You might be surprised. Civilized children invite and honor proper authority. That should be a hallmark of Republican practice, beginning with the understanding that authority originates with God and is passed down to parents, who in turn exercise the privilege of vesting authority in elected officials whose view of righteousness takes into account the best way to approach ones neighbor. Hint: You don't invite yourself onto his lawn to start digging for treasure under the pretense it is in his own best interests.

No Fester I would not be surprised. I am quite familiar with civilized children who respect authority. They are my children and despite the hormonally- induced insanity of adolescence and young adulthood they are conservative. They are not libertarian. Ron Paul’s philosophy is not conservative at heart. It is individualist to the extreme under the guise of liberty.

But the majority of the demographic in question has been raised to believe that they do not have to answer to any authority beyond their own. That is the end game of the Ayn Rand pseudo-objectivist philosophy that Paul espouses. and it is not all that different from the post-hippie, love the one you’re with, there are no absolutes, I am god mindset of the Obamabots.
