The Young Cons, "reppin? Jesus Christ and conservative views" with rap music and business suits

[Ambi]

I'd like to see them in the same room as Immortal Technique. Yeah, I can't think of anything witty to say about these guys, just, they suck. Rap is known for obnoxious douchebaggery, but this is... weird. Also, what's with the little dancing guy?

I found them from this article:

Any thoughts?

"I wanna ranch like Reagan and a 50 inch plasma, we can spend the money, this is freedom that I'm after"

Conservatives understand that Jesus promoted charitable giving from the individual and not a secular, spiritless task of government. "Not one place in the Bible did Jesus advocate it was the function of government to do what loving human beings ought to do on their own.? Jesus advocated for individuals to give from his or her personal resources and not to force others through taxation."1
In America today, conservatives stand with Martin Luther King Jr. and the Founding Fathers in our belief that ?all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights that among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.? King?s dream was founded in our individual liberty, which conservatives strive to protect and liberals seek to destroy. King believed in the ?power and necessity of faith-based association and self-government based on absolute truth and moral law.?2 He said that just laws adhere to a fixed moral law that does not blur the line between right and wrong. Conservatives place this idea at the core of our philosophy, while liberals dedicate their endeavors to silencing religion and morality.2

So they're saying the government should enforce faith-based "absolute moral law" on the population, except for the part about helping the poor, because people should be free to act upon religious convictions without it being enforced by the government because it would make it a spiritless task...

Yes. Yes they are.

Damn, one might mistake this for a liberal video making fun of conservatives it's so weird. For the first one the tunes all right but it goes on waaaaay too long without much changing, the singers are pretty sucky and that weird robot effect thing they've got on the voices is just annoying. Strangest thing I've seen all day.

Honestly, I hate rap music anyway, so I have no idea if they are good or not. And I can tell I don't agree with their political views, but how much and how douchbaggery they are, I don't know, since I couldn't stand listening ten seconds of that crap.

But messing religion with politics (if that's what they do)is generally an extremely bad idea for all concerned...

Yeah, that is some of the worst rap I've ever heard. Not too crazy about the message either -- I'm hearing nothing but neocon drivel, no Christian message at all. Overall, entertaining in the same way as Tommy Wiseau's The Room.

Edit: Oh god. I just listened to the first one -- or rather, I tried to. When the second guy comes in, he's so far off key that it's physically painful for me. They tried to correct it with autotune, but apparently the engineer was tone deaf too. (I listened to the second one first, because I followed the link to the article; I didn't just spout off without looking into it.)

Wow, the second is just insane, shame that the little dancing dude is stuck with those guys, he isn't that bad. Just heard this fantastic line in it though, "Got a three letter word; J-O-B-S," *facepalm*
