WE LIKE DANCING, AND WE LOOK DIVINE:

Rebels with a Cause (Doug Giles, March 5, 2005, Townhall)

[T]he ideological make-up of the 21st century young rebel in the classroom, who would be conducting the sit-ins, organizing the fasts and the peaceful protests, who would be fighting against convention and the cogs of the system, would be a young person who:

1. is pro-traditional family,
2. is pro-abstinence ‘til married,
3. is pro-heterosexuality and who thinks it is okay to not think it’s okay to be gay,
4. is opposed to anti-intellectualism,
5. doesn’t get so fat that he could hide small toys between his blubber,
6. is for protecting the life of the unborn,
7. owns a gun, loves to shoot and hunts animals,
8. is pro-God, goes to worship service every week and studies the Bible no matter what his “friends” say,
9. believes that faith has a space in the market place,
1o. supports the War on Terror,
11. thinks that Iraq and Afghanistan are better off than ever before,
12. thinks America is a fundamentally good nation,
13. believes moral relativism is an immoral croc which has gotten us into societal deep weeds.
14. doesn’t do drugs or abuse alcohol but rather gets high on life.

Young person: if this is what you believe and live, and if you dare to speak and defend this in the classroom and if you have the nerve to bring this up while at a party, then you, my friend, are A REBEL. This is what today’s young high school- and college-Rosa-Park-radicals will look like. They will be conservative, God-honoring students who will be society’s new shockers.

Of course, he's just described anti-intellectualism.
