    Two words here: Bull and Shit

    That is the hard part about being a conservative. We believe in taking responsibility for our mistakes and not forcing someone else (like a defenseless baby) to do so.

    -- ehillesum

    Yeah, cause God knows you'd NEVER do something like, say, start a groundless war and then pawn off the trillions in debt caused by said war to future generations. No, you'd raise taxes to pay for it responsibly and you'd bring back the draft, so everyone -- rich and poor -- would share the pain equally, right?

    By the way, how's that abstinence-only sex ed working out for you?

    And one more thing: The concern trolls who're saying to lay off poor Bristol when her mommy wants to stick the government's nose into everyone else's sexual business? Fuck right off (but responsibly of course, so you don't catch anything unwanted, like, say, an unplanned pregnancy).
