Conservative family values

Down on your luck? Don't look to the GOP for anything but being called an animal, undeserving of food.

==================
Meanwhile, down in conservative Texas

If you want to write children's books, but your name has similarities to someone who wrote about something that must be banned, like Marxism, don't bother trying to sell your children's books in Texas. They'll be banned by their board of education, just to be safe.

==================
So, now that the dubya rendition of conservative values is behind us, what are the ramifications that we're left to deal with?

"The pregnancy rate among teenage girls in the United States has jumped for the first time in more than a decade"

Unwed teenage pregnancies are up as a direct result of the "just say no" campaign to eliminate education on the taboo subject of sex. The conservative "abstinence only" approach seeks to minimize knowledge and precaution, and has only one potential outcome - more babies born to unwed teenage mothers. I don't know why the conservatives consider this a family value, but their plan is working as intended. Mission Accomplished.
