Seriously though, if Maher isn’t just exaggerating, the attitude shown by those high school kids reminds me of the Hitlerjungen, or perhaps the Communist youth? Authoritarian bastards.
Maybe so, but I would disagree with the assertion that it comes from any type of political pressure. In fact, it really is the exact opposite. When you have a generation being taught by profession known as a bastion of liberals, companies that do nothing other than figure out how to better market to that generation through mostly liberal media outlets, and they start to rebel... who are they going to rebel against? Parents that both have jobs & barely enough time for their children, or the groups trying to pound ideas into their heads? Kids are going to rebel against whoever is trying hardest to mold them, and currently, it's the media, advertisers, & educators.
Which do you think highschoolers saw more of, VOTE OR DIE! on MTV or GWB campaign commercials?
