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.

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.

the worst generation in this country's history was the Baby Boomer generation.

That would be my generation and I agree with you. (With some obvious exceptions like yours truly).

Mainstreaming drugs wrecked this generation like a nuclear bomb.

As you say, with that considered its amazing subsequent generations have come out as well as they did.

I still maintain my original point, which I have made on other occasions in more detail. You can't win the war of ideas when you abdicate the logistics of that war, when you abdicate the very field where the battle takes place. That would be (1) schools and universities, (2) news media, (3) entertainment media. All of these are mostly in the hands of our ideological opposites.

Conservatives are the true independent thinkers of whatever generation. They (we) are the real counterculture. But we do need to understand the cost of abdicating the field of battle and work to establish our own media, and take control of the education of our kids. What you may have understood as an "agist" slam was just me beating my favorite drum; to win the war of ideas we have to engage on those three levels. Schools, news media, entertainment media. Build our own if the originals are too far gone.
