"Life isn’t fair."

But parents have an absolute moral duty to pass on their cultural achievements to their children!

Homosexual marriage means they have to make the advantage of your own mom and dad raising you disappear.

Pretty soon it will be politically incorrect to read anything but “Jimmie has 2 daddies” for a night time story. Or we’ll have to log our kids on for the national broadcast of “Little Red Progressive and the Big Bad Conservative”

“Should parents snuggling up for one last story before lights out be even a little concerned about the advantage they might be conferring?”

No.

My children are grown, but I dare ANYBODY to come to me and tell me what I can and cannot do to improve the life of my child. These cockroaches need to be need to be stepped on and eradicated from the public discourse. This is not an idea or an opinion, it is a threat!! and one that will NOT be tolerated!!!

It’s beyond time to give these Leftists the boot. Their cockamamie torqued brain substitutes don’t function like the real thing.

STOP the experiment!

We’re giving credence to a mentally ill Maoist ape. British academic Adam Swift should be hunted down, knocked out and thrown on a freighter sailing one-way to North Korea.

I heard Rush talking about this today and was incensed that this whole discussion might be a serious consideration. I thought for sure we were being setup with a hoax.

The fact is, this WND article is a bit of hyperbole. If you read the abc.net.au article you will find that these guys are - in the end - NOT actually recommending that parents stop reading to their children.

Are they lefty socialists? Yes. Was the whole discussion an exercise in pop-culture psychobabble? Yes. But IMO, Rush’s portrayal was over the top.

I felt like I was played...

We need another World War. It’s the only way to end this bullshit.
