Pride

Many of my daughter's political beliefs and mine are not the same. A few days ago my wife was in the LA area and she and my daughter were shopping. They walked past a person who had a picture of the President with a Hitler mustache. They asked "Would you sign our petition." To which my daughter replied, "I don't agree with anything you stand for."

Whatever her beliefs, she was willing, in a small way, to stand up for them. Comparing this president, or any president to Hitler is silly and inappropriate. I would hope that had she seen a picture of the last president as Hitler (there certainly were many) she would have had the same reaction. But even if she did not, she exercised her right to expression.
