It was a beautiful segment, and oh-so-true. My kids bring home awards for showing up at school and want to be rewarded with dinner or whatever. I told my daughter the other day that if she could manage to get good grades for the semester then we'd talk.

Betrayed by a fraudulent educational system and misled by bitter communist holdovers the younger folks may well go down in history as the Dole Generation and I ain’t talking about Bob, Liddy or pineapple.

It was a great rant! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been saying for years that I knew we were in trouble when I watched American Idol. Some of those talentless kids actually think they should get a shot at the show. Entitlement to tne nth degree.

Oh please. Maybe some blame goes to the “Greatest Generation” who voted in the likes of LBJ ect, or those a generation earlier happily accepted and demanded social security payments well in excess of any contribution they made.

Or perhaps we’ve found a few with their heads in the sand.

It’s OK. Here’s a sticker just for you. /s

Why is it ridiculous to ask if he fake cried? He’s done it plenty in the past.

Plus, as he says: “if you take what I say as gospel, you’re an idiot.”

I saw it this afternoon and WOW...well it’s just common sense, isn’t it?

I’ve been saying the same type of thing for a couple years and have even seen commentors here at FR saying that the older generation is going to steal “their” Social Security, as if the baby boomers are just a bunch of lazy theives who deserve nothing less than to die and die soon.

My mother actually called me up from out of state and told me about this today.

Glenn Beck, for all the piling on, is striking a strong chord in America.

Because you wouldn’t need to ask that if you’d taken the time to watch the video being discussed.

“Betrayed by a fraudulent educational system and misled by bitter communist holdovers the younger folks may well go down in history as the Dole Generation and I ain’t talking about Bob, Liddy or pineapple.”

And it’s our fault for letting it happen.

Of course, that’s why I wanted a quick answer to see whether or not it was worth the investment.
