Hell hath no fury like a former liberal woman.
I may be only 30, but I still consider myself a part of that young adult crowd. I know, just call me Dina Lohan.
Anydesperatetobeayoungermodel, Rasmussen polled Americans about whether they believe capitalism or socialism to be better. (via HotAir)
For the answers among the young adult crowd, well, after reading this I was shocked. Then I remembered this was also a generation that was willing to vote for a candidate because of his American-Idol-style “inspiration” versus researching the guy’s actual voting record and history of na-nah-nah-na-”I Won!”-partisanship. Who can be bothered with common sense, when you’re a part of the soul patrol – Woooohooo, Soul Patrol!
Adults under 30 are essentially evenly divided: 37% prefer capitalism, 33% socialism, and 30% are undecided. Thirty-somethings are a bit more supportive of the free-enterprise approach with 49% for capitalism and 26% for socialism. Adults over 40 strongly favor capitalism, and just 13% of those older Americans believe socialism is better…
33% PREFER Socialism?!?!?? Fucking. Embarrassing.
Honestly, do my fellow young adults even know what socialism is? Umm, no. And the reason I know this is because I see this stupidity on a daily basis on Facebook. How very 2009! Anytrend, it’s a real shame these young voters do not understand that socialism is also the ideology of the world’s misunderstood humanitarians (rolls eyes) – the Nazi Party. And let’s not forget Soviet Russia – what, because these people didn’t live through it then it’s okay for them to have forgotten all about it. Umm, open up a history book, biyatches! I know people will argue that Communism is not Socialism, but let’s be real the two are like kissing cousins – denying relations in public, but each other’s biggest fans when nobody’s looking.
It’s like young adults in this country just see socialism as the teach-the-world-to-sing philosophy. Geez, that’s an ad campaign slogan, not a realistic solution to providing economic opportunity and growth. Cue quote from my dad when encountering the types of oblivious idiots – “What. A. Bunch. Of. Nerds!”
They don’t see the reality of reduced inefficiency in programs, massive tax burdens, lowered economic freedoms/opportunities and the lovely bread lines (aka liberls’ ready-to-mingle singles mixer hosted by President “Spread The Wealth” Obama). They are convinced (by the biased liberal media & fake news programs *cough*Daily Show *cough*) that socialism is a “togetherness, strong help the weak” policy. But in reality socialism is not everybody is united in wealth, and instead is all of us under a cloud of oppressive policies that keep more people in the poorhouse than under a capitalistic economy.
Hopefully these people will wake up and not wait until the massive tax burden, but I don’t know if their Hope ‘n Change, kool-aid stupors will be wearing off anytime soon.
The ranting and raving of a woman formally brainwashed under the liberal agenda. Through investigation, commentary and sarcasm about government, this woman is breaking free of the hypocritical liberal party that tries to manipulate women into believing only they can represent women’s rights. Get informed, get free, get Un-Liberaled! This blog does not endorse any particular candidate or party - although if I did, I most likely wouldn’t endorse a liberal candidate. For instance, Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) or as I like to call her Smancy Pelotox would not get my vote. Comprende? Good. Hope you enjoy the rants! :)

The stats in this article scare me to death. It is appaling that young Americans believe in the socialistic approach to issues. Products of the “newsbite” age and growing up needing instant gratification; symbolism is seemingly more important to them than substance.
The founders of our Constitution were generations ahead of some of the “thinkers” of today.
While I agree that Mr. Obama has little experience and is displaying his naivete for the world to see; members of the Soul Patrol did more research into the background of Mr. Hicks than the citizenry did with regard to Mr. Obama.

A wise man (I forget who) once said (and I paraphrase): Communism and gun control are unique in that they’re always judged by their promises rather than actual results.
Of course, that’s probably the result of lefty control of the media and the universities.

You are all more of the arrogant American population that Obama apologized to France on behalf of. You should thank him for apologizing and groveling to Europe for you.
Screw you Barack! And screw Europe.

“members of the Soul Patrol did more research into the background of Mr. Hicks than the citizenry did with regard to Mr. Obama.” hahahaha – ain’t that the trufff!
“Communism and gun control are unique in that they’re always judged by their promises rather than actual results.” – oooh! I’m totally using that one in a debate on Facebook!
