The Bush adminsistration has violated every precept of fiscal conservatism. They have also violated every precept of the the US constitution and the bill of rights. Young conservatives do, and will despise, this corrupt, treasonous administration - if for no other reason than they cannot obtain decent paying jobs with which to pay the completely-unpayable national debt - because of the policies which have already destroyed this nation. The monster-government has crippled the economy - and caused many prospective entreprenuers to not even consider trying any longer.
As a Reagan Baby (I'll turn 18 later this year), it's nice to hear that I'm not nearly as alone in my views as I sometimes feel!
I think this is good news for our country - more God-fearing conservatives in prominent places will, hopefully, bring about something of a return to the original values of our founding fathers: Life, Love, Liberty and the right to pursue happiness. (Excuse my paraphrasing - need to re-read the Constitution! :))
While this certainly doesn't mean all of us Reagan-era children are, will be, or shall remain God-fearing conservatives.. I'd rather be optimistic and pray that more of us -will- be, rather than the oposite. After all, it won't hurt much more than the liberals' pride and values (if they have any) with more of us around, and hopefully it could only get better!

Good to hear it. As I get older (I'm only yikes 39) and I cringe sometimes when young conservatives think that the spending today is normal and good. I remind them that eventually the bill comes due and we all get hit.
Dawning realization is usually the response.
Good luck to ya.
Nah, young people have something the Boomers still lack to this day - common sense and maturity.
I started that facebook group at my college and it is pretty popular too.
Well that is a bit harsh, this administration has done it's best after being dealt a very bad hand. However I agree that they have done alot that goes against every conservative bone in my body.
While I hope they hold the house this year, I truly want to see a close one, to slap them upside of the head.
You know you've got problems when the Dems start to sound fiscally responsible.
Thats good to hear.. :)
Bush is my Homeboy
This group has 3062 members at MS State.
Interesting read. TY for posting.
What is a 'facebook group' and an 'affirmative action bake sale'?
Good news on the horizon?
Fiscally tax cuts are good, spending is bad. The administration has gotten half of it right.
Constitutionally, conservative judges good, mediocre judges bad. Except for Meirs, good.
Listening to foreign phone conversations good, Campaign finance reform bad.
Alien criminal invasion of our borders, lets not go there.
Iraq war good and getting better.
We'll get better at it with each successive country, Iran, Syria, North Korea.
Minorities advancing into our ownership society, and high profile govt. posts. good.
So overall The Bush Administration is a 50/50 proposition, at worst. They have done more good than harm.
I wish the same could be said of the last past three Democrat administrations. As bad as Carter was, LBJ, was worse, because he was effective in implementing the most damaging programs, which today bloat our federal spending.
However his friends (well, from the high school years) are more what I would call empty conservatives. If you ask them, they will usually give you a conservative answer. But they have no depth, no idea why. That goes in both political and religious areas. It's scary because they could be led astray in a heartbeat.
I agree. How many potential democRats have been aborted who would be voting today?
Millions.
an interesting observation. the subject of reagan came up the other day in class and the kids who were overwhelmingly positive about him...SHOCKED that anyone thought badly of him.
interesting how those things shift, you know.
XLurk was banned. Guess he/she was deemed to much of an "angry conservative".
I disagree that the Bush administration has done more good than harm.
If it were not for the war in Iraq just how angry would true conservatives be with President Bush? In my opinion, the country would have gone Kerry in '04 and 'Rat in '06.
Bush is not a conservative and Bush has done nothing for true conservatism except milk the war in Iraq and the "war on terror" for all he can get. His tax cuts are still in the air ... and his two nominees to the SCOTUS were good calls ... but it's too soon to tell how they will actually vote on important issues.
Did you see Dreyfus on Hannity last night?....showed him giving a speech to journalists I believe....saying Pres. Bush should be impeached.....Dreyfus = Doofus....
