That is the title of a book I've read about these "maternity homes" that took place after World War 2. Like Bethany Christian Services and other services that serve single expecting mothers with a Christian, right wing agenda, those maternity homes sound awful like these "service centers." They were popular enough back then that the Salvation Army actually had maternity homes. Fortunately, due to legal battles, financial troubles, and cultural change, these maternity homes were ultimately eliminated and abandoned. However, the damages done between separating mothers from their children was completed. These service centers are another incarnation of these homes. Using God as an excuse of their behavior and justification of their practices (when clearly they do the opposite), it comes to no surprise that Bethany Christian Services and others like them gets such bad recommendations with the exception of right wingnuts. Their company is most definitely corrupt in acting as judgement as to who would make good parents. Clearly, Christian automatically means good parents. I often wondering if they decide factors based on race (is white good?)and financial status (can they afford to take cruises?)as well for children. I see them trying to form perfect families in order to recruit for their church or even worse, recruiting for conservative groups of extreme right wing ideologies. I do not see anything good coming out of this and wouldn't be surprised if places like Bethany Christian Services have numerous lawsuits filed against them later on. Not just by parents, but by the children who could very well want to know their origins later in life. I highly doubt Bethany Christian Services is rich enough to keep lawyers coming in and out on a consistent basis.
I am going to go to Ashley Dupre when it comes to Ethics. At the end of the article on the NY Post online, there is her single that she is promoting. It's pretty obvious from the single why she wasn't successful in her music career and had to turn to girls gone wild and prostitution. Ashley Dupre technically does have a point, but the problem is that is places ALL women into having the same desires and needs as her, completely unaware that there are ways to make money aside from whoring. She is hardly the everyday woman or girl next door she makes herself to be and she definitely doesn't represent me as a woman.
my daily bucket o' crazy. I would feel even more relax if there weren't idiots who take crazy man Beck literally.
I honestly didn't know who Tucker Max was until this year when Gawker mocked the hell out of him (to which I agree with Gawker). I place Tucker Max in the same category as Joe Francis (creator of Girls Gone Wild). Both are self-serving guys who do shady things in order to get girls. In short, they're douchebags. Tucker Max has to use alcohol in order to get laid. The man is a proven loser. And sorry, but I prefer not to listen or waste my time with the loser species. The man is not worth anyone's time.
I heard some of the more explicit parts of the conversation and should have changed the radio for my health. It is just gross coming from his mouth. At least porn has prettier people in it so it's more pleasant to watch. The last paragraph pretty much sums up how much of a scumbag Duvall is and how much humiliation that pasty fat f**k deserves. Good riddence.
is an asshole. Now we can all do what he did to Obama and heckle him. Wilson, STFU.
Seriously. I am repeating some legendary words in response to your posts. "We are all made dumber by your response. You are awarded no points and may God have mercy on your soul."
So clearly, people must love that assh**e Joe. Oh yeah, the dog won't be muzzled but his bark is really, really weak. Republicans are just gross nowadays anyway.
I was watching some footage and it didn't look like 2 million at all. But it wasn't a bad turnout of crazy wingers (nearly all white too) either. Wingers that seriously need some education judging from the mixed messages toward their rich insurance gods and against the bad man Obama.
Glenn Beck was once a horrible top 40 DJ, and was crap at it. He is a HUGE drug addict by his own admission, and also admits to being diagnosed ADHD, hence the manic and age inappropriate behavior. He is playing the people for fools, and it is hilarious to see how many follow him. He also converted to Mormonism, complete with its history of slaves in heaven, child brides and magic underwear, which in and of itself disqualifies him from any claim to legitimacy. He, like most of Fox's entertainers, are paid shills doing the bidding of Roger Ailes, which would be like today's reality stars tomorrow posing as financial experts on Bernie Madoff's financial channel.

Hank007 pretty much has it down. I honestly don't get how people can take Beck seriously considering he was a radio DJ and a drug addict and then all of sudden he find religion and he's an expert at conservatism? Damn, that an insult on actual conservative intellectuals. His followers say he tells the truth...um...okay. It's more like he's feeding into people's fears and then using it to further his own useless agenda. Oh and I like how he didn't even show up at his own rally last weekend either. Cleon Skousen and Glen Beck can both f**k themselves.
She definitely has persistence, but oh is she funny. This cheers me up from the Joe Wilson bull. I can't wait till she gets to the point where EVERYONE is a traitor to the U.S. except her. Some people just never learn.
