Why Mommy Is a Democrat

Sometimes a piece of writing says something so loud and clear that you don't even notice it. It seems the ideal nuclear family to Democrats is a Democrat mommy with her children. No father here, and none necessary.

And, you'd think after eleven different instructive situations with the poor slob in the background suffering, that Mommy Squirrel might do something to help him, but she doesn't even notice him. Ironically, on the very last page that poor guy is sitting under a tree with a voter registration form. I wonder if he'll register as a Democrat now that he's seen Mommy Squirrel ignore him on eleven different occasions when he was in need.

But there's more:

"Democrats make sure everyone is treated fairly, just like Mommy does." Well, that explains why Democratic leaders want to bring back the Fairness Doctrine. It all makes sense to me now.

"Democrats make sure everyone plays by the rules, just like Mommy does."
What about the spider whose home is being used for a volleyball net? What happens when that ball hits the net? No more home for Mr. Spider! Maybe Mommy Democrat had the city use public domain laws to take Mr. Spider's home for use as a volleyball net, because no sane spider would consent to that.

"Democrats make sure no one fights, just like Mommy does." Well, not since we've had a Republican president, anyway. Was it a Democrat who bombed Serbia? Was it a Democrat that got us into Vietnam? Say it isn't so, Mommy! Say it isn't so!

"Democrats make sure we are nice to people who are different, just like Mommy does." Ah yes, a Democrat can be any ethnicity or gender or sexual preference, as long as they are a Democrat. Have a different world view maybe? Then Democrats can be as mean to you as anyone else can.

Dear Nick, ah, yes, and the book is one of two in the set, the other entitled Why Daddy Is a Democrat.
Thanks for your alternative views--always welcome. M
