Sorry, no room for the BARF alert in the title line

Currently, millions of American children are without health insurance, millions are reported abused and neglected, millions are left unsupervised everyday after school, and millions have parents in a prison system that is crushing families.

And I would say that overwhelmingly children that fall into those categories are living in large urban areas almost exclusively under BLUE control!

Another article about this book was posted a couple weeks ago. I am not being a dupe thread Nazi but I did want to point out a discrepancy in the articles. The link above has my home state, Nebraska, listed as a blue state that was in the "top 10" in the article. I disputed that in a post because Nebraska is about as far from a blue state as you can get. Nebraska has not voted for a Dem for president since FDR. It looks like this article may have a more accurate top 10 listing.

I just downloaded it,

It's all one big LIE

They state that 24.6% of Texas children are ininsured.

What about C.H.I.P.S.?

I can tell you unequivocally, if the blue counties in Mississippi were removed, Mississippi would be in the top ten of healthy youths. Jackson and the Delta up to Memphis have the problem that drags the entire state down....diversity has its downside...

Blue’ states tend to tax themselves at significantly higher levels, which makes it possible to reach more children and families with beneficial health, social and education programs. ‘Red’ states overwhelmingly are home to decades-long adherence to anti-government and anti-tax ideology that often runs directly contrary to the needs of healthy children and stable families.”

-----

I have never seen high taxes equated with stable families before. Low taxes give moms the opportunity to stay home and actually supervise their children after school - something that significantly reduces the rate of teen drug abuse and pregnancy. Further, a parent home after school helps children to do better in school. High taxes don't help kids with their homework.

Most of the Red states mentioned have a high minority population (ironic since most of the youths this article refers to are probably future Democrat voters).

They left the children that are in pieces in the trash out of the survey in the Blue states didn't they?
