“Why I’m a Democrat”…priceless
There’s a video that’s been floating around that features young people (supposedly college students, I think). They each state why they are a democrat. It was featured on Ace of Spades yesterday (it even inspired a top ten list) and on Moonbattery. Glenn Beck did a 10 minute segment about it on his television show. The producers have pulled it off of Vimeo probably because it was being ripped apart by people with common sense. Dave Blount of Moonbattery managed to find it somewhere else so he posted it on his website last night. Here it is…
“Why I’m a Democrat. The video.”
Hurry up and watch it before it disappears again.
Great example of young lefty parrots….they just spit out the same old sad tag lines.
I wonder if their parents are proud of them?
Did they send them off to college with these ideas?
Do they realize that they have paid upwards of $50,000 per year for their kids to be taught this garbage?
My favorite line in this video…”I’m a democrat because America is a democracy, not a theocracy”.
Wow…I’m speechless.
What are your favorite lines in this video?

What a bunch of fluffy-headed nitwits! How about, "I'm a Democrat because I'm superficial and only relate to feel-good statements and programs. I don't actually have to do anything, I just need to say pretty things." Ore maybe speaking the truth would have been an option, like saying "I'm a Democrat because I believe in punishing corporations out of existence, pitying people all over the globe, and providing entitlements that I have no way to pay for." My personal favorite line was the lovely young lady who said she's a Democrat because they came to her neighborhood to organize. Hey, little girl, want some candy? I mean, want to be a Democrat? Geez, we're in trouble as a nation if this represents anything more than a minority of our youth.
Collective intelligence of a brick… Nothing of substance. Lets pick education. The other day, it was reported that these students at a harlem high school who so valued their education practically destroyed the school, placed a used condom in a teacher's purse, and threaten teachers. Even worst, the principle was an enabler in all of this, hired cronies, and robbed teachers of any authorities. Yes, these guys who so valued all of the money to education should serve one month in this school. When they come out, give me solutions, not more talking points about more money.
Thank you for posting this. People just don't know what goes on in urban schools — and that teachers' hands are tied — even when they are personally harassed or threatened — because of administrators. Lots of teachers check demographics before they apply to a school they're unfamiliar with — over 20%? Definite tipping point. 1No way. 15% is not good. Only if absolutely necessary. Keep putting the word out.
i'm a democrat because i think hope is the stuff of dreams and i believe in keeping that hope alive.
i'm a democraaat…becuuuuz…of..the Patriot Act…?
i'm a democrat because i believe the government should take care of its citizens.
i'm a democrat because we are the party of civil rights (L.O.LLLLL!)
i'm a democrat because i believe thru government we can come together to do what we can't do individually.
i'm a democrat because i'm sick and tired of NAFTA style free trade agreements that are shipping good paying american jobs overseas.
i'm a democrat because i feel more women should be involved in politics and the democrat party is already told to do so.
some of the best from this cream of the crop….so basically, they are democrats because no one has any initiative to do what needs to be done unless Big Brother hold their hands and makes them? or they just love having a lot of fluffy feel good glittery ideas that amount to nothing? (1st guy). or, because it's OK to be on the dem side when it comes to women in the party, since being on the other side will only get you bashed, because it's NOT ok for women to be in the repub side since they weren't told to? NAFTA- HAH. that was clinton. oops. wait! i thought their guy they elected in 08 was a citizen of the world? so what's wrong with global communities within businesses and shipping jobs overseas. oh you tricky college kids giving me things to think about!
I think you hit the nail on the head when you said they have a lot of fluffy, feel-good, glittery ideas that amount to nothing. Obama got elected on fluffy, feel-good ideas (that and campaigning on the platform of "I'm not Bush") and college kids were his acolytes throughout. The kid who said the Dems are the party of civil rights obviously studied American History in public schools because he has it completely backward. Some of these kids should listen to themselves because if they really thought about it, they'd be Republicans. But the media makes it "cool" to be a Dem and "uncool" to be a lib. You have to know that these kids watch John Stewart for their news and analysis. I hear this same crap from my 20-something nephews and nieces.
Anyone know what college these kids are from?
no, i don't know what college they are from, but the one at minute mark 1:38 looks like one of my friends in kalamazoo (where Western Michigan U and Kalamazoo Valley are). and she just got done going to school for nursing in may. (long hair, glasses and HUGE bust- which i don't remember her being THAT busty- people should marry who they want girl)
"But the media makes it "cool" to be a Dem " This sentence completely sums up the problem that the Rebuplican party MUST address! Too much of the GOP is a top-down organization run by boring, pasty looking white guys (think Karl Rove). We must emphasize substance over just style but we can't ignore the fact that style does matter!
Listening to the kids inthis video, it is clear that they are operationg on pure emotions – they are Democrats because it makes them "feel" good about themselves. But "positive self esteem" without any actual results to justify the endless praise is what has produced these very kids!.
Conservatives need to figure out a way to appeal to young peopleby getting them to look forward – giving them reasons why dumping the Democrats will be better for everyone in the long run! People like Andrew Brietbart, Ben Shapiro and James O'Keefe are on the cutting edge of this movement and the dinosaur RINOs need to go! (This is why they all hate Sarah Palin, by the way. She doesn't play well with the old boys and she doesn't really care whose turn it is!)
poor kids..their brains are not fully developed yet… lol
A theocracy? You mean like a country in which Big Government (aka power-hungry , fallible people and those adept at working the monolithic system they set up) tries to control the behavior/ sin / problems of the human heart with laws, regulations, "nudges", and propaganda plus hypocritical do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do abuse by the leaders worthy of any cult? Isn't that liberalism in a nutshell?
My fave is the one about Democrats working to ensure that every child has a fair, high-quality education. Ha, ha, ha, ha, har, har, har har… hoo, boy. Still waiting for Superman on that promise (though most liberal elites aren't waiting, like the NAACP leader fighting to keep inner city kids out of charter schools and in their dropout factories, while sending his own kid to a posh boarding school) It's quite a feat to believe things like that in the face of, you know, facts and reality. Maybe these young, impressionable things will wake up, open their eyes and run smack up against reality for themselves. Let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
HIGHlarious!
Based on their statements; I bet I could ask each of those people two or three questions that would show that their statements do not hold water. They would either fold or mount the soap box of their own moral superiority (cuz they can’t fall back on any facts).
Democrats are the party of civil rights??? Pleeeeease!
"911 Please state your emergency." "Hurry! We need a history lesson and some facts!"
Great post! Once I started listing D words to describe today's Obamacrats (party formerly known as Democratic), including these self-absorbed, clueless college kids, I just couldn't help myself–Dangerous, Debauched, Decadent, Deceitful, Defective, Deficient, Defrauding, Demagogic, Demented, Deranged, Derelict, Devious, Dithering, Ditzy… This is cathartic!
Uh, you forgot Douchebag!
And once they come to their senses and realize the fruits that come from Democrat policies, add Disillusioned and Depressed to the list.
Just thought of another word for when they come to their senses – D'oh!
LOL!
I'm a democrat becuz of hopes and dreeeemz and stuff that take me away from the real world because I don't want to think about that stuff becuz it makes my branez hurt. I leave that up to the adults. Leave me to my dreeeeeemz.
And the NAFTA quote. That was pretty priceless. Bad old nasty NAFTA passed by those bad old nasty Repub- oh, wait….
I'm a Democratic because things like historical facts do not cloud my thinking.
ACTION ITEM: Any talent out there that could put together a party neutral video "I'm a Conservative because…" and then the tage line, and I VOTE
I am a Conservative because, I believe that my actions of recycing on a personal level is the best way to save our Earth, not the big government EPA with a budget of XXX Billion… and I VOTE
I am a Conservative because, when my checking account is out of money, I stop spending until my next payday… and I VOTE
I am a Conservative because, I believe a strong military is the best way to deter hostile actions against my family…. and the federal government should fund our defese, as tasked by the Constitution, and I VOTE
I am a Conservative because, I believe that any medical procedure that is performed on my minor child, I should know about…. AND I VOTE
I think you get the idea — can this be an action item? Anyone???
Great idea! I was thinking we should put out a video, and be sure to use ATTRACTIVE young people, of all ethnic persuasions, gay and straight, etc. We need to make it COOL to be conservative! Because frankly, all college kids are really interested in is appearing cool enough so they can get laid.
Mary sweetie! "You betcha!'
Let's all record our own cellphone and video cam-corder spots on why we are Conservatives and Republicans or TeaPartiers (I'm not Republican, but I am a conservative voter!) and send it to somebody to edit into a great video!
Okay, where do we send our clips?
Love this!!! Watched it with my 15 year old CONSERVATIVE son!!!!
Everyone's replies are right on point…however the sad part and thing WE MUST COMBAT is that, right or wrong, the dems currently have won the perception war. The kids believe what they are saying, even though they are so incredibly wrong.
So we have a job to do between now and election day. Working on a high-level political team a few years ago, an operative shared a glaringly wrong (or at that time unproven but assumed) "truism" about the opponent. When I said "but we don't know that, do we?" The response was: "Say it and its so. Say it loud enough, long enough and with confidence and it becomes so." We need to know our mantra, say it everywhere we go, say it with clarity and confidence and no matter what "they" say back, stay on course, and stay on message. It's what the libs & progressives have done very well–
..it is almost embarrassing the way this video can get ripped to shreds. One only hope that their icon, Dr Evil, gets stuffed badly on 2012.
Props to the Hill Buzz folks for seeing the light of day several years ago and putting up this wonderful forum. We really appreciate you.
I am a Republican because the GOP sucks way less than the Democrat Party. I am a Republican because the GOP comes closer to getting it right than the Democrat Party.
I am a Republican because I believe in a strong national defense, individual liberty and responsibility, the right of unborn children not to be murdered in the womb, low tax rates, minimal intrusion of government into the lives of its citizens, free trade and capitalism, etc.
One more: DECEPTIVE
And I'm a democrat because democrats can do whatever they want… you can run for office, twitter your junk, lie to everybody and still get a nice pension.
I'm a democrat because of the perks…. you can blame everyone for your mistakes and have lifetime use of the race card.
I'm a democrat because Abe Lincoln and Martin Luther King were democrats, and Bill Clinton and Barack Obama are black.
The only one that really seemed to me to be a democrat for a reason that's actually true is the "government should take care of the people". That IS our democrat party today.
and it's a big WOW. because, wow – why would you think someone else should take care of you (reminds me of a teenage chinese girl i was talking to – who knows the difference between her country and ours…and clearly thinks that her govt is taking care of her and it's okay).
Anyway – wow. Like – I do have friends that believe this. And I pretty much say: um, how well are they doing? and their answer is: well, they should do it better. And my answer is: how many decades do we let this go on to prove that it's not working? People don't like that answer – they have SO MUCH faith in the govt they just KNOW it will work. *sigh*
and why do i have to be moderated? i didn't use to be.
While that "manufactured set of lies" is what the Dems want to brainwash college serfs into believing, Hodding Carter III, adviser to the last one-term Democratic president (Jimmy Carter) and now a professor at the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill tells the truth:
"Youthful Obama supporters from 08 “walking around like cattle hit with a stun gun” "

You can find the vid on youtube to download and post to your facebook . . . like I did. My comment? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l58rj0tahjw
My favorite? "I'm a democrat because we're the party of civil rights." Well, he's obviously not a student of history, or he'd know it was the Democrats who tried to squash the Civil Rights bill . . . and if it weren't for Republicans it never would have passed.
And the Genius who is a democrat because America "is a democracy, not a theocracy." Wait, what???? Actually, America is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.
Me? I'm a Republican – because I believe in limited government (it's my job to take care of myself, not the government's), in lower taxes (which encourages small business growth – the backbone of this country), and a strong defense (without which there wouldn't be Republicans or Democrats because some other crazy nation would conquer us). It's not a feeling . . . it's not "hope" . . . it's ISSUES. I love this country. If the democrats don't, then find another country to live in.
i'm not a republican. i'm tired of them and they don't represent what i believe. if I had a gun to my head, well, i'd HAVE to choose the Rs, but really, I can't believe what that party has become and I'm not happy with it.
I'm not a democrat. they aren't the party of taking care of people anyway. I believe it was KENNEDY who said: ask not what your country can do for you, ask what YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY.
atlmom, I <3 you!
The Republicans who think that HB is a Republican site are off-base! HB is an AMERICAN web site! As our Founding Father said when he left the Democrat Party for the freedom of independently supporting America First (and Sarah Palin) we are free to be who we are, especially if we are not a member of an official party!
and it's a big WOW. because, wow – why would you think someone else should take care of you (reminds me of a teenage chinese girl i was talking to – who knows the difference between her country and ours…and clearly thinks that her govt is taking care of her and it's okay).
I <3 you too! I don't think of this as an R site – or I wouldn't come here!!! I sort of kind of read some of the stuff that would be considered R, but most of the time it's because someone on a site i do go to posts something for a specific article.
It's funny when I tell people to come here and they say: oh that's some R site. I find that amazingly amusing.
I'm not sure why if I believe the govt should be smaller, that I then MUST think the govt needs to be everywhere. At the same time.
Remember this one?
Dems in a nut shell.

Classic comment about this over on Hot Air.
I am a Democrat because I believe there is no difference between a judge and a janitor.
I am a Democrat because I believe there is no difference between an islamofascist and a 94-year old great-great-grandmother, with osteoporosis and mild Parkinson’s.

Hey Moron! NAFTA?!?! That was Clinton -Gore, accent on Gore!
A better script:
White Man: I am a democrat because I was so indoctrinated with white guilt as a child in public school, that I was willing to offer up women as a holocaust to atone for that guilt, during the 2008 presidential selection.
Black Man: I am a democrat because I like to be confined to a community that is based on my race ( African American community.) I also enjoy being exploited by lawyers who wihish to maka a perpetual victim out of me.
Women: I am a democrat because I am convinced that the most valuable right any women can have is a right to choose abortion as her primary sorce of birth control. And I also like being referred to a a Bitch, Cunt, Whore , Flake and the like is I get to independent or uppity.
Bridget, you have no idea how much I NEEDED this post!
I've had a horrible day of setbacks and broken test equipment at work, and schedules shot to hell, and all that rig-a-maroll. . .
The post was MOST EXCELLENT!
The comments were MOST EXCELLENT!
Comments that made my day:
"I would add "Derivative" to the list"
"What a bunch of fluffy-headed nitwits! How about, "I'm a Democrat because I'm superficial and only relate to feel-good statements and programs?"
"Collective intelligence of a brick…"
"….so basically, they are democrats because no one has any initiative to do what needs to be done unless Big Brother hold their hands and makes them?"

Thank you one and all, for resetting my happiness factor, and recalibrating my expectations with a HillBuzz perspective!
I'm a democrat because it's kewl.
Repugs are thugs.
The tea party wants corporations to not pay any taxes.
(sorry — I was reading the press conference comments on "the hill" this morning, and this is what passed as debate by the left.?
P.S> Although, must admit, it did beat another comment re: Limbaugh that said "90% of everything he says about the obama's is releated to race."
