The REPUG/Neo-Cons are Destroying our Youth's


Hope that their destiny can be guided by their vote at the polls...

Tonight my future Son-In-Law was over while the local news was featuring a soldier who is from nearby Maple Valley WA who got to ask a stage question to the Chimpmaster.....I made mention that the event was staged and that it was scripted as well as an episode of Desperate Housewives. He looked at me and replied what are you saying.....I said once again our president is making an attempt to prop himself up with another photo-op and use our troops as prositutes in his quest.....his reply was "you know I am beginning to think both partys are working together to destroy the USA he said he can no longer have faith in either party.....


This was a guy who decorated his car up last Fall with stickers of Kerry/Edwards and had posters of bush dressed up in Nazis clothes....

He said he has began to think it dont matter how we vote...

1. my son was avid dem after getting out of the Navy two years ago
he told many stories of sailors (career types) getting out as soon as poss because bush was destroying the military.

after the latest "selection/coronation" and all that has happened he says i am foolish for believing democracy can still exist in america once again. i must admit that i also wonder if we can ever reclaim our democracy.

2. Congratulations on your Son-In Law's Awakening...
He is well on his way to maturity...

Yes, It matters not because they are all corrupt, arrogant and elitist...both parties, both have devolved into a circus which plays it clowns on the three ring circus which is the executive, legislative and judicial branches....They are ALL a joke.

This young man is well on his way to being a full fledged cynic - welcome to the crowd...

Reminds me of an old saying...Opinions are like assholes. Everybody's got one, and they all stink except mine.....

3. What do you expect young people to think?
After 2 elections were stolen from we the people and all of the BS they are seeing plus all the double standards they live with, you expect them to actually have faith in the system? Remember what the vietnam generations motto was, don't trust anyone over 30.

The youth of the country are starting to show the same symptoms that we who grew up in the 60's went through, disbelief, question what your told and ignore what the older generation had to say.

About the only thing todays youth haven't done yet is turn their backs on religion. Yet. I see that coming next because its been the religious right thats propped up GW and the republicans. When they try to get a job and see what adults face, well their faith is really going to be torn apart and they too will tune in, drop out and turn on.

4. oh my...
that reminds me of my mis-spent youth. I half expect to open the door and find a long-haired guy with a knee-length army coat smoking a joint.
