Reply #7: "The helicopter kids" What, are you assuming that all young Obama supporters are rich?

Jesus, that's as bad as the old '60s canard that antiwar protesters and left activists were "elitists" who only took the stances they took because they "hated Real Americans".

Many of them are not well-to-do. And you didn't learn "self-discipline". You just became a cynical "centrist"(I.E., conservative) who hates idealists.

We can build something good and positive if we include the young. We can do nothing if we tell them "not yet". We won't be able to ask them to stay with us if we say "wait your turn". Nobody ever actually does stay around after that kind of treatment.
