Fathers disappear from households across America Big increase in single mothers
The Washington Times, LLC ^ | December 25, 2012 | By Luke Rosiak

Posted on 12/26/2012 7:50:30 AM PST by US Navy Vet

Nicole Hawkins‘ three daughters have matching glittery boots, but none has the same father. Each has uniquely colored ties in her hair, but none has a dad present in her life.

As another single mother on Sumner Road decked her row-house stoop with Christmas lights and a plastic Santa, Ms. Hawkins recalled that her middle child’s father has never spent a holiday or birthday with her. In her neighborhood in Southeast Washington, 1 in 10 children live with both parents, and 84 percent live with only their mother

No? No men on disability have ever purchased guns? No man has ever bought a gun using student loans? Using unemployment insurance? Using social security?

“The country went to h—l when they took the crank off cars and gave the vote to women”

I’ve been saying that for years!
But it would also mean a lot of Limp Wristers would have to learn to park headed downhill! :^}
Also park on a manure pile to have it warm in the AM.

They may have used government lagresse to purchase such weapons, but those funds are not specifically allocated for the purchase of more weapons. On the other hand, the funds allocated to crack whores squirting out babies is specifically allocated for crack whores to squirt out more babies.

The original question, from the poster I was responding to, asked the question, “Why do we let women vote?” My response (in the form of another, very vague, very ridiculous question) was to that very vague, very absurd question. Anything else is just fluff.

My point is: You question my right to vote because I’m female and you dislike the voting choices of some women, and I’ll fling it right back by questioning the choices some men make with guns.

You nailed it PERFECTLY. You ask them to do any sort of work which will keep them from talking, texting, stuffing their faces with junk food or walking out of the room w/o permission to wander the halls, you’ll see JUST how “nice” they are. You have to cajole them to do the work left for them by their teacher. And yes, they will “pass” their classes without doing very much work at all due to the tremendous pressure on teachers to pass any and all students.

You forgot to mention Lashanda, Lawanda, Laschmanda and her little sister Lalalalala.

Who needs “fathers” when you could have “Parent #1” or “Parent #2” or “Parent #3” or “Parental Unit ##”...

Coming soon to a place near you.

“I hate the term single mother’s as applied to women with children who have never married. I prefer sluts with kids.”

I hear you; they lump them with widows to prevent any judgment.

“White trash” applies as well (regardless of how wealthy they may be).

I am impressed that the “Maury Show” is even allowed to air; nothing could lower the opinion of blacks more than this show. As long as it is white libs making it (and making money from it) I guess it is OK.

I can’t believe there is not a massive outcry from serious blacks about shutting that crap down.

“We should make injectable contraceptive mandatory for all welfare programs”

End welfare. There is nothing constitutional about it; stealing from one to give to another.

Correct. The original post I originally responded to did mention voting. I used the generic form of “you” in my last response, which was to you specifically, and anyone else reading. I meant “anyone”, not “you” in that post. My point still stands, however.

There’s gotta be some Republican somewhere that we can blame for this....

Unfortunately, as much as I love Reagan, he signed no-fault divorce in California, setting the pace for the country.

LBJ knew that too; the Obama electoral map is what LBJ envisioned for his party’s long-term future. It just took longer to develop than LBJ would have expected. And I imagine that even he is surprised by those dense voters in VA. The way things stand now, the Demos have the electoral-vote “lock” that LBJ envisioned.

Reagan also gave us Sandra Day O’Connor, Anthony Kennedy, and King Day, all destructive to the country.

That show is still around? It made Springer look good. Some 18 year old had 8 dudes tested, and none of them were the sperm donor.

Let’s now forget the Draconian Child Support Laws that will throw a man in jail without due process and writ of Habeus Corpus. The State will deprive a man of his living, freedom and substance in the name of the child and create an environment of deadbeat/beat-dead dads. So when the father can’t find a job to pay his court ordered indentured servitude he goes to jail and the downward spiral begins. He is thrown in to the general pop with the true felons and rapist etc. Now when he gets out he is more of a criminal and less likely to interact with his offspring. I know of where I speak.
