The teabaggers are predominantly baby-boomers who grew up in and around the 50's, in the echo of one of America's greatest victories (WWII) and the era of its greatest rise in power. America was the world's savior and protector, and was mankind's first and sole global superpower. We broke the sound barrier, were heading into space, were developing the computer, and had cars, James Dean and rock-n-roll! It was a glorious time for this country, and a great time to be an American, especially if you were white and middle-to-upper class (i.e. a future teabagger).
