My daughter, who sang at an FR rally, just informed me that she is voting for Obama because Romney is a right wing extremist who condemned gay marriage.
I raised an idiot.
Yep the kids have been taught their parents are racist haters. And we let the schools and media do it when we should have these people fired.
Go to any college, they are all merrily holding anti Jew rallies for the palestinians, calling Jews “nazis” and they think if you oppose gay marriage you are an evil hater. But we keep paying tuitions rather than circle the place and demand firings.
Cut off her inheritance.Let her get it from obama.
So, where did it go wrong? Seriously.
I am very sorry....sincerely. It must be heartbreaking to have your own child spurn all the wisdom and principles you have tried to teach her.
No. You did not raise an idiot. Your daughter, just like my youngest, has been indoctrinated by liberal media and educational institutions. It will take some years and a lot of patience on our part to bring them back into the light.
Daughter 1980 - her and her husband are both staunch conservatives
Son 1983 - him and his wife are both staunch conservatives
Son 1987 - vegetarian liberal
Ouch, that's gotta hurt. Not much to be done about it though. Good luck.
"I raised an idiot."
Naw. MY Birkenstock-wearing, veggie, professional artist daughter did drop that she feels safer when she goes running in her own neighborhood because of all the Republican campaign signs.
Your daughter will continue to learn as she gets older.
I raised an idiot.
It'll take a lot of Socratic dialogue to overcome that level of programming - but it can be done. If you can resist the impulse to strangle her first, of course.
Don’t beat yourself up! I raised 4 and 1 goes to the left. Fireman. What can we do about it? Nothing! Love our kids and hope for the best. Sheeesh!
The Father, a fine Southern Gentleman, told her to drive home the next weekend because they needed to talk.
When the Daughter got home, the Father sat her down and informed her that if he found out that she supported and Voted for Obama he would (a) stop paying for her Education, (b) Stop paying for her room and board, (3) Take away the Car he gave her and (d) she would be on her own from then on.
The Daughter cried to Mommy, but Mommy knew backing up the ignorant Obama loving Daughter against the Husband would not end well, since the Wife was and is a fine Southern Lady who knew the lay of the land.
Last I heard, the Daughter got over her Obama infatuation before driving back to School. She learned the lay of the land from her Father as well.
My daughter sang at Dan’s Bake Sale...
She voted for Willard in 2008..
She calls herslf a moderate...
I dont think shes an idiot...
Just severely off the Conservative track...
I don’t think your situation is unique, but I feel your pain. I’m in sort of the opposite position. My parents raised me conservative, and I’ve never lost touch with those values or changed, but they sure have. The deterioration started to happen sometime in the 90s after Clinton won. They didn’t vote for him, but then voted for his reelection in 96’(first time for a Democrat that I can remember). Voted for Gore in 2000. Miraculously, came back to the fold and voted for Bush in 2004, but then supported Obama in 2008.
Now, it’s like they’re Obama pod people. Nothing he does can be wrong. It’s pointless to even argue with them. For instance, after the Obama ‘evolution’, now they support gay marriage. The parents who raised me to believe in the literal truth of the Bible, now support gay marriage. Mom actually said recently that she thinks, “Gay is the new black.” I’ve told her she better not say that in ‘mixed’ company or she might, deservedly, get punched in the mouth...
So, what you're saying is that now is the time to finally send her on that vacation to Europe for a tour of England, Spain and the low countries.
Mitt Romney a right wing extremist? Its hard to even call him conservative with a straight face, much less an extremist.
Have you checked your daughter for drugs?
