She asks 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 flew up into the air. There was, however, one exception. A girl named Lucy had not gone
along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different. "Because I'm not a liberal
Democrat." "Then," asks the teacher, "What are you?" ''Why I'm a proud conservative Republican," boasts the
little girl. The teacher, a little perturbed and her face slightly red, asked Lucy why she was 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, now angry, loudly says, "That's no reason! What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad
was a moron. What would you be then?" She pauses, and lets out a smile. "Then," Lucy says, "I'd be a liberal
Democrat."
