OK he is FUNNY! Never heard him before. I am about 5 years too late and not funny. He wins.
Yup.
It’s a challenge. It’s an enterprise that fares the best with people who have a deep consciousness and appreciation of God above.
Oh please no, Lord, however, to egotistical parents (well, short of abortion — there are worse evils than such parents). The kids will learn well in spite of every effort to lecture in a better set of morals.
“Some people are stoic enough to have children; the rest of us aren’t.”
You might be amazed at how your heart and mind would change, if you ever do have a child.
I have six, and highly recommend it.
Unfortunately, or perhaps not, only real-life experience can either validate or objectively disprove your opinion re your tolerance for children being what they are, candidates for civilizing.
I have a passel of ‘em myself, and neither recommend nor discourage the practice. However, you must go through it in order to get to the real reward - the grandbabies!
With three grade school grandchildren, I ponder this question. I think it's complex. They get along well with their cohorts, AFAICT, but they do certainly chafe under authority of any kind. Attempts at discipline are met with a "here's your discipline back at ya" attitude.
Of course, I'm speaking of children who are very much socialized, and largely compliant, however noisy they may be about it.
I have to think that a strong ego is a good sign for the conservative cause, although there are many ways this could go wrong. We shall see ... as long as we can hang on!
I’m a firm believer that none of the best things in life come cheap or easily. Kids and grandkids most definitely fall in that category.
>> a generation who thinks that the best way to handle your differences is to scream
Fortunately, the span of Snowflakes doesn’t yet extend to an entire generation.
The Leftwing mind predators primarily in academia must lose their depraved influence.
I have six, and highly recommend it.
God bless you.
“God bless you.”
He most definitely has :-)
And for me a family is out of the question financially. Permanently. I’ve mostly made peace with it but I wish there was a nearby city I could move to with no kids or young families so I didn’t constantly get reminded of what I’m missing.
Great video. Thanks for posting. College collectivists manufacturing marxists into debt slaves and varying degrees of depravity.

While I’m greatly enjoying the meltdown of the little snowflakes, I wonder how the normal students are faring. I would suspect that many students get up, go to class, sort through the nonsense and try to get it over with a quickly as possible.
There are sadly few institutions that are not cesspools of PC nonsense. Hillsdale, Grove City etc. come to mind.
My kid attends a small engineering school that seems to be like that. It’s not a Christian based college in the least, but their focus is purely academic. No sports, outside of an intramural Frisbee team. No dorms, No politics and very little stupidity. There is literally only one fluff class and it’s not that fluffy.
The students are there to get their education and gain a career.
My son is a Junior engineering student. He started what I thought was an internship yesterday in his field. It’s actually a career level job. He’s well compensated, 401K, health care, educational assistance, the works.
He and most of his friends are for the most part conservative normal kids. They realize that at some point in their careers, they will all have security clearances and they act accordingly to not jeopardize their careers.
I hope outfits like MRCTV would take some time to focus on the normal kids at school, not the snowflakes.
BTW, the rest of my kids are all working full time, or both working and going to school. It’s amazing what happens when you raise them right.
Well I didn’t mean to suggest that you, or everyone else eschewing parenthood is a self-centered snowflake. I apologize for my poor word choice. An honest assessment before the fact is the most responsible thing to do. And it generally follows that people who do make that honest assessment are considering what’s best for the children as well as themselves, so it’s not selfish at all.
Additionally, there’s nothing selfish or irresponsible about making independent financial plans, sans children, for one’s own care in the senior years.
What I meant is that a lot of these demanding “snowflake” personality types-—all about meeee, I want everything right now, I don’t wanna feeeeel any discomfort-—are the center of their oywn little universe and presume it’s the responsibility of everyone else—or the government— to take care of them. Being willing to make wise choices, much less sacrifices now with a view to the future, seems to be outside the snowflake repertoire, at least from what I’ve read about them.
If these folks fail to plan for their childless old age, they may wake up one day and realize they’re old and poor and alone, and the world may not be as sympathetic to their needs.
I haven’t quite mastered the FReeper skill of saying whatever in a sentence or two. Sorry for the verbosity.
Agreed,these snowflakes are what they were educated to be,IMHO.
