You are not Mary's Mother or Father. So you have no idea if she is causing any anguish on them. You are not them so you have no idea what they are thinking or feeling about this.

[little jeremiah]

So all the founding fathers were wrong and laws against, for instance, sodomy, public indecency, contributing to the delinqency of a minor, pornography, live sex shows and the like which were extant for the first 150 years of this republic were all wrong too.

IOW, the playboy philosophy and the ACLU are the ones who got it right, not Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and all those other dead white men.

Mary Cheney probably pays alot more in taxes than you do

I'll bet I work much harder than she does. Touche.

[SoothingDave]

Who has said anything about using gov't, Big or otherwise in this case? Stop beating up strawmen.

social conservatives just like a different brand of big government "the moral police state" is what I call it

Interesting. Now, show me where anyone here has said anything about using gov't, Big or otherwise?

Arguing against figments of your imagination may entertain you, but it doesn't substitute for reasoned discourse.

Mary Cheney is among that burgeoning group of adult women over age 20 that are driving the trend of women who don’t want a man in the picture, but want to have a baby

To be fair, the author should at least consider the possibility that adult men over the age of 20 are rejecting some of these women. Lesbians aside, many straight single women want to have children on their own. It's not necessarily the women who don't want a man in the picture - many of these are cases of men who don't want these women in the picture.

DING! DING! DING! Hold you calls, folks. There can not be a more stupider post than this.

You forgot to add that her Daddy's the Veep, so she's entilted!

[little jeremiah]

Is your life so boring that you have obsess about what other people (are saying about the homosexual agenda) are doing with theirs?

[Stone Mountain]

unless one of them is planning on giving up their career, this child will be raised, in effect, without either a true mother or father.

Both my parents worked. I don't feel that I was raised, in effect, without either a true mother or father. How insulting.

Shadow boxing; swinging at phantoms that don't exist. Sounds tiring.

[SoothingDave]

But I think this is a pretty solid family, and the baby born into it will be well provided for, both materially and emotionally.

Is money an adequate substitute for a father?

I'm interested in your book,but thanks for playing.

Gee, I thought being a Conservative meant not looking to the Government for everything.

I thought it meant letting people live their lives on their own as long as they aren't screwing with anybody else.

I guess you Big Government (so-called) "Conservatives" have taken over.

[little jeremiah]

LInda is one of the most disingenuous liberal trolls I've seen in a long time. I'm not pinging her to comments about her anymore since she is merely a troll.

[SoothingDave]

Yes, let us toss out reason and logic because you have managed to find insult.

Some parents both have to work just to get by. That's obviously not the case here, but tell me honestly: Do you think having both parents working is good for the children?

Who has suggested the gov't do anything? Is it impossible to express lament at who one considers improper and ill-advised behavior without simultaneously calling for gov't action?
Stop swinging at strawmen.

[linda_22003]

I didn't know it either, if it's any comfort to you.

[xsmommy]

Stop swinging at strawmen.

libertarians have real problems with that.

[zbigreddogz]

Is it impossible to express lament at who one considers improper and ill-advised behavior without simultaneously calling for gov't action?

In a public forum for political activism? Yes. The implication is clear.

[xsmommy]

oh good grief, conservatives decrying the decline of the popular culture MUST be screaming for armed insurrection until the gov't regulates against it. strawman.
