Thanks, I appreciate it. More and more coservatives are rejecting the reactionary stance of "nothing is wrong, everything is safe" and putting conservation back into conservativism. I think the 2 things that hurt conservativism the most with young people is the stance on the environment and evolution.
Personally, I don't believe in evolution but I do think that not enough rational discussion occurs about alternative views. We're letting the far religious rightists take over the discussion instead of rational conservativess pointing out the facts (Pat Robertson is an example of a far rightist). I also agree that environmental issues is a sticking point with many young people and conservatives.
The 2 things that hurt conservatism with young people is left-wing indoctrination in schools and the fact that most young people are ignorant. When they finally come around they'll see that conservatives don't want to destroy the Earth and they'll become conservatives themselves.
