When my then 5 year old son was in kindergarten a couple of years ago, somehow the topic of President Bush came up between him and a girl classmate. He told me the story later that night. The classmate told my son, "George Bush! He's an evil man" My son replied, "He's not evil! He's a Republican!" He had such righteous indignation in his voice when he was telling the story. I was so proud of him for sticking up for the President.
The indignation is funny! Reminds me of when I went to vote in NYC once,deep in dem country.
An old woman checking names looked up at me and screeched 'democrat?'
My warm smile vanished and I indignantly responded 'PLEASE!' as to say 'oh goodness, how could you say such a thing?' It was real funny, though the row of provincial NYCers on line didn't care for my putdown of their ilk! ;-)
