so when the republican policy is in place, then the left doesn't complain hard enough to stop it. Again NOT a partisan issue.

Yep, because of their upbringing, they're guaranteed to be failures?
Single parent households tend to have a higher failer rating.

The comparison could not be worse. The Duggars are a responsible, law-abiding, self-supporting, two-parent family who have never been on welfare. They are not leeches and do not feel that it is anyone's responsibility to provide for their family except their own. A better comparison, if there is one to be made, would be the Octomom, who has 14 children, no husband and, if not on welfare already, will surely be eventually.

Some of the choice quotes:

Mother, 12 children leave motel for new home
Clearly this is a mental case!!!

I dont think that this woman represents the black community. I just think that she represents the entitlement crowd, who think that they deserve something for nothing and that everyone else owes her because she likes popping them out.

Education and life-skills programs? We have them. They're called schools and life skills programs. The one technicality is that people have to go to them and take them seriously.

No, I do not think she woke up one day and said, "I am going to have 15 (or is it the 18 you cite) children." I do not think she ever gave it that much thought. And that is frightening.

They say the Right is heartless, but is folks like you who really think these people are
