Remember the names David Rufful and Josh Riddle. Both are Dartmouth students and both are “Young Cons,” or young conservatives. They do rap. They do politics. Boy, do they. Their YouTube video “The Young Con Anthem” has been up a few days and has already garnered more than 120,000 views and multiple praise.

Rufful and Riddle have done something rather remarkable in many ways. For one thing, they’ve shown the continued relevance of a fusionist conservatism that unites otherwise disparate communities of admirers of individual freedom, republican liberty and American pride. When was the last time you saw college kids rapping in admiration of Jesus, Ronald Reagan and Atlas Shrugged.
