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.

OK I got curious and had to hear what the hallelujah crowd was offering as entertainment these days for its mindless minions, I was shocked I tell you, if this is all the better they can do to replicate a popular genre of music? Then perhaps they should get a little soul , I mean it came across so flat that the early Christians would have had no problems with it, since they believed the earth was so flat and the imagery god how funny can you get, they show a prosthesis challenged woman as a nurturing female? I spit my afternoon tea all over the screen of this poor lil ole computer, these two bo*bs are as insensitive as the ones that adorn Mrs California

These idiots are GW Bush lite. This crap is warmed over GOP talking points and is not true conservatism. When the right wing of the GOP extricates itself from the christian ideology, it will once again be conservative and not until then. These children will not succeed.
