Would you believe one reason for the GOP’s struggles attracting younger voters is the television show Family Guy?
Mediaite notes conservative blogger Bill Whittle says the show is programming American youth to be “anti-American and anti-Christian.”
At the RightOnline Conference in Orlando this weekend, Whittle charted the decline of American muscular values through the history of television.
“Any audience of people that grew up with classical Superman automatically love this country, because Superman is about the best America we can be,” he said. “When Superman was all over the pop culture, we were a nation that loved this country. Now, twenty years after the peak of Superman‘s popularity, along comes Gilligan’s Island. That’s pretty neutral in terms of politics. Really about the only message you can get fromGilligan’s Island is if you want to get off the island all you have to do is kill Gilligan.”
“But if you’re a young person out there today and you can finish the theme song from Family Guy, then all the anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, anti-morality messages of Family Guy are in your head as completely and thoroughly as that theme song is,” Whittle said.
