To give the article some credit (some, not much) there is a natural historical cycle of conservatism and liberalism that cycles about every 15-25 years or so. If you trace back as far as colonial times you'll see periods of progress followed by periods of regression. For example, in the 19th century, the age of the robber baron was followed by many reforms in the early 20th century (income taxes, food and drug laws, etc).
Of course, to say that some youth are conservative is one of those Sherlock comments (as in, "No shit, Sherlock"). I don't see how it's really newsworthy.
