Mary Mancini of Liberadio chides Republicans for not actually being “the party of ‘family values’”

Dispelling the popular belief that the GOP is the party of “family values,” the Washington Post reports that “Republicans began targeting key programs for budget cuts yesterday, from student loans and health care to food stamps and foster care.”

Cuts to Foster care? Un-cared for children with nowhere to go? It appears that the Conservative formula for supporting family values and a healthy society goes something like this:

1) Do not allow the public schools to educate children about human sexuality, respect for their bodies, safe sex, and birth control. If you don’t talk about it, the kids won’t do it.
2) Legislate against a woman’s right to control her own medical care, including the right to terminate an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy
3) Cut funding to help raise the children that result from #1 and #2.
4) Implement massive tax cuts to ensure that their wealthy and well-cared for children stay wealthy and well-cared for.

Brilliant!

Yes, brilliant. It’s like a bad Guinness commercial… so, the answers to GOP insensitivities are apparently are 1) more socialism, and 2) unmitigated sex. That’s at least what #1, 2, and 3 require. Number four is yet another oft repeated liberal falsehood and not worthy of note.

That’s right, folks. If the federal government isn’t holding your hand from cradle to grave, you’ve been screwed!
