Uncle John calls ’em Millennial Orphans, springing from fractured homes and forming their own “families.” Some came from big money, and walked away. Virtually all have some college, and many graduated. They were force-fed the educational establishment’s progressive propaganda-pap until they puked — too smart to become good little automatons. For many, the big awakening came about 2009.
“Our teachers and professors had hammered us with America is evil, defy authority, capitalism kills and crap like that,” Lead Dog said. “Then all of a sudden it was don’t question authority; obey the government; embrace the collective. Don’t think, just obey. That’s when we started teaching ourselves.”
They discovered new heroes, the real revolutionaries — our founding fathers — and fell deeply in love with some neglected, derided old documents: the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution; the Bill of Rights. And they saw how far we’ve drifted from them.

Contagious, indeed. And firearms are the gateway drug of liberty.

An excellent article and an even better message. Thanks Miguel.
What Six said. The way.
Got a kid entering college, hoping he helps spread the message!
The pop culture revealed it’s true leftist colors in 2008. For the 8 years of Pres. GWB, the message from Pop music, Hollywood, and all the cool kids was: Bush is evil, America is evil, question authority, dissent is the highest form of patriotism, etc.
Then Obama gets sworn in, and without so much as a deep breath, the message from the same people was: Obey Obama and dissent is the highest form of racism.
I think changing gears that fast gave a lot of young people whiplash.
So, when a Republican is elected President we can have bumper stickers that say, “Dissent is patriotic again!”
