Proverbs 30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother. 12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. 14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. 15 The horseleach hath two daughters, crying, Give, give . There are three things that are never satisfied, yea, four things say not, It is enough: 16 The grave; and the barren womb; the earth that is not filled with water; and the fire that saith not, It is enough.
Moronials.
Two words: Free stuff
Can’t get this to open on my phone. Is “Euro-Envy” on the list? I see that a lot, kids being enamoured, in an almost slavish and knee jerk manner, with the “hipness” of all things European. To include the Euro style Socialism that Bernie Sanders personifies.
No you need more words than that
Free stuff, paid with printed money and debt.
So what’s gone wrong with this generation?
Government schools.
They aren’t very good at education, but they excel at indoctrination.
“Moronials”
I LOVE IT! Lets make that term go viral like Feminazi.
Hey Rush (or his lurkers here — we know you are here), want to give it a shot?
LAZY. Period.
Maybe if the Ruling Elites hadn’t sent our Manufacturing overseas, or Flooded our country with Slave Wagers to compete with the remaining jobs, young people might have a different opinion of Capitalism.
An ideal situation would be for the Democrats to nominate Sanders and then lose in a landslide, to put an end to this flirtation with socialism by proving that its supporters are a small minority (albeit very vocal).
Well I was 20 when I was discharged after WW II. When I could vote at 21 I voted Republican and so did the other guys. It depends on what kind of country we leave the Millennials. A good country with lots of jobs and the youth will vote Republican. If we leave them crap jobs, they vote for government. Give everyone a good job now and they will vote Republican. Nevermind the crap of ‘all they want is free stuff’. They want a job that pays enough for them to buy the ‘stuff’ they want.
That is excellent!!!
I will be using that in the future.

The heading for #2, and the sentences that follow, seem to contradict one another.
If the word, “don’t” is removed from the heading, it would be more consistent with the explication which follows.
Unless I’m missing something...
Of course the previous generations did little to promote capitalism and self sufficiency. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits, Food Stamps, and Housing Assistance among other programs. Is the millennial generation just wanting more of what they grew up with?
Here is the thing. If they want abortion, why don’t they set up their own non profit abortion business without violating separation of church and state with state subsidies for advertisement of the practice? Why all the government gets to choose that all the money should go to Planned Parenthood by a white racist Sanger and not some other outfit set up by a black one or anybody else’s flavor for that matter?
Don’t millenials realize that school could be a tax deduction that way? That the money that should pay for their school instead goes to government and specific Clintonesque big lobbies like Planned aparenthood? And Sanders is the exact same, just a bit later in the game.
Saved me from having to point it out.
10 previous generations always had improving standards of living - even the people who got toughed out the Depression.
What is the future for the Millennials? A Tiny Space with a McJob? The so-called "tech jobs" are overwhelmingly occupied by foreign nationals who don't just work cheaper, they get Affirmative Action and discriminate ruthlessly against ethnic Americans (whites AND black).
As someone else pointed out, if you're 25 now the Obama economy has absolutely sucked for all of your adult life.
This is difficult for someone to accept if they've been raised thinking they're the best and the brightest. Obviously, the fault must lie with someone else, or a crooked system, etc.
“The youth have always leaned left...if you’re a conservative at 20 you have no heart, but if you’re a liberal at 40 you have no brain.”
Well then, I don’t have a heart, but a brain is worth more to me anyways. I’m a dirty capitalist through and through.
One of the problems with the younguns is they have the idea that you just waltz into the same economic situation that you had when you lived with mom and dad.
Real estate is a good point.
Their parents usually rented an apartment until they saved the down payment for a starter home.
As their economic situation got better, better paying jobs, promotions and whatnot, they traded up to a nicer home with better neighbors and good schools.
The younguns expect to graduate high school and walk into a job just like the one mom or dad have *now*.
They expect their first house to be just like mom and dads, a three or four bedroom w/kitchen, dining room, basement and attached two car garage on a minimum of two acres of land.
They expect to drive the same loaded car/suv/truck that the parents had. And no older than one year old.
No cheap starter cars for these Special Snowflakes!
This is a generalization, so there are exceptions, I know several who expect to start small.
I have acquaintances who are Realtors, car salesmen and service providers.
They shake their heads and try to explain to the kids why they can’t get that same job mom or dad spent decades working up to.
Or they have to try and talk the kids into houses and cars they can actually afford.
The kids have been told for so long that great things come without sacrifice that they don’t even understand the concept.
We, as in we generally, have betrayed the younger generations by shielding them from the realities of the world.
Bad things happen to good people and not everyone wins.
There are no participation trophies in the real world.
