A Lost Generation Of Entitled Brats
“As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” My mother, who was an excellent seamstress, had a saying satirizing that Biblical phrase: “As ye sew, so shall ye rip.” It was her way of saying when mistakes are made, you will have to rip them out. (Genius, no?) It was also her way of accepting that mistakes are made sometimes and you have to deal with them … with your effort and time, to correct the error. (She had lots of flaws, but she did love to impart simple adages of wisdom that follow me around today, and for which I’m grateful.)
Such a simple creed: Ripping out mistakes. But when you set up huge bureaucracies of entitlement mistakes, it takes a lot of ripping to fix them. And the push back from those who now believe they are entitled is loud, crass, and not surprising in some ways. Entitlements ruin people. It makes them think they can steal from others for their own gain. It makes them think they don’t have to work for their own livelihoods. It makes them think some far away government fairy will send them checks just for breathing. So then, when the ripping begins and those entitled find out they aren’t entitled after all, the screaming begins.
Areas of the world are on fire with riots and violence. Lots of areas. Lots of violence. Lots of destruction. And what is the rebel yell of this mob violence spreading across the world? “Gimme!” “Gimme!” “Gimme!” The flash mobs yell they want, want, and want some more! What do they want? Government nannies.
Somehow it seems perfectly fitting that a spoiled brat sits in the White House today. His sense of entitlement reflects so much of what his generation and his Socialist mentors have done to the world. His credentials were nearly nil. He was raised on the doctrine of entitlement and demands. He entered office thinking he was entitled to redistribute people’s wealth. It is his only stock and trade. He spent the wad and then spent some more. He spent until the red ink flowed into the future, as farther than anyone can see. And he is still at it. It is all he knows how to do: Spend other people’s money and then announce that everyone is entitled to someone else’s money by demand. His demand. He’s really great at it. What a legacy of virtue, eh?
In saying this, I feel obliged to blame my generation of hippie brats who begat this infantile, temper tantrum, flash mob violence-ridden “Gimme” population of nothings. And I will not blame myself or my children. I am neither blaming those in my generation who did raise their children to be responsible adults. But, from what we are witnessing, I have to conclude there are millions of young brats being unleashed onto civil society. My family is still in the Middle Kingdom of working for a living and expecting to support ourselves. My family thrives on hard work and drive. Work defines us.
It is the other parents of my age group, those druggies and hippies, those wannabee revolutionaries, those who swallowed the university Kool-ade, those do-gooder egotists from the ’60s, those who never taught their children to make anything or to work at something. There must have been a lot of them. All over the world. Bunches and bunches of entitled children looking to governments to fulfill their lives. A world full of parental artful dodgers raising children who have just been waiting to explode and tear the place apart.
I can’t begin to wrap my mind around this amazing eruption of multitudes of idiots. These youthful idiots are screaming for global socialism, while setting London, Philadelphia, and Israel on fire. I’m wondering who told them they are entitled? But then I look at the adult child in the White House, and I look at the population in this country who elected him, and I know who told them they are entitled. Socialists (Marxists – Communists) told them. Kool-ade drinkers told them. Universities told them. Public school curricula told them. Environmentalists told them. Now even Churches are telling them.
Socialists have been handing out this entitlement dogma all over Europe since the French Revolution. Never a word is uttered indicating the tyranny of Socialism. As Marx and Engels poisoned minds all over Western Civilization, the Fabian Socialists in England took up the Communitarian-Communist mantra to hide their contempt for man. Empty promises of Utopian systems were handed out like candy disguising the poison inside. For decades this poison has been forced down the throats of public school students from kindergarten through universities in America and Europe. This poison spread far and wide after the fall of the Soviet Union. And even after the Soviet experiment failed, the Socialist brats continued to insist their entitlement solutions would work. As usual with spoiled brats, they don’t take failure as a lesson, they don’t take “no” for an answer. They just keep screaming, “Gimme!” “Gimme!” “Gimme!”
“They are products of a culture which gives them so much unconditionally that they are let off learning how to become human beings. My dogs are better behaved and subscribe to a higher code of values than the young rioters of Tottenham, Hackney, Clapham and Birmingham.”
As Barack Obama made his campaign tour in Europe, he announced, “We are the ones the world has been waiting for.” Exactly what do you think he meant by that? To whom was he speaking? What promises did the European youth hear? What kind of an egotistical battle cry is, “We are the ones the world has been waiting for?” A bit over the top, don’t you think? Entitlement speaks very loud and Obama speaks of it so eloquently. The entitlements flow from his mouth and his pen like melting butter on a hot bun. Here it is said he is not a leader. I think he is leading, but the path he is leading is toward global Socialist/Marxist entitlement – a brat rebellion.
I guess the world’s entitled brats are getting tired of waiting for whatever it was they thought they were going to get, because now they are simultaneously erupting in violent convulsions, destroying anything and everything in their bloody way, stealing and smashing and throwing their tantrums. If you consider the London riots, those are the already entitled receivers of government largesse on a massive scale, yet they are still destroying all in their way. The psychology of that is rich with mental illness, retarded maturity, and immorality beyond the comprehension of reasonable and civilized people. You see, a spoiled brat will never get enough to satisfy that desire to have it all.
What Americans must do is rip out the mistaken dogma of Socialist entitlements and Soviet-style corruption practices that are destroying our Republic. We need to begin ripping it out of every nook and cranny of American life. Americans must reject the Obama path to global Socialism. We must rip this mistake out with as much fervor and haste as possible. Only then, will the fabric of our nation be woven back together again.

Cheryl I agree with you up to a point…but “the rich” – especially the banks and large corporations, have done a bit of sowing of their own, and these riots are just the first installment, I fear, of what they will soon reap.They have been in bed with government all along, agreeing to pay a bit of “blood money” in the form of taxes to fund the welfare/entitlement programs required to buy elections. In turn, the government looked the other way as they raped America, sent jobs overseas and in general destroyed all opportunity for young people to move into, or remain in, the middle class.The fact is these young people, in Europe and the middle east, ARE “the ones we have been waiting for”…and as our own youth wake up and realize what middle aged folks in the tea party have already realized, I can only hope they choose a peaceful path to changing our corrupt world.

Usually you and I agree, but I’m confused on your response this time, BCG. I don’t think those rioting in Europe, here, and elsewhere in the world are demanding the responsibilities that come with freedom. I don’t think they even know what that is. From what I saw and heard, demands were made for “stuff,” not freedom. I didn’t hear any of them screaming for jobs or equal opportunity or respect for property. What I heard them say is that they felt “entitled” to take and destroy whatever they wanted because they think they have been shafted out of the largesse handed out by government.
I read my article over again just now and cannot find where I referenced rich banks and corporations. While I readily agree that “private public partnerships” have created a socialist /fascist system and that should be dismantled post haste, I see these young people have been set up to think that the socialist / fascist system will take care of them ad infinitum. Out of all of the videos and articles I read on the recent uprisings, I don’t see or hear anything that looks like an American revolution. The reverse is what I see. It looks more like the Bolshevik revolution…and that should strike fear in the heart of every American. I would hope America’s youth could recognize the difference, reject the destruction of Western civilizaiton, and resist the urge to act like feral brats. Obama is encouraging the Bolsheviks. The Tea Party is encouraging the Constitutionalists. I think there is a huge difference.

“I don’t think those rioting in Europe, here, and elsewhere in the world are demanding the responsibilities that come with freedom. I don’t think they even know what that is. From what I saw and heard, demands were made for “stuff,” not freedom.” I agree wholeheartedly and was not trying to lend any nobility to the rioters. I just think the REASON they “don’t even know what that is” is precisely because of the policies and attitudes of both parties, indeed of all successful folks who buy our own press that we are successful soley because of our own hard work. “Stuff” is the outward symbol of success. The path to true success is a mystery to most of these youths and the reason is the social programs that can never replace actual examples of opportunity and “working your way up.” While the pittance they receive may keep them from true poverty, it also keeps them from true success. I used the banks as a local example of the lack of a social, biblical comittment to our fellow man that is so lacking. We believe the taxes we pay, or the shekkels we dutifully place in the offering plate, absolve us from any responsibility to provide for and mentor those who need a leg up. We have become a mean and selfish society…and then are shocked at the meaness and selfishness of those we have left behind.

Cheryl:
I agree with the sentiment, but BO and his elitist pals are not the only ones to blame. I recently read ” Decision Points” by GWB and believe me he is every bit as guilty as the Dems. Spending money? When Bush took office the national debt was $5.5 TRILLION. When he finally checked out of the White House it was $11 TRILLION. If you have the stomach to read the entire 492 pages of his drivel you will come to the conclusion he is an infantile, emotional, nitwit who really, really, hurt this country. Until people like yourself look at the political scene objectively – that we are ruled by an elite that controls both political parties on a national, state, and local level- we will never break the chains that currently bind us.

Hi Cheryl,
I don’t think I’ve read a more thoughtful, pertinent, cogent article in Pundithouse than your column above.
Your love of what made America unique in the world…the Constitution with its design of individual freedom and liberty and limited government and your disdain for those who are trying to destroy her comes through loud and clear.
I am reminded of the words of socialist Norman Thomas from the 1940′s who said:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But under the name of Liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without knowing how it happened.”
And so it has come to pass in America….from Roosevelt’s “Great Society” to Johnson’s “War on Poverty” to Bush’s “Medicare Part D” to Obama’s “Obamacare”, bill by bill and law by law, America has moved so far down the road to serfdom that we can see the warning sign of calamity in the distance that says danger, cliff ahead.
What will it take to incite Americans to action to save our country from ruin while we still can…we have witnessed the theft of our personal resources by the government to redistribute to others to pay for retirement programs, healthcare, housing and more…all unconstitutional acts that should have been challenged in court but were not…the next thing you know they will be taking our resources to pay for cars for their voters…oh wait…we had the “Cash for Klunkers” program at tax payer’s expense.
“We The People” are the only true bastion of freedom left that turn back socialism in America…we must arise and let the passion and voice of freedom be heard. We must demand that the Constitution be honored, that these socialistic programs be repealed, that these thefts be disallowed, that our resources be returned to their rightful owner, and that individual responsibility return to our nation.
Cheryl, thank you for your passion in defense of freedom!

well,well it’s come to this has it.
if you grow government like a red-state-ist,and wage imperial war like a red-state-ist,and you censor free speech like a red-state-ist,well you just might be a red-state-ist.
you neo-con-trotskyites,and you know who you are,better reconsider the historical consequences of your professed heresy.

Cheryl reminds us strongly – the issue in the young is how they have been taught. Not just parents but too much of the social system. Schools won’t even make students responsble for not studying – they all should go to college is the mantra and – one supposes – all make good grades there while not studying.
Bah – flunk them early and often. Bring back the paddle. Make them work and be responsible for their own actions.
