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 used to love these people. I bought a bike and started riding to and from campus. Blowing by those non-shaving, ratty-haired, stink-fleshed hippies on my 21 speed Diamonback gave me nothing but pleasure.

On the subject at hand: Thank God! Now... we need to return to traditional social values: personal responsibility, strong family, the importance and sanctity of marriage... I am a young, upstart professional, well ingrained in my field, but I'm scared to death of marriage on account of the litigious Rats in Reps clothing out there. Teachers, "artists," finance people... you name it, and 9 times out of 10, they're libs. Just check out Match.com sometime. Most of the women on there are self-described "middle of the road." As soon as they find out that I carry a .380 Walther PPK/S every day, anywhere I go, they're running for the hills thinking I'm a psycho or something.

Where are all the gun-toting ladies out there? Where are the self-respecting, God-fearing, traditional-family loving ladies? Anyone? Anyone?

Yep, times are changing.

But it's like a pendulum and it will eventually swing back to the liberal side. In the 80's we had the yuppies (or the ME generation) who were rebelling against the hippies. In the 90's we had Gen X who were rebelling against the materialism of the Yuppies. Now we have this "Gen Y" who are rebelling against the angst and disillusionment of Gen X.

I'm old enough to see have seen these swings in my lifetime and know that the only thing constant is change.
