It's that time of year again, when parents begin to scramble for Halloween costumes for their kids as the days tick ever closer to All Hallows Eve. Thanks to television and movies, there is a virtual pantheon of kids' characters and superheroes from which to choose. Of course, there are also the safe "everyday" costumes like firefighters and doctors. But there is definitely one area from which parents should stay away and I'm not just talking about culturally insensitive or appropriative costumes, either. Here's why you shouldn't dress your kid in a political Halloween costume.
I know it's tempting to slap a blonde wig on your kid's head, and, depending on your political inclinations, add a set of pearls and a pantsuit or an oversized suit jacket and a tie. But as tempting as it might be to dress your kids up as President Donald Trump or even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, take my advice and opt for something a little less inflammatory on the ol' Halloween candy trail this year. Just as geisha girls, mariachis, and Indian chief costumes are in particularly poor (and racially-appropriating) taste, so too are political costumes when it comes to dressing up your kid for Halloween and here's why....

Better yet, nix HALLOWEEN altogether. It is anything but a happy holiday.
1. Little kids dressed as ghosts and witches gathering candy door-to-door
2. Teens (who should know better) still going door-to-door for candy using intimidation and threats of egging/TPing for those who don't cough up the goods
3. Twenty-somethings that dress in sexy costumes hooking up in bars
4. Older sophisticates attending snooty costume balls
5. A satanic ritual which is one of the main reasons the US is careening toward Hell (at least as viewed in the minds of Fundamentalist "Christians")
OMG it is funny and Freeper friendly.
Woe to anyone who dared to wear an 0bama clown mask, like that rodeo clown who learned the hard way. Never mind that every President at least as far back as LBJ were made fun of in such a fashion. I remember when the Nixon clown masks came out, in 1968, and especially in 1972 when the Watergate fiasco was coming to light. The novelty stores could barely keep up with the demand.
Amen!
I ran a homeless veteran program out of the YMCA in the late 1980’s. One thing that every room I entered had in common was a Satanic Bible on the bedstead.

Darn - I though that one was going to end up with them at my door as well!

Friday the 13th (October, 2017)
But not police officers? How queer.
And the gay friendly Village People costumes are right out, can't dress as a bad ol' police officer or American Indian.
Leather boy with splash guard is still ok, though.
All Hallows Eve or Eve to All Saints Days.
>>It’s one thing to bring your kid to a rally or a protest but it’s something else entirely to use your kids to make a political statement.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The Left was okay with little kids with pro-abort signs and P-word signs at the “womyn’s march” this year.
The Left is okay with little kids at gay pride supremacist marches even when those kids have a look of sheer revulsion at seeing some old homo’s junk hanging out.
>>Think of it this way: Would you dress your kid up as a klansman for Halloween and if you did, how do you think that would be received in your neighborhood?
It may be in poor taste but a Klansman costume would be scary, wouldn’t it? Doesn’t sound like a celebration of the notorious Democrat goon squad.
Mafiosos show up in costume, I don’t think their antics as portrayed in the movies of Hollywood are anything to emulate either.
And witches/wiccan/Satanists/Satan/devils?
Put on a red hat and see if people are scared of you.
A satanic Bible?
what exactly is that?
I am not familiar.
