Meet 17 year old Julian Douglas. Charged withe murdering 53 year old Gary Secone.
Once again, no mention of a daddy in the story. Maybe if Julian had one, he wouldn't be looking at a life time in prison.
You know... as a conservative, it would go a long way if liberals could just own for once that Julian here is a product of the welfare state. After all, once welfare allowed a families to exist without fathers, guess what? They did. And Julian here is going to pay the price.
Once we can all agree on the fact that welfare has caused a disintegration of the family, we can really start to look at things that might help keep families together and kids like Julian here out of the penal system.
My father was far from perfect, but I know my life was so much better for having him in my home than without. You could ask my friends growing up if they would have preferred having their fathers in the home, except you can't. They are now dead. My guess is, they would have agreed.

Do you mean who's his daddy?
One thing I've always asked my liberal friends: Do you ever expect the welfare state to succeed? And if so how will we know we've reached that goal and can declare that it is no longer needed. Half openly say it will never succeed. The other half say they don't know when. That's one of the biggest problems. It is not designed to succeed.
It is no more than a giant money pit. Into one end society is forced to throw untold financial resources. On the other end comes out uneducated, drug-addicted sperm-donating criminals. The liberal solution to such failure is to just (have us) pay for more of it.
Before we spend one more dime on these blunt social instruments, society needs to wake up at the voting booth and force our politicians to spell out the pass/fail criteria of their proposals. If they fail, cut them off. They aren't doing anybody any good, and they hurt the most against the people that they are designed to help.
