These are the types of people who almost won it for Reagan in 1976 and did so in 1980.

[kharaku]

Sean Hannity is a young conservative?

[AliVeritas]

Just goes to show...those who have the kids, rule the world.

Let the libs keep aborting...they will be non-existent soon.

Let's see what they can do in 2008.

Since me and him are about the same age, I'm going to have to say "yea".

[Neoliberalnot]

Rob, this is great news. I sense the movement is growing too. College Republicans is gaining membership on many campuses. Less important than political party is whether students hold the right values versus no values or whatever Hollywood directs. Pray they will figure it out.

[Ranald S. MacKenzie]

Good news! Good post!

I am afraid this group of young conservatives just cannot compare to 76 0r 80.Nearly all of them would rather hear Coulter talk than talk about Reagan,would rather bash liberals than promote conservatism,would rather party than promote the cause.They are hedonists.The main problem I see as I talk to them is that they have not got a clue what conservatism is.They are not ideologues.They are being taught "compassionate" conservatism.They think Republican=conservatism THIS IS VERY dangerous as we move forward.Keep in mind I am only talking about the vast majority of them .The small remnant of 10% or so who are conservative are better than any generation ever has been and we will have to get it done with them for now until the others realize the truth.We meet some great conservatives, but overall I would say we could be "headed to the uncharted waters of big government Republicanism" to quote Pence if we do not "Right the Ship"

I graduated about six months ago from a secular state university, and I noticed this trend in a big way. When the my campus christian group and the other christian groups got together to do something, huge numbers of people would turn out. At a symposium on terrorism, the audience was most sympathetic to a retired colonel who favored an aggressive prosecution of the war.

OTOH, when liberals had their little rallies, everyone would try to walk around them with their heads as low as possible, so as not to be noticed and thus accosted by some uber-lib with a pamphlet they didn't want to read.

Times are changing.

I'd say this is true of College Republican-types, but not people in college conservative clubs.

[Gipper08]

"but not people in college conservative clubs"

Unfortunately,you are wrong.What is a bigger "conservative" college club than YAF? They think they ARE conservative and they could care less about the size of government.

[RoseofTexas]

My 15 year old son is one of them! He is as conservative as conservative come...I must have done a good job! He gets a kick every time I say LIBERAL RAT at those idiots on the tube. ;)

[Pyro7480]

Do you mean the Young America's Foundation, or Young Americans for Freedom?

[ForGod'sSake]

More good news...

Political correctness has permeated so deeply into the contemporary campus that young people, instead of being attracted by it, are so repulsed that they are driven to seek conservative ideas.

I've done my part. Two grown daughters that would kill a lib and eat their children if necessary.

Compared to Bill Clinton, Sean Hannity is a young man. He still has little children at home.
