I am sick to death of the misthinking that throwing more money at people who refuse to be responsible will make them more responsible. Sterilization is an option for people who make more than one “mistake.” I might be willing to use tax dollaars for that.

Individuals matter. Groups don’t. Santorum has drank too much DC tap water.

Big government is the problem and not the solution.

I have always liked Santorum, but you’re correct. He’s gone off the deep end. If the gov’t wanted to promote 2 parent families, it would stop playing Daddy by supporting children, and let the mothers marry the father, return to their own parents for help, have an abortion, or not get pregnant in the first place.

You do realize that Santorum is not proposing the big-government solutions in the ONE LINE that you excerpted. HE’S SAYING THAT BIG GOVERNMENT IS A BAD THING.

Is there ANYONE left on this forum who is not a complete moron like smokey?

Is there ANYONE left on this forum who can read at even a fifth grade level?

What a parade of idiots on this thread, starting with its originator.

Actual article title is, "Policies that boost fathers are needed."

If this thread title can be edited it would help.

Did you read the same article that everyone else did? Are you sure you read it?

Talk about a fifth grade reading level...

Maybe you can have someone read it to you.

Thank you for your compliments. Obviously you can't even read the FR policy against personal attacks.
