Re: Oh, little Republican girl?

I don't even think the point is Demos vs Repubs; it could be anything at all. I know you know that, it's all I can come up with to start.

I just think that this young girl is suddenly realizing how her family comes across and treats those who don't share their views. It hasn't been an issue for her until now because nothing in her has ever run contrary to their beliefs. Now she's on the outside looking in and saying yikes.

Hey, welcome to adulthood, cutie! I remember the time my family started making fun of Scott Baio in Skatetown USA and the nervousness I felt in worrying, "omigod, they're going to find out I love roller disco! I gotta get out of this crazy family before they kill me in my sleep!"

You know, it's not bad enough that they spew their views in front of your friends while driving you around in their car, now they can't even keep their damn opinions to themselves in their own home. The nerve of some people!
