You Millenials voted for Obama by a margin of 28 percent, which will make it a lot easier for me to accept the benefits you will be paying for. We warned you that liberalism was a scam designed to take the fruits of your labor and transfer it to us, the older, established generation. Oh, and also to the couch-dwelling, Democrat-voting losers who live off of food stamps and order junk from QVC with their Obamaphones.
You didn’t listen to us. Maybe you’ll listen to pain.
I have been told that being hard on you Millennials will turn you against conservatism, that I should offer you a positive, hopeful message that avoids the touchy problem of your manifest stupidity.
No. There’s no sugar-coating it – your votes for Democrats have ensured that you are the first generation in American history that will fail to exceed what their parents attained. Embracing liberalism was a stupid thing to do, done for the stupidest of reasons, and I will now let you subsidize my affluent lifestyle without a shred of guilt.
I’m a 48 year old trial lawyer living on the coast in California – I should have “Hope and Change” tattooed on my glutes. I’d have an excuse to be lib-curious, but you Millennials? Why do you support an ideology that pillages you to pay-off Democrat constituencies? Your time in the indoctrination factories of academia trained you in a form of “critical thinking” that is neither. Somehow, you came to embrace the bizarre notion that conservatives are psychotic Jesus freaks who want to Footloosisze America into a land of mandatory Sunday school and no dancing.
But liberals, in contrast, are nice. Obama is cool. You chose petty fascism with a smile. Not a lot of thought went into it. Facts, evidence – these were mere distractions from the feelings-based validation that came from rejecting us wicked conservatives.
What did you get? The chance to be forced to buy health insurance you don’t want at inflated rates so my rates can be lower. You get to pay more out of your monthly barista take – liberalism ensured that the tanked job market foreclosed a real career – so that I get to pay less out of my lawyer checks. Thanks, suckers.
You fume that conservatives want to spy on you in your bedrooms. Leaving aside the fact that that your tacky boudoir fumblings are the last thing conservatives care about, have you noticed how your precious Big Brother spies on your doings everywhere else? But who cares about that – Mumford & Sons totally digs Obama!
Don’t even get me started on your crappy music.
Enjoy your student loans, Millennials! We tried to tell you that it was a Democrat scam designed to subsidize liberal academia by allowing you to go into decades of crushing debt to pay for a bachelors in Ancient Guatemalan Gender Identity Issues.
Good plan. Now fetch my latte – I’m in a hurry to get to my corner office. And I’ll leave you a tip – next time you decide to vote for a liberal, first be born in 1964.
Don’t think that I’m happy about this. I came to Los Angeles after the Gulf War. I had a car and a few bucks I had saved in the desert which went right into paying for Loyola Law School. I had no contacts and no money, but I knew I had endless opportunity.
I worked hard. I could start a business. I could get credit. I could – and did – build my own future.
But can you? Liberalism, with its impoverishing redistribution, crippling regulations and the debt it suckered you into undertaking, has ensured that most of you can’t.
You live with your parents, and Obamacare encourages sponging until you are 26 years old. At 26, I was leading Americans in a war, not begging mommy to pay my bills. The liberals want you to be eternal man-children, wearing cargo shorts and passively pumping money into their socialized medicine nightmare in return for “Brosurance” you don’t want or need.
It breaks my heart to see the young lawyers I hire hobbled by six figures of debt. But hey, your desperation works fine for us established folks. I got 297 applications for a junior associate position. Let me say that again – 297. Most of them weren’t even practicing law – they were brewing coffee, not writing briefs. Now, I understand that most of you learned nothing but liberal clichés in college, but take a guess: As an employer, are the salaries I pay generally more or less when I have 297 people competing for each job?
So feel free to keep voting for the liberals who keep you in chains. I’ll take my cheaper insurance, my future Social Security checks, and the other benefits that come from being established without guilt. The guys who you squander your votes upon certainly won’t change that equation. You’ll tread water in life, but hey, at least those conservatives won’t be in charge!
Thanks again, suckers. Now get off my lawn.
Thanks, Saul. (Why do trial lawyers think a courtroom is a free marketplace?)
Not sure whether to laugh or cry....
In the end Kurt the lawyer may just be marched off to his re-education facility for a little chat with the “death panel”....
Not sure who will get the last laugh here...
Every once in awhile I read an article and think - “Boy I wish I had written that”
This is one of them.
“Footloosize” - Priceless
You stupid idiots voted for him and elections have consequences....deal with it.
Not a change. The left will blame the Tea Party, evil insurance companies, conservatives in general and sunspots, if that is what it takes. They will never face their own delusions and will attack you or worse if you try to educate them. Their reason for living is their delusion of remaking the world into what they think is a better place and they will die rather than face their failings.
Does this author really think that a generation which has been so thoroughly brainwashed as to believe that Republicans are homophobic, racist, misogynistic, and jingoistic are going to believe that the real villain is a system of taxation which effects a massive transfer of wealth? The liberals have already personalized the villains, they are us, that image cannot be overcome with a reasoned analysis.
They vote against their interests because they don't know any better and because they have been diverted to a parallel universe. They already have their villains and they are perfectly satisfied with them. We lost the battle in the schools so we lose it at the polling stations.
“Elections have consequences,” as the Democrats constantly remind us. It’s time the university sheep and the welfare parasites suffer for their ignorance. No more subsidies for Democrat voters.
Nice!
Yep. These fools voted to hang the albatross around their necks.
Elections do have indeed consequences, and it it time that these morons get what they deserve for their ignorance. I don’t feel one bit sorry for them.
They sure did
Not exactly forced. If they are uninsured now maybe they will just stay insured and little the IRS can do about it.
Not likely. Islam teaches how to shape a society where people will fight for what they “believe” in, no matter how little logical sense it makes to them. The youth of America have drunk so deep of the Kool-Aid, there’s not much to be done through traditional political realization; they need to see their gods defeated.
What the author understands is that only a small percentage have to see the light to flip elections. Besides, he apparently is positioned not to have to worry about it…..so he also understands that the aim of his article was to make him and others feel better…..not to convince the millineals to change.
Our children have spent k-12 in communist indoctrination camps. Only years of confronting reality will bring them around. I only hope our country survives that long.
Another segment of young people are the ones who have just given up. To them all politicians are bad guys ...they’re not quite on the level of occupy/anarchist ...but they would be if they could. They just don’t vote, either way. Their voices are mute. And all of them are struggling ...
It’s sad ...but they are creating their own world, either through socialistic tendencies or all out apathy. A lot of them seem to have nothing to care or fight for. I work with a lot of them.
But that also comes from not being taught to value America, or freedom, or our the Constitution. If you don’t know about it, why would you care about it?
“…..so he also understands that the aim of his article was to make him and others feel better…..not to convince the millineals to change.”
I’m not sure what the aim of this article was, but it precisely sums up what I’ve wanted to say to several college students I know, some of whom are supporting Terry McAuliffe in Virginia solely based on Cuccinelli’s stand on abortion.
One thing that might get some young people to reconsider their knee-jerk Democrat voting pattern is constant reminders that they are truly being screwed over by Washington.
Which ones aren't?
