The Young Democrats platform for recruitment was actually quite simple. It read, “Do you hate this man?” Accompanied by an unflattering picture of…Yes, you guessed it. None other than the beloved 43rd President of The United States.
I can see it now, some uninformed freshman coed taking the very same stroll I did, looking around in a similar fashion before resting her eyes on the very same flyer. The light bulb goes on. Like, oh my God! I totally hate George Bush too! He like, lied and stuff. I should join the Young Democrats Club so that I can better express my meaningful political views.

Meaningful political views? Right, and I own a yacht and Bugatti.
Yup, it's all about brainwashing, donchaknow?
This is a whole different world than when I was a freshman in 1976. The Vietnam war was over and most people on campus could really have cared less about politics and were more into studying and partying. Even with the the disastrous Jimmuh Cahtah administration, we were much less politically active. But still impressionable college freshman today are inundated with this disgusting hatespeak not only from 'tards like the campus democrats but from the media, their professors and whack-jobs like Hanoi Cindy and Code Pinko, to mention just a few.
but, but, I thought hate wasn't a Democrat "value"?????
Most collegiate-age youngsters suffer from a slew of defects which makes them susceptible to this form of recruitment:
1. The tendency to regard as the best idea they ever heard, the LAST idea they ever heard.
2. Lack of experience in how life really works; they have not had much real responsibility (no mortgage, no kids to feed), they have yet to be disappointed by anything particularly important (like not getting a certain job, or perhaps finding out that you can't afford your dream house) and such.
3. Since many are away from home for the first time, the more shocking, the more seemingly-forbidden and taboo, the better. They gravitate towards that which titilates them.
4. In similar fashion, because they have no practical experience and because they are typically away from home for the first time (and thus guidance), they tend blindly stumble from one mistake to another. Knowledge comes hard,sometimes.
5. They are very much susceptible to being made to look dumb by their more-experienced professors and upperclassmen, who have managed to swap the appearance of learning for the actual thing. Since no one wants to be thought stupid, it's sometimes better to just join up and appear smart.
6. They have not learned the lesson that most forms of "progressive" politics are movements of the "well-intentioned but ill-informed" being led by the "well-informed but ill-intentioned".
7. While children require the opportunity to express their independance at the first opportunity, nowhere was it engraved in stone that they would always do so wisely.
8. Children away form home and placed in a new and often chaotic aand confusing atmosphere are the most susceptible to brainwashing.
9. What better place to practice covert psychiatry than on a college campus with all it's moldable minds? You will find an awful lot of psychiatrists involved in these campus movements. Your children are being manipulated by professionals.
10. There has been a tendency in America in the last 20-30 years to cease teaching things like history, civics, logic and oratory and debate. These courses have been replaced with things like "gender studies", "tolerance" and other multi-cultural subjects which advance grievances (real and perceived) in place of scholarship, and implant ideas within young minds. Ideas against which their young minds have been disarmed, not having the shields of history, civics, logic and debate to help separate the wheat from the chaff.
Wonder what kind of response you'd get if it was a picture of Osama in front of these idiots....
and this is why its not a bad idea to let the little buggers go to college for the first 2 years at a local community college, learn alittle about real life before they go off the university.
Hate, bigotry and prejudice hasn't changed much through the ages. It's just that now it has become institutionalized and socially acceptable as long as it is "politically" correct -- as dictated by the current demagogues of our times.
Hateful, petty people have always strutted around thinking themselves to be highly "sophisticated" and "liberal" people.
What, did you think that hateful, petty people go around thinking they're "hateful, petty people?"
No, they fancy themselves the saviors of mankind, themselves as their gift to humanity -- and never, that they are the hatred, bigotry, violence and prejudice in the world.
Of course they think they're superior to everybody else. That's the only way they can motivate themselves to go on with their shoddy existences -- deluding themselves into thinking they are more enlightened than everybody else -- even somebody else.
If they weren't transferring their hatred to somebody else, there'd only be themselves to loathe, despise and make fun of.
