Foster care could be wrenching for Texas sect children

SAN ANGELO, Texas (AP) The 437 children taken from the polygamist compound in West Texas are being scattered to group homes and boys' and girls' ranches across the state, plunged into a culture radically different from the community where they and their families shunned the outside world as a hostile, contaminating influence on their godly way of life.

……………………………………………………………..

Government agency, CPS, oversteps its bounds. CPS decides what is right and wrong for your children. Remind anyone of 1984?

Clearly, marrying underage women and polygamy is against the law and should be prevented. But taking these children, who are ahead of their mainstream peers in education and manners, away from their mothers is another issue. On what basis does the CPS take these children away from their mothers and from their homes?

…………………………………………………..

Dr. Bruce Perry, a child psychiatrist who testified for the children last week, said FLDS children may be easily taken advantage of by outsiders because of the strict control church leaders have had over their daily lives.

People who have left the sect "felt emotionally incapable of decision-making," he said.

Do you think that a psychiatrist’s opinion on something as subjective as emotional capability to make decisions is a good basis for taking away these children from their mothers? If you think it is…don’t be surprised when a psychiatrist comes to CPS with evidence that conservative children are incapable of making decisions. It wasn’t too long ago that the UC Berkeley psychology department came out with a study showing that children that grew up to be conservatives were mal-adjusted and isolated individuals.

Am I on a slippery slope? You would have been called crazy years ago, if you thought that smoking in the street could be outlawed in a CA town (Calabasas), but it is. Laws are becoming stricter. The nanny state is growing. To liberals, just not voting for a Democrat is enough evidence of incapability of making decisions. And as you know, liberals only care about choice when it comes to killing babies. Just don’t say you weren’t warned.

NEW YORK (Associated Press) - "U.S. lawmakers called for a federal review of Florida tomato picker wages and greater oversight of worker conditions during a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, questioning claims by an industry group that the workers earn an average of $12.50 an hour.

Based on this quote, I find two things. One, Obama wants you to envy the wealthy. He thinks that if you envy the wealthy, that you will vote for him because he is Robin Hood. He will steal from the rich and give to the poor. Go Obama Hood! So much for acting like a Christian. Envy is a sin Obama. And this isn’t a one time slip-up. Promoting envy is a way of life for Obama.

The second is that he believes that American’s should live in a world with no risks. He thinks we can just spread out the wealth by taking away the rights of successful, honest Americans. Sorry Obama. Your utopia has been tried. It was called the Soviet Union and it collapsed. Others have tried it too. They were called cults. I’m not drinking the kool-aid Obama. Just say “no” to Obama.

First we heard that Elton John and Hillary Clinton were blurring the lines on new campaign finance laws. They were laws unfortunately championed by my man, McCain, and also supported by Clinton. His contributions blurred the lines because he is a foreign contributor in an American campaign for which American freedom of speech has been challenged under the guise of “campaign finance reform” that limits the amount of money honest, hardworking individual Americans can contribute to their candidate of choice. (Surprising, liberals are only pro-choice when it involves killing babies.)

Now we are hearing this classic liberal complaint from Elton John:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – “British pop star Elton John, playing a fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton in New York on Wednesday, said he was amazed at the misogyny of some in America and he hoped that wouldn't stop her being president.”

Liberals can be so narcissistic. They think that the only reason someone would disagree with them is because they are sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, racist, or otherwise bigoted. Well I have a message for you…

I would vote for a Gay Woman of Mexican heritage….if she were a Conservative Republican.
