Well, well, well. It seems that the young whippersnappers who were awestruck and starry-eyed whenever they saw their false messiah speak in 2008, to the point that some of them were (supposedly) fainting just from hearing or seeing the anointed one speak at campaign events, have become disillusioned with their phony man/God.
Who’da thunk it? Those of us here. That’s who.
Like all the other false messiahs the world has known, Obama turned out to be far more sizzle than substance, far more flush than flash, far more hype than hope, and definitely not the solution, but rather the problem, to solving our country’s problems.
The young people who helped propel Obama from a basically unknown back-bencher, do-nothing, junior senator from Illinois, a man who’s only real “job” in his whole life was being a community organizer in Chicago, to an almost cult-like messianic figure, were, for the most part, 18-22 year old college students who were mesmerized at the sight of their false messiah, and were mostly first-time voters.
Their inexperience and gullibility to the realities of life in the real world are understandable. No one ever learned how the real world works from living on a college campus. That’s why so many supposedly “intelligent” liberal professors are so ignorant.
But now that a lot of them have graduated from college and still cannot find a decent job that they studied for, they’re not happy.
Welcome to the real world, kiddies! Oh, and I’ll take a large order of fries with that Big Mac, graduate boy.
On a kind of unrelated topic, here’s some free advice: Get a degree in something that’s useful in the real world. So, for instance, do not get your degree in Latin. Since you majored in a language that isn’t spoken anymore, you’re going to limit your employment opportunities to one of two jobs:
Your first choice will be as a Sandwich Artist at your “Subway”, and your second, and most lucrative job, will be as a Barista at Starbucks, where you can impress other idiot liberals who pay eight bucks for a cup of joe that you can say Cappuccino and Espresso in an ancient language no one speaks or understands.
Take this as a lesson and learn from it. If you continue to believe the lies of liberals, you’ll have a lifetime full of disappointment and hopelessness. And you’ll be miserable and nasty. All liberals are, for some reason. But it doesn’t have to be that way! You have a choice!
So, to you yoots out there, if you wise up and decide you’ve had enough lies and disappointment from the left, and decide to come out of the darkness and into the light, over to the Republican side, you’ll see a world of opportunity. A place where anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it, regardless of your skin color or prior economic status.
The other side, the dumocrat’s “dark” side, will do all it can to convince you that you don’t stand a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding without the help of an all-powerful federal government, run by liberals of course, to supposedly “even the playing field” so you at least have a minute chance of succeeding, but only if they can get those evil rich people to pay their “fair share”, even though the “rich” already pay the vast majority of the taxes.
As for the supposed adults who bought into Obama’s bullshit hook, line, and sinker; if they’re still supporting Obama, they’re both clueless and hopeless. And I won’t even get into what I think about the Obama-worshipping mainstream media swine that gets tingles up their legs when they hear the Marxist speak.
A Romney first: over 40% of youth vote back him
or the first time since he began running for president, Republican Mitt Romney has the support of over 40 percent of America’s youth vote, a troubling sign for President Obama who built his 2008 victory with the overwhelming support of younger, idealistic voters.
Pollster John Zogby of JZ Analytics told Secrets Tuesday that Romney received 41 percent in his weekend poll of 1,117 likely voters, for the first time crossing the 40 percent mark. What’s more, he said that Romney is the only Republican of those who competed in the primaries to score so high among 18-29 year olds.
“This is the first time I am seeing Romney’s numbers this high among 18-29 year olds,” said Zogby. “This could be trouble for Obama who needs every young voter he can get.”
Zogby helped Secrets dig deeper into his weekend poll, which we reported on earlier. The poll had Romney and Obama tied at 46 percent.
Zogby has been especially interested in the youth vote this election. In 2008, 66 percent chose Obama over Sen. John McCain,the highest percentage for a Democrat in three decades. But their desire for hope and change has turned to disillusionment and unemployment. Zogby calls them “CENGAs” for “college-educated, not going anywhere.”
In his latest poll, Obama receives just 49 percent of the youth vote when pitted against Romney, who received 41 percent. In another question, the independent candidacy of Gary Johnson is included, and here Obama wins 50 percent, Romney 38 percent and Johnson 5 percent.
But while taking Johnson out of the equation in the past has seen a surge in support for Obama, now the numbers for Romney–and undecideds–increase.
Zogby speculates that Romney’s selection of 42-year-old Rep. Paul Ryan helped turn more younger voters to him. “It could be his youthfulness,” said Zogby of Ryan. Plus, he said, more younger voters are becoming libertarian, distrustful of current elected officials and worried that they are going to get stuck with the nation’s looming fiscal bill.
“They want change,” said Zogby.

Here’s one group that loves him, and probably the very definition of a vacuous voting block that should be ignored, and I mean completely.
Not all DJ’s are morons of course, only those who believe that their job is more than supplying enjoyable music for a gathering of people who wish to hear musing without the hassle of having to stay on top of the music playing equipment themselves, commercials, and such. When someone tells me that DJ’s are about Celebration, Inspiration, and Motivation, I develop an eye tic.
This is the quality of Obama’s supporters today.
@ Flyovercountry:
Rodan: Didn’t you say you DJ’d when you lived in NYC?
@ Flyovercountry:
Conservatives should set up DJ’s for Romney/Ryan.
@ Macker:
Yes 91-96.
I guess they hope Romney will help change their jobless status.
@ Flyovercountry:

@ Rodan:
Hey Rodan the average little one on the street ….told you Barack didn’t have the youth vote this time.
/but again I will say I will not *sigh* a breathe of relief until he is voted out completely.
@ Macker:
Please note my disclaimer on the bottom!
I would never, and I repeat ever, join a group which called itself Financial Planners for so and so. Why, you may ask. Because my faith in my ability to deliver my political views does not depend upon my chosen profession, nor do they need to be loaned any extra gravitas based on some outside source.
In the years since I have been reading Rodan’s commentary, which I am not quite sure, but I believe it goes back at least 5 or so, I have not once heard him couch his beliefs in some outside source of gravitas, ie., geniuses or actors or DJ’s for so and so. I really do not want to piss off anybody and please do not help me on the way to a fight, I can get into trouble all on my own.
The entire, “you should listen to me because I’m a,” argument really drives me crazy. That’s not to say that people don’t have specific areas of knowledge which they develop to a greater degree than the population at large, but it really is infrequent that those specific areas of knowledge translate into an expertise that should be given premium consideration in a national political discussion. One of the most egregious groups of people in this regard are the folks in the entertainment industry.
With that being said, DJ’s really are a group that exemplifies the entrepreneurial spirit of America, and once this group of dolts experience the consequences of Obama’s vision for America, my guess is that they’d change their tune right quick.
@ Rodan:
Please see my number 8.
Now, now, there’s nothing wrong with a degree in Latin, especially if combined with some other major. Medical terms are still all derived from Latin, even for new diseases. Somebody knowledgeable in Latin has to formulate new Latin names for things.
Combined with a degree in history, Latin could be very useful, if not essential, for studying Classical history.
Latin has been a respected offering at universities since, well, Roman times. Wasn’t that long ago that high-schoolers had a year or more of compulsory Latin. And a knowledge of Latin definitely gives you a leg up on studying all other European languages, English included, which borrowed heavily from Latin. The very terminology we use to describe English grammar was developed by Latin scholars.
Now, a degree in Womyns’ Studies, or Transgendered Eskimo Poetry; those might indeed be worthless in the marketplace.

The Left live in the Eternal Present. Neither the future nor the past hold any reality for them. Thus the notion that this past July was “the hottest one on record” seems plausible, since the dust bowl years of the 1930s are before their personal memory, so therefore do not exist in reality.
Likewise, the notion that babies aborted in this year will not be on the voter rolls in 2030 slips right by them, because 2030 is impossibly far in the future.

As is everybody’s. The only point I was trying to make, and I am not sure if it is being received, loaded on the cold medications that I have been ingesting since Thursday, is that when someone feels the need to use a profession for the purposes of bolstering a political point, they are arguing from a position of weakness. That professional entertainers are especially egregious with this particular practice, ie., be convinced by my star power, even if my actual point is deficient.
@ brookly red:
No, because the image of the GOP was a bunch of angry old grouches. With Paul Ryan, the GOP now appears modern and cool. I know alot of 20 year olds and I saw the change first hand.
