The biggest phenomenon in American politics throughout the past two years has been the growth of the Tea Party movement. Concerned citizens nationwide band together at rallies to express their dissatisfaction with out-of-control government spending and misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Last weekend, more than 3,000 people gathered at the Tea Party Patriots American Policy Summit in Phoenix to hear speakers ranging from Rep. Ron Paul to Gov. Tim Pawlenty and to take part in breakout sessions about activism.

The average Tea Party member  is over 50, but a large number of students attended the Summit and the 1st National Tea Party Students Conference. The student conference was organized by Daniel Oliver, founder of Tea Party Students.

"It was exciting having the students learn from some of the top conservative groups in America on how to grow their organizations and utilize new media to effectively promote their Tea Party groups," said Oliver, who served as a Leadership Institute Field Representative in 2010.

For some, allowing guns on campus seems about as smart as fighting a flood with a garden hose. A thousand what-if scenarios of students with guns seem to paint a vivid argument against guns on campus. However, these what-ifs boil down to nothing more than emotional arguments that don't match reality. We must not only ask "what if?" but also "what is?"

Stubbornly high unemployment -- nearly 15% for those ages 20-24 -- has made finding a job nearly impossible. And without a job, there's nowhere for these young adults to go but back to their old bedrooms, curfews and chore charts. Meet the boomerangers.
