Caiden Cowger is back, and he has a fancy new leather jacket in this video! My favorite part is when he, a bit bitterly, tells people to “beware of the Jonathan Crohns” of the world. Jonathan Crohn, you will remember, was the boy wonder who mastered the art of sputtering conservative talking points, to the delight of CPAC attendees, and then, once he started to grow up a bit, realized how woefully naive he had been. Caiden Cowger would like to assure you all that he will NEVER learn to think for himself:
Oh, kids…
[h/t Joe]
My first reaction was, ‘is this boy slowly coming out?’ His words say one thing, but his body language and pseudo jazz hands say another.
As for him ‘picking’ apart the e-mail, he does what most righties do, declares the comments nul and void without any proof, rebuttal or counter point…..typical.
I would respectfully suggest that his parents steer clear of his closet door because, when it opens…and it will, the force of the door and hinges coming off could cause injuries.
Is he home schooled, or does he go to school with other kids his age? And if he goes to school with his peers, how do they respond to his know-it-all attitude? He has much to learn, and will hopefully grow up in the years ahead.
I was a junior republican until I was 16, even back in the days when not all republicans were crazy (you know when some voted for the EPA and the Civil Rights Act). A lot of those who stay locked into mental adolescence are probably genetically hardwired to do so. And lazy.
I couldn’t watch more that twenty seconds of this fourteen year old pretending to be adult. Perhaps he’ll have something coherent to say in six to eight years. Until then, I can’t be arsed.
He’s simply reiterating all the bile spewed by conservative media bigwigs like Rush Limbaugh. The saddest thing is that this kid actually seems to believe this crap. I hope someday he will hear both sides equally, do his own research, and realize the truth…and have an awakening. Brainwashing is scary. This has to be a form of child abuse.
I’m starting to realize that when these people talk about the liberal agenda and that liberals are taking over that, really, they’re giving us too much credit. We’re not nearly as united or active as Republicans say we are, and we should be. The Far Right is very mobilized and very active. They mean war and we’re letting them wage it.
Poor thing is such a tool and has no idea. I hope he isn’t too embarrassed and ashamed when he looks back at this years later.
I hear many uber conservatives speaking through his mouth. Are we supposed to believe that he came to these conclusions by himself? Right! And why does expressing a view toward righting the injustices and inequalities of our society have to mean doing away with all “traditional” values according to these conservative thinkers? Seems to me that if a “machine” has a flaw, you repair the flaw so the machine will work as intended. You don’t automatically throw away the machine.
He does remind me of one of my nephews. He was this right wing puppet head just mouthing the opinions of his father (my brother) who is very conservative up through his early college years and when he went on a mission for the Mormon Church. But by the time he was 27 he had finally come out and had to admit he didn’t really know what he was talking about all that time.
Hell; When I was his age I was convinced that the war in Vietnam was a good thing (I went to a conservative boarding school). But that’s what college is for. It stimulates the intellectual curiosity necessary for the development of critical thinking.
He goes to school in Buchcannon, West Virgina. My friend is from that town and i’ve gone with him to enjoy a trip in the mountains. You’d be surprised how many people there have this mind set. His first video was about gay’s and basically saying it’s a choice and you’re an abomination. And again, there are quite a few people around there that completely agree. It’s sad to see.
This child is (to pull a quote from a TV show I saw years afgo, but don’t happen to remember which one it is) “gayer than a picnic basket”. I hope for his sake he does grow into a compassionate person when he’s an adult, not 14 or 15. I did kind of LOL when he was complaining about a show on Disney that promoted environmentalism (for some reason this is bad?) and then complained about a commercial with Mrs. Obama that promoted healthy eating and exercise (again bad?). Because, supposedly this is the “liberal left” trying to indoctrinate the youth. I’m ashamed to say that he is from my home town, but want to point out we are not all like him despite being from a small town in rural WV.
Wow.
This kid reminds me of a phase of my life I nearly forgot, and quite frankly, would like to completely forget, because I was just as loony, just as brainwashed as he is.
Is this kid for real? Thinking for your self doesn’t mean doing your own reserch it means makeingup your own mind. Ok your not for Obama. I will admit when he rean i voted for him Not because i thought he was the best in the world, but because he was the best option at the time. I think Obama honeslty tried to do what he thought was rifght for the country. not saying i agree with everything he has done how ever at kleast he tried something with health care and that was more than either side had done up to that point. as for the coments about not being able to exspress hi views on his own religion. No i don’t agree with you. you can love a person and not like what they do that is suposed to be the way of Jesus Christ. To love one another. becuase if you love each other then in a peace full way threw love not you but love can trun a person to the lord.
Being liberal or conservative I don’t care either way. We need to stop looking at whats makes everyone so diffrent and look at what makes us all the same. We are people, we have the right ti life Liberty and the pursuit of happieness.
I don’t care if you like men or wemon thats your buisness i have freinds of every creed collor.
reguardless of who you are you should not have to feel afraid for your safety just because somone else doesn’t like 1 thing about you.
personally i feel this kid comes acrost to me as intolrant of any view that is not his own.
while respect you might beleave what you do i won’t hold it against you. as long as you show respect to others. you my freind need to really get out of the house and meet reall people and i think you will find the people that you called to arms as conservatives are not always the ones that have been in the past to show such respect. if the conservtives had it there way We would still be slave owners in this contry, and under the English rule. So just to be clear i don’t confrom to any party lines i think for my self. and i have worked for what i have. and i have made it my personal responcablity to take part in my comunity not by rambling nonsince on the web cast show but but Spending time advocating for kids with special needs dealing with the schools ( who see no need to change, i was aunion rep for 5 years for workers who were regularly biten kicked stabbed at thrown down steps and much much worse on the job by mentally challenged patentins because the comapny saw fit to not inform the staff of there criminal history’s of extream viloance, I have personally driven AMbulances to and from the Sceans as a volentear not for money but because i want everyone to have a better chance of survival. I’m not goint to refuse to treat or transport somone because i don’t see EYE to eye with them. that wouls be Wrong. I do these things because it needs done. some times like in our country change is not only needed to fix things in our country sometimes we need change to survive as a coountry. as a civilised society, and as humanity. i have cchanged laws in this state. i have deended inocent people, and i have been defended as a native WV home grown. and understand it’s not always the facts of things it’s the presentation and yours shas come aross as a bit extreamly gun hoe for the anti GLBTQ comunity. and that looks bad on you and the conservative party. even if you don’t agree with me on the way it looks from my view. atleast look at how it might appear.
just so you know I’m Red neck, Blue colord, and strait. I will come out and say it yes i think gay marage should be legalized everywere. the strait comunity lost the right to argue against it when they opened the first drive threw wedding chappel / devorse drive threw in the USA.
Men trying to conrtol wemon, men beating wemon, thats whats ruining the sanctiy of marrige.
Chris, your last four sentences made me smile.
