Maybe in your neck of the woods, but remember that most of these people had MTV and tons of liberalism shoved down their throats. I do agree that we tend to be more conservative than our parents, but there is a ton of GenXers that bought the liberal brainwash.
True.....however, what amazes me is how little the liberal influences have stopped the conservative tide.
This may just be a generational thing and the next generation will be liberal, but I am not so sure.
