Marriage solves all social ills

[Libra]

At least, that's what the Bush Administration seems to think

Well... color me speechless.

Is anyone as disturbed by this notion as I am?

 

[Libra]

wait just a minute... this explains everything.

Rock on, Dubya.

Bush should support marriage rights for gays ASAP then

I just have to say I really &quot;misunderestimated&quot; what a doofus this illegal squatter in the White House is.


Conservatives can just save the rhetoric as well, because I am not a liberal, as the vocal ones just love to claim. At least I have a clear conscience, I didn't elect....err, wait, he wasn't elected.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Dubya flashin' the horns!

No doubt... their focus does seem to be on preserving the paternal presence in a household, no? Why shouldn't two dads be twice as good as one!

I especially enjoyed the rather provincial attitude that seems to suggest all one parent households are lead by single women. Further, that those women could be bought with small cash payouts to remain in marriages that would otherwise fail.

I feel like we're being governed by Darryl and Darryl.

I was being facetious. Next time I'll indicate my meaning with the [kidding][/kidding] tags.

What I find really amusing in the article is this:

Observers agree that only a handful of states have made any attempt to meet the goal of promoting marriages that was explicitly stated in the 1996 welfare law, or to use the flexibility Congress gave them to spend welfare funds for reducing out-of-wedlock births.

'96 was still Clinton-era ;D

And the above is not meant as a support or criticism of the Clinton or Bush administrations and/or their policies.

Perhaps you've watched a little too much Jerry Springer and have mistaken the actors on that show for real people with real issues in their lives. I think it's reasonable to say that most women do not need a DNA test to prove the paternity of their children.

The notion that payment of cash subsidies to women to possibly salvage a failed marriage is abhorrent, invasive, and irresponsible. It also absolves the men involved from culpability for the dissolution of marriages in which children are a party. What a disgrace.

If you were being as sarcastic as your text seems to indicate, I shudder to imagine how someone could be so clueless about the nature of life in the larger world.

I reckon we'll still have &quot;domestic disputes&quot;, eh?

 

[StageLeft]

Somebody *cough, bush administration, cough* needs to get their heads out of their asses.

Hey now instead of a battered woman leaving a marriage she has financial incentive to stay. Horay!!
