Young Cons Anthem: Conservatives Their Beliefs Through Rapping (VIDEO)

HuffPost's Jason Linkins included this astonishing video in his Scritti Politti roundup yesterday, but we felt it deserved its own post. "The Young Cons" are apparently some conservatives from Dartmouth College who think a good way to spread their beliefs is through rapping, specifically with their "Young Con Anthem."

Lest you think this is a parody, I direct you to their website, where they lay out their goals in a lengthy mission statement hailing "Ronald Reagan, Martin Luther King Jr., and arguably Jesus [as] the flag-bearers of the true conservative movement."

The "official" lyrics to the Young Cons Anthem can be found here. Watch the video below.

Did these two yuppies shoot this video in a classroom? Lol.

[getalong]

Epic fail.

[SteveDenver]

Seconded

[Ellyllon]

That sums it up perfectly, yes.

[Robert59]

I certainly hope after graduation they enter the military. Heck, why wait until graduation? They should prove their loyalty and join now.
Armchair patriots make me puke..............

[edwarvir]

HELP1 THEY NEED HELP. LOL

[militarymomforobama]

Dear God. That is so embarrassing.

[mbaty]

The Ann Raynd reference came out of nowhere. Are Christians into that now?

[Ellyllon]

I guess it has something to do with her feelings about money. They don't care about the 'atheist' part. It's all - oh, no! Socialism! Help, help!

[lefty joymonger]

It's called Corporate Christianity. Corporate Christians are the Pharisees of the 21stC and they are the starkest demonstration of the term "blasphemy" in the purest, non religious sense of the word.

[Sportsbabe]

Amen Lefty :-)

[Blurp]

These Fox News parrots rap that their idols are both Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ayn Rand?!?! God help us.

[Ellyllon]

MLK, Jr, Jesus, & Miss California.

[Sportsbabe]

Yes Blurp, hillarious. MLK fought for black rights and respectability. He didn't steal from them. Now the cons are trying to take rap/hip hop as their own. Get the heck outta here. How can you claim the most bigoted party politics and then jock our swag??

[Tommygun264]

I... wow. I mean... just, wow.

[mavissue]

YIKE........ AMAZING THAT THEY USE RAP TO GET THEIR " message" OUT.

THEY ARE A REAL HOOT

[timberdoodle]

These guys make as much sense as the leaders of the RNC you know Rush, Newt and Cheney.

If they use too much intellectual language and reasoning the rest of the GOP wouldn't be able to comprehend what they were talking about.

[Tzimisce]

...OUCH...

[akindependent]

What hath Michael Steele wrought?

[THOSinVA]

Look. Two white guys.

[BoyInBOYCOTT]

they're guys?

I thought it was the new cool republican DRAG KINGS

color me disappointed

[minusjason]

Truly bad rapping here...

[kwinter]

Touting xianity and Ayn Rand?

Does anyone else see the humor in that?

[Hirnlego]

certainly..

[kwinter]

Ah, I knew I could count on you, Hirnlego!

[Ellyllon]

If the Marquis de Sade had spoken against 'Socialism,' (aka, taxes going to help the masses rather than into Halliburton's pocket), I expect he'd be a right wing hero. (and maybe he did - note to Cheney & co!)
