I loathe Glenn Beck now

[Revolution0918]

Dont know if any1 is watching his show today, but he literally just ripped my generation a new $#@!, talking about how were generation "me" and how we were spoiled and how everythings r fault. Once again showing how big an idiot he is. I dunno what the demographics look like for this forum, but im pretty sure that the majority are in my generation (born in 86) and i could not be more dissapointed that r generation, who hasnt even had a chance to get but a foot into the work force, is being blamed for the problems that face this country.

[Bruno]

is he making any logical connections at all as to how people under 20 happen to be at fault for where our country is today?

[Chester Copperpot]

I graduated high school in 1986

[sevin]

Agreed. It's not just this generation. It goes back to the baby boomers. I think they were the first spoiled generation in a while because those who grew up during the 30's were so determined to make sure their children had better lives.

But really, I think it's better to say: more people in that generation were spoiled. One can't blame an entire generation. There are hard-working freedom lovers of all ages.

87 for me.

Ayn Rand would probably take pride in being called part of the "me" generation, if she could excuse the collectivist generalization. She would probably correct Beck and point out that every single human being in history has been self-interested.

[FSP-Rebel]

87 for me.

'00 for me.

[Bruno]

'00 for me.

careful, the years sneak past you quickly. Enjoy youth!

[Dr.3D]

Actually, the children of today are spoiled rotten. This is the generation of me!
By the way... I graduated in 1967. Since then, it's been about what is in it for ME!

I will admit, I am spoiled to some extent... but now.... most of the younger generation has little to no respect for their parents or respect for any kind of authority figure.

[phill4paul]

Well, in reality it would not be your generation that is failing America. That would fall on the generation that preceded it and did not properly prepare their youth for the good fight.

If there is anything wrong with your generation, then it is my generation's fault.
My son was born in 88 and he is a blithering idiot of a really smart guy as was I at his age.
My Father is the biggest idiot of the three of us though, yeah, he's a baby boomer.

[LBennett76]

I don't know. I seem to find the younger generation very "me" oriented and fairly ignorant on top of it. They also played a big role in Obama's campaign and victory.
That said, I don't think all are that way, such as yourself. And my generation, Generation X, isn't much better either. Most of my peers I know are super ultra liberal and think socialism is a fabulous idea. So... I don't know. But I really don't like the younger generation much. I feel like an old geezer with my "when I was your age" view of things and their feeling like they're owed something instead of earning it, hence their desire for more nanny state policies.

[manny229]

87 for me.

'90 for me ...... BTW I blame your generation for the wedgies I endured in High School

[Dr.3D]

Children don't spoil themselves.

No their friends help spoil them.

[heavenlyboy34]

'00 for me.

Me 2!

'90 for me ...... BTW I blame your generation for the wedgies I endured in High School

We called them snuggies in my neck of the woods, and it seemed the practice had been going strong for quite some time.

Never did one on anyone besides my brothers.

[Cowlesy]

Americans in general are jedi masters of blaming every other person.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

If I was Glenn Beck, I'd refuse to have Ron or Rand Paul on ever again, talk up Palin all the time and cheerlead for the on-going wars and more new wars.

I mean, if the Paul types here are going to hate me no matter what; I might as well stop pandering to them.

Some people just love to hate.

I don't think this applies to the Baby Boomers Doc. I thing old Sam would agree if he was here.

[Revolution0918]

Cowlesy....that is 1 of the greatest quotes i have ever seen lol....Im writing him a paper now on how hypicritical he is and about how he is totally wrong.....

[Revolution0918]

and resposnse to RonpaulfaninGa, when was the last time Glenn had Ron on his tv show...or rand......?

[Dieseler]

I heard Glenn once again today say," There is no one on the Right for us to get behind as Conservatives."
Every time I hear him say that my mind goes back to the tipping point, hour long interview show that Glenn did with Dr. Paul.
What is Dr. Paul Glenn?
Who the heck do you really work for Glenn?

I'm not suggesting anyone here reading this is a Conservative.
I know some of you are though.

[LibertyEagle]

Guys, the problems with our country started way before the Baby Boomers too. No one generation is at fault. There were good and bad people in ALL of the generations.

It does no good to pit generations against each other. The bad guys just love to have us all infighting.
