Tweener "idols" Nick Jonas & Jordin Sparks chair Reagan Youth Committee

[Amerigo Vespucci]

They weren't even alive when he was president, but 18-year-old Jonas brother Nick Jonas and 21-year-old "American Idol" champ Jordin Sparks are big Ronald Reagan fans.

Jonas and Sparks are leading a committee of 35 prominent young people touched by the life of the Gipper, the nation's 40th president who left the White House in 1989.

The group was formed to commemorate Reagan's 100th birthday on Feb. 6.

The National Youth Leadership Committee of the Ronald Reagan Centennial Celebration includes athletes, entertainers and student leaders who are under age 25. They have been inspired in a personal way by Reagan's vision of freedom and his leadership.

"My father and my family were supporters of Reagan," Jonas said. "I'm proud to be a part of this. It's amazing."

Sparks says she also admires the president dubbed the Great Communicator.

"It has been really cool to tell my friends I'm a part of this. A good many of my friends have positive things to say about him," Sparks said.

[Darth_Kitten]

2. Reagan youth? ((((gag)))))

I'm doing what my mommy and daddy brainwashed, er, told me to.

[Initech]

30. There's something very seriously wrong with this concept.

[City Lights]

3. ...

:puke:

[arbusto_baboso]

4. Just another reason to ignore the Jonas Brothers.

[Darth_Kitten]

7. I wouldn't be able to pick them out of a lineup......

:)

Today's teen idol is tomorrow's hasbeen.

[Maru Kitteh]

45. Today's teen idol used to be tomorrows has-been. Now it's more like

this afternoon's has-been.

[geardaddy]

5. I'm only reccing for the disgust value.

:puke:

[mix]

6. vile beyond words...

nazi punks fuck off...just came to me

[Dawson Leery]

9. +1

[Dawson Leery]

8. The Jonas brothers are garbage. See below:

1) They cannot sing. Their voices are nagging on the ear drums to say the least.
2) The Jonas's are Born Again (Assemblies of God) "Christians". It is the Assemblies of God who
initiated the infamous "speaking in tongues" nonsense that is supposed to "connect you with God".
3) Being Born Again "Christians" should have been the first tip off that the Jonas's are right wing tools.
4) As for teen shows, Lizzie McGuire offered more in terms of reality to the 'tween' community that this Jonas garbage.

[Fuzz]

10. My father is a retired Assemblies of God preacher.

I didn't know these kids were AG. Blech.

[niyad]

11. well, that explains so much--have never heard them "sing", but don't even like the look

[Dawson Leery]

12. If you have had the misfortune to see the show.

It is bad. Worse than Hannah Montana. They even put two talentless pieces of 'eye-candy' on the show too. :eyes:

[niyad]

34. I am, mercifully, ignorant of groups such as this. heck, I didn't even know who ted nugent was.

I prefer to listen to people with actual musical talent.

[marmar]

13. Historical ignoramuses, I see......

The future ain't looking too bright.

[izquierdista]

14. Baga lugga suppa poo!

Chun giri wanga bing-ping! Snaba жратва coo-coo puffz!


and that's STILL more comprehensible than Sarah on a good day.

[KittyWampus]

15. Jordan Sparks= corporate plant into the competition.

[KamaAina]

16. Oh dear. This will cause much wailing and gnashing of teeth for our favorite JoBros fan.

Her name has slipped my memory for the moment...

[derby378]

17. Prefuse 73, Flaming Lips, Lustmord, The Hope Trust - check!

Nope, don't have any room to spare for either Jonas or Sparks. Too bad. :eyes:

[Binka]

24. Amen Brother!

How ya doing buddy?

[derby378]

44. God forbid we should have music that is challenging

They've got Jonas and Sparks on their side, but I'm pretty certain these guys are on mine:







Let's just say that I like the odds.

And I am hanging in there, looking for work and celebrating my wife's legacy. :hi:

[gratuitous]

18. Why shouldn't they be?

The motto of the Reagan Youth is "I got mine, and fuck you." For the rest of their natural lives, neither one of these young men should ever have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Sucks to be the rest of you, but you're here only to give a portion of your hard-earned for the privilege of sharing the planet with these fabulous persons.

[Binka]

25. I wish I could recommend this reply!

Spot on.

[Initech]

41. Yup those scum are definitely part of that crowd

Not only do they never have to worry about money, they make a mockery of actual, talented musicians thanks to the Disney Imdustrial Complex.

[DaughterOfBilitis]

19. That's exactly what we need.

More Nazi youth.

[niyad]

35. welcome to DU

[DaughterOfBilitis]

40. Thank you, niyad!

:toast:

[TheMightyFavog]

20. Apologies to Bill Hicks...

When people ask me who my Favorite Jonas Brother is, I say "the one who dies first."

[truebrit71]

21. Now THAT is LOL funny!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Dawson Leery]

22. +1,000,000,000

:rofl: :thumbsup:

[mitchum]

23. May they soon be with their beloved gipper

[whistler162]

38. Did that tattoo hurt? The big L on your forehead does

[mitchum]

48. L? For what? Limburger? La-Z Boy? Larry? Lichtenstein? Loritab?

Help me out here. Pleeeeasssse.

[Iggo]

55. Oh, I really hope it's Lichtenstein.

Come on, come on, come on.....

[Erose999]

26. I'm laughing so hard that they are calling their movement "Reagan Youth" cause

that name is already taken. One of the best anti racism/anti fascism hardcore bands from the 1980's.

27. woof blitzer got his start in the '700 club'

though, notice, he kept that outta his public resume later at CNN when he promoted junyer bush etc. Ken 'Starr and Stripes' of Monicagate/impeach Clinton fame, was named Dean of Baylor University in waco texas recently, ferchrissakes! How do you spell 'TREASON' in texas? The USSR defeated nazi german armies by occupying Berlin in May of 1945- reagan's election in Nov 1980 however proved Hitler finally did win WW2 despite that little setback...the USSR was itself finally killed in 1991!
I could go on like this all day! :)
jonas brothers. fukkit

[PM Martin]

28. The Jonas Brothers are very much like Ronald Reagan.

They are shallow, B-Grade 'talent' just like Ronnie.

[joeybee12]

29. Well, we should be thankful there's no young person in that group with actual talent...n/t

[brooklynite]

31. Are they sure they want to commemorate someone that Liberal?

Tax Raiser?

"Cut & Runner" from Beirut?

"Big Government" supporter of the Depts of Education and Energy?

Political Appeaser meeting with the leaders of the Evil Empire?

Not sure I'd want to taint the young generation with that kind of socialist ideology...

[DainBramaged]

32. There aren't enough jerk off giffs on earth to fully describe these dickwads

[niyad]

36. I had no idea what that gif was--thanks for the info!!!

[DainBramaged]

47. Some people are sheltered

sorry you missed the class :eyes:

[niyad]

50. guess I should read my memos once in awhile, eh?

[PM Martin]

33. Here is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. IranContra Jonas

http://www.zimbio.com/pictures/1rR4bxnb1Zh/Walt+Disney+Pictures+Jonas+Brothers+3D+Concert/6RuncjKs5qV/Denise+Jonas

Kevin Sr. reminds me of a washed up porn producer. :puke:

:puke:

[Green_Lantern]

37. hey...Reagan was better than Dems like Truman...

Reagan started the process of dismantling our nuclear state.

Truman created it and is the only President to use nuclear weapons.

But I bet these Reagan youth aren't honoring second term Ronnie.

[qb]

39. I am so glad my daughter is over the Jonas Brothers.

They can be added to the long list of talentless Repukes.

[Iggo]

42. You know who else used to have his own Youth?

Hitler.

That's right. Hitler.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

46. I know...I thought about that while posting.

I guess we will always have RonnieBots...in this situation, it's the faithful cries of people who are completely off my radar anyway, so let them have their rallies, let them sit around and drink Hawaiian Punch and eat Chips Ahoy cookies and talk about how "cool" Ronnie was.

:rofl:

[WCGreen]

43. Of course they love him...

They pay less taxes because of him...

Greedy self centered little fucks...

[BurtWorm]

49. Up up with people!

:patriot:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

53. "WE LIKE ROY! WE LIKE ROY! WE LIKE ROY!"

...an obvious "in joke" for my DU friends who are Simpsons fans, and a "WTF" moment for everyone else.

:rofl:

:toast:

[mdmc]

51. I never knew who Nick Jonas & Jordin Sparks were

now i don't like em..

[AspenRose]

52. Sounds like the RNC has their entertainment lineup for 2012.

[PM Martin]

54. Homeschoolers for Perry?

[LostinVA]

56. Not surprised about Spaks -- winner fo the worst "Idol" season ever

[TK421]

57. This is one part of the eighties that needs to stay buried n/t

[LynneSin]

58. Jonas can kiss his career to obscurity

I mean it was bound to happen anyways but seriously, the kid is whack and I highly doubt there is a single progressive minded person who is sad to hear that either of these 2 dimwits are republicans.

[Dawson Leery]

60. It is telling that these nothings have a career to start with.

[LynneSin]

61. Jonas Brothers have had some success but catering to the tweener crowds

But like other Tween Crooners before them, that jump to music that grown-up will buy, even former tweeners that owned earlier releases by the group is always difficult. Sure, every once in awhile you get a Justin Timberlake or Mark Wahlberg that manages to make the jump but let's face it, no one can really remember who was in groups like InSync, BackStreet Boys, 98 Degrees, Hanson or New Kid on the Block.

[Contrary1]

59. And why not? Everyone loves a winner, and the Gipper is looking better than ever these days...

when compared to cast members of the current season of Republicon Idol.
