of politics.
Mixing praise with blame, this is the sort of gentle admonition you'd expect from the Silent Generation. If you want something blunter--written by someone who takes a swinging 2x4 to the Boomers--look to Gen Xers. Bruce Gibney's "Generation of Sociopaths: How the Baby Boomers Betrayed America" may be more to your liking.
