I remember back in the Clinton years, Rush talking about how ADD/ADHD was just some fancy liberal bullshit to coddle and enable kids that just needed more discipline, so some such ilk. Pissed me the hell off, as my nephew is ADHD, and it’s a very, very real thing. These kids are wired differently; they think differently, they behave and react differently. Autism is no different: it’s a very real thing. It isn’t some made-up horseshit used by parents caught flat-footed with a “spoilt” terror on their hands.

But the party of Personal Responsibiliy™ wants to punish both the kids and the parents, much like they want to punish pregnant women, and gay people, with their unscientific and wholly unsympathetic world views. Heck, if it makes sense to them, and stays between the narrow lines they’ve drawn, it’s all that matters.

Unless you want to terminate (read: kill! kill! kill!) or even prevent pregnancy, or if that “special” child of yours is up in front of one of Obama’s death panels, these women and children are of no use to the GOP. Nossir, they’re a burden. “Should’a thought a that before you fucked, so now you are fucked.” That’s the GOP mantra you can count on (unless that applies to protecting the environment, in which case the GOP’s dominionist view fits all sizes).

If I had a penis, people like Angle and Rush could suck it. Like, all day long. Since I don’t have one, they can kiss my white ass. My middle finger is just for them.
