Halloween Part Deux
Ack! I have something in common with a Rethuglican! I’ve denied candy to kids on Halloween for personal, arbitrary reasons. The scary woman (did she put that make up on just for halloween?) in the video below refused to give candy to kids who have parents who support Obama.
No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters, or kids of supporters
While I must say that she has a right to deny candy to anyone she wants, I think she’s incredibly petty and small minded. She’s punishing the children for the views of their parents because children of this age rarely hold political views different than their parents (no, I don’t have source for this assertion, yet). I was trying to enforce the tradition of the holiday. Had a kid (heck, even an adult) said “Trick or Treat!” while wearing a McCain mask or sporting a Palin ‘do, they’d have gotten candy from me, despite potential political differences.
While I admit that were I to come up on the situation my self I’d be perturbed at first, I think we’d walk away from the house just like we’d leave a house that didn’t respond to the door bell. “Come on kids. The lights are on, but clearly no one’s home.”
