| In 2008, I was a 21-year old college junior and first-time voter. At the time, I had an opportunity to shake then-Sen. Barack Obama’s hand as he marched out from the student center at Georgia Tech, my college, to address a packed crowd in downtown Atlanta. Sparked by this encounter and riding the anti-Bush bandwagon, I checked my ballot box for Mr. Obama on Election Day, and optimistically began to look for the hope and change he promised. Little has improved since then, and the experience left a sour taste in my mouth toward democracy.

Comments: This is a stunning article and one that is not surprising. The leftists must be absolutely joyful that they have been successful in brainwashing students since they were knee high and now we have millions of them that believe the opposite of what we believe about our nation. Isn´t it sad that we didn´t have the internet long ago so more people could have been informed the truth about what was really going on. I for one sure didn´t. That is just one of the reasons they are so far ahead of us in achieving their malicious goals.

Josh is a young man, who made a young man´s mistake. It sounds like he knows better now.

I too came to my senses at 26, and have retained them now for more than 30 years. My idea of the Republican "big tent" has absolutely nothing to to do with tribalist nonsense like race, gender, ethnicity, age. It has to do with the individual mind and whether it can grasp the concepts of freedom and responsibility. Sounds to me as if Josh has now passed the test. I hope we can save our bashing for those who have not.

Easy #1. The young man has admitted his mistake and will be better for it. How many others who are older than him are still stuck on stooooopid ?

based on what my two college student sons tell me, college students are some of the biggest lofo voters out there. It´s so sad, considering what you would think a higher level educational environment is all about: critical thinking, the exchange of ideas... But it´s not like that.

College education lost a lot of value right about the time affirmative action started being pushed by the government and the quality of education had to be dumbed way down to compensate. The bar was already being lowered to cater to athletes but AA pushed it over the cliff. I´m wondering now when Asian families are going to figure out that they are wasting their money by sending their children to US schools when their own are probably better at this point in time.

Higher education lost its value when the federal government began passing out money hand over fist to fund anyone and everyone to go to school. Call me a jerk, but not everyone should be in a university, especially on the tax-payer´s dime.

Josh?
Now you can really make the world a better place and transform the USA ...
... inform your friends and convince them to vote right next time.
Otherwise - you haven´t learned a thing.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, Josh.

The decline of college education has resulted from political correctness trumping critical thinking, the various "Studies" programs be treated as serious curricula; how many employers are looking for graduates who majored in Chicano Studies? Grade inflation has played no small part. It used to be that the dolts would get a "gentleman´s C", now they get an A for showing up. Freshmen now are routinely enrolled in remedial programs so that they can catch up on all the stuff they didn´t learn in high school. However, if you want to spend four years swilling beer, doing drugs and bedding bimbos, college ain´t a bad place to be at all.

Josh got a clue and got serious. Don´t you read the articles? Why are people jumping all over someone who is now on our side? One person insists that Josh must convince his peers of the error of their ways. What a responsibility to put on his shoulders. It is a mission impossible. Forgive us, Josh, for our unreasonable and unrelenting insistence on flogging our own.

Give this kid a break. Most of us probably had 100 times better education than what is being dished out today. The fact that he was able to "figure it out" tells you that there is hope.

Josh was understandably confused in the Obama- McCain election. How could a new voter tell the candidates apart? Aside from the fact that one had defended his country and had decades of experience in government and military command, and the other had given up his law license, had no experience in business, made little impact in the state legislature, probably less in the Congress, and that the younger candidate´s platform was clearly and admittedly to " spread the wealth ", which requires government to take money from one citizen and give it to another, what was there to choose between them? Not like Parcheesi or Tiddlywkinks, and therefore too complex for Josh.

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad. Charles Krauthammer found it amazing that the government would make such a “huge assault on the first amendment” in trying to

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine.

Juan Williams, a liberal commentator and a Fox News Channel contributor, criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for “criminalizing journalism,” when asked about Fox’s Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen being labeled as a possible co-conspirator in a government leak investigation. “I think what you’ve got here is a situation where somehow, now, journalism has been criminalized, especially in this Rosen case,” Williams said on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “There’s just no justification for somehow making it out that a reporter, who is trying to cultivate a source, by doing so is a co-conspirator in terms

Mike Lee, R-Utah, for acting like a “dictator” by demanding that Senate Democrats promise not to raise the debt limit during conference meetings with House Republicans. “We don’t have kings anymore,” Landrieu said in response to Lee on the Senate floor this afternoon. “We don’t have dictators anymore. We don’t have people with special powers . . . not anyone in this chamber is entitled to write the budget exactly the way they want it.” Lee took to the floor to oppose moving to a budget conference between House

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
