RUSH: Kyle Smith in the New York Post, July 19th<\/a>, a couple days ago. It was posted on their website late Saturday night, ran in the Sunday paper: “Could the Next Generation of Republicans Already be Here?” And his column is bouncing off the latest results of what looks like a Pew survey for the people in the press, and it was published in The Economist magazine on July 12th. Here\u2019s how he opens the piece. Again, “Could the Next Generation of Republicans Already be Here?”<\/p>\n

In fact, you\u2019re gonna find this fascinating \u2019cause we have discussed this very thing for years on this program, the generational shift of one generation, A, finally, single generation maturing and saying, “Screw the world as it is. Screw the country as it is. We\u2019re simply not gonna live your way, Dad and Mom, we\u2019re just not going to.” This column purports to assert that we may have reached that generation. <\/p>\n

“There\u00c2\u2019s probably never been a time when humanity wasn\u00c2\u2019t collectively in a torment and uproar about what its young folk were up to.” And that\u2019s true. My parents thought the length of the Beatles\u2019 hair was one of the most counterculture things they\u2019d ever seen. Just the long mop-head hair. I said, “Hey, it looks no different than Moe on The Three Stooges.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>“Well, they\u2019re funny.” They didn\u2019t get the music. I finally said, “Mother, I\u2019m gonna play you some Beatles songs recorded by the Hollyridge Strings, and when she heard the lyrics she said it\u2019s some of the most beautiful stuff she\u2019d ever heard. The last thing it was was counterrevolutionary. Anyway it\u2019s true that every generation thinks its young people are going to the dogs. <\/p>\n

“But in contrast with our image of decadent, self-centered, pleasure-craving youth, in many ways today\u00c2\u2019s youngsters are throwbacks — spurning drugs, crime and disorder, being sexually responsible and making sound choices about education. They might be the least disaffected, least rebellious kids since the Kennedy years. And that might have surprising political implications down the road.<\/p>\n

“A July 12 Economist piece reviewed some surprising data, finding that (contrary to popular belief) teen drinking and binge drinking have fallen sharply in recent years. The percentage of high-school seniors who have ever taken alcohol, for instance, fell from 80% to 71% from 2000 to 2010. In 1980, that figure was 93%. Asked whether they\u00c2\u2019d had a drink in the last 30 days, only 41% said yes in 2010. In 2000, it was 50% and in 1980, 72%. Similarly, the teen pregnancy rate is slightly more than half what it was in the mid-1990s, and teens are waiting longer to have sex than they did then.<\/p>\n

“Violent-crime arrests for people from 10 to 24 are half what they were in 1995 (for [men]) and down 40% for [women]. Juvenile incarceration is at its lowest rate since 1975. Teen smoking peaked around 1997 and is now, at an all-time low of 17%, less than half of what it was then. (Pot use is an exception to the trend: 23% of high-school seniors regularly get high. But [the evil] weed is still less widely used than it was in the 1970s, or even in 1999…)<\/p>\n

“What\u2019s behind all these surprising numbers?” Mr. Kyle Smith, the author of this piece, writes, “I can\u2019t say, but it\u2019s hard not to notice that a decline in destructive behavior associated with peer pressure has happened at the same moment that the US became a fully wired nation.” Now, here\u2019s the point. His point is that peer pressure has reduced considerably, that it\u2019s peer pressure that causes young kids to go drink or engage in risky behavior because everybody is doing it. <\/p>\n

You do it to be cool, and you want to be a part of big clique.<\/p>\n

The big clique is doing X, so you go do X to be accepted by the big clique. Peer pressure. But peer pressure is rapidly diminishing as broadband Internet access is expanding, which means “restless youth don\u2019t have to go along with whatever the local [ne\u2019er-do-wells] are up to,” because they have their own little world with their own peers online. Now, it\u2019s not all positive, of course, but they can find their community.<\/p>\n

A lot of people lament that young people are withdrawing from life, that they\u2019re sitting around in their basements in their underwear and they\u2019re doing nothing but texting and instant messaging and e-mailing and so forth. They\u2019re not getting out and they\u2019re not meeting people. They\u2019re not meeting people. They\u2019re not getting to know social skills. They\u2019re hiding behind their phones and their pads and their TV screens and they\u2019re not doing anything. <\/p>\n

At the same time, they\u2019re not getting into any trouble. <\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t any peer pressure. They\u2019re not out engaging in destructive behavior. What they\u2019re doing is watching YouTube videos or playing video games; they\u2019re staying in and getting fat. “As a frustrated barman in England, where pubs have been closing in huge numbers, put it to The Economist, ‘Kids these days just want to live in their … own little worlds in their bedrooms watching Netflix and becoming obese.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/a>“That sounds right, but at least no one ever got pregnant from eating Cheetos,” or watching YouTube. So, anyway, the point is that the decline in destructive behavior (and it\u2019s been demonstrated by the polling data) is explained precisely by the solitary nature kids are living now with their wired status. No peer pressure, no engaging in all this behavior outsides the home.<\/p>\n

There are other problems obviously associated with this. But nevertheless, according to a Pew survey, when trying to find out where these people are politically, here\u2019s the news that\u2019s gonna require some further explanation. All of these kids withdrawing — my word, not in the story. Again, it\u2019s demonstrable here that engaging in this kind of destructive behavior is down in certain age-groups.<\/p>\n

Because there\u2019s less peer pressure because there\u2019s less activity outside the home amongst people who promote destructive behavior. So the question then became, well, how are they politically? And according to Pew, they are liberal Democrats who sound an awful lot like conservative Republicans. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: “According to a Pew survey, the ‘next-generation left\u2019 has a huge, generational disagreement with older, traditional left-liberals. Among the older liberals, for instance, 83% identify ‘circumstances\u2019 as the cause of poverty.” But the next-generation liberals, the young liberals today, “are almost evenly split on this, with 47% blaming circumstances and 42% blaming ‘lack of effort.\u2019 Fifty-six percent of the older Democrats think Wall Street does more harm than good, whereas 56% of the younger ones think the reverse,” that Wall Street does more good than harm. <\/p>\n

There is a transformation taking place here. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s still more to this, however, plus your phone calls on the other side another brief, obscene profit time-out.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: I think in this survey that I have run across here, voting Democrat is probably the most destructive behavior these young people engage in, but the point here is that they claim they\u2019re gonna vote liberal Democrat. They actually are conservative Republicans, and there are two reasons why they don\u2019t vote conservative Republican. That\u2019s where all this is leading. <\/p>\n

“Next-generation liberals tilt hugely left on social issues, and this, they say, is the reason they vote Democrat, in many cases against their stated economic beliefs. A commenter on a New York Times piece on the Pew survey ticked off a list of economic beliefs that placed him to the right of center, then concluded, ‘The Democrats hold onto us only because of the Republic[an] obsession with religion, sexual repression and environmental denial.'”<\/p>\n

So these young “Nexties,” the next generation, these young people that we\u2019ve all predicted would finally grow up and say, “Enough, we don\u2019t see the world this way, Mom and Dad.” They\u2019re rejecting old-fashioned liberalism, slowly but surely, but they\u2019re continuing to vote liberal Democrat because of what they say is the Republican obsession with religion, sexual repression, and environmental denial. <\/line><\/p>\n

Now, is there really Republican obsession with religion? Is there really Republican sexual repression, and is there really Republican environmental denial, or is it that the media has made them think that. I think the media has successfully tainted Republicans as obsessed with these things, when they are not. Let\u2019s take them one by one. <\/p>\n

The Republican obsession with religion. All right. Whenever the media start with “the Christian right, the religious right,” they create the impression that Republicans are these Victorians and that they\u2019re anti-fun and all that. The sexual repression, I\u2019m telling you, that is the War on Women. <\/p>\n

Do you remember, it was either last week or the week before, when I shared with you a conversation I had with a guy who said, “Rush, you\u2019re missing the boat on this contraception business. You\u2019re sounding like you\u2019re against sex. We don\u2019t care who pays for birth control pills. We just want women to have \u2019em \u2019cause we want the sex. And when you start running around talking about it\u2019s a personal responsibility issue, that you can\u2019t get pregnant without taking some kinda action, it sounds like you\u2019re ripping sex, and we like sex, and we don\u2019t want to vote for people or be associated with people who don\u2019t like sex. And we think you\u2019re trying to deny us having sex, when you start talking about how women ought to have to buy their own birth control pills.” You remember when I told you that? And you remember how depressed you were that these people were totally missing the boat. <\/p>\n

Birth control pills are nine bucks a month, it\u2019s the whole idea that government should be providing all this. If you want to have a birth control pill, it\u2019s not denied to you, go get it, go pay. Your access is not being denied. There\u2019s not one Republican policy against contraception. There\u2019s not one Republican policy against birth control pills or any of that. But these people think there is. The Democrats\u2019 successful War on Women has made people think that. And the other thing here is environmental denial on global warming. Now, gay marriage used to be in this mix, but this story says that that issue\u2019s run its course now. Let me read it to you. <\/p>\n

“The gay-marriage debate is winding down and may be over by 2016. Some Republicans are outflanking the Hobby Lobby decision, and making a huge step in a libertarian direction, by calling for over-the-counter birth control.”<\/p>\n

Make it available. You don\u2019t need a prescription, like Aspirin. Republicans are supporting this in order to counter this idea that they hate sex. It\u2019s a silly idea, but these kids believe it because of media. It all goes back — folks, I\u2019ve got a story, haven\u2019t gotten to it, MTV has a new series popularizing incest. I\u2019m not kidding you. It\u2019s being produced by a couple of famous gay producers, and it\u2019s popularizing incest among young people. <\/p>\n

Now, see, if you come out and oppose this, what are you? You\u2019re gonna be portrayed as an old fuddy-duddy and you\u2019re not with it, you\u2019re not hip and you\u2019re not cool. But it\u2019s the media doing this stuff is my point. Without the media, half the stuff people believe they wouldn\u2019t believe. We dealt with that in great detail last week. Environmental denial is simply — (interruption) On the incest thing? I\u2019m dead serious. Let me find the story. You don\u2019t believe me on this? Why do you not believe me? Do you think I could make this up? <\/p>\n

Snerdley, it\u2019s coming up in just a second. (interruption)<\/p>\n

Well, I tell you, MTV does. <\/p>\n

Here it is. It ran on NewsBusters<\/a>. “Step Right Up to MTV\u2019s Incest Plot.” <\/p>\n

This is how the culture gets debased and denigrated. It\u2019s not by big things. It\u2019s these kinds of little things that the media tacitly proves of. “For those who predict the coming collapse of Western Civilization, there\u2019s always MTV for proof. At this year\u2019s Television Critics Association summer tour in Hollywood, MTV put on a panel discussion for the press with the cast and creators of a forthcoming series called ‘Happyland.\u2019<\/p>\n

“The female star of the show … announced the new MTV motto: ‘Incest is hot, and we\u2019re going to have fun!\u2019 Lisa de Moraes at the Deadline Hollywood website reported the pilot episode of this ‘soapy teen comedy\u2019 — remember that: this is a show for teenagers — this show ‘exploring the underbelly of a popular theme park\u2019 includes a clip of Santos making out with the amusement park\u2019s ‘new hottie,\u2019 only to discover … he\u2019s her brother. <\/p>\n

The assembled TV critics and reporters asked the obvious questions. ‘So, why the twist — why the brother and sister making out thing? How does that relate to the other things (in the show)?\u2019 And, ‘Without getting too heavily into spoilers, where does this go after she realizes it\u2019s her brother?\u2019 We all know the answer to number one.<\/p>\n

“The incest ‘twist\u2019 is MTV digging ever deeper for their precious ‘edge\u2019 until they\u2019ve dulled the shock of every perversion. The show\u2019s creator, Ben Epstein, boosted the notion that this was like a fairy tale of the handsome prince sweeping a maiden off her feet, and he just adds the ‘MTV edge to it, and makes it all weird and crazy.\u2019 That\u2019s when Santos blurted ‘Incest is hot, and we\u2019re going to have fun!'” <\/p>\n

Hey, you think I\u2019m gonna come here and make this up? It\u2019s the same thing. Young people have this attachment. I\u2019ve told you about how my little young tech bloggers are just totally convinced we\u2019re destroying the planet. Totally. I know why they glom on to it. They can give their life meaning by trying to stop it. Their parents have come along and killed the polar bears.<\/p>\n

Their parents came along and drove all these filthy, pollution-spewing big cars and SUVs. Their parents came along and did all this rotgut stuff. But they are gonna save the planet. It\u2019s a chance to give their life meaning with a social cause and so forth — and you can join this effort while on YouTube and you can join this effort while sequestered in your basement. You\u2019re a big environmentalist!<\/p>\n

You care and so forth. They never hear that global warming is a hoax. They\u2019re never exposed to any of the media that they can access. They do not know about East Anglia University. They do not know of the e-mail hoaxes. They don\u2019t know the fake hockey stick graphs. They don\u2019t know anything. All they know is the cause and it\u2019ll give their life meaning. <\/p>\n

The incest thing, that\u2019s just designed to dull the senses. Once again, that\u2019s just… (interruption) That\u2019s just… (interruption) The female star… (interruption) The female star of the show said, “Incest is hot, and we\u2019re gonna have fun,” to the TV critics, and they were asking, “You\u2019re really gonna do this? You\u2019re gonna popularize incest?” and the actress said, “Oh, yeah! Incest is hot, and we\u2019re going to have fun.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
