They're hot, they're fun, they're feisty.
And they have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
Somebody wrote an article in the Time a year ago about a conservative movement at my university (which I found funny because my universaity was already rather conservative, but thats the Times - generalizations = facts). They interviewd a bunch of moderately attractive kids who were blathering about Reagan and Buckley. The kids were making all sorts of comments about economic policy and global politics which were culled almost verbatim from [insert Heritage Foundation publication here]. I recall thinking "This is why you should stick to chasing tail and getting twisted in college. You have absolutely no business discussing anything of substance because you know nothing." I used to lament never doing anything but feeding my self gratification monster through college. But when I read the shiite these kids puked up as though they were experts, I was glad the only movement I got anywhere near in college was one done above a toilet bowl.
If you're an arch conservative in college, you've really missed the point, and the fun, of the exercise...
