My daughter's best friend (and her best friend's mother) campaigned hard & long for The One. Finally old enough to vote, she became politically aware for the first time in her life. She took every opportunity to engage me, to show me the error of my ways. I've kept my mouth shut & my opinions to myself, knowing it would only be a matter of time before reality would smack her upside the head.

When she loudly complained about being passed over for an award at Alverno in favor of some girl who had poorer grades but higher ‘victim’ class status, I just tried to quell my grin & kept quiet. She found socialism less appealing when she wasn't the recipient of the benefits.

She railed against the ‘protected class’ when she found she was no longer a member. I told her come tax time she will swing over to the dark side.

Reagan often used the “welfare queen” example.

I know from experience that MANY Union Democrats hate supporting dead beats.

I honestly believe that we can also fight “health care reform” the same way:

“This guy thinks a “balanced diet” means he has to drink LIGHT BEER with his two frozen pizzas, he is 150 lbs overweight, he smokes cigarettes, he drinks every day, he uses illegal drugs, he gets into bar fights, he drives without his seat belt -—

He chose NOT to buy group health insurance through his employers health plan -—

Should YOUR tax dollars pay for HIS health care expenses?

Or
This woman is a street hooker and crack addict. She has been arrested 12 times for prostitution, shop lifting and various drug charges.
She is on food stamps, because she does not report her earnings from prostitution.
Should YOUR tax dollars pay for HER health care?

Wonderful, heartfelt story my friend.
Thank you for sharing.
In a way it validates what I --& a few others-- believe and have been saying since the halfrican usurper arrived on the scene.

"I told her come tax time she will swing over to the dark side."

HA!!
Why you wordsmith, you. :^)

Look I'll tell you what, just so I don't take anything for granted I'll urge you to make it a point to be around when this youngster does indeed have to pony-up to pay her share of the tax burden; though, I'd guess you had this in mind, anyway.

Nor do I need to tell you to be gentle, either. You're a big teddy bear, the *perfect* person to enlighten a developing youngster on matters of ideology, politics etc.

Not a'tall like I. ;^)
