A Step Farther

Kyle Smith writes an opinion column for the New York Post worth your time. He ties into some of the same Pew Research poll findings we posted here at COTTonLINE three days ago.

Smith takes it a step farther and predicts the young are showing signs of becoming conservatives. His conclusion has some snap:

Libertarians (snip) are forever claiming that their moment is about to arrive. They’ve never been right before, but their case is starting to look more compelling.

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. What if the Republican party starts to promote candidates who simply can’t be painted as sexually repressive, oil-crazed religious freaks?

Is he hinting at Rand Paul? Sounds like it.
