A Pyrrhic Victory for America’s Youth [Will BO's punks stop dancing when entitlement bill comes due?
National Review ^ | 11/12/12 | Scott W Atlas

Posted on 11/12/2012 2:17:24 PM PST by SoFloFreeper

Dancing in Chicago, young voters gleefully celebrated President Obama’s victory. Indeed, voters younger than 30 may well have changed the outcome of the race. They represented 19 percent of all voters, even more than they did in 2008, and they favored President Obama by 60 to 37 percent, according to exit polling.

One college student asked me, “What exactly are they so excited about?”

Presumably, they aren’t celebrating their job prospects. Under this administration, unemployment of younger Americans and recent college graduates is not very different from the scandalous unemployment rates of youth in failing European countries whose misguided economic policies are creating a nearly jobless generation.

Head like a hole.
Black as your soul.
I'd rather die than give you control.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
Bow down before the one you serve.
You're going to get what you deserve.
God money's not looking for the cure.
God money's not concerned about the sick among the pure.
God money let's go dancing on the backs of the bruised.
God money's not one to choose

Family members that I know backed Obama will be getting cut off $$$$-wise. (not that it matters, we don’t have much) Will NOT assist in their freeloading.Sooner, rather than later, I will be giving the tiny assets I do have to those members that are conservative-leaning. Even if it’s a piece of china, or figurine. Seriously, I am SO ticked.

Will at least make me feel better.

Forgot to mention a key aspect: Growing government while at the same time killing the private sector. If 0bama had his way there’d be NO private sector. “You didn’t build that!”—Barack Obama

Well, eliminating the old folks (those who know how America is SUPPOSED TO BE) so the indoctrinated youth are the majority; JUST DON’T CENSOR THEIR INTERNET. THAT MIGHT PISS THEM OFF!

A good summation of why it happened and what is coming:

“...But all the dependency champions who celebrated on Tuesday night cannot stop the coming storm. The greatest advantage Obama had going into the election was not demography but the fact that the full consequences of his statist economic policies and his pro-jihadist foreign policy have not yet been felt.

Nationalized healthcare will only be fully implemented in 2014. Americans will only begin watching old men and women die because the federal government denied them lifesaving, but expensive treatments a year from now. They will only lose their doctors due to dwindling Medicare reimbursements in a year.

College students who got out the vote for Obama will only find themselves doomed to low-paying jobs and a life of indebtedness as they fail year in and year out to pay off their college loans, in a year or two. And by the time they realize what it means to be saddled with a national debt of $16 trillion, they will be locked into a government-controlled economy that requires them to keep their silence or lose their livelihoods...” Caroline Glick

No.
Communist governments always blame everything on he previous regime until that gets old, maybe in 10 years, then they blame stuff on "wreckers" or "enemies of the people" or "enemies of the State." The first generation of enthusiasts buys it for decades before cynicism begins to seep in. At some point the regime will turn the bemused generation against the rest of the population in a "Cultural Revolution" or an analogue.

It is more likely that Barry will use those in danger of disenchantment to afflict oreliminate those designated as the cause of all their troubles, namely “Capitlist roaders” and “reactionaries” and “Bushites” and “wreckers” and “Christians.”
