Get ready for the latest right-wing meme, my friends! Just now, Newt Gingrich on CNN made it a point to call on the White House to start up tours "for children." He isn't the only right-winger I have seen that makes it a point to talk about how stopping White House tours are "hurting the children." Brian Kilmeade on Fox & Friends this morning said that they wanted maximum pain so they say cut that off" when referring to the tours being ended.
This is such BS!
Who cares if a child born to a lower-income family has access to quality preschool education? That's "MIND CONTROL!"
Who cares if that child has access to health care? That's "SOCIALIZED MEDICINE!"
Who cares if that child's public school is failing apart? "HERE'S A VOUCHER!"
But no....If the White House temporarily suspends tours because of a manufactured crisis, which by the was brought on by CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS...that's "HURTING THE CHILDREN!"

(14,536 posts)You misunderstood what he said
He wanted the children to replace the cleaning staff. Those moochers need to scrub the toilets in exchange for a tour. I am not even going to repeat what the kids needed to do if they wanted to tour the capitol Building. All I can say is thank gawd Foley is gone.

(135,425 posts)Their little fingers are perfect to do fine, delicate labor that the ham-handed, sausage-fingered adults can't manage! They're only half the size of an adult, so they only deserve half the wage!!!
If only they could be forced to work a ten hour day, six days a week...like the good old days?
Do I need one of these?

Great Rant, my friend!
You will go far once you get through law school. We need your voice out there.

(966 posts)You're right...They are not "pro-life", they are "pro-unborn"....Once the child is born, they don't care how the quality of that child's life is.
And thank you for the compliment! I plan on being a vocal voice!!

(31,519 posts)They don't care if there is safe, adequate daycare and after school programs for those kids. They really don't care at all from the time they leave the womb until they enter the voting booth.
