A
first grade teacher explained to her class that she is a liberal
Democrat... She asked her students to raise their hands if they were
liberal
Democrats too... Not really knowing what a liberal Democrat was, but
wanting
to be like their teacher, their hands exploded into the air like fleshy
fireworks... There was, however, one exception... A girl named Lucy had
not
gone along with the crowd... The teacher asked her why she decided to be
different... "Because I'm not a liberal Democrat," she
answered... "Then,"
asked the teacher, "What are you?" "Why I'm a proud
conservative
Republican," boasted the little girl... The teacher was a little
perturbed
now, her face slightly red... She asked Lucy why she is a conservative
Republican... "Well, I was brought up to trust in myself instead of
relying
on an intrusive government to care for me and do all of my thinking...
My
dad and mom are conservative Republicans, and I am a conservative
Republican
too..." The teacher was now angry. "That's no reason,"
she said loudly...
"What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron... What
would you be
then?" Lucy paused and smiled... "Then," she replied,
"I'd be a liberal
Democrat..."
