I have a third daughter who is a Gen X'er. The "O" word is forbidden in her house. 3 daughters, 3 conservatives.  :-)

Dad done did good.

Yeah, how weird are these artificial designators?  I've got a Gen X daughter, although she's a mere 2 years older than her millennial brother. :p  That's some stupid socialist spewing bullshit right there.  At least my husband and I raised both kids to respect the law, work and pay taxes, and in general drag society's dregs and burdens (DU progeny types are the example par excellence) along in their shining, achieving wakes much as the snail drags slime behind itself.  Or, much as my dogs drag their itchy asses along the floor in a vain attempt to rid themselves of extraneous shit...
IF our beloved America is to survive this century, she's gonna need a mega ton of good kids like yours and mine! :cheersmate:

I get so angry thinking about it that I imagine just sitting home on election day and letting the world burn.

I'm for letting it burn but I hunt, know how to fix about anything, and am fully self sufficient. If this did happen, you will be dead in two weeks. I know I would not help other than putting a bullet in you and taking any supplies (probably none).

The whiny screed does nothing but prove our point.

An open letter from a "millennial"

Sadly, you are a lost generation which is proved by the fact that you are supporting Bernie.

This article sums up your generation perfectly, although it doesn't apply to all millennials, based on your 'open letter' it certainly applies to you:

The Movies That Define Each Generation

Spoiler quote box:
Quote
So, what movie do I think represents Millennials? Well, it has to be one that values inclusion above all else, shirks responsibility, values personal choices above the safety of others, and has the emotional range of a maudlin teenager. So, the Twilight series. It makes sense – Millennials have exchanged the vampire coffins for the hip tiny houses and smart cars.

Liberals disgust me. (Now I don't have to remember to put it on each post).

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Kewl story bro.  But I confess the pictures are really what make it work.  Never will forget a friend putting a can of motor medic in the old Studebaker out front the soda fountain in the middle of the village.  Cranked it over and produced an incredible 'smoke show'.  Wicked awesome.  People were talking about it for months there after.  Fix it?  Nope.  Pretty much the same story, just increased oil consumption.   :rofl: :rofl:

When I was 27, it was 1990, and things were looking good. The Berlin Wall had come down, the Soviet Union was breaking up, I had a decent job and had just bought a house. Then 2 years later, Clinton the First was "elected" king and everything (body) was effed again.

You know what, jukin, not killing babies is important enough that I am willing to trade no baby killings/abortion for legalized pot.  I will be 57 in a few months so I remember the time no one I knew, besides myself and I'm not kidding, didn't smoke pot.  Most of them grew out of it.  Unfortunately, dead babies never get a chance to grow up.  So, if your son's friends would be willing to stop all abortion that couldn't be proven to save a mom's life then I would be willing to grow the pot for all of their asses.
Obviously all of this is pure fantasy since neither I nor your son or any of us have any power over policy, and the politicians on both sides of the aisle play us for fools against one another.  But I do know that until the US government decided to make pot illegal in the 1930's, when it used to grow everywhere, people had been smoking it forever.  Our founding fathers grew the marijuana plant, for hemp to make ropes for ships ostensibly, but it's hard to believe none of them ever smoked it.  OTOH, none of them would have EVER considered killing a baby for the crime of being "unwanted" by its mom or dad.

I was living in a little German farming town called Machtolsheim when the Wall came down in 1989; we just knew it meant an end to the decades long Cold War.  Ha!  Nothing changes.  The next year my husband was in Desert Storm.  I wished then, and still wish, that it were possible to wash our hands of the entire damn region.  We could be energy independent in this country save for the crazy environmentalist wackjobs who opposite the pipeline AND every Dem who campaigns on preserving all our lands for such important critters as bugs and fish.   :sarcasm:  I notice they never bother to consider any environmental havoc they might end up wreaking on the oil regions who drill, frack and whatever.  I was almost 31 when the Wall came down and I can assure you the very last thing I'd have expected would be to go into 2016 with Russia ascendant and the USA on her back, thanks to their leadership.  Or in Obama's case, his craven retreat from the world.
