1. Somebody please confirm my suspicions about this...

Jill Sobule posted this on Facebook, but I don't have the guts to sit through it. Can somebody with a stronger stomach than me please confirm my suspicion that this rap contains the phrase "My name is <name>, and I'm here to say..."?

6. Pretty damn close.

My favorite line is where the tall dumb ass says something about three things taught him to be a conservative "Jesus Christ, Ronald Reagan, and Atlas Shrugged". Apparently, the Young Cons are ignorant of the fact that Jesus and Atlas Shrugged had directly opposing messages. They also probably don't know that Ayn Rand was an outspoken atheist.

7. It's worth sitting through...

Really. It's worth it :-)

Must see TeeVee!

3. Apparently "cons" in French means "idiot" or "asshole".

4. They really don't get it do they?

God, I hope they never figure it out.

5. It's like I said before.

Obviously, nothing will attract the young folks to the conservative message quite like a couple of rappers with all the street cred of Vanilla Ice.
