When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Nothing makes my kids cry faster than telling them they will either grow up to be a democrat or a liberal.  I think they would rather me tell them they will grow up to be live frog eating circus freaks than either liberals or democrats.  I do fully expect to be told one of the two for April Fool's day though.

See, this is why my parents hid politics from me as long as possible.  Sure, they told me about responsibility and earning one's keep, but they never told me I should be this or that.    And I'm glad they chose to raise me in such a manner.   Politics is an ugly world, and kids don't need to be exposed to it so early.

I discovered politics on my own, and was really awake to how things were in the world after 9/11(sophomore in HS at that time), which was when I decided I was at least leaning to the right.  I mostly read articles and blogs on the Internet then, but when I started college, I helped start a College Republicans chapter and got really active in the organization, with fund-raisers (I organized a Relay for Life team for the CR's) and sometimes protests (anti-abortion, mostly).

This is so ridiculous. Why wouldn't a 10 year old parrot their parent's point of view? They have no other frame of reference. This is nothing more than DUmmie narcissism..."LOOK AT MEEEEE!!!! I'M SUCH A GREAT PARENT!!!! My child already thinks like me!"

Right. A child will say whatever is pleasing to his parent's ear  :whatever:. With that in mind, all this DUmmie goes to show is that they have doused their kid with their politics and the child wanted some positive attention from them...which is sad in a way.

And the DUmmie is "proud" of this, and is using it to wax their own ego. Typical.

My wife's sister was sooo proud of her two-and-a-half year-old daughter about six weeks ago, when the little darling blurted out (on cue, mind you) that she wanted Barack Obama to be the next president.  Since then, the Reverend Wright controversy (and Obama's twisting and turning to it) has come out, and the last time I saw them (Easter), not a word about politics was spoken.  (If we had gone there with the conversation, I was ready.)

I can't wait until the weekend of the 27th of August!  :evillaugh: :hyper: :-)
