It sounds like you have issues with YOUR parents. The fact that your
parents abused you, in your eyes, is no reason to assume that all
parents abused their children.
I know some of you are challenged with following the facts, so....
please re-read for content. None of these fruities are my blood
kin..... nor did I ever say or imply so.....
You want to raise my children? Be careful what you ask for because you
are going to be facing some hefty college tuition bills soon. The older
one has eyes on a couple of ivy league schools.

I don't know what you are smoking, but I'm quite sure it isn't
labeled. When you sober up and can carry on a coherent conversation,
let me know.....

I thought you were in favor of the village raising the child? If the
village is going to raise the child then the village should want to kick
in for the full cost of raising the child.

Do you want the government or your neighbors telling you how to live,
how to raise your children, where to work, what to drive, what to wear
and what to think? You just can't let people live their own lives can you.

It takes a village doesn't refer to someone else taking responsibility
for your children. It says that other people look out for your kids
too. If you're indeed a parent, you know that friends and family can
help reinforce good behavior and goals when perhaps your voice isn't
heard as well.

Republicans like to use it to refer to the welfare state and mommy
government. Co-opting language is an old Republican trick.

Even funnier, BAR "thinks" no one is telling him what to think.
