Agreed on the kids.
I was pretty pleasantly surprised at the beginning of our war on terrorism that most of my students understood the issues and supported the war and our president. However, on this gay "marriage" issue, I only have a small percentage of strongly Christian students who find anything wrong with the issue. Even students from more moderately Christian homes think this gay union stuff is right. And of course, most of the students have no set of core values at all and they think it's great! They view my opinions on the issue as either old-fashioned or right-wing Christian. Not opinions they place any value on. It's a tough one. Its gotta change or like you said, their generation will not guard our foundational values.

That's scary how many students that age feel that way. I hope something can be done about that.

Lke I said, "gay marriage" is just one front on the war against America. It's serious in and of itself, but it's also a trial run at a coup, just like the nazis came to power without (significant) violence.
All the words of the Constitution would remain the same, but there would be general agreement that things are done exactly the opposite of what the Constitution says. "Checks and balances" would break down totally, because all the surviving parties would agree behind closed doors on how to proceed. On paper, both the nazi and the soviet constitutions sounded like noble documents. But everyone knew they were just window dressing for like-minded people who would rule as they damn well pleased.
