Unable to cope with reality, he kills his wife and kids before turning the gun on himself. Or he just took his own life. What a goober. Conservative values caused this? You bet.

You must heal yourself before you heal others.
a partying teenage welfare mom being kicked out of her house in great britain is 'similar' to an allegedly conservative guy allegedly killing his family?

I don't agree with drugs. However, if she has a drug addiction can you imagine how hard that is to stop doing drugs? Also what happens if people are providing her with free drugs? She is surrounded by terrible people and it is hard to stop that lifestyle. I refuse to be judgmental because I don't know her circumstances at all. But, usually when people are that much into drugs it's because their lives have sunken so low and are deep into a pit. They need help from a healthy support group. It's really sad to hear of this actually.

Can't support her self, so lives on handouts, but somehow can manage to throw drug parties.

Does she have any responsibility for the poor choices she makes, or is it other people's fault?

I dunno about you, but when I was 12, I didn't have any idea what a one night stand was, let alone engaged in them.

Conservatives who say "liberals will do ..." are not worthy of conversation especially when a liberal tells them that it's not the case. The conservative proves themselves to be irrational, unable to take fact and apply it to their belief. There is no arguing with someone who "knows" things and ignores it when facts completely contradict what they "know".

I know of NO liberals who do this, only conservatives. Do conservatives think that the more they repeat the idea in the head, the more true it will become? Is that why FOX News and other forms of brainwashing are so successful?

Everybody knows the redder the state, the higher the rate of abortion, out of wedlock childbirth, and use of pornography. One could perhaps correctly assume that the conservative insistence that only liberals want 12 year olds to have sex is unsupported, right?

Why do conservatives make things up? Why do they define their enemy down to the last detail? Why do they ignore their mantra of personal responsibility (which would mean they too share in creating today's problems) by insisting--beyond all reason--that the problem is all due to liberals?

This adds what exactly? Why not ignore it if you have no counter argument?

If you see his constant rants on the DC forum, especially about the women in DC, you would not be surprised. He is a lonely guy.
