Sympathy for Gen Yers? Some, But Very Little.

Some of these are poignant and at times incisive, but might I also remind the GenYers that they are, as a group, one of the most doctrinaire liberal/left cohorts that America has ever seen. They are reflexive believers in the canon of liberalism and big government solutions. Not that it is their fault necessarily, they've been used by progressive elites as a voting block to advance the progressive agenda for decades. From the geniuses who ran MTV ("rock the vote") to the university professors who gave them good grades in return for happily accepting an indoctrination rather than an education, GenY's elders used and abused them. (BTW, progressive elites sold GYers Barack Obama the same way they sold them music, clothes, and movies, and they lapped it up.) They should have seen it but they didn't. Chances are many of them were warned by some fuddy-duddy Republican at some point in their lives, but instead they choose to mock and look askance at those types because all their cultural influences told them to. GenY was sold down the river, but they acquiesced either happily or meekly. Your elders failed you, but you also failed yourselves. So my reaction is a mix of mild sympathy and dismissal of your plight.
