A good sign: younger people recognizing the limits of federal authority. The question is, can and do they conduct themselves as good citizens, contributing to the high moral fabric that is required of a civil country where individual liberty can be enjoyed along with the responsibilities those liberties entail.

“A good sign”?

Young people recognizing an America in retreat against its sworn enemies

[ncalburt]

Storm troopers attacking his political rivals wife and children !
Yes Paul nutters are some else its called radical leftists and GOP haters !

[Psalm 144]

I agree. They should be informed and encouraged. The big news is that many of them reject the Democrat machine.

Yes, they can--and do. Most of the heavy lifting (literally) in the oil patch is done at the behest of us old farts, but by younger backs.

They're also concerned that the future will bring little real reward for their labors if things keep going the way they are. I know I wouldn't want to be in my early twenties looking at the way things are going to crap.

The ones around here who aren't making oilfield wages are struggling to make the rent (2K a month for a two-bedroom apt), often working two jobs to make ends meet. They've had a taste of inflationary economics, and they aren't looking forward to being taxed witless to pay for those who won't bust their butts.

They recognize the current model is unsustainable, that it has to be cut back.

Funny how working for what you have sharpens your sense of responsibility.
