What are the implications if there is an explosion of young conservatives emerging into the political fabric? Young Americans for Freedom created under Wm F. Buckley, seems to be re-emerging. YAF are chronic trouble makers. They demonstrate in the streets, confront crazed leftists, argue endlessly with totalitarian professors, write inflammatory articles, think day and night plotting for a conservative revolution. YAFers they are not nice Republicans. They are impatient. They reticule political grifters. They eventually become important political leaders. Governors, legislators and inside bureaucrats.  Sen Jeff Sessions was Alabama YAF chairman. Dana Rohrabacher Co-Chair of CAL-YAF with me. Ed Royce at CSUF. John Lewis. A Federal Judge in California. In fact, they are everywhere.  

YAF is a college intellectual equivalent of the older Tea Partiers—with firm philosophical goals. 

Jordan Marks, the fire-lighter and current ED of YAF, just opened the national YAF office near Washington DC.  What a bold and fresh beginning. 

Jordan reports that in the month December alone YAF participated in…

• As a co sponsor of the 9/11 Never Forget Coalition in NYC against Holder’s trials
• DC YAF took it to MoveOn.Org DC’s candlelight vigil for the "public" option on Dec 8
• Then went after Moon Bat Congressman Kucinich with this rally for the 9/11 "inside job" whack jobs at an anti-American rally.

Young Mr. Marks called to ask me to host new YAF student leaders from several southern California colleges. Of course. There i discovered Ryan Sorba, Kelly Steele and about a dozen serious committed young conservatives — eagerly looking to take on the left on their campuses.

Truly, the attitude was true "movement" energy. Not interested with establishment Republican methods of political maneuvering  — these guys are fighters. Just in the last few weeks CAL-YAF:

• Took aim at ACORN in San Diego
• Opened 18 new chapters this semester and sent 13 new students leaders to the Leadership Institutes Youth Leadership School.
• Students from UCLA-YAF participated in the LA Doctors for Patients TEA Party Rally.
