Who Deserves A Flog Today?

Mr. Rick Sanctimonious (aka Santorum) receives the Flogging Whip for his continued anti-LGBT remarks which prove once more how ignorant the man can be with regard to, well, just about everything. It's not simply because I disagree with him; the ire erupts from ridiculous remarks such as this: Better Off Dead-Head Dad Than.... Sure, all children would benefit from dual parental influence - IF the influence is loving. The idea that the only way children can prosper in this world is to have two parents - male and female - is preposterous. There is no accurate way in which to count the many successful, happy and seemingly "normal" individuals in the world who have been raised by just one parent of either sex. However, it happens. Kids can grow up to be quite fine when treated with care. Two women or two men can raise a child just as well as the "typical" socially-accepted male-female models. And, if I may suggest something that Mr. Sanctimonious and his followers have neglected to view through their pint-sized eyes, has anyone thought about children who have been raised by two people of the same sex who were NOT lovers? Such as a single mother and her own mother? Or two sisters? Two brothers? A father and an uncle? And so it goes. 


Rant over - for now.

  1. Wow Shauna, Rick "Sanctimonious?" Throughout the history of your posts, you will give somebody you
    disagree with a pet nickname. Such as, Mega White Woman, John the Pain McCain, Mr. Orange Tears, Condo Lease Me Rice, Donald Trumpet Mouth, (these are taken from your actual posts)

    I guess you think that's cute, or clever, so be it. You're entitled to your own opinion.

    Of all of the conservative pundants that I listen to, I stopped listening to one of them,
    because he does the exact same thing. You of
    course referred to him as Drug Addled Gas Bag.
    Rush Limbaugh. Where's the civility that your
    President asked for after Gabby was shot?? John

  3. O.K....since I refuse to abandon your blog, I guess it's OK to start listening to Rush again. :) John

  4. Bravo to you, kiddo. No one pays attention to the reality of families that raise children with no second parent. Typical sludge thinking on S's part to pound the gay marriage on his podium. Deep down he might be a bigot on race.

  6. You're welcome Shauna. When I get up, usually at
    4:00 a.m. my cup of coffee and your blog are the first things these weary eyes see.

  7. Thanx again, John. BTW, don't let Rush blow too much smoke in your ears. I do enough to your eyes. Heh.
