There's Something Happening Here...
The Lonely Conservative ^ | 8/7/10 | The Lonely Conservative

Posted on 08/07/2010 9:07:52 PM PDT by NY Hockey Mom

What it is ain’t exactly clear….

That’s the impression I get when I talk to people of the 20 something generation. They know something’s not right. They know they are getting screwed, they just aren’t sure how or why.

Blame the media for that. Blame our education system for that. Heck, we can even blame ourselves for that.

But it’s all changing now. ....

Yes, really. Last time I checked we lived in the land of the free. Free to be perfect parents, free to make mistakes. Today, what are we free to do? I guess it depends. That’s not the way it should be.

I feel sorry for the twenty somethings, saddled with more debt than any society in the history of the world. Conservatives began to get real concerned with it in the eighties but each succeeding administration told us there was no need to pay off the national debt, that we would impede economic recovery if the government cut back on spending.

They know they are getting screwed, they just aren’t sure how or why.

When they spend a few years learning how hard it is to pay back their college loans, many of them will figure out the "how and why" as well as the "by whom."

In my last post I was trying to keep a facetious tone, hoping that some good humor would be the order of the day.

Then I clicked on your blog (or your "friend's blog, if you must) to see what great pearls on wisdom might lie in the essay thereon. I have found from time to time, some really good stuff on blogs, and with the right persuasion, the bloggers have been encouraged to share their good stuff with the readers on FreeRepublic.

But ~this~ is the entire remainder of the "essay" -

" Call it the “new media.”

We aren’t going anywhere!"

Seriously?

You actually pimped for hits to read those two lines of drivel?

Two vernacular sentence fragments, with the extra reward of 7 cookies deposited on the reader's computer? (Yes, I can see the cookies and trackers on every site I visit.)

Get back to us when your "friend" actually writes something.

Keep on buying ammo is all I can say.

It actually wasn’t earlier or before.

They are all now, but God gave you the perception of time to keep you from having to cope with it all happening at once.

Ignorance is death.

And we have at least 2 generations of voting meatheads.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

I think I read the line in the New York Times or on of those other Effete organizations but can’t recall.

Still, one wonders if you have writers ring that you all subscribe to.

There are what 5,6 or more of you who have the same lines on your blogs.

You are not intellectual geniuses you are intellectual dark holes in which nothing ever escapes of any essence much less a self possessed though of the average sentient being.

Please, as one human to another. I implore you to never give up your day time job and always take orders from a boss which need to probably count cadence, so you won’t forget to breathe.

Being so blatantly stupid isn’t a crime until you take an ad out to tell everyone and in bold letter inform everyone your smarts are lower than a ditch diggers boots.

Please take a hike Posuers.

I thought of something hilarious to say if one responded and dangit, if I should have written it down.

Oh well, they can’t write, so I probably shouldn’t hold my breath.

It's younger than that where i live here in ohio these kids and i mean kids have a clear understanding that there may not be anything left by the time they are old enough to work and most are keen to people they see work everyday NOT working for months at a time ... These kids are damn smart about alot more than what i would have thought they were ...

See my post # 41.

I’m from Ohio (Utah now) but my son is still there. He knows EXACTLY what is going on, and he’s “working” on his contemporaries.

Go Buckeyes!

My lovely daughter is one of those 20 somethings. She’s generally apolitical. During the ‘08 pres campaign I told her about how 0bama called Bill Ayers just “another guy in the neighborhood”. I told her about the Weather Underground and the Brinks holdup that happened at the Nanuet Mall back in 1981, before she was even thought of. That place used to be a hangout for my wife and I and our freinds, as well as her grandmother’s favorite shopping venue. Fortunately none of us were there at the time time of the shootings. That was all my daughter needed to know about what a lying POS 0dumbass really is.

I worked for a company that did installation and repair of Gasoline Service stations during that manufactured gasoline shortage. Gas wasn’t available to the stations. We finished a station and 24,000 gallons was delivered within 2 hours.
