People with children shouldn’t be allowed to live in places with lots of heat or cold. There’s a potential for heatstroke and hypothermia. Heaven forbid dehydration or severe frostbite. We must protect against all potential danger. For the children.

Do you support seat-belt laws for children?

Do you support CPS taking children away from parents who are alcoholics and have DUIs with children in the car? Be honest.

Seatbelts go both ways. They can save lives & sometimes they are the problem. While I belted mine in, I wasn’t especially giddy when it became a government mandate.

And CPS is a joke. In many places it’s a very broken system. If they’re going to “baby snatch” it better be for a good reason. They generally can’t find their own behind with both hands & a map. These situations should be handled case by case and not with the broad brush (or iron fist) you want to use. Otherwise we’re going to wind up like other countries interfering in their citizens lives by removing children who are overweight. If that’s the way you want to live try another country. There are plenty of them. I firmly believe the government has NO business interloping into the private lives of its citizens.

This whole “for the children” blathering is nothing more than a mantra used by liberals to shut down any argument that isn’t in line with their own agenda.

Get out of our living rooms. Get out of our cars. Get out of our lives. It’s our obligation to raise our children. It’s yours to raise your own. People with your mindset need to mind your own business. You would be surprised how busy that will keep you.
