Liberals can’t cope, Conservatives know how.
There was a great movie on YouTube about these two people who were on an escalator that stopped. They stood there hollering for help just like typical Lib’s .... they couldn’t figure out that all they had to do is just walk up the stopped escalator - they wanted someone to walk down to get them ....

That sounds like a commercial that was on during the Olympics.

The thing is, many *boomers* remember having to do without, unlike today's pampered kids.

We'll get by because of the skills we learned from our parents.

That one was about affirmative action—the two on the elevator were a black male and a white female. It’s one of the best metaphors I’ve ever seen, and unfortunately many commenters thereon didn’t even get it.
