Damn Mexicans. Taking over.

Your generation is the one that is phuking this country up, we're just trying to fix it.

No, actually the Socialists and 'Progressives' are the ones fucking up this country.

It's still your generation.  And  Progressivism actually does work in State and local elections, but I agree it does not work on a federal level.

[CCTAU]

Your ideas on how to "fix" this country prove that your generation still has much to learn. It seems you want to "fix" this country with my generation's money.

Progressivism does not work in a free-market, capitalist society.  You can nearly guarantee equality of opportunity but you can't successfully engineer equality of outcome and still enjoy the same Freedom and Liberty that we have (such as it is with the Statists in the White House and Congress).  Even the great Theodore Roosevelt himself could not make Progressivism work and it was, of course, and epic failure in his pathetic bid as a third party candidate.

Now if you favor Progressivism on a more local level you're in good company with Representatives Dennis Kucinich, Bernie Saunders, and our own John Lewis from Georgia's 5th District...left-wingnuts all.  I could also throw in Cynthia McKinney too for good measure.  (I'm reminded of the bar scene from Star Wars for some reason.)

And, unlike most of the self-important, entitlement minded Baby Boomer generation my generation actually learned something from the Greatest Generation about the rewards of hard work and making a living WITHOUT the need of the nanny-state, big brother government that your generation appears to need in order to wipe their own noses.

You don't say much but when you do you get right to the point and I applaud you for it.

That could get you killed.




Who was the first country artist to win a grammy?

Who was the first person in the US to have triple bypass surgery?

Good point, all around.  Just remember not everyone from our generation wants nor needs handouts from FedGov.  Some of us would outright reject it, if given the choice, based on principle alone.

Cynthia McKinney!  I have not heard that name in a while (thankfully).  Last I heard she moved out to the left coast and was trying to head up the "Green Party".  She was always good for  a

THIS is what I've been preaching since I used to teach school.  Our principal and the board wanted equality of outcome.  Always. 

The only, only, only way to achieve equality of outcome was to set the bar so low that achievement meant essentially nothing. 

This idiotic position extends all the way down to sports where some of the younger leagues no longer keep score so as to not "humiliate" the losing teams. Every child gets a trophy and a medal and the winning team's can't be any larger than the worst team's. 

When there are no winners, ladies and gentlemen, nothing exists but a vast pool of losers.
