Attacking A Child

Those of us that remember the early days of the Clinton administration also remember Limbaugh calling Chelsea a dog on numerous occasions. I'm actually surprised it took him this long to go after Obama's children.



Conservatives really do have a problem with children. Not just children of Democratic parents - though the most vile levels of hatred are reserved specifically for them - but even of children from Republican homes. They don't see children as free thinking individuals that are able to gather information and learn from it. They see children as faceless simulacrums that should conform to the canted view of the world that all conservatives see.

When I hear people like Limbaugh ( who thankfully doesn't have any children ) or Michelle Malkin and Glenn Back ( both of whom have multiple children ) I often fear for the intellectual safety of these kids. What is their home life like? What is discussed at the dinner table? Are they so sheltered and withheld from the world that they struggle through their lives as they get older?

I can recall being a Senior in high school and still being quite naive to many aspects of life. This was due to the fact that I lived in an excruciatingly sheltered conservative household. I think that gives me a pretty good idea of what these kids are going through, and it's painful to think about.

Exit question: Considering that Limbaugh has now embarked upon his 4th marriage, how long will it be before the new "Mrs. Rush" decides to end the charade and make off with 50% of the conservative leader's goods? And if it comes to that, how is Rush going to react on his program? The betting pool starts now.
