I'm the parent of one of those brainwashed kids (21 now). As much as I am tempted - daily - to really rub it in, he is so defeated and disgusted with "The One" that I just don't have the heart. Boy, has he ever become a cynic. I can tell he feels stupid and used.
And he should, the goofball. I don't know what he was thinking. Temporary insanity, maybe.
He is young, and being liberal is a luxury afforded him by other's hard work and blood. I really don't have a problem with that.
