I live in Georgia. We’re inundated with conservative talk in Georgia.… The speech was something that a 13-year-old does. You haven’t formed all your opinions. You’re really defeating yourself if you think you have all of your ideas in your head when you were 12 or 13. It’s impossible. You haven’t done enough.

Yeah, and I remember that hard-hitting piece that Politico did on brainwashed 13 year-olds in the liberal SF Bay area.

Oh, wait. No, I don't. They never did one.

That would be my guess as well.

In any case, the words of a 13-year-old, no matter how bright he or she happens to be, should be taken as just that.. a bunch of words. Because their “opinions” can change upon the sight of the next shiny piece of bling, teenlets should be patted on the head, smiled upon, and thanked for playing.

That totally reminds me of that very short-lived TV show from CBS, Kid Nation. Season 2 was canceled, ostensibly due to "child labor laws." That is funny.

What was not funny is the basic premise, and the proof, as things progressed, that immaturity is real and pervasive, all encompassing and independent of chronological age. The liberal promoters of the show panicked.

I recorded all episodes because I could not believe my eyes when the show was first announced. Surely, some insanity was involved in creating the concept. The one factor never mentioned in the demise of the show, was the alarming similarity in the behavior of actual children, and the current Democrat party. That probably left a mark!

I'm sick and tired of all the attention paid to kids' opinions. This one is no different. Conservatives are so desperate for approval, we will elevate some snot-nosed skull-full-of-mush to celebrity status.

I remember when the Buffalo schools implemented some change to the dress code and the local media went out and interviewed students to get their opinions. And then reported, with a straight face, the little beggars' displeasure as if we should care.

So when did CPAC turn conservative?

Don’t know about conservatives, but CPAC doesn’t seem to have any.

This kid makes me cringe. I’ve never seen the speech, but now i’ll take a look at it and see what I think about it. but i’d like to say this: I was a conservative when i was 7, I’m a conservative now, probably even stronger of one now. This numbskull will eventually change (let’s hope) again. I’m sick and tired of the move towards normalizing the decadence that is homosexuality. does anyone have any idea how to combat this?
