You might be a Dem Mama if...

You might be a Dem Mama if…
1) Your children can hum the theme song to NPR’s “All Things Considered”.
2) At 2 years of age, your daughter began gleefully yelling out “Obama” every time she saw his image on TV or heard his voice on the radio.
3) You cringe every time your son sings, “Are you ready for some football?”
4) You try to convince your daughter to rename her “Sarah” American Girl Doll ® to “Hillary”.
5) You judge the quality of a church by the number of public school, NPR, or Obama bumper stickers in the parking lot.
6) You think flag lapel pins are overrated--but patriotism is not.
7) You call your husband to share your joy when you discover another Dem Mama in your neighborhood!
8) You encourage your children to purchase blue (versus red) school uniform shirts.
9) You feel like a failure as a parent any time you allow your children to watch a show on the Fox Network.
10) Your Republican parents refer to you as the one who crossed to the “Dark Side”.
11a) Your Republican husband danced for joy when Olbermann was kicked off of MSNBC and moved to a channel not offered by your cable provider.
11b) Your Republican husband tries to convince your children that Olbermann really was a sports reporter before he turned into Beelzebub.
12) You do your best to raise your children to be everything Rush Limbaugh isn’t.
13) You have a secret cougar crush on Luke Russert.
14) You have a secret lady crush on Rachel Maddow.
15) You used to have a cougar crush on Bill Hemmer until he moved to Fox News. Now you can’t even stand to look at him.
16) You want to tell Shepard Smith that his liberal is showing and that he needs to get his underappreciated, cute butt over to MSNBC.
17) You encourage your children to be defense attorneys, ACLU representatives, Peace Corps members, or, better yet, liberal bloggers.
18) You feel most at peace while perusing the Huffington Post—even if some of their stories make you feel a little like a creepy voyeur.
19) Your husband comes home from work and asks you how a donation to “Recall Scott Walker” ended up on the credit card statement.
20) When teaching your children about your favorite president, Abraham Lincoln, you conveniently forget to mention that he was a Republican.
