College campus protests: This is the generation that will destroy America
Fox News ^ | 11/24/15 | Todd Starnes

What in the name of John Blutarsky is happening on our university campuses?

A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals that a shocking number of Millennials support curbing free speech.

According to their findings, 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 believe the government should be able to ban any speech that is offensive to minority groups.

We have apparently raised a generation of snowflakes so fragile that their psyches can’t handle offensive words or photographs or images.

It seems the only free speech this perpetually offended generation supports is speech they agree with.

“Neidermayer? He’s a dead man. Marmalard? DEAD!!”

Where have you gone, John Blutarski? The nation needs you now more than ever.

The te4achers ruined the kids thinking plus parents who don’t take the time to see what is going on in the schools and teachers encourage parents from getting involved in their child’ education. American history is taught, starting with Woodrow Wilson rather than the Magna Charta. America is considered to be a selfish country.

Two words to describe them: Haughty and incompetent.

Hubby is besieged by them at work. Had to lead “teams” of them and they are driving him insane. They’re grossly incompetent, with hugely overinflated egos and delusions of entitlement.

Absolutely useless.

Sorry, that was more than two words.

If anyone is ever stupid enough to place them in positions of real power, the purges will begin soon after.

Don’t know for sure.

Apparently it’s a reference to their fragility, and the fact that they’re dangerous in large numbers.

Oh ... and they can’t take any heat.

I don’t see it that way. Liberal socialists always find common ground by election day.

The American people have already done that, continue to do so, and will surely do so in the future as well.

Magna Charta?

I believe it is the Magna Carta (no h).

Any white person who donates to a college should stop immediately. Might reinforce some spines in the admin.

They’ll try... but then external threats will pounce, and the draft will be reinstated. Problem solved.

One might make the assessment that various commercialized universities have a brand-name which has some value...mostly due to the NCAA football or basketball status...but it has value in terms of people wanting that product.

When something comes into the marketplace to disrupt the name-brand....like parents seeing Junior thinking about attending X college and there’s riots or disruptions there, and the product cost $90,000 over four years...what exactly do you think the parents will do? Or if the kid is borrowing all the money to attend? Your confidence will erode, and you will walk away to find a lesser troubled brand-name.

So, take the next step....you have the brand-name that is troubled...with a large bulky and high-cost staff...and your income is cut by 10-to-20 percent in one year. Can you dump staff quickly? Can you re-brand your image and gain back the losses? Can you lay off staff members without them striking or using more protests to get you deeper into the pit? All of this...while a governor sits and watches this from a distance....knowing that a bankrupt public state university...is a very bad image for the state.

Their parents and teachers have pounded them with how special and unique they are ... like snowflakes.

So even though they are useless and incompetent, they are convinced that they are the One.

America has been in trouble since Fabian socialists and Frankfurt School asswipes took over the media and academia and govt bureaucracy many decades ago long before this crap

It’s just gotten much much worse

Most 60s hippies vote GOP now and have more often than not

Few 60s kids were actually hippies....review McGovern versus Nixon and compare to Obamas white youth vote in 2008

What’s made America so much more left is two very simple facts:

Minorities ....blacks....latinos...Asians....homosexuals...Jews....Muslims....Hindus...all vote vast majority left wing

Today we have more minority population than ever in our history

Whites vote GOP more than ever but it’s simply not enough to offset the minorities voting bloc

It’s as simple as that

If we don’t get a big white Christian turnout again....we lose again

Study up on it before you refute me.....that was rhetorical btw

Re: “40 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 believe the government should be able to ban any speech that is offensive to minority groups.”

Why is that surprising?

About 45% of Americans in that age group ARE minorities!

Wake up, Conservatives!

I’ll bet that half of you - or more - still support massive LEGAL immigration.

And this is the inevitable result of your political fantasy world...

Total destruction of Conservative political power!
