"Mommy? Who were Republicans?"
Mommy: "Yes dear. Is this for your history class?"
"Why, they were the opposite of your grown-up friends Barack and Michelle, dear. Let's see if I can remember....I think that Republicans were also once known as 'The Party of No'....isn't that silly? Here, lets look at some pictures from your Dad's scrapbook. Wasn't he smart to take some pictures back then? And I have a couple of others to help us see the differences."
"A Party of No house....remember that big 'foreclosed' sign? But their new 'earth-friendly house' is right below it...."
"The house where some of their leaders will stay. And where our leader lives."
"A yard. Our back yard is the second one, honey."
"Pets. See 'Bo' down there in the snow? Don't be frightened, dear....They can't scare us anymore."
"Cars."
"Heroines. Don't worry....that gun lady's waaaaay up in Alaska, sweetie. And she only shoots defenseless animals.... from up in an airplane."
"Gun control."
"Press conference."
"Free time pursuits. Remember, only take the pills the doctor gives you, dear, and one at a time."
"'Big Brain'..."
