The sad reality of the future

[Cthulhu]

This all sounds vaguely familiar...

"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains." (Sir Winston Churchill, 1874-1965)

For what is worth, I'm not an 80's kid.

Bleh... 99.63 percent of the country uses arbitrary, official-sounding percentages to describe the remaining 0.37% of the populace, 100% of the time. I guarantee that 92.46% of the people on here agree with me. If they don't agree with me, they must be idiots who haven't "awoken" like I have, or even worse - not really conservatives. *shudder*

Sigh.

P.S. Wasn't this the guy that was damning people for wanting to hunt gorillas a few days ago? I'm sure the Jane Goodall crowd are crackerjack conservatives, one and all.

Okay a clarification. When I talk about the rift starting 1980 I am referring to high school graduates. Kids born since 1980 do not represent a large enough % of the voting age population to have effected the voting as it has been.
Obviously as predicted the indignant responses were the stuff of the sun rising in the east. I see that some don't know there is a difference between 90 and 100% or that if 1% are different that means only 99% are the same. I never said the victims of indoctrination indoctrinated themselves. My only concern is the results and consequences that stem from that indoctrination.

There was a mention that people born after 1980 have served in recent overseas conflicts. The number involved hardly equates to an entire generation. The last time a huge percentage of a generation served this country militarily was Vietnam. The vast majority of that generation born after 1980 would no more step up to serve in the military than they would help an old lady across the street, but they would assign an elk or a dog human rights.

For those who feel we are headed down the wrong road, I am simply saying that the reality is there are no bilge pumps big enough or fast enough to empty this hull of the black wave of ignorance that is sweeping over the nation. The future for those that care is going to be purely about survival. Those that disagree with me on this can not offer a single example in recorded human history that proves different.

So, for clarification, you're saying not every single person born after 1980 is liberal, but a vast and sweeping majority is? If so, I can partially agree with that. I can only provide examples from personal experience, and sadly a large portion of my HS graduating class (2003) are aligned to the left of center... It is shameful that so many in my generation would rather reap the rewards of others' hard work instead of taking some personal fucking pride and earning their own way in life.

I must have a lot of brains and no heart at all.

Had this forum been operational in the late 60's and early 70's, I am sure we would have heard the same complaints about "youth these days". It appears that every generation believes following generations are letting things go to hell-in-a-hand basket. Imagine the horror of the "Greatest Generation", as their kids embraced 1960's "flower power" and "free love". The country is still alive 40 years later. I graduated from Boulder High in the mid-90's, and there were A LOT of socially conservative kids in the school.

Nobody likes me because I call them all idiots.

I can't imagine why the entirety of the world population doesn't fit into your cookie cutter view of life.

Ha! Don't worry, I've been conservative since I knew how to read...on second thought, you might want to . God forbid you turn out like me

[Ghosty]

a very funny movie

Almost more depressing than funny though. The welfare trash is breeding like rabbits, while smart people are not reproducing enough, hahaaa.

You want to fix America economically? You want the majority of American people to wake up?

It's quite simple.

Elect a FISCAL conservative and tell them to keep their damn social values out of politics. People are sick and tired of politicians trying to legislate morality.

The younger generation wants all people to have equal rights. The younger generation does not want the government telling us what we can do with our bodies or who we can choose to have as our partners. What we want is for the fucking government to get out of our lives and do what the government was intended to do. Balance the budget, protect the homeland and leave us the fuck alone.

I'm a TRUE conservative. A true conservative does not believe the government has the right to legislate morality, just like the government doesn't have the right to take money from me to pay for some crackhead and her 50 children.

Someone has to teach those 50 kids not to become generational poor. They certainly won't get it from their parents and their environment. The question is how?
