Our take on Ayn Rand, Jesus and MLK

Saturday, May 30, 2009

Here’s what Stiltz & Serious C think:

Stirring up much debate is the verse in the Young Con Anthem:

“Three thing taught me conservative love,

Jesus, Ronald Reagan plus Atlas Shrugged”

This comment is similar to other responses we've received from the video. Yes, we know that Ayn Rand was an atheist, however, she preached the power of the individual and personal responsibility just as Jesus and Martin Luther King Jr. We do not agree with the religious beliefs of Ayn Rand and we do not intend to force our beliefs on anyone. We also do not imply that all conservatives are Christians. Our music is merely a way for us to express our unique, conservative message.

I understand why you believe Jesus' values to be liberal.. "he was weak on defense (turn the other cheek), big on social programs (give to the poor), harsh on the wealthy (nearly impossible for the rich man to enter heaven), soft on punishment (he who is without sin, cast the first stone), and pro-taxes (render unto Caesar what is his)" 1

However, Jesus does not ask government to make these commitments. Rather, he requests each individual... to choose out of their free will, from their heart, and because they want to... give up the possessions which they have and "follow Him." The message we receive from Jesus is that people should “give up” their possessions. He did not claim that government institutions should force people to give their possessions. 1

I hope this helps explain our point of view. We feel as though there is a difference between socialistic policies forcing people to give... and, on the other hand, charitable works. Studies show the immense charitable giving of Conservatives. We are probably just like a lot of young Americans... we want to succeed... we want other people to succeed.. we want to "follow Him."

Similarly, Martin Luther King Jr. preached just as our Founding Fathers.. "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." In our point of view, he emphasized the importance of personal freedom and the civic responsibility of each person. The Montgomery Bus Boycott is a great example to show his faith in the power of the individual. Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to unite all Americans and "put aside their differences." These values he preached are the core of conservatism. As conservatives... we are trying to unite youth in political discussion with hopes of influencing the direction of our country. 2

Official Lyrics to

Young Con Anthem

Serious C:

“Yo this ones for all the young conservatives.

I rep the Northeast and I’m still a young con,

Let your voice release, you don't have to be obamatrons.

I debate any poser who don't shoot straight,

Government spending needs to deflate,

Your ideas are lightweight,

Ya careers in checkmate

I frustrate. I increase the pulse rate

I hate when,

government dictatin, makin, statements, bout how to be a merchant,

How to run a restaurant, how to lay the pavement

Bailout a business, but can't protect an infant

Deficiencies are blatant, young con treatment

I stand one man, outnumbered at my college

Thank you Miss Cali for reminding us of marriage

Can't support abortion, and call yourself a Christian

I support life, you're a puzzled politician

Terrorists were imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay,

Now they're in our neighborhoods, planning out doomsday

No such thing as utopia,

no government can control ya, baby ya,

Reap the benefits hard work, self reliant

Listen to Stiltz, my dude’s a lyrical giant

Yo Stiltz... make it two time... please”

Stiltz:

“I'm 6'9 head and shoulder above the rest

Liberals playin checkers, I'm playin chess

My conservative view is drill baby drill

You can say you hate me but

I'm praying for you still

My dislike for thee most def is not hyperbole

Taxes are the subject and I will spit them verbally

I'm just livin life a conservative philosophy

Sorry Hilary not a right wing conspiracy

We need more women with intellectual integrity

I'm talkin Megyn Kelly not Nancy Pelosi

My main motto is you best work hard

It's not the hand you were given, but how you lay down your cards

I don't speak lies but I spit the facts

28% the new capital gains tax

Porkulus bill lacks a few stats

The more money we spend, the more mine is worth Jack

The Bible says we're a people under God,

Usin radar for radical Jihad

AIG was hooked up by Chris Dodd

A classy gift ain't an Ipod

The standards of my crew ain’t republicans dude

I'm reppin Jesus Christ and conservative views

Study history and true conservative moves

Every single time they refuse to lose

I’m starting to see a modern day Jimmy Carter

When really nothin but a Reagan era starter”

Serious C:

“Yo, We americans son

Hit ya with some knowledge

The movement has begun

Everyone can succeed

Because our soldiers bleed, for us

I said it in the verse,

now I'll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:

“We young conservatives son

Hard work is our motto

The movement has begun

EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily

My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”

Serious C:

“Phase me, make me, into something that ain’t me

Serious c... can’t nobody shake me

great like the Gatsby, poppin posers like acne

Don't matter if your gay, straight, Christian or Muslim

There's one thing we all hate, called socialism.

It's loathsome, and America ain’t the outcome,

Raise taxes on the people,

And you’re gonna feel symptoms, problems

I gotta message for a young con:

superman that socialism,

waterboard that terrorism”

Stiltz:

“I fulfill the role that's inherently mine

Teaching politics through my rap and my rhyme

I'm signing off this track with a question in mind

How will this country get its precious change in time?

Three things taught me conservative love:

Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged

Saving our nation from inflation devastation

On my hands and my knees praying for salvation”

Serious C:

“Yo, We americans son

Hit ya with some knowledge

The movement has begun

Everyone can succeed

Because our soldiers bleed, for us

I said it in the verse,

Now I'll say it in the chorus”

Stiltz:

“We young conservatives son

Hard work is our motto

The movement has begun

EVERYONE can succeed cause our soldiers bleed, daily

My views are rock solid, no chance you can break me”

Out in the field, not liking command reports.

EDIT: Oh, I get it... is this supposed to be funnier when white guys do it? Mammy. Advice: Find some mild drugs (Xanax, pot, weird Chinese tea, whatever) and DO them.

Apparently this thing is taking off.

‘Young Conservative Anthem’ Causes Internet Buzz

By Tatiana Cooke

Uwire

June 01, 2009

From the article:

A conservative rap video which claims to reflect true conservative values is quickly becoming a cult success and going viral.

"The Young Con Anthem," created by two Dartmouth students, has received more than 90,000 views and has made it to The Huffington Post, USA Today and a variety of blogs across the political spectrum.

What's funny is that the real names of the performers sound better than the stage names.

"Rufful and Riddle" sounds kinda cool...

Maybe this will all result in us actually locating the Holy Grail: A black Objectivist.

No, no self-respecting brother could get through listening to that thing. :)

Right now I would settle for an O'Biwan type of half black!

Adam

Post Script: Seriously, of all the members active on this forum, how many of you know any black objectivists?

How about black C4L folks Gulch?

I knew, in all my years about 8-9 black objectivists. I knew more black conservatives by a factor of 100 than objectivists.

Young Con Anthem Reax

Posted: 01 Jun 2009 04:47 AM PDT

Dartmouth freshman Tatiana Cooke reports on the reaction to the video by her classmates Josh Riddle and David Rufful that we posted here and wrote about again over the weekend. In "'Young Con Anthem' causes buzz," Tatiana quotes the head of the College Democrats asserting that the video "tragically exposes the completely irreconcilable views of modern day neoconservatism." Tatiana also quotes my somewhat more transparent comments on the video to her yesterday afternoon.

PAUL adds: "tragically exposes the completely irreconcilable views of modern day neoconservatism"?! Have ten words ever been so poorly used together?

You sweat, you toil on your art.

Then, inevitably, a couple of douchebags like these trot out something and ooooooohhh!!! Controversy!

I have pretty good videos of my dog playing with a sock. Maybe I should write a score and pin it on.
