The sad reality of the future

At least the video clip was fun.

I think it is more a problem with the hippies and counterculture having kids and now controlling this country. My 12 year old son follows a more traditional set of values and embraces personal responsibility, but I was raised by a WWII vet and I hold his values.

I grew up in the 80's. I have views that would be considered liberal, but my views exist because of the concept of free will. I would trade in my desk chair and my keyboard in a heartbeat if I could make the same cash for the same hours doing landscaping or farming, but that opportunity isn't there. The PC movement hurt this country in ways that I suspect still haven't been fully revealed.

The difference between the stereotypical Conservative and Liberal is non-existent. They both want your money; they both want to tell you how to live; they both want you to accept their definition of morality; and they are both wrong for trying to dictate how anyone should live in the first place. The only difference, their approach.

Kids born in the 1980's and 1990's have been fighting two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not all of them, but enough that I would not be willing to point a finger at a whole generation.

It's their music. It's their clothes. It's their politics. It's their morals. Are we the old people now, just blaming everything on the children and grandchildren WE raised?

I think the brush we paint with should not be so broad. Just my opinion.

Be safe.

I'm not even sure what I just read.

Enough to confirm what I've thought about the rest of his posts in general!

I can agree with that for the most part.

The difference between the stereotypical Conservative and Liberal is non-existent.

I STRONGLY dis-agree here. I am a stereotypical Conservative and there is a broad distance between myself and "Liberal". I dont want your money and I dont want new taxes and I want to end all entitlements. Now I do believe that some of our Conservative POLITICIANS bend a little too easily and pander far too much to the "moderates" in our country, which ultimately means they lean Left, with a twist. The way we fix this is to vote in stronger Conservatives and make it clear that pandering to moderates in this country is just not acceptable.

When you approach it this way , 2 Bush II and now the second term for O has us at 12 yrs of war. Given voting age kids were between 6 & say 20 you have a decade and 1/2 of war era voting age kids. As i remember myself and others during the 60's & 70's a different approach is sought and folks tend to drift away from some of their beliefs.
Now if you ever have a conversation with our 29 yr old daughter that " liberal" mentality is no where to be found. I like it when she calls an says "There's some fukin hippies protesting, Think l'll go talk to them"
So no, Liberalism has not over taken todays society. The MSM and very well played Leftist use of social media, would have you believe it true.
