He’s been saying that for years.
Is he drunk again?
Betrayed by a fraudulent educational system and misled by bitter communist holdovers the younger folks may well go down in history as the Dole Generation and I ain’t talking about Bob, Liddy or pineapple.
Did he fake cry again?
It was a great rant! I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been saying for years that I knew we were in trouble when I watched American Idol. Some of those talentless kids actually think they should get a shot at the show. Entitlement to tne nth degree.
Oh please. Maybe some blame goes to the “Greatest Generation” who voted in the likes of LBJ ect, or those a generation earlier happily accepted and demanded social security payments well in excess of any contribution they made.
I saw it this afternoon and WOW...well it’s just common sense, isn’t it?
I’ve been saying the same type of thing for a couple years and have even seen commentors here at FR saying that the older generation is going to steal “their” Social Security, as if the baby boomers are just a bunch of lazy theives who deserve nothing less than to die and die soon.
My mother actually called me up from out of state and told me about this today.
Glenn Beck, for all the piling on, is striking a strong chord in America.
“Glenn Beck Blasts America’s Youth As The “Me” Generation. WOW...”
Amen Brother Beck.
I went to a grade-school soccer event in the past week.
One of my relatives couched the winning team.
And I heard him admit that he had his team lay back in the closing
minutes so “they could score a goal or two”, as his team was ahead
by (IIRC) 5-0 in the closing minutes. Thus the team let the lagging
team get in a few easy goals.
It was a kindly geture to a team with less-than-good players.
The lesson left for my relative’s team may be one of mercy/kindness
in dealing with a “loyal opponent” in a sporting match.
But I did ask myself:
“What does this say to the winning team if/when a REAL opponent
bent on oppossing, nay, destroying the USA...will they go in full-bore
in order to win an unconditional surrender?”
Sure this is just a question from a foolish observer.
But I wonder if it will have an effect decades hence when a generation
will be called on to perform feats that equal or exceed those of
“The Greatest Generaion”.
Which, IMHO, includes the “point of the spear” guys/gals that are
at this hour, fending lonely outposts in Afghanistan while the
Commander-In-Chief takes day, after day, after endless days, to send
them support in the form of more “brothers/sisters in arms”.
The “me generation” was a long time ago. Now, most of them are retired. They didn’t do much real work in their whole lives (teachers, lawyers, managers and other recipients of big government). They’re Democrats and Republicans. They’re activists for outlawing new business starts or any other kinds of work on their neighbors’ properties. They’re NIMBYs and HOA nags with investments in foreign anti-American interests. They are environmentalists and animal worshipers. Many of them are demented from too much past drug abuse, sedentary tendencies and other unhealthy ways.
They are my fellow Baby Boomers, and they are still the me generation.
Glenn is right on. I really don't like the vast majority of people in my generation because of their ego-driven stupidity and flippant narcissism.
Sometimes makes me wish that I was born into the Greatest Generation.
