The Marxist dope-smokers of the Woodstock Generation will be apoplectic if they can ever sober up from the reefer madness permeating their campus ivory towers.
Last spring I helped a College Republican club set up an affirmative action bake sale at Cal State San Bernardino and the faculty didn't know what hit them.
Change is coming...but there will be lots of sound and fury as the modern day liberal beast utters its last dying gasp.
Pearl Harbor toughened up one generation.
9-11 and realizing some nutburgers riot over cartoons is toughening up this generation.
He's a great kid.
They had better toughen up...there is a hard rain a comin'
They are gonna need every ounce of faith God will grant them..
My nephews got the word...one a freshman in college (and ROTC) and the other a Jr in High School...they are toughening up and are of this same new social and fiscal conservative mind set...
God bless 'em and give them strength and wisdom...
My daughter and her friends are very conservative. They love to skewer liberals with factual counter-arguments. Their opponents have never had their views challenged and become deer in headlights.
Bottom line: Their leaders are arrogant idiots. Let's hope they find the truth by going to the only source that can give it to them -- God's Word.
The Regan Babies, the Rush Babies all have a seminal event in their lives.......9/11.
This generation with need to be strong...Islamofascism is marching..
From a young boomer:
God bless Ronald Reagan and the Y-Gens. They are the new blood at a time of need for a major turnover at the centers of education. We need them to ensure the longevity of this country through solid values, common sense, and a belief in God.
I know the student body on my campus definately seems to lean conservative...
The largest facebook group is called "George Bush is my homeboy" =P
Yep I have to agree with you there.
However, and there is always that isn't there :)
I doubt that young conservatives are learning real lessons from the present administration what with spend until you drop and let someone else out it out attitude.
If they think that the "grow the government and spend like a drunken sailor" is the conservative way, god help us all.

Great article. I'll be starting college next year, and I look forward to being able to help stem the tide of liberalism in academia...
I was born in 1975 and the activity of the younger conservatives gives me hope when I get down about where the movement is going.
My brother fought in Iraq, not Vietnam. Libs really need to get out of the 1960's....
Oh but you should share his optimism. My oldest just graduated college and she's fairly conservative. My youngest just started college. Oh gosh is she ever conservative. She truly is a Rush and Reagan baby. She grew up listening to Rush in the afternoons. He really taught her how to reason and not to believe what the media spoon feeds you. Not only that, both are now forwarding links to me in emails from Free Reoublic. That's my kids.
I discovered what a hippie was in the 6th grade. I correctly tagged the teachers I didn't like as annoying brainless flower-child freaks, though I had not yet learned the word "liberal".
South Park is real-world. The beauty of the show is that no matter how raunchy and wrong the kids are -- the leftist adults are far more revolting on every level (morally, behaviorally, common sensibly, etc).
From another younger Boomer . . . Go get 'em and God Bless you!
Our sons are just 10 and 12, but so far they're shaping up as good kids, and so are their friends. I'm encouraged by what I see among youngsters and young parents these days. Times are changing.
Yo! *was born June 22, 1982*
Mr. Holland indeed has had his final opus. He ain't coming back!
I attend a more-or-less conservative college, and hence most of my friends could be quantified as conservatives of different sorts, though we run the gamlut from libertarian to party-line Republicans to eccletic unquantifiable. Except for some of the party-line sorts, I doubt any of my conservative peers approach the Bush Administration without ample criticism; there is no lack of divergent thought- though we don't really have many who could be put in the left side of the spectrum. Attempts to establish a Young Democrat's organization have failed rather consistently over the years, for some reason...
