....Unless President Trump declares ANTIFA to be a domestic terrorism group, then the game changes.

If it was me, I can show those kids that I am “the grumpy old lady with the smartphone” to the young person, and the young person would not know squat.

“It actually comes as a relief in your mid-20’s when you find some ability to focus on other things.”

What?? In my mid 20’s I had a nice car and more cash and realized a much wider and more available selection of racks, butts and legs to pursue.

It’s most likely a typo. Notice the W is next to the E

‘Cuz the Free Market, outside of a few areas one can rap off w/ one hand, the Free Market DOESN’T exist. It’s been mangled by the illegal hand of govt in pretty much EVERY aspect possible.

Hell, some on FR L-O-V-E ‘em some govt meddling Socialism+...just visit any SS/MediXYZ thread. Otherwise, the (R)N(C) loves to *NOT* rock the boat (”We can’t\Until we ever go back, so we could ‘fix’ XYZ by...”) and dabble around the edges (REF: (R) & O’Care: “We can run it BETTER”)

When you have “game developer” as one of the most desired jobs that these young-guns want, you KNOW we have major problems.

For some. it is either black or white with no reality in between

You whine about the black unwilling to admit the very light gray

There will never be total free markets on a world wide basis but the President is intent and working hard to improve our ability to sell our exports in a world strewn with stubling blocks and fences.

In America we enjoy great freedom to enjoy our businesses inspite of whiners in the peanut gallery that lack what it takes to go into business.

Point out that socialism and communism steal what you have and kill you if you protest.

This is stupid.

Young people don’t know anything.

I went to my daughter’s HS gradution and heard a speech about how my generation has left such a big mess and that it is her generations duty to ‘fix’ it but, they have to fix it without hurting anyones feelings.

I thought I would puke.

Upside?
Grads who stood up because they were going into the service recieved the larget applause of the night.

Of course they are they are the generation who came up with Common Core in schools they were intentionally “educated” to be unable to perform simple logic and critical thinking... they were intentionally raised to be useful idiots when the marxists make their move.

Yes, it’s either Const. authorized\legal, or illegal. Pointing out the facts != whining or diminish the truth.

I wasn’t talking ‘world wide’, but fine. He’s pulling his typical ploy: talk tough, then back off. Works in some instances (China tariffs...but not the “X-Mas” hiatus), not in others (illegal aliens).

“Stumbling blocks” are one thing, violations of trade agreements are quite another (currency manipulation, dumping, fraud via shipping from other countries).

“Enjoy”? The full iron fist of Fedzilla’s tax/rules/regulations...you enjoy biz. w/ the freedoms BIG GOVT still *allows* you to have. But, your right, no way would I start up a biz, legally, so they could crush me via their millstone while feigning ‘joy’. More power to ya.

I think the spelling is correct because it make it look like the schools are from the Soviet Union.

Yeah, well first off, I wish more people enjoyed history. I asked my daughters and they find it boring, but love math.

Secondly, I understand not talking politics. I don’t talk politics at work. I like my job. My family need me to pay the bills. Period. On the left, you are pretty safe to express your opinion. On the right, not so much. Opinions about LGBT I also keep to myself.

YAF spokesperson Spencer Brown told Townhall that this poll highlights why his organization is so necessary for high school and college campuses.

That's not really correct. These subjects should be discussed / taught in elementary schools. Civics should start around fourth or fifth grade...
