The Julia thing worked like a charm for them last time, so expect more of the same. Free Tampons are an agenda item too.

"Free cloth diapers..."

Sorry but they can't use safety pins, they are a choking hazard.

My babies had clothe diapers. When I could afford it I had a diaper service, when I couldn’t I washed them myself and yes, line dry. You do line dry in the sunlight because it bleaches out the poop. I did use some disposable diapers but they were expensive and not very comfortable back then. When i was caring for my granddaughter we used disposables though. Easier.

He probably got the idea from the problems they’re having in Venezuela as keeps a close eye on issues concerning socialist utopias.

If you are against this you hate children, women, and minorities. You are an infantiphobe hater.

Get everyone hooked on free stuff and the addict will always vote for the pusher. The country is screwed.

This does not surprise me.

A man filled with music will be concerned with music.

A man filled with ideas will be concerned with ideas.

And since Obama is full of shirt, he will be concerned with shirt.

And they will be filled with Obama.

Hopefully this time next year, the first WH aide or advisor that brings up anything like this at a meeting gets an immediate “You’re FIRED!”.

“Then there will be talk of the washing machine gap.”

That really is the truth.

Anyone that has had their washing machine break and wanted to wash a few things until you can get it fixed knows...there are no laundromats left. All have closed.

I’m sure the eco-twits somehow are involved in the reason they all closed. My guess is EPA regulations drove them out of business.

Something else that has disappeared lately is the quarter car washes? All have closed.
