effects of liberal indoctrination on children

vignette #1: Every time my two year old sees a tag on a toy or piece of clothing he says, "Is this made in China Momma?"

vignette #2: Last night as I was absorbed in watching the streamed Dead Heads for Obama concert, my 11 year old was getting annoyed that we were not watching the election returns on CNN. When I finally let him turn it on, with volume on low, he heard them talking about gender/race issues. He turns to me and says, "Well, what we really need is an African American Lesbian in the White House."

I wish our kids could hang together! My son: "I don't talk a lot at school anymore. I want to talk about politics and religion and they don't."
Me: Well, what do they talk about?
Son: "Who farted last Wednesday."
