Let the children suffer

I got into an argument Monday night with a caller while a guest on The Republican Temple radio program. I said I thought our children needed to suffer, and as the gentleman on the line went into kneejerk mode without allowing me complete my point, I think I'll make it here, without a rude interruption.
Our country is a mess right now. Granted, President Obama "inherited" some financial issues but I'd almost be willing to bet John McCain wouldn't be taking over businesses, firing their CEO's and positioning himself between them and the pitchforks, begging the United Nations for intervention in an arms crisis where our national interests could be threatened, and spending a future generation into oblivion.
And why is our country a mess today?
In part, because most of our know-it-all, arrogant, never-had-to-sacrifice children voted for him. It's now time for them to feel the pain.
Let's not forget recent history.
During the last election cycle, our youth reveled in the fact they could get in our faces. They did so on the streets and on our websites. They discovered conservatism with Ron Paul and told us how the concept was really defined. They invaded our online forums and dictated the terms of discussion. They insulted their elders who, in most cases, paid for the online services they were using.
With the rising popularity of Barack Obama, they became instant experts in economics, foreign policy, partisan politics, and proceeded to tell us how we should think, what we could or could not say, and when we strayed from their desired thought processes, came down on us like we were racist, uneducated, intolerant insects.
They terrorized other young people on campus who dared not breathe the fresh Obama air. They interjected themselves into conversations when there was any talk of non-Obama support.
These are the same young people who never had to suffer as our grandparents did. These are the same young people who pester us for the latest and greatest cellphone/texting plans they don't intend to pay for. These are the same people who we sacrifice to house, clothe, and feed, and instead of thanking us, talked down to us because some of us weren't willing to give them one more thing they demanded: Barack Obama.
They had little knowledge and/or experience in paying bills, thus they had little knowledge of how Obama's policies would affect the contents of the refrigerator. They had little knowledge and/or experience in paying a mortgage, while they played activist in their well-lit, warm, cozy, free rooms. They had little knowledge and/or experience of what layoffs would do to their parents' financial standing. They had little knowledge and/or experience, yet they got in our faces and told us how wonderful November 5th would be with Barack Obama as President of the United States.
And now that they've gotten their way, many have gone back to their old habits of wanting this or demanding that, not realizing their naive political choices have seriously impacted the lives of those who receive the priviledge of having them move back home when life gets rough.
Now that jobs are drying up and money is getting tight, they're freaking out because life wasn't as cherry as it used to be. They can't walk into a place of employment and get a job simply because they want it. The ramifications of their Barack Obama-Democrat cabal are smacking them square in the face, and as we're talking about Nickelodeon-trained punks who consider parents punchlines, their reeducation into real world ramifications may take awhile.
So for that reason, I say let them suffer.
Let them experience what many of us commonly know as "the consequences of your actions". Let them experience just how powerful their blind, ignorant, "Yes We Can" vote was. Let them experience watching their parents lose the college funds and retirement accounts. Let them see what they have done to the United States of America because THEY knew better.
We oldheads know from experience that we can try to talk to these kids, and their pat response is always "I know, I know." It's time to let them "know" what they gave us.
Why?
Because unless we do, these arrogant, narcissistic, know-it-all punks will be back in our faces in 2012.
