I guess this means my social security is safe afterall. I would have bet just about anything that social security would go broke just about the time I'm ready to collect. But with liberal sapps like this coming up behind me, looks like I have nothing to worry about.

It's so easy to be liberal when you don't work for a living. If your heros are idiot celebs instead of real-life heros, you will have a warped view of life.

Darn right. Did anyone else notice that the Pew Research chart above points out that the "Most Republican" age is 36?

Report: Generation Next more confident, more tolerant and more Democratic
Xer Ping Ping list for the discussion of the politics and social (and sometimes nostalgic) aspects that directly effects Generation Reagan / Generation-X (Those born from 1965-1981) including all the spending previous generations are doing that Gen-X and Y will end up paying for.

I have noticed this as well. Most 25-27 year olds and younger are very left, anti-Bush, anti-business, anti-Liberty and anti-gun.

This is scary!
This says that there is a huge preponderance of Democrats!

I am.
I'm also for getting rid of the 13th Amend and the IRS. Period.
BTW, I'm 37.

hey, I was a liberal at 20 because I was a child and now I'm a conservative, because I'm a man.

Young people aren't naturally stupid. It takes years of schooling to get that way.

Observing the phenomenon, Winston Churchill remarked: "Any man who is under 30 and is not a liberal has no heart; and any man who is over 30 and is not a conservative has no brains." So though young adults may be leaning toward the Democrats today, chances are most will come to their senses in due time. The youth in Churchill's era were different. They were adults-in-training.
The younger generation I see today is horribly stunted. And they definitely ARE dumber than a bag of rocks.
Without the spiritual, moral, or intellectual tools to combat terrorism, I think these people are in a dangerous state of free fall.

Generation Next signed up in record numbers after 9/11. They believed we were going to fight the war on terror in the same way we fought WWII. Now that they've seen this as Vietnam, part two, their enthusiasm has turned to distrust. Seeing our soldiers pilloried for doing what needs to be done to the enemy, I can't blame them for not wanting to guard mosques from opposing bands of Islamofascists.
We lost the Baby Boom generation over Vietnam, we are losing Generation Next over Iraq.

They've been preprogrammed by their radical parents, then fine tuned by all the radicals in the government schools.

Fascinating. The Silents (e.g. my parents' generation) lean Right, the first 2/3 to 3/4 of Boomers lean Left, then of course trailing edge Boomers and Gen X / Gen Reagan lean hard Right. Then, then young pierced whipper snappers are chips off the old Boomer / commie block.
