This kid is probably lowing's wet dream! Jonathon Krohn is a home-schooled 14 year old child from Atlanta, Georgia. I worry for the right-wing if 14 year old boys are defining conservatism! When a child with no life experience (not even the social experience of mixed schooling) believes he is some sort of moral compass for society he becomes a living example of the dangers of 'parent propaganda'. This kid has no life experience, how can he possibly claim to know anything significant about conservatism versus liberalism if he has been raised in a conservative household and never exposed himself to liberalism? He is simply a mouthpiece for his parent's political views.

Perhaps this "child genius" should take some of Churchill's advice... "If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain".
Maybe, he's read tons of books and formulated his own opinion.  What scares me more is the PETA and Gorebal warming bullshit coming into schools and poisioning our children's minds.

I have to agree with this little $hit, at least in part.

His critique of the Republican party is 100% right on but it applies to both political parties. The number one rule for a political party is never hurt the party. Politicians seek power to the expense of everything else, including the nation and the people. Instead they actively redefine what is in the national or public interest in order to justify their own sociopathic/psychopathic lusts for power.

I would disagree with the kid that the fact that three Republicans voted against the stiumulus bill is a sign of a return to conservative roots instead that fact goes to support his premise about power seeking behavior. The lack of support by the Republicans in a time of economic crisis is a function of power seeking behavior and jockeying for position in the next election cycle.

Finally, the Republicans will never be a party of principle if they keep trying to marry conservative principles to the socialist "social conservative" ideas. Those two ideas are mutually exclusive and gives the Republican party a schizophrenic personality that cheeses off progressive conservatives who would be the true base of the Republican party.

All parents "brainwash" their children with their viewpoints/beliefs.  Why would I let someone else take primary influence until they are old enough to decide for themselves?  I find it interesting that folks start howling about parents brainwashing their kids when they disagree with the viewpoint/beliefs of the parents ... otherwise *crickets*.

funny you think that.  he has the white house feuding with him at a time when the LAST thing they should be doing is paying attention to talk radio....which is making him a ratings superstar.

But it's working well for Obama too. He now has a face to an enemy that people aren't too fond of already. He could play the republicans are holding us back card. Rush and Obama are both being smart and using each other for their own gains. Rush ratings and Obama political strength. Everytime Rush says something crazy his rating go up Obama responds with calm and gets point for being civil and responding to attacks.

to you, but to a huge amount of weak liberal it shows strength the party has been lacking in the past. For moderate independents he can use it as a "look at them try to derail me and the rest of the country". To a few conservatives it shows he has a backbone something a few of them worried he didn't.

if people see obama responding to a talk radio host instead of worrying about the real issues as a positive thing, then they need some electro shock ASAP

he aint handling both.  wall street has no confidence in his plan, and the poll numbers make no sense.  not surprised they are contradictory considering the amount of dopes that voted for this change.

Wall street has no confidence in anyone but themselves really. Polls are going to be all over the place considering how many variables can be put into the equation.

No kidding.  Obama's change=fail.  In less than two months, he's all ready put the market in the crapper,  spent our Grandkids's money,  broken numerous campaign promises (transparency, appointees, etc.), offered up our missile defense, tried to walk through a window in the White House, face-smacked Marine 1...  I could keep going on, but my beer is empty.

I've heard his approval rating at this time in office is all ready lower than Bush's at the same given time.

But hey, it's Obama.

You can make that claim if and only if Obama agrees to the debate proposed by Rush.

Obama isn't part of the same party that just apologized to Rush.  If you wanna see dysfunction, observe the hilarity between Rush and Steele.

Steele has said that he had not intention of attacking Rush, and that Rush is an important voice and his friend. He also said that he was recognizing what people say about Rush's remarks and was responding to that.
