When someone asks what my daughter does for a living my answer with a big smile is, "She's a stay-at-home-mom and I'm so proud of her!"
Children absorb the values of their parents... liberals abort, conservatives don't. Thus children are disproportionately born to conservative families, and absorb conservative values at a higher rate than the older generation.
I have finally met all of this generation that is currently related to me and am happy to say this country will be in very good hands. They all have lots more sense than I had at the same age, and tend to be Christian and Conservative..
I see this even in NYC, much to the dismay of some liberal parents.

I'm a female boomer who has always worked, so it still surprises me when I meet young married men who are thrilled to live more simply so that their wife can stay home with the children. It seems that there are more and more young couples making this choice today, and I'm so glad to see it. Maybe the public education system will finally be able to spend some time on education and not have responsibility for all the failings of society and the family foisted upon them.

A friend of mine is a HS teacher and he said the kids are becoming more conservative each year.
It makes me feel good that inspite of all the cultural and social adversity this generation has faced, they have such good sense and maturity, I'm astounded!
Bingo. It is survival of the fittest, and liberals are unfit. Since contraception and abortion became widely available, since shacking up and casual sex became permissable, the wicked and foolish in our culture have rushed off to destruction- taking their genes with them.
In a few generations, the righteous will be dominant. Consider two groups. The larger group is a bunch of boomer libertines who manage to have 1.5 children per couple. The smaller group is a bunch of Christian home-school types whose families average 6 children each (I know one with 15 children, and they are under 40!!!).
Even if the former group outnumbers the latter group 50 to 1 the latter group will still be numerically dominant in three generations.
The math, assuming a starting ratio of 1,000 libertines to only 20 christians, is 422 libertines and 540 Christians in three generations. It's about 1600 Christains to 340 Libertines in the following generation.
In prior generations, when no one had birth control or could have 50 different sex partners because they lived in a small village, the wicked and the righteous multiplied at close to the same rate. Not so in modern times.
Liberalism, like all wickedness, is ultimately self-defeating. We don't have to beat them, we just have to defend ourselves and our culture during this desperate time and they will destroythemslves.
I grew up in the 70's. My parents were divorced, went through many step parents. I made a promise that one day I would be married and stay married to the same person and all my children would have the same father. I am just glad that so many people of my generation wanted the same thing and seem to have made it. I'm celebrating my 15th year of marriage. It can be done and it is worth doing for your children, for society.

More evidence:
The Youth Group at our Church has increased it's rolls (and roles)!
The kids' wondrous works and fun activities are enriching. They share meaningful discussions on the big issues and decisions teens are facing. When surrounded by peers who are also trying to do the right thing, peer pressure can be a good thing.
The friendships they form with "Youth Groupies" are based in trust and respect. It's now becoming cool to be "with Jesus" as they say.
To parents of teens: Urge your kids to get involved with a faith-based youth group. The positive influence in my household is a joyous blessing.
I believe this to be true, evidenced in my stepson and his friends. In his case, entreprenurial is an understatement.

i wonder how many more homeschoolers are of voting age since the 2000 election... wouldn't it be something if there were enough to give us an even greater edge?
Good news bump.
