Reply #140: It's true that the generation thing may be somewhat tenuous.

However, if you read my OP and my many responses on this thread, you'll note that I'm not making a broad generalization - I certainly would never say that any theory applies to "all" of any generation.

Moreover, you seem to have ignored much of my OP, specifically that part where I talk about the two paths that our generation tended to take, one of which was to become rather radical in our views. I am socialist with very left-wing social views.

All I'm saying is that Obama's views on many social issues are conservative, and that is reinforced by everything he himself has said except a few of his broader campaign promises.
