I would hope that at 20, you realize you don't know shit, and your parents probably know a hell of a lot more than you.
 
 This, however, is rarely the case.

My father remains a moderate republican which of course is why I voted for a moderate independent candidate in my first election.

If you're 20 and still think your parents know everything, then you are correct - you don't know shit.

I'm not sure that using Sum 41 as your punk example makes your point any stronger.  Though, for comedic value, I did laugh out loud.
 
 And secondly, I'm not sure that saying you've gone from "from as liberal as anyone" to a Republican because of the Bush Administrations Foreign Policy decisions, truly makes you a conservative.  The vast majority of conservative rhetoric has its roots in domestic agendas, not foreign policy.  I think he should probably call his web site punks for the invasion of Iraq rather than conservative punk.  Or, he should post more thoughts on the conservatives doemstic agenda that he agrees with or wants others to be aware of.  This election is about more than the invasion of Iraq.  Single issue politics is bad for the nation.

I  have several friends under 30 who are Republicans.  they all had thier college tuition paid for them, and were probably the kids in high school that got the new Dr. Martens bought for them at the beginning of every school year.

My first thought on seeing this article this morning was that this dude isn't very bright.  I think Mr. Segal is using the article to slyly poke fun at Mr. Rizzuto (and conservative punks) more than anything else.

I think I've seen that guy at the Black Cat

being 21 and with the heightened importance of this election among kids my age, i must say that all those i know who are republicans are simply just reiterating the opinions of their ignorant parents...its true democrats have to for their own opinions....republicans are so fucking bullheaded too, nothing can change their minds, and in the cases of people my age, of course they think their parents are right, thus, the republicans know best and blablablahhhh.

[nkotb]

But what seperates republicans who are "reiterating the opinions of their ignorant parents" from Democrats that are thinking for themselves?  Seems to me, as relatively independant, that both sides spew their respective propaganda at any chance they get.  I mean, what makes you know more than a Republican?  I have yet to see any Democrats change their minds.  Why is that not just as pigheaded?

thats true, but at this stage in the race, it has to be like that, i mean we are in the middle of an election...as far as the four years in between, it seems a lot more a possiblity of democrats willing to accept other opinions and perhaps even change their own, rather than republicans....if kerry wins, most republicans will hate it and sulk, rather than just simply support our president...and dont get me wrong i myself am an independent.

Apparently NKOTBIE didn't get the memo:
 
 Republicans = Bad; Fascist; Censorship; Automatons; Cross-burning; Goose-stepping; bullheaded.
 
 Democrats = Good; Free-thinkers; Puppy dogs; Sun-filled fields of waving amber grains.

[thirsty moore]

So let me get this straight.  If Kerry wins, then Republicans will moan and sulk.  If Bush wins, then Democrats will dance in the streets and change their morals.
