Interesting map. This is what happens when we let Democrats educate our kids. Its a wonder, after 12 or 16 years of miseducation, if any of them vote conservative at all.

Who was it that said:

If you're 18 and not liberal, you haven't got a heart; if you're 40 and not conservative, you haven't got a brain.

Part of capturing the youth vote is tapping into their idealism. Many of them want to "change the world," and probably many of them are completely onboard with "fundamentally changing the Unite States," without really knowing what it is they want to change.

I give them a partial pass--one, because they have not seen enough of the world to know how it works; two, our education system and popular culture does not show both sides--it shows conservatism as evil, cruel, and un-hip; and three, I was a little like that in my youth.

I'm laughing at folks pointing the finger at the Millennials like myself (I'm 27) when the worst generation in this country's history was the Baby Boomer generation. Why not focus the ire on the folks who RAISED US? The burned-out hippies who had it so good (because of their Builder parents) that they became spoiled brats.

In my opinion, it's a miracle the Millenium generation turned out as well as it did. Free access to information has helped...

But let's stop the agist bashing please.
