POLITICS: Single Moms Are Destroying Sweet, Sweet Idaho

These days it is difficult to think about Idaho without conjuring up images of violent youth dashing madly through their towns and cities. And when one thinks of those violent youth, one will undoubtedly then think of the single mothers who raised them. It is simply the obvious conclusion, especially if you are a fucking moron.

Turns out the Idaho House of Representatives Family Task Force is chalk full of morons. Personally, I love a good Family Task Force. Family Task Forces are the bedrock of our society, without them we would just be a bunch of animals raping and killing each other.

Let’s meet them! The Family Task Force is made up of Rep. Dick Harwood, Rep. Janice McGeachin, Rep. Marv Hagedorn, Rep. Branden Durst, Rep. Dean Mortimer and Rep. Steven Thayn. Notice there is only one lady on the Task Force. That will make more sense as we continue.

Thayn is a true nut. He is a freshman lawmaker who raised eight kids on his farm. They were all home schooled and we can only imagine, not well adjusted. Thayn has some fantastic ideas about how things should be going in our country.

Last year he suggested that Idaho reduce school hours to four a day – to save money. Turns out, he is not big on school and you can read all about it on the website of The Committee of Correspondence, a group Thayn started. I have looked at it several times and I really don’t know what the fuck is going on. I did manage to learn that they hate school.

So fucking true. And that's not all.

Right on. Fuck mercy and screw education. Just thinking about them makes my blood boil – but only because the government is involved.

Then there is this email that Thayn allegedly sent out.

Hello. I have a new favorite douche bag to keep an eye on. This guy is a treasure chest full of jackassery. I believe I will be writing many more stories about Steven before my days at SG end.

Thayn is, not surprisingly, the Chairman of the Idaho House of Representatives' Family Task Force. They believe that drug abuse, crime and domestic violence are the result of families breaking down and they want to figure out a way to get mothers back in the home and out of the workplace.

Um, change the entire socio-economic structure of America? But they have found the perfect family to emulate: The 1950s American family. Although, Thayn does recognize it was not perfect.

Someone is speaking the truth. Not until the family can shed its human form, come together in a ball of pure energy and shoot straight up to the Lord will it have achieved its “full potential.” Right now, we are far, far away from that glorious day.

According to the task force, single parent homes (moms) are causing rates of drug use and crime to shoot up, though, people living out of wedlock and divorce are also to blame.

Right. It would only take one a couple of hours perusing the state budget to see that if there were less divorces in Idaho, that would mean $200 fucking million. It’s called math. After blowing minds with that obvious statistic, the Task Force came up with an obvious solution: End no fault divorce. Make the husband or wife prove they deserve a divorce.

Heyoooo. I thought Thayn was our crazy guy. Welcome to the party, dick. (Yeah, I didn’t capitalize that.)

Some lawmakers in Idaho believe the solution is not forcing people to stay married, but rather to strengthen day care regulations and make pre-schooling part of public schools. The task force disagrees.

Also, ladies, why are you talking directly to me and looking me in the eyes?

Idaho is big on privacy and probably won’t go for the Task Force’s incredible forward thinking ideas but at least there are guys like Thayn to remind us there is always someone worse out there.

He uses hunger to get his kids to do their chores? Umm, child-abuse anyone? Great person to elect to office there, Idaho.

chock full

not chalk full.
lol.

FTR Why do you hate mothers? Obviously the right for women to choose their own destiny was given to them by Satan himself as a way to breed more sinners. Once we get women back in the homes as god intends the world will be a much better place.




Just in case someone thought that was anything but sarcasm. I'm actually afraid to read the links you posted here at work because if they are as bad as I suspect I will be stuck thinking about that all day and unable to be a good slave to the state......

The Bible Belt is getting hitched up rather high, isn't it?
But wait, they said less taxes...Ron Paul 2008!!

now you're talking!

Interesting... Within all that insanity I find a 'nut" of wisdom. i.e., If parents (single or otherwise) were able to spend more time at home, participating in the education & social upbringing of their children we might see less of a dissociative youth culture.

Hmmm? Of course! It must be the fault of the Yellow Bus gulags and those Pinkos at all the Head Start programs! Or maybe, if those whiney single mothers would have just sucked it up & stayed in some miserable marriage like Rep. Thayn's wife (who probably spends way too much time feeding her brats... "Why won't you just stop coddling them woman!") today's kids wouldn't be so disenfranchised.

No... it couldn't have anything to do with being a kid in an underfunded public school system where Pizza Hut runs the cafeteria and your teacher makes less than the average construction worker and then waiting for your mother to come home at 11pm after a shift at her other part time job with no benefits or chance of advancement because the manager is too busy looking at her tits to realize that she's trying not to default on the sub-prime loan that was her only option to try and buy the house that she now is away from 18 out of every 24 hours working for tips at Chili's or doing a "clean up in aisle 3" of the local MEGA-WALMART because every family owned business in her little podunk Idaho town was buried by some franchise.

Fuck! Why does Satan have such a huge tool box?

At least now I know what "tools" he keeps in the top drawer.

Idaho, until you rethink who you're electing to the House of Representatives, you are officially On Notice.

As for those of you who didn't vote, you're simply Dead to Me.

Proposed new state motto for Idaho:

"Too many Bibles, too much time on our hands"

I disagree with a lot of this and then find very tiny things I do agree with. Though, I am a lot less up the dems. ass like a lot of people my age. I do agree with this excerpt:
"We have become state slaves, going to work everyday to pay the tax liability we incurred during the night while we slept. We will know that we have free nation when the government at all levels requires 10% or less of our income."

but not the last sentence which I left out of the copy and paste.

I also can see a point about hunger but it was expressed poorly. I don't want anyone to go hungry but I can see where it might motivate people to work if they didn't think they could get welfare and food stamps for all the kids they keep irresponsibily popping out.

Basically, I'm for smaller government and for people to take care of themselves and stop waiting for hand-outs.

This guys wasn't very smart but I also think he could have been critiqued in a more meaningful way instead of all the jokes and sarcasm which fail to truly address what issues might actually be there and then to counter-offer a solution.

What can you expect from the Northwest Territorial Imperative?

Idaho is a Red State's Red State.

Says the guy from Texas.

Yes, I can see how the crime rate might be reduced if we were forced to spend the rest of our lives with someone we didn't want to be married to. And I can totally see how proving in a court of law that thier father was abusive just so i could leave the marriage would have benifitted my children, instead of that no fighting no fault divorce we got. Although I guess it doesn't really matter, since they are both destined to become drugged-out criminals.
Wow, i really can't even wrap my head around the idiocy of this.

um, are you mental? you realize that we are taxed on income, right? you only incur tax liability while you sleep if your business or investments are generating income. taxes aren't the bogeyman. without them we'd be fucked. allocation of tax revenues, of course, is another issue entirely.

Wow. Let's make it harder for couples to divorce -- great idea! I'm sure the kids in those unstable "families" will turn out much better than kids of single moms. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm inclined to define a family by how much love and care is shared among each member, rather than solely by the number of parents involved.

I sure as hell would have done a lot more drugs as a kid (well, any drugs at all) if I had to live with parents constantly at war with each other... rather than a peaceful home run just by my mom.



This article got me so worked up Fucking douchebags, indeed.

This is really fucking scary! This "council" makes the Taliban look positively progressive by comparison.

Something tells me if we want a glimpse into Rep Thayns family life, all we'd have to do is watch the movie Deliverance.

It's precisely that kind of shameless secular humanism that's destroying America!*

They're fucked up, yes, but I wouldn't go that far. They're not actually stoning anybody, are they? Chopping off the hands of thieves? Banning music? Throwing acid on the faces of "whores"?

Bad, yes, but they could be even worse.

I can't wait to see how his kids turn out. That should be a hoot.
I wonder if "arbeit macht frei" is posted above his door.

"You get no food until your chores are done!!!"

Bet they would if they could get away with it. This mind-set is reminescent of times when pressing, flogging, immersion and burning at the stake were considered acceptable forms of uh... proactive salvation.

I don't know about you, but generally the only reason I get up in the morning is because I have to take a leak. Once I'm up, I figure I may as well head in to work and drink free coffee.

Maybe we need to just get rid of all the moms and institute single fathers as the norm...

I live in Boise,Idaho. My parents have been divorced since I was 10 and my mom never remarried. To my knowledge, I'm a pretty okay person. I've never touched drugs or gotten in any legal trouble. Niether have my brother and sister who grew up with me. I know a lot of other people who also didn't really have a father around and they're not running around the state commiting crimes.

The Committees of Correspondence web sit is a hoot !

Look ! They have a whole section dedicated to Definitions

I love to highlight some extra crazy points for you, but there are none. It's all extra craZY. Enjoy.
