ShoCon: Far Right Kids Have Trouble

Shoshone Conservative (RE: Poll: Parents w/daughters only lean Republican): You know, I've noticed that quite a few "far right" (even by my standards) people I know have had their children turn out to be highly dysfunctional adults: Drug addiction, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, suicides - the works. Listening to them, they seem to be quite sincere in their beliefs and values, and, yet, have done a terrible job passing said values to their own children. I've always wondered why, actually. Of course, this isn't the case for all people on the "far right", or even a majority, but enough to make one wonder.

Question: Do you think children of Far Right parents generally turn out any better/worse than anyone else's kids?
