Republican Councilman calls for Sterilization of "Bad Parents"

[walldude]

Just in case you you thought we haven't quite went off the deep end yet...

"What we've got is a failure in society, whether it's in Mount Pleasant with yuppie parents or whether it's on the East Side with poor crackhead parents," Shirley said Friday. "We pick up stray animals and spay them. These mothers need to be spayed if they can't take care of theirs. … Once they have a child and it's running the streets, to let them continue to have children is totally unacceptable." Deadbeat dads might ought to be sterilized as well, he said"

1. Y'know, he might actually be on to something, but only if there were

some way we could retroactively sterilize Pops and Bar.

2. "But we'll give pedophiles and parents who look the other

way about Republican pedophiles a pass," he added.

3. How about the fundies who have 16 kids???

:crazy: :think:

Isn't that a form of pollution?

[PDJane]

7. Yes.

And the US is the only developed nation where the birthrate is growing....goes along with that thing about the high acceptance of biblical truth, I guess.

4. Small government Republicans

Perhaps the Democrats should be the Small Government party as long as the government is controlled by nutjobs like this.

5. Well, at least he had the good sense to

add the *Dads* in there... What an asshat.

Something I always like to point out - women can bring a child into the world approximately one time a year, whereas men can can contribute an untold number of offspring in the same time period. Just sayin'

9. Why use this post to take a cheap shot at men?

The post had nothing to do with men/women, it was made to show the true nazi tendancies of the republicans. I'm getting tired of having to defend myself on DU because of my gender.

[TAPat]

10. Not my intention to take a shot, least of all a

cheap one - sorry for any misunderstanding.

[walldude]

11. Cool.. I might be a little oversensitive on this issue

there has been a lot of male bashing on DU lately.... :toast:

[cynatnite]

13. Well, take this...

:spank:

and like it, dang it!

:hi:

14. Only if you promise to kiss me afterwords...

:P ;-)

6. OK, a Republican openly advocating eugenics

Can we call them Nazis yet?

[PDJane]

8. Yes.

[Waya]

12. Oughta 'spay' all Neo Con Repubs and their followers.....

.....stupid people shouldn't breed.

What the hell year is this? 1936?

[Democrats_win]

15. Biggest lie: I'm a Republican & I'm here to make gov't smaller. BS!

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. What's really frightening is that these people get elected.

I imagine this wannabee Himmler thinks himself a "success".

[Bonhomme Richard]

17. Let'start with those registered republican.

Yeah, I could go for that.

[Bozita]

18. ...and let's have Homeland Security pick out the bad parents

Any disputed cases go off to the FISA courts.

[midnight]

19. Lets start with that republican from Florida. Mr. Foley.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. Someone should ask him why he's in the party that wants to ban the pill.

Sure, if people want to voluntarily practice birth control, that's not okay, huh?

[goddess40]

21. Too late for Babs though nt

[Hubert Flottz]

22. A classic Nazi Solution...
