How conservatives raise their children

When a boy who looked no more than 10 years old repeatedly screamed “Take the bitch down” at each invocation of Hillary Clinton’s name at a Donald Trump rally in Ashburn, Virginia on Tuesday, his yells landed like a thunderbolt.

Most responses to the journalists’ tweets focused on the indecency of the boy’s tongue, the misogyny of his chosen epithet, and the disrespect he communicated for a public figure many decades his senior. Many faulted the boy’s mother, who identified herself as Pam Kohler of Mount Vernon, a community in Fairfax County, Virginia about 45 miles from Ashburn. Kohler defended her son’s “right to speak what he wants” to the Los Angeles Times’ Noah Bierman and attributed his choice of words to “Democratic schools.” (It is unclear what precisely constitutes a “Democratic school,” given that the Virginia General Assembly, which apportions education funding and passes laws related to schools, is currently controlled by Republicans.)

On Wednesday, the New York Times published a roundup of raw footage exploring the “angry and provocative ways” in which Trump supporters have made their voices heard at campaign events across the country. Laced among barbs aimed at “dirty beaners,” “political correctness,” Islam, and “fags,” the b-word stands out. “Hang the bitch,” says one attendee. “Hillary needs to get her ass spanked,” intones another, outside the field of view. A young man flashes a thumbs up, displaying a t-shirt that reads “TRUMP THAT BITCH” on the front and “HILLARY SUCKS BUT NOT LIKE MONICA” on the back. “Trump the bitch,” says one female rallygoer (yes, they exist). “Hillary is a whore,” comes the call, a man’s voice this time. Another “TRUMP THAT BITCH” sign. “Kill her.”

One hopes the young man who made his voice known at yesterday’s Trump rally—bathed, perhaps, in the therapeutically feminist glow of a Hillary Clinton presidency—will grow to become a sensitive adult who talks to and about women with respect. But for the time being, it’s no small wonder he’s not. After all, he’s looking up to his elders—the loudest of whom, it’s worth remembering, has a 10-year-old son of his own. And he’s just one voice in the crowd."

We certainly read enough on here about how badly liberals raise their kids, don't we. So let cons see what it's like when an entire group is smeared because of one insufferable brat and his clueless mother.

The really disappointing thing, his mother's comments on the situation.

My child would have been in a great deal of trouble for such public displays of disrespect. A 10 year old child has no business using such language.

Respect is earned. The bitch has yet to do that.

That is absolute rubbish, a 10 year old child should respect every adult, adults should not have to earn a child's respect. Now there are circumstances where that respect can be lost, but claiming an adult should earn a child's respect is a recipe for disaster.

I hope you didn't raise your children that way, but then, again, maybe that is what is wrong with society, this very scary idea that adults need to earn children's respect.
 
A few of the comedy shows did interviews of the delegates at the RNC, egads there's no hope for America. Is it homeschooling or simply the level of dialogue on our media today that has created this dumb America? My wife has taught for over thirty years and she along with lots of teachers say the students get dumber and more obnoxious every year. But I was listening to some of the Bernie supporters and they too were obnoxious and over the top stupid. Look at it this way in what world can one imagine Donald Trump as president?

"A recent political cartoon in the Kansas City Star depicts a newborn Barack Obama playing with a hammer and sickle in his crib. A billboard looming over the interstate near Fort Riley, Kansas, conveys a similar message, describing the president as a “Wannabe Marxist Dictator.” As it happens, the billboard was paid for by a Colorado-based commodity broker—but when she picked that spot as the place to proclaim her dementia to the world, her instincts were right on the money. Kansas is the burned-over district of conservatism, and these days the unholy spirit is sweeping through it yet again. The venomous reaction to Obama’s purported Leninism is hardly confined to the mass media. Over lunch with an officer of the Kansas Farmers Union who once publicly expressed his personal admiration for the president, I hear story after fantastical story of the state’s toxic political climate: relatives who have turned on this upstanding farmer, complete strangers who yell at him in the town café. The most disturbing tale involves an old, ailing friend whom the farmer visited on his deathbed: “As I was getting ready to leave, he looked up and said, ‘I told you Obama wasn’t worth a shit.’ You’d think he’d have other things to think about at that time.” That’s how powerful the collective hallucination is here in my home state: even deathbed philosophizing takes a back seat to that seductive dream of dictatorship resisted."

Kind of intererting Christi's assumption that all people at Trump's rally are conservatives.

That was my assumption? My assumption is that if a 10-year old is yelling "take the bitch down" he learned it at home. His mother attributed his language to the "Democratic schools", whatever that's supposed to mean.
