The thing about scholarships

So at the ripe age of 22 I am making my way back into college. Yay! And after doing a bunch of research on scholarship all I have to say is Lord help you if you are a straight white male who didn't play sports all through high school. The only redeeming factor I have in my search for scholarships is that I'm a woman. Then there's the freaking FAFSA! good grief even though I have lived on my own for the past 4 years, and my parents have no intention of helping me through college, I still have to put their income on the papers and if their income is over x amount well then sucks for me because I'm not getting any help from the government. Not that I want help from the government to go to college it's my choice to go back. However, if I did it is a very ridiculous thought to expect my parents to pay for my college because they make x amount of dollars. That is just another example of how the government discriminates against people who do well for themselves.

Okay now that that little tangent is out of the way, back to scholarships. There are scholarships for everything from left handed people all the way to full ride scholarships simply because you graduated from a certain high school. So could somebody please tell me why there are very few conservative scholarships?! ( I was only able to find one and even then it was for republican women only.) Which got me thinking, how awesome would it be if right wing bloggers offered college scholarships? I know most bloggers work off donations so it's a little far fetched, but how funny would it be if someone said hey my scholarship came from angrywhitedude, or hey I wrote in the winning essay to atlas shrugs and they are sending me to college. I dunno maybe it's only funny and ironic in my head, but it really frustrates me that a conservative colleges student only option for help with college is government aid, their parents, or to save up tons of money to go on our own. And then we wonder why the colleges are so infested with liberal idiots that are brainwashing students. HELLO it's because liberals are out there recruiting other liberals to come to their liberal college.

Maybe I'm completely wrong in this and if I am someone tell me, but how can conservatives expect a young vote when they're doing nothing to reach out to young voters? I know this comes out sounding like a give me free stuff and I'll do your bidding type thing, and that's not what I'm going for at all. I just really feel like the right has  written off todays youth, and I know that there are tons of us out there that just want to prove to y'all that you're not leaving the world to a bunch of liberal morons.
