That was a great Red Dawn reference.
WOOT! Yay for me and the rest of the Gen-Y'ers. Of course, according to this, I'm still a Gen Xer (1980 baby here).
I'm EXCITED for the whirlwind to sweep across this country, and may God Bless us and everyone who sees the need for change.
I think the "official" definition of Gen-X is anyone born between 1964 - 1981. Which means that both Christina Aguilera (born 1980) and Steve Carell (born 1964) are Gen-Xers.
I was born when Carter had just taken office, but Reagan's the first President I remember. I liked him even when I was too young to know a thing about politics!
They are so funny. :-)This is the next craze.
WOLVERINES!!
Man, I haven't thought about that movie in a decade. Scared the crap out of me when I was a teenager.
Actually, perhaps Mass will eventually become the conservative "Mecca" for the US. You know, the more something goes one way, the more it will swing back to the other way. Its the Sinusoidal law of history.
The University of Washingtom students who dissed Papy Boyington evidently didn't get the memo.
Future wife? Good luck, buddy. I suggest you look into one of those mail-order brides.
The subject is "2006: Turning point for young conservatives".
What on earth are you talking about?
I was originally dem in HS, mostly because I live in UT and, according to my peers, was one of those “evil, mean, calculating Nevadans” in HS (some claimed they met people like me when they went to Clark County to gamble) but I slowly started to change when I went to USU in northern UT…the professors, even up there, were horribly liberal and mean, I had acquaintances fail their exams because they talked favorably about Bush. I saw the last affirmative action bake sale at USU (they’ve pretty much banned them) and learned what Aff. Act. was. We students find new ways to ensure that we avoid classes taught by whackjobs—word of mouth, websites, blogs, etc.—something Gen X never was able to do because the internet wasn’t as big back then. I consider myself a moderate—I don’t like dems because they are pretty much commies, and I don’t like Reps (GOP) because they are backward and weird. Several people my age have said, at least around here, that if there was a conservative/moderate candidate who wasn’t annoyingly religious or trying to create a commie society, then we’d vote for them. The whole religion thing has not happened yet. There isn’t anything for evangelicals for me at church after 18, to be honest. At least one study on Millennials from Zondervan found that 40% of churched Millennials abandon church after HS. I don’t know where they get this especially religious thing from—or the fact that I’m supposed to like traditional, cold churches run by people shamed of sex, who feel I should’ve married at 20. (http://www.boundless.org/2005/articles/a0001135.cfm) (Boundless is run by Focus on the Family). Yeah, we’re more conservative, but we’re not religious. Even the Mormons are more honest in admitting they don’t retain their people after high school. I really wish evangelicals would quit assuming that sometime or later society is going to go back the 1950’s and everyone will accept the traditional church. It ain’t going to happen. Sorry guys! Oh, I am a Reagan baby. Born in ’83 graduated HS in 2001. Did not like Clinton at all. During his second presidency I really hated him. Cannot fathom why people speak ill of Reagan but lavish praise at Clinton. The latter was an idiot.
