I think more young people are realizing the size of our debt and the spending habits of our new debtor in chief and they don’t like it.
If they don’t wake up soon and demand fiscal responsibility they will pay the biggest price in the future after Grandma and Grandpa are long gone as is social security, medicaid/medicare, and the dollar.
Way I see it...
Eight years of mindless MSM and pop culture Bush bashing made them ripe for manipulation.
All they wanted was “change”, or they were told that is what they so dearly wanted. They had no idea what it meant or cared beyond the flowery words and being kewl. Now they see things just getting worse and reality is setting in.
You don’t get something for nothing. Obama is not magical.
There are people around the world that still want to kill us. Good jobs are hard to come by, and the smarter ones know what the word “deficit” means.
Hopefully that have thought that deeply about it. Too many youth have not paid heed to the addage about there not being a free lunch.
I bet this ignorant fool actually believes that all those urban Cubans out there "volunteering" to help with the sugar cane harvest are real "volunteers" too. Collectivism trades on the credulity of schmucks, and they, at least, are the fascists' lawful prey.
....I’ve seen this movie before....in ‘72 so many kids worked for McGovern in the primaries that one wag in the the press called it “The Children’s Crusade”....of course, if a remark like that was said today few would know what he was talking about....such is the level of cultural literacy.
I had a discussion with an undergrad just yesterday who was bemoaning that, without Bush/Cheney in the WH, it’s “hard to hate anyone anymore.”
These dull witted losers really believed that defeating Bush42 was the single step needed to solve all the problems of mankind. Such is the power of the Leftist media.
I keep fantasizing that the Republicans will take both houses leaving Zero with just Biden and Hillary ...
Along with them knowing that THEY dont know what THEY are doing.
If it isnt fun, fun, fun...they want no part of it...their minds cant stay focused on anything of any importance.
Suddenly they are some $5000 poorer for their votes for hopenchange and they cannot get jobs because employers won't be adding any new high cost positions.
Now they realize that their magical mystery man/deity can't wave his hand and take away their problems.

Most of them probably don't care. I daresay most of them are bored.
Like my adult Lib friends(all two of them), I find them to be very uninformed about either Zero’s policies or why they voted for him. They can’t seem to remember. It’s really scary that so many of our country’s youth got in line behind a dangerous candidate whom they knew little or nothing about, except that he was “cool”.
Drones: Lemmings: Am I missing a category?
They are having their Colonel Nicholson moment, "My God, what have I done".
This is one segment of the Baraqqi coalition that CAN be cleaved off if Republicans are smart about it.
Unemployment baby!
Taxes baby!
Forced healthcare baby!
I agree. They are babies at 18.
Bump.
Great observation and analogy! ;-)
Speaking of kool-aid, how in the world did Jim Jones manage to kill so many people and have them will their money to the Soviet Union?
We had all better wake the heck up.
