the drawings are ugly.

[Mateo el Feo]

From the book:

"Democrats make sure we all share our toys, just like Mommy does."
"Democrats make sure we are always safe, just like Mommy does."
"Democrats make sure children can go to school, just like Mommy does."

On the cutting room floor:

"Democrats make sure that Mommy can kill her unborn children."
"Democrats make sure that Mommy and Daddy can get an easy divorce, because sometimes 'family' is a hassle."
"Democrats make sure public schools are for indoctrination and emotional self-reflection, not actual learning."

Wouldn't the title more accurately be "Why Are My Two Mommies Democrats"?

[Aloysius]

reminds me of why I oppose democrats: I am not a child and the government is NOT my mommy. ever heard the term "nanny state"? it has a negative connotation and so would mommy state.

my mom can teach me to share my toys, my governnment cannot legislate me into it.

Why is Mommy a Democrat?

Because "Mommy"'s a lazy welfare-dependent bisexual crack-addict silly sally who aborted all her other kids, and wants Uncle Sam to subsidize all her various vices?

Or, maybe it's because, judging from the cover illustration, "Mommy" appears to be a squirrel. Squirrels are not particularly bright nor reflective creatures, liking to rush headlong under the wheels of moving vehicles and such, when they're not busy chasing nuts.

Not the squirrels I know. Just ask ardillacid...

Is it just me, or does anyone else find this a rather chilling summation of modern liberal ideology?

When will people realize that it's not the job of the government to be everybody's "Mommy"??!

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the "Mommy State."

Love that book! If I ever have kids, I'll read it to them every night.

They're never too young for political indoctrination!

Quoting from the 2005 Democratic party platform:[quote]We will defend the dignity of all Americans against those who would undermine it. Because we believe in the privacy and equality of women, we stand proudly for a woman's right to choose, consistent with Roe v. Wade, and regardless of her ability to pay. We stand firmly against Republican efforts to undermine that right. At the same time, we strongly support family planning and adoption incentives. Abortion should be safe, legal, and rare.[/quote]

I think it's gotta be pretty tough to remain in a party whose platform explicity excludes and attacks one's pro-life position, going so far as to associate it with being Republican. It's almost like a political excommunication. LOL.

Jokes aside, I do wish pro-life Democrats well. I just think they've got quite an uphill battle to revive a political party that has sold its soul to the culture of death.

Isn't "the Government has to stay out of my business" also an argument for keeping abortion legal?

I'm a quasi-Republican, but it has nothing to do with big vs. small government, or economic reasons, or the war, or the border. Those are all "throw-in" issues. Abortion is the make or break issue is practically every case. I'd [b]happily[/b] vote for Hilary if she was adamantly opposed to abortion. I realize this is a very hypothetical situation here, but I think it's a hypothetical situation worth mentioning for the sake of argument.

[dairygirl4u2c]

how do liberals say that schools are for indoctrination?
well, i guess there are some who say gay's are equal should be taught.
but, i think the same could be said against conservatives. eg. God for evolution arguments, contraception etc.
really, both sides think their arguments are perfectly natural and the other side is indoctrination.
kinda like how both sides accuse the other of hindering free speech and such. some one both sides do, and it depends on how you define free speech etc.

Précisément! It's not a question of "big" government or "small" government, or that government spends too much or supports too many programs. It's whether or not government is "big" in the ways [i]I[/i] want it to be big, and "small" in the ways [i]I[/i] want it to be small, and that it spends money only on the programs [i]I[/i] support. Hence, [url="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-11-13-bush-bill_N.htm"]President Bush can veto an education and healthcare bill for $606B because it spends "too much" but on the same day approve a defense bill for $471B[/url]. Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

As I noted in [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showtopic=74654"]this thread[/url], US bishops have noted that "... Catholic teaching [makes] it difficult for parishioners to feel fully comfortable with either the Democrats or Republicans."

Why is Daddy a Republican?

Republicans keep us safe, just like daddy does.
Republicans help us learn how to use money wisely, just like daddy does.
Republicans make sure we all give God His due, just like daddy does.
Republicans respect the dignity of women and the right to life, just like daddy does.
When we're whining to mommy (Democrats) and asking her (them) to kiss our boo-boos, Republicans tell us to smell of elderberries it up, just like daddy does.*




*this is not an attack on Democrats, but rather a satire on those who take advantage of the Democratic party to try to make it all about comfort and fuzzy-feelings.

For the republicans, yeah, they have really strayed from their path and the question for them really is "is the government big the way I want it to be big, small the way I want it to be small?"; as Ron Paul aptly pointed out in the debates, they have become the party of big spending, big government, they've adopted all the old democrat policies on these things.

but for Catholics, the power is supposed to be in the hands of the smaller local governments, with the larger distant governments only doing those things which can only be done by a larger distant government.

the issue of abortion is a political football, it's a joke in american politics. you could get the most pro-life person in office that you want, but the only way they're actually going to change anything is if they believe in small federal government. so long as the federal government is large and powerful, no one, republican or democrat, will ever illegalize abortion. you need someone who is going to give the states the power to illegalize it, that's the only way anything is ever going to be done. otherwise, you're just going to keep voting in candidates who will take baby steps one way or the other to appease you, all the while millions of babies will continue to die. I am thoroughly convinced that the only way to make a huge stride towards illegalizing abortion is to find someone with a consistent ideology against big government. it's big government that has forced the legalization of abortion, and it'll only be the shrinking of the federal government that will ever stop it.

almost every state, given the chance, would illegalize abortion.
