Conservative rap Hit "Young Con Anthem"

(Fox news).A conservative rap video which claims to reflect true conservative values is quickly becoming a cult success and going viral.

"The Young Con Anthem," created by two Dartmouth students, has received more than 117,000 views and has made it to The Huffington Post, USA Today and a variety of blogs across the political spectrum.



Students David Rufful and Josh Riddle made a rap video which they say was intended to spread the views of the Young Conservatives, a group started by Rufful and Riddle with "a devout mission to spread the love and logic surrounding true conservatism," according the organization's Web site.

Riddle said his views are "more valid" because of the diverse influences that contribute to his conservatism.

The video was meant to start a dialogue about politics, Riddle said, not to offend any group. At one point in song the lyrics say: "Don't matter if you're gay, straight, Christian, Muslim / There's one thing we all hate, it's called socialism."

"I just hope that people understand that in no way are we trying to hate on anybody," Riddle said.
