Children is our future.

This is exactly what the left wants. They have destroyed the incentives of being a family and replaced it with Child Support that enriches the government through their own twisted laws of the Bradley Amendment Title IV-D. There is no reason a man would want to be in a captive relationship where a woman can take everything he has worked for, or vice versa. This is a sick and twisted world we are in now. I hope to god that it swings back to normalcy sometime in the future.

Yeahright

Just what the Democrats wanted. Get rid of the old and In with the new America. We can not have those old family values cluttering up the place can we?
