Come on, the answer is simple.

The left understands to get them while they are children.

They started in the schools, it is called INDOCTRINATION!

Exactly.

They kids know more about a reality show and default to the propaganda they have been brainwashed in the government school.

"and thus have no capacity to think"

I used to think half of the American public were were halfway sane and at least had the capacity for rational thought.

But not after November, 2012!

Which uncle are you going to love when you’re a young and dumb kid? The uncle that works hard and takes care of his family or the pedophile uncle that brings you candy and takes you to the park and plays with you when daddy and mommy are gone?.../s

Because the Homosexuals worked hard to get their curriculum into our schools and parents stood by and did nothing and did not care, UNTIL: Jimmy came home and told his parents

” I think I am gay!!”

Because of the education brainwashing they received in the government schools:

1 - It is bad to be judgemental

2 - To make decisions on feelings instead of facts

3 - What really counts is trying, not results (everyone gets a trophy)

4 - They believe critisim of Obama is mostly based on racism so they don't listen

Certainly that is a major part of the problem.

Another part is that these kids are raised by day care and others insteda of parents. Both parents working, and they try to make up for it by looking the other way and spoiling these kids into thinking everything in this country is free.

Teachers are brain washing them and later in college they have professional Communists and Socialists pushing Marxism to them. By the time they are 30 they begin to come around if they are smart. Some never are.

Think so?

These parents raised the kids with conservative values,a solid work ethic, belief in God, discussions of economic responsibility (including techniques), pretty much anything you would want.

The daughter turned out conservative, and is happy as can be to have just moved to a red state.

The son, who spent nine years as an Infantryman including two tours in Iraq, is a solid Obama voter.

I wish it was as cut and dried as you think.

Unpaid internships are all that’s available for the majority of college grads.

The young voters who voted for Obama can’t think for themselves. They are mentally dependent on professors, talk show hosts, MTV, and their drug dealers for guidance.

When they realize that Obama’s runaway spending will have to be paid by THEM, at some point they will wise up and realize how stupid they have been to have spent $100-200k for college education but not enough income to get a good paying job if they can find one. The Old Folks will be long dead by that time, but the baby boomers will be in their prime as long as Social Secuirty and Medicare remain solvent.

I have no ideas on how this situation will ever improve. Socialism exists only as long as there is money to be taxed or borrowed. When cash runs out, economies collapse and choas reigns.

........”When children become moronic, or amoral, or criminal adults, the ultimate responsibility rests with them, and with the parents”........

Not necessarily so....you can teach a child morals, how to make good decisions, and what consequences are ......but you cannot make them choose these.

We all know parents who raised kids the right way to no avail.....when they make their decisions...it is their choices and theirs alone.

In my community one kids dad was abusive in every way....horrible treatment...today He's a Physician with a family of his own and respected in the community...........on the other hand, another kid who was taught all the right things, no abuse of any kind, chose to experiment with the dark side of life...ended up basically in the gutter holes of life...and then he died.

Because the new generation is obsessed with gayness.

I have to agree with you. That, and they need their birth control paid for by someone else. They are a very sexually minded generation. Focused on themselves and not so much on the grand consequences of their actions or society's as a whole. The id is thriving in these guys while the superego is being starved to death. Society suffers as a result.

The Bible speaks of an “End Times Deception” that will sweep the world... think of this as group conditioning for that fateful day, when non will question, but mindlessly slip along the slide zone... “There are none so blind as those who will not see...” the deception is already deep and wide...

Although this group of youth is bad. They are nothing as bad as the youth of the 60’s who completely destroyed the country.
