Our sons are millennials. They are disgusted with the boomer generation, and clearly see that their generation is having its future diminished. While they’re very negative on the D politicians, they’re not really any more impressed with the R side of the spectrum. I’d say they’re more libertarian in outlook than either major party. The NSA issues are huge, as is the economy and they’re fed up with any kind of war. I’m not sure how typical they are, having grown up in a D-hostile home, but from what they tell me, many of their college friends are unhappy with the economic prospects. The youth give me more hope than the majority of boomers. I don’t see them changing their politics after so many decades, no matter what evidence they’re shown.

That's great to hear about your kids. Mine and their friends are also more libertarian than Republican, but I don't think Ron Paul is any great hero among them.

... and they’re fed up with any kind of war.

These young people might just catch on to the fact that politics is "war by other means", and vice versa. The NAZIs are right here at home this time, and they will not stop until forced.

They instantly and intuitively understand what Ron Paul is saying to them.

The incessant doubletalk from both major parties just leaves them baffled and disinterested in politics.
