FEAR

My mom and I were talking last week and something really funny came up. She was saying how when she was little she had a huge fear of the communist. Today that has transferred over to her not liking any type of scary movies or TV shows. Well, I then proceeded to tell her that I grew up with a fear of the democrats. My parents were Republicans (although it's not like there were involved in politics) and so I thought the democrats were the same thing as the communist. I can remember thinking that I was so glad we had President Regan in office because if we ever had a Democrat as a president we would all be in concentration camps and so on. Oh how little I knew then...

that is hilarious! I actually thought the democrats were the enemy as well when I was little. I couldn't fathom anyone else being anything other than a republican (even though I had no idea what that meant).

Now I think most politicians are the enemy. HA!

I think me going to a Christian school had a lot to do with it. I was quite sheltered between my school and church. I was laughing so hard when I told my mom this.

That is funny. Although, it might have something to do with the fact that Christians who call themselves Democrats are often treated as if they are communists!
