One of these days, you're gonna stick your nose into somebody's else's business and get it blown off.
If you have a problem with that, too bad.
You're completely off base on this one.
If an irresponsible parent chooses to allow their children to behave like Howard Dean in the privacy of their own home, it's not my concern.
We're talking about a failure to control the behavior of one's children in public.
Assuming personal responsibility for oneself ands one's prepubescent children IS a Conservative value.
Defending the irresponsible is not Conservative. It's not even Libertarian.
Are you sure that is the position you wish to support?
