The New Far Right

E.J. Dionne has a story on the re-emergence of the far right in today's Washington Post.  Aside from being a decent follow-up on the thread i've been calling "Inciting to Riot", he covers the recent history of right wing culture war politics, including its impact on McCain's own 2000 presidential campaign.  But it's the following quote that caught my eye:
Precisely because Obama is not a baby boomer, he carries none of that generation's scars. Most Americans (including most boomers) are weary of living in the past and reprising the 1960s every four years.
Indeed.  Onward and upward Post-Boomers!
