Goldberg said there is a power worship in the popular reverence for the youth vote. He said that theyre going to run the country someday, so we should really explain to them why theyre so frickin stupid about some things.
It is a simple fact of science that nothing correlates more with ignorance and stupidity more than youth, Goldberg continued. Were all born idiots, and we only get over that condition as we get less young.
He said that youth culture is possibly more powerful than it has ever been and that is unhealthy for a society.
Goldberg said that many young people view socialism as a viable alternative to capitalism and that is proof of what social scientists call, theyre stupidity.
Thats something that conservatives have to work hard to beat out of them, either literally or figuratively, as far as Im concerned, Goldberg concluded.
