My two granddaughters surprised me the other day. They know Grandpa and Grammy are anybody but Obama “folks” and they know their other Grandparents are Obama supporters. So they get home from an overnight visit with their other Grandparents and start telling me about how they were running down Romney. The 13 year old then says she asked them why Obama didn’t send soldiers to Benghazi to save the Americans. About floored me because I didn’t talk about that with tem. But our side is Army so theyknow about the Nobody gets left behind credo.
The 11 year old then says that their other Grandma said that ROmney was against abortion for rpae victims. She answered with the following, “Well Grandma, killing babies is wrong and how would you feel if I killed your great granddaughter”.
Talk about a proud Grandpa. :-}
Good one.
You reminded me of what I wanted to say while I was writing, and this is beside the point I want to make, but here it is:
when BO says, “uuh, and uhh those uuh folks who uuh attacked our uuh ambassador, well they are going to be uuh brought to blah blah blah, and the folks who did this to us. . .” I want someone, Mitt or Rudy G, or even Hillary, or that good for nothing husband of hers (yeah, I know, dream on), to say, “Hey, Barry, these people are not ‘folks’ to us. We Americans would like to point out to you that this is something you need to learn about us if you want to be our president. These people who burn the ambassador alive and who kill our precious special ops guys, ex or active, we don’t consider them to be folks the way you people do. We have other polite ways of IDing them. But the nomenclature you are using is highly offensive. So, let’s go over this, ‘folks’-no”.
Back to the point. Got a class of tenth graders. They say, “What!? The ambassador was killed and the prez & staff did nothing!? Why isn’t the media all over this?”. They know sedition when they see it. That’s the age of truth and hatred of hypocrisy. I wouldn’t stifle it if my life depended on it.
They get it. They were the ones to show me a couple of years ago the vid of BO talking about our 57 states. Also, now, they say they are not going to college if this guy gets back in in four days. They are right. But I don’t know how to respond to any of this. I never lie to them. I just pivot. They and I know what I’m doing. They know that I know that they know that I know. . .
