We hear a whole lot about doing what is right for our children and grandchildren, and that the only ones who seem right for that job vote Republican, are Evangelical, believe in Creationism, laugh at global warming, and want the Government out of our homes. We hear a lot about Jesus's intent, his purpose for mankind, and a whole lot of interpretation of the Bible though the eyes of church leaders who bask in the sunlight of churches ornate and built on the dollars of the lemmings who think they to can buy their way into God's good graces.
Aways first to denounce Gay's getting married, or raising children, or pushing for illegal aliens to be stockaded and fenced in and have their children go back to their parents country, wanting to defy health insurance to the poor or unemployed, those who spew Family Values as if they owned them all just love to horde Family Values for themselves and just refuse to permit anyone else to claim value for their families.
And those purveyors of hypocrisy are always loudest when protesting anything that sounds like social change supporting political candidates who pride themselves in racism, homophobia, anti semitism and those candidates who want the rich to remain rich while the poor just fade into the sunset.
You can be a candidate whose family values disappeared while you were cheating on your spouse, with your kids at home, having one two or three affairs, but as long as when you are caught doing so, you repent and (swear you are a fallen lamb), but you also throw in some barbs against homosexuals, abortion doctors, and anyone who thinks science trumps the New Testament. Family Values seem to stay intact as long as you hate the same way as those who think they own Family Values.
Once again, unemployed Americans are facing the sad prospect that their long term unemployment checks may not arrive in time to pay the bills. Just before the Holiday Season (and the Family Values groupies like to refer to it as the Christmas Holiday after all there is no separation of church and state for Christians), the Republican/Tea Bag Politicians want to deny anyone on unemployment the opportunity to receive their checks. According to many of the talking heads of the Republican/Tea Bag millionaire politicians unemployment checks are incentives for people to remain unemployed. By receiving those checks, it makes a statement to most and or many stay home don't work, Uncle Sam will take care of you. The same Politicians who created the recession, who fueled the flames of unemployment, who raised the incomes for the very wealthy, want no blame for the situations they created.
And the families whose parents are unemployed, out of work, receiving little to no income, will no longer be able to support their families. If there is less money, no money how do they feed, house and take care of the health of their children and their grandchildren?
So where are all the Family Values groups now? Where is their up roar, the one they use to save the Institution of Marriage, the one they use to stop the repeal of don't ask don't tell, the one they use fight Obama Care, the one they use rallying against abortion doctors? Where is the vehement, virulent, violent rhetoric they use to claim ownership to Family Values when real families, face the prospect of depression, financial ruin, and hardships? Isn't their mantra "it's for the children"?
It is no where to be heard or seen because those who say they are the owners of Family Values have none, lie, and only shout down anything that comes from Democrats. As long as their soul mates the Republicans/Tea Bag hooligans are insisting unemployment insurance is bad for America those Family Values groupies will remain deafeningly silent.
Family Values seem to be touted and shouted by people who say they know what is right and what is wrong. Bullshit, that is all it is for if they were true to their words they would be protesting in the streets demanding that the parents of of the children and the grandchildren be paid immediately and receive their unemployment checks even as little as they are.
When are people who know the value of family going to lay claim and take back the ownership of real , genuine Family Values? When?
