I do indeed, and my family has prized that about this country for the nearly three hundred years we have been here. My views are not permitted to me by you; they're outside your control. And I'm by no means alone.

I have been here for some time, interested in conservative values in government containment and fiscal responsibility. I have never disguised the fact that most social conservative issues are not a reason to have Big Government. Sorry if that bothers you, and sorry if it bothers you that several people agree with me.

Rome had its patrician families. Not impressed.

That was precisely the point. You can live in your present state of denial, but America was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, and I have a feeling that is why your family has flourished for 300 years. I doubt Mohammed would be as kind.

Right.....but you conveniently leave out liberal mores as part of the package.

Sorry if that bothers you, and sorry if it bothers you that several people agree with me.

...oddly enough, the only thing I hear is crickets at the moment. I hope your friends haven't abandoned you.

Who has said anything about using gov't, Big or otherwise in this case?

Stop beating up strawmen.

We'd tell you the same thing. Don't we have the same right to expres our views, mainly that this is lamentable?

Linda, I'm finding your comments in favor of small government interesting here. Your position is that Mary Cheney's decision to use sperm from a presumably anonymous donor to have herself impregnated and raise her child together with her lesbian lover is none of our business. You also seem to hold the position that people should make these decisions free from not only government control but also from any open criticism.

So, I'm curious as to why you've made it your business to appear on homeschooling threads periodically to criticize us for our decision not to send our children to school. You become so indignant about the grammar in internet posts, yet a woman purposely having herself impregnated so that she can raise a child without the biological father is beyond reproach to you. Interesting.
