Any day now conservatives will want to raise the voting age.

Here's a jewel from The Daily Caller, Tucker Carlson's latest stop on the way to ending up with Chuck Norris and Pat Boone writing screeds for World Net Daily:

          Jonah Goldberg is not a fan of young people.

          “It is a simple fact of science that nothing correlates more with ignorance and stupidity more than youth,” the National Review Online editor said in an interview. “We’re all born idiots, and we only get over that condition as we get less young.”

          So why all the focus on the youth vote and “millennials” in politics? Goldberg says young people having so much influence in a society is unhealthy.

          My view is, they’re going to run the country some day, so we should really explain why they’re so frickin’ stupid about so many things,” he said.

          “The fact that young people think socialism is better than capitalism … that’s something that conservatives have to work hard to beat out of them, either literally or figurative, as far as I’m concerned,” he joked.

          Look for the full interview with The Daily Caller’s Ginni Thomas Monday.

Goldberg is 43. He's the right-wing activist son of right-wing activist Lucianne Goldberg, and his interviewer is the right-wing activist wife of Justice Clarence Thomas. It's a lot like Fox News, where the show hosts sit around and interview each other all day.
     In the sort of casual racism that pervades National Review these days (former staff opinionator John Derbyshire set the bar recently for just how racist you can be and be too racist for them; Derbyshire simply dove into a new, lower, gutter), he admits to owning a dog called "Cosmo, a.k.a. "Snowball", "of indeterminate parentage and upbringing."
