More compassionate conservatism

Senator Kennedy has proposed an amendment to bush’s stupid bankruptcy bill. But of course the republicans vote against it.

''The bankruptcy courts are filled with cases of hardworking single mothers who were pushed over the financial brink because they failed to get the child support they deserve. Yet this bill would only tighten the screws, looking to squeeze out a few more dollars for the credit card companies.'' - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, author of an amendment addressing single parents.

1. According to most repubs - single parents deserve their fate.

If they were better people they would still be married. Or better yet, they shouldn't have had kids if they couldn't afford to keep them.

As Jesus said, "Fuck the poor. They're poor for chrissakes."

(Revised Beatitudes from the Post-9/11 bible.)

5. I thought about that, but was worried people might not get it.

I need to quit misunderestimating my colleagues on this site.

3. Ahh yes. The Compassionate Conservative Pro-Lifer

If you are single and pregnant, they are with you and they support you.

But they really don't give a shit.

If you decide to get an abortion because you can't afford to raise the baby and you don't want it to have a horrible life, then you are a murderer.

And if you give birth and give the baby up for adoption, they will be happy to adopt it... ... ...as long as it is healthy and white.

And if you give birth and decide to raise the baby yourself, well, then you are a whore, a bad parent, and you deserve to live in poverty.


Aren't these people something?
