I don’t know, “dead brined” is pretty accurate IMO. Many millenials’ brains have been pickled into insensibility by the common culture & are now preserved in a brine of Skinny Girl pre-mixed.

Miley Cyrus should have been run out of town on a rail by now (though she’d probably enjoy it); instead this pop tart is celebrated for her “artistic independence” or some such.

Oh well, back to reading how we baby boomers have stolen & squandered the rightful inheritance of succeeding generations.

Or not succeeding. Thunderbird wine is said to be flying off the shelves.

;^)

I think they got the last of their mileage out of the “small, less intrusive government” bulls**t in the 1990’s. I was still buying it in 1994, when after running on that platform they promtly showed how much they meant it by nationalizing child support enforcement. They got more and enamored with big government once they were in charge.

Mugged by reality, when is that going to happen?

In Obama’s economy they will remain at Momma’s house, until they are eligible for medicare.

They'll only be mugged when Uncle Sugar cannot keep the EBT cards filled. Then we will all be mugged.

That is bound to happen. Which is why I used comparative terms to a mugging, i.e. gentler forms that may be confused with a bona fide mugging. Uncle Sugar’s coffers are stretched thin; he’s been begging Chairman Táng for replacement allotments on credit for way too long.

I actually didn’t express myself properly. I should have said that age is a factor as well, given the fact that white youths vote far differently than their elders.

Well, we disagree on the theology. It’s ridiculous to say that you can judge the behavior of believers but not non-believers.

You both sound like modernists.

Agreed. They’ve basically been taught the ultimate virtue is to be indiscriminate and undiscerning. Which is ridiculous since in reality no one(liberal or conservative or inbetween, young or old) can get through the day without being able to discern and use his discrimination abilities.

Sounds like to their credit, your nephew and his wife realize that to be truly Christian one must agree with Jesus’ teachings on marriage in Matthew 19:4-6 and support protecting life and the natural family. It’s sad that they have rejected Christianity but I get far more annoyed with folks who say the pro-abortion/homosexualist/promiscuity positions are “compatible” with Christianity or that Jesus Himself advocated such beliefs when there’s no Scripture to support such a contention.
