In the sense that I am going to teach my son that neo-conservatism is wrong and also that authoritarianism is wrong I suppose I will be bringing up my child with my political philosophy since the alternatives to those leaves little room for anything else but being a slightly liberal moderate democrat.
The parties could change though. I think if the republicans clean house of the crazies and realize that some social organization of society's functions is a good thing that they could be the better party.
As long as the republicans accept and entertain the desires of fundamentalism then I will strongly teach my children that the republicans as a party are evil. The caveat will be though that they are not evil because they are republicans though but rather the people they choose to associate with and the ideas they choose to espouse.
In the end, I hope to teach my son that it is not the label that matters but rather what you do and teach. In the future, the evil party MAY actually be the democrats. In certain ways it also is evil today but simply MUCH less evil than the republicans. This of course is based on what I consider evil so my opinion is entirely subjective.

Of course, biblical creationists are committed to belief in God's written Word, the Bible, which forbids bearing false witness; --AIG (lest they forget)
