Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

UNM students reflective of entitlement and lack of responsibility mentality

These kids are clearly not being served well at the University of New Mexico.  When they hit the real world, a rude awakening awaits.  From KRQE:

University of New Mexico students are worried the federal deficit is going to cause a boom in unwanted pregnancies. (That evil Bu$hitler McRummyburton is impregnating women against their will! Damn you, Dubya! – Ed.)

UNM is now feeling the affects of the Deficit Reduction Act passed in 2005 whose funding cuts reduce money used by universities to subsidize birth control.

The price of birth control on campuses and family planning clinics has more than doubled.  Today students at UNM encouraged their peers to call and ask lawmakers to cosponsor a bill that would return the funding for birth control.

Restoring the funds will reduce the squeeze on cash-strapped students, added Ambrosia Ortiz.

“So they don’t have to make a choice between their birth control and their cell phone bill or their birth control and their gym membership and their birth control,” Ortiz said.  “These are choices women that women shouldn’t have to make. 

Oh. My. God (insert politically correct deity here).  Heaven forbid that people who have a certain amount of money be forced into prioritizing their money!  I mean, the next thing you know, they’ll be asking me to choose between a 62″ plasma HDTV and a 2008 Hummer H3…and those are choices that men shouldn’t have to make! Budgets? Why, that’s just crazy talk!

Here’s a hint for you, ladies: if you can’t afford both your cell phone and birth control, then either (a) shut your yapper and ditch the cell phone; or (b) close your legs.  There you go.  Free advice, and “you’re welcome” in advance.

  1. “These are choices women that women shouldn’t have to make.”

    Geez. If women cannot be expected to take the responsibility for choices like gym memberships and birth control, how can they be relied upon to make any sort of decision about things like voting or aborting fetuses – or god forbid there’s a woman CEO, and she has to make choices while running a business. Guess that glass ceiling is there for a reason.

    I mean, what they’re really saying here is people shouldn’t have to make choices at all. The state should just give them whatever they want. How come no one says “There are choices no reasonable human being would expect other people to fund”?

  2. Wow! I could just afford the required books when I was in college. Who are these people that can afford cell phones and car payments at the same time? Damn, I’m getting old.

  3. When I worked in Albuquerque it was a running joke around the office that you couldnt tell the bums for the rest of the populace because they all dressed the same. When you went someplace for a drink ANYWHERE in the city, people on the street were always hitting you up for change. I remember one time while I was going to my room on the 2nd floor in the hotel with walkways on the outside someone in the parking lot shouted up to ask for change. You got hit up at the gas station all the time. The whole town has their hand out, so why shouldnt the students at the university have theirs out too?

  4. I guess the entitlement mentality is also apparent in the whiny victim groups!
    It’s funny how liberals talk a big deal about the “Have nots”.
    How about the “Work nots”?
    People who are more than able to work but decide to collect those bread crumbs called handouts!
