Obama Takes Michelle Out For a Date and Us For a Ride

by Burt Prelutsky

The other day, I received an e-mail from a lady who let me know she was in the habit of forwarding my articles to her daughter who’s away at college.  Apparently, she felt I could provide the young woman with an antidote to her left-wing professors.  I wished her luck, but I didn’t hold out much hope.  After all, by this time, the young coed has been immersed in public education for 13 or 14 years.  Let a child be raised by wolves and you shouldn’t be too surprised if, upon being rescued, his table manners leave something to be desired. 

I’m not engaging in hyperbole when I say that I’d sooner send a youngster to Florida during hurricane season than to most colleges.  As I see it, he or she has a very good chance of surviving the hurricanes.  Their hair might get mussed, but at least their brains wouldn’t be scrambled.

Frankly, I’m surprised that there are any young conservatives left in America.  They deserve to be on the list of endangered species.  Considering the amount of pressure they face from peers and professors, I am in awe of those with the gumption to stand their ground.  If the nation’s Founding Fathers came back to life, I believe they’d recognize them as the progeny of those Americans they last saw hurling tea into Boston Harbor, fighting at Lexington and freezing at Valley Forge.  (more…)
