Conservatives are stuck in a perpetual outrage loop. The reappearance of Todd Akin, the horror-movie villain immortality of Sarah Palin, the unseemly celebration of the Hobby Lobby decision these all speak to a chorus of "la-la-la-can't-hear-you" loud enough to drown out the voice of an entire generation. Late last week, the Reason Foundation released the results of a poll about that generation, the millennials; its signature finding was the confirmation of a mass abandonment of social conservatism and the GOP. This comes at a time when the conservative movement is increasingly synonymous with mean-spirited, prank-like and combative activism and self-important grand gestures. The millennial generation has repeatedly defined itself as the most socially tolerant of the modern era, but one thing it really can't stand is drama.

The Manchester Guardian makes the Nation and MSNBC look like Free Republic.
I know, I was just curious as to what you guys may have to say about this article.
This is not news. We hated the first. They’re late...

These leftists are living in some phantom zone universe aren’t they?

I find this very ironic. They’re the Me, Me, Me generation. Their god (Obama) is the drama queen creating all the drama.
Bullcrap
Its hilarious to hear Conservatives accused of agitprop and everything else the Left is not only famous for, but actually is organized and has time to do. Conservatives are working and taking care of their families and duties. We don’t have time to take a week off and sit in tent cities, to be bused across the nation to protest, or to sit and hold signs and make a ruccus. We don’t have paid protestors...
The accusations are just laughable.
Alarm clocks, jobs, talking on the phone, eye contact, talking to people in person, expectations of them, etc.
More like the MSM and leftist comedians (Letterman, Jon Stewart, etc.) have fooled young people into thinking Rats are ‘cool’ when, in fact, voting for them will keep the economy in shambles.
In other words most of the elements associated with obtaining and retaining gainful employment...
Pfft!
The twisted world of the left raises its ugly dread.
Shake in your boots mate, November the 6th is coming.
And demographic war is being waged by the US government against the people.
Lets see if the media can disguise the situation.
The youngest generation has been that way for what, the last 2000 years or more?
So are the chicken hawks in GOP.
Chicken hawks are delusional. America is bankrupt by any standards of Accounting practices. $17.6 TRILLION in official debt, and one hundred Trillion in UNFUNDED liabilities to Medicare, Social Security and others, America is now beyond bankrupt nation.
Super powers can only exist on economic superior foundation. Like USA was in the 1950s & 60s, and 80s (thanks to Reagan). Every super power of past 5000 year recorded history of world met its demise by engaging in foreign military adventures with a bankrupt treasury.
But all the chicken hawks care about is the MIC, on the backs of our children & grand children.
Wake up to reality and smell the coffee. All our efforts should be on strengthening the domestic economy and pay off the debt. We need foreign military adventures like a hole in the head at this period in history.
Why are we the source of the Drama? Obama is the bully demanding we do things for him that have never in the history of this nation been acceptable to anyone but the hard left.
When Congress predictability fails to agree to every inch of his uncompromising demands Obama throws a fit and decided hes above the law.
Anyone who knows anything about the Federal Constitutional structure of our republic knows Congress is designed NOT to work on controversial and uncompromising issues. For a President to rely upon congress to do something highly controversial is madness on the president’s part. Just like expecting a pot to freeze on your stove.
That is just not what theses bodies are for!
“The youngest generation has been that way for what, the last 2000 years or more?”
The millennials are entering their 30’s we should be seeing a lot more of them turning conservative. But i suppose being without a job hurts.
Still we should not ignore the fact that we have an out reach problem in this and every other area of our public relations. Simply put their getting their news from leftist like John Steward, so what do you expect them to believe?
“socially tolerant of the modern era, but one thing it really cant stand is drama.”????
Might I direct you to Tumblr, the epicenter of millennial “thought” and “culture”?
Careful. Their threshold for NSFW is way higher than sane people.
Or if you prefer, a YouTubber known as the Internet Aristocrat did a fine series of videos detailing some of the insane, intolerant, and drama queen behavior of the place.
