Honestly, it’s pretty clear that the kid’s upbringing has done him no favors. I mean when a very left wing dad has to defend the U.S. to his son, we’re in the Twilight Zone.

We were at a dinner event one time, and a couple of us at the table suggested that if the kid wanted to go to a top college, he should apply to a service academy (the parents are not that well off). If you get in the tuition is free after all, and you can’t beat that deal. The kid was utterly aghast, and started ranting about the Evil USA. His dad, the lefty, had to calm him down and defend the US. I just kept my trap shut since it would not have gone well if I had lit into the kid for being a clueless, ungrateful little twit.

You can’t tell these know-it-alls ANYTHING.

That’s what depresses me.

We can no longer afford our government. But if you try explaining that to them, they call you a racist, tell you Reagan deficit spent, demand tax hikes, etc.

There are too many people in the country like your friends son. The nation is going to crack apart, but they don’t care as long as they’re getting theirs.

It just sucks. :(:(:(
