I was enjoying the “tips” until I read this rant straight from the DNC.

PLEEZ!! You sound like a total idiot.

I’m 56 going on 10, and was thrilled to find this website. I’m always looking for ways to become more immature! I’m still going to buy the book, but I was really disappointed in this stereotype of Republicans. I hope this will find its way OFF the list. Not only is it unfair, it’s, well, old! And it targets people who probably love this blog. I’m an Independent married for 25 years to a very sexy Republican, a wonderful, loving man, the son of Holocaust survivors. I like to think I brought fun and nonsense into his life. I taught him to love the Three Stooges! Please let’s all let go of our stereotypes and treat each other as individuals and really listen to one another — it keeps you young!

I was enjoying this also until i read this, i am really tired of the progressive liberals, they are a very, very, very dangerous group. Look at who our President is surrounding himself in the White House.

i would prefer to keep federal government small and allow people to govern themselves, not a groupof elitists who think that we can not think for ourselves.

I would prefer to keep our nation’s sovereignty and our states sovereignty, allow them to each be individual and unique.

I would prefer to be able to be the best individuals that we can be rather than live under socialist government entitlements, and unions, or the slogan WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!

The old Soviet Party’s logan, now SEIU leader Andy Stearn, who is a frequent visitor of the White House and has had great input on legislation going through our House and Senate.

There is moment in our country that has distorted the truth and history, Democrats were against civil rights, Republicans fought for them and push it through. Martin Luther King was a Republican. Democrats were against women voting. Democrats suppress individualism and promote fascism and socialism.

Study your history and learn from the facts not what people are telling you. Why are our young wearing T-shirts of Revoluntionary Mass Murderers such as Che’, Mao, Chavez, and their like?

Are they being prepared for a Revoluntionary Holocaust? Question everything but always seek the truth.

Read the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence and the Federalist Papers, learn our history and and learn the true story of our founding fathers, we are a very special nation, very lucky nation to have had such a great engineers to keep us free from elitists and tyranny, but there is a undercurrent that has been working to take all of this away over the decades. Looks like it is working from reading this comment.

Keep in mind: “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” – Edward R. Murrow

Stay informed and vigilante or you could loose your freedoms. Today we are going through very scary times.

Belonging to (or aligning yourself with) a political party is old.

Guess we now know who can’t take a joke (and if that isn’t old, nothing is). Anyway, old is thinking the dems are destroying the country, when it was really the fault of the repubs before them…oh, and the dems before them…oh, and the repubs before them…oh, and the dems before them, etc. The two major parties have a lock on the system, and the oligarchs own both. The young will realize this after they inherit the whole fubar system (and after they see what happens to change they can believe in…).

Angry political comments aimed at completely well-meaning people are OLD. Being so thinned skinned about a little humor you may disagree with is really OLD. Young people don’t get all bent out of shape if another person has a different idea of politics. And making stupid threats at people you don’t know is even older and nasty. Young people don’t base their entire self worth on party affiliation.

Old – like listening to Bruce Springsteen or being nostalgic for the 60′s – is about political conformity. Youth has long been enchanted with “doing your own thing” as long as it’s exactly like what everyone else is doing (some things never change). I sense less of that today than in the past. There is no one politics of youth today – rather an uncomfortable balance between “mooching” and “carving a new trail” (again, some things never change).

Actually, I think party politics of this generation is going to be, at best, mercurial. In YOUR generation the Democrats have always been the “cool” kids, but do you really think your kids are just like you? I think you’re projecting here. They like Obama/Democrats now, but next time around? Don’t count on it. The cycle is much faster, what looked deft and new in 2008 could be deeply ancient by 2012, let alone 2016.

Going with the group to look cool is not only foolish, but REALLY OLD! I don’t care who you voted for as long as you have a damn good reason for why you voted that way.
