It’s what happens when you try to cram crap down the kids’ throats.
I have always thought of it as a pendulum swinging
Every generation needs Christ. Neither the moralism of the Pharisees or the libertine lifestyle of the Romans will fulfill man’s longing for peace.
I am pleased to hear a generation is moving back toward a conservative point of view. They will be blasted with an education system that will attempt to change their hearts, minds and souls.
Let’s pray for them.
Only 14 and 15 year olds were surveyed, meaning they haven’t been indoctrinated yet.
Growing Up :)
Hopefully, having lost faith in our government and institutions, they can find another kind of faith - in God.
Who in turn gave us Generation X, who's accomplishments include being more sex and drug crazed and having on their business resumes, the ability to draw Aeon Flux and Germaine Endez naked in art class and win every SNES game. (BTW I actually got a resume from a GENXer who listed drawing nude cartoon characters as an accomplishment *FACE PALM!*) and later on gave us the next batch of excrement, the MILLENNIALS! AKA: The feel good do it, generation!
Okay, so many of the new generation want traditional marriage, no tranny bathroom privileges, no pot, no crack and no taxes. But they're materialistic, they have no moral foundations and supports!
Charlton Heston said the same thing about my generation (MILLENNIALS) God love him but he was damn wrong. I am willing to bet this next batch is gonna be far, far worse. I mean how many people did they poll? Where were they polled!?
I'm sorry but I have no hope for Gen Z outside of a holy ghost inspired revival taking place in the next two years.
In the U.S. at least, these kids also had an early exposure to the Stalinist reality of the left in Michelle Obama’s universally detested school lunch menus. That early inoculation will likely bear incredible fruits as these kids grow to adulthood.
Rebel against authority!
When Authority is leftist, that can mean only one thing. Well, a couple of things. Actually, lots of things. I’m so confused.
What? The homolenials aren’t the final solution to humanity’s woes? They are supposed to be da best, and everyone else should just stfu, including gen z.
The kids rebel and adapt. Later, they temper their behavior but they are always influenced by the excesses of the past, like multiculturalism instead of cultural integration, race shaming, abortion profiteering and the artificial, political, lightening speed acceptance of gay marriage.
That's not extreme conservatism. Hell, most liberals were like that only a decade ago.
I am in my mid 50s. I would certainly like to see a swing towards a national conservatism before I close my eyes for good.
If it were up to me I’d say voting age is 30, and I am not that old myself.
Until then, most young people are still finding their ground. Wings they’ve got. Landing gear, not so much.
I spend a lot of time with college students. The ignorance would make your eyes burn. But if there is one imperative for nearly all of them it’s that they must be against their elders somehow — and political-cultural differences are so easy to handle. Blather, rinse, repeat. If there’s room for a second imperative, that’s for parroting whatever gets them the social connection (i.e., “hook up”) they desire.
These people should not be voting.
WW II generation who voted FDR 3 times? I hope Generation Y is better then that. Quite frankly, I find generation X the most conservative generation in history. We just haven’t run the country yet, but the states are and you see the states turning conservative who have a Gen X governor. I am gen X for transparency.
My wife and I taught our sons about right and wrong, they were taught how to respect and use firearms, they played sports and learned fairplay and teamwork, they had jobs and knew the value of a dollar, and they were raised to know Jesus and his sacrifice.
We didn’t mention if it was conservative or liberal.
My youngest took a test for civics class in school that was supposed to measure how conservative or liberal they were. He was pretty surprised when most of his classmates were liberal and he came out as strong conservative. I told him he’s been surrounded by it his whole life.
The most conservative group to come along in a long time, the so-called Alt-Right, Pepe the Frog, 4-Chan Trollmasters, are mostly kids. They are immune to charges of racism.
These are kids that have grown up with zero tolerance. They have observed first hand the tyranny of the self-righteous leftists who are neither tolerant or open minded.
When have we ever had extreme conservatism?
