Obama and the lost generation
Tea Party Nation ^ | 12/7/12 | Judson Phillips

Posted on 12/07/2012 12:07:55 PM PST by Thad Lost

We have a lost generation of Americans. We who make up the baby boom generation still talk about the American dream.

For the lost generation, the American dream is now dead.

Who are the lost generation and why is the American dream nothing but a myth to them?

The lost generation is the group we call “Millennials.” They are the people under 30.

Why is their generation lost?

They don’t talk about the American Dream because of all of the liberals in the boomer generation who stole it from them.

Boomers are a pox on America’s house.

Can’t figure out which Obama reminds me more of, Peterless Pan, or Malice in Blunderland.

I’m at the tail end of the boomer generation, and I’ll take CSN, but I like CSN&Y better. :)

"Why is their generation lost?"

Because their economic future has been exported to other countries and now they can't get a job to pay for their education, start a family and make enough money to vote Republican like their parents.

UMMM I HATE to tell you that MOST of the BS(Social Security, Medicare, the Welfare “Industry” and the like) did NOT originate w/ the “Boomer” Generation. They originated with the “Greatest” Generation(WW2) and the Generation before them(WW1). Booomer are just going to be the GREATEST Leeches on the systems as there is SO MANY of them and hitting the Retirment years at once.

Oh, really? This boomer served his country in time of war and many of my fellow boomer Marines names are on The Wall. I went to college on the GI Bill, graduated, got a job, paid my taxes, got married and raised a family of Christian conservatives, obeyed the law and was a good neighbor. Yes, you are right. I was certainly a pox on America's house.

I said:

"They don’t talk about the American Dream because of all of the liberals in the boomer generation who stole it from them."

So what's your beef with what I said? You don't think there are liberals in the boomer generation? All those hippies weren't boomers? Or, you consider yourself a liberal and take exception to the damage caused? Or you just wanted to be sure we all knew that you're a boomer and did good things?

Give me Buffalo Springfield with Stills & Young, and then Young alone, or with
Crazy Horse.

Crosby & Nash can sing, but they aren’t as creative as the other two...

In that regard Neil is the King....

We have 3 children under 30 (Barely for one.) They all work and are on their own. The eldest has a house already.

They are not blind to what is happening in our country and they didn’t vote for the Marxist.

“What a rude thing to say.”

I think it’s rude to flame someone for no reason. And I reply in kind. I think your comment is thoughtless.

You also said this:

Boomers are a pox on America’s house.

Which makes your reply to our patriot FRiend a complete misrepresentation.
