You know, Grokster Tim is gonna give me SUCH a hard time over this image – time after time I have repeated my one inviolate rule for Groksters about strictures in posts (“Adult themes, kid friendly”) when he (deliberately, and with a smirk on his face – heh!) puts up something that pushes my buttons. And while he claims some ulterior reason, I know he likes to push my prudish (in his eyes) buttons – and then all the other Groksters smile in that he’s giving me a hard time. Again. So, it’s after the jump.
The cover of Time magazine is that of a Mom that believes in extended nursing – her three year old son is “latched on” and she defends her decision for delaying the weaning process. Fine. Her decision and that is up to her an her family. Our two sons were also breast fed but for a far less period of time than this “cover model” has already done.
Well, there are parallels in the political world and Rush has it dead nuts right – Obama believes that Govt is that Mom and we all are that kid. The message is from Obama is that hanging onto Govt for your daily sustenance is a good thing:
Well, when over 51% of the population receives income of some type from the Government, there’s a problem. When less than 50% of the population is paying the freight, there’s a problem. How close are we to that real tipping point when the populace at large no longer believes that self-sufficiency and rugged individualism are worthwhile attributes?
At that point, we no longer are citizens but wards. If Society cannot detach from the teat of Big Mommy Government from either a “gimme-girl” mentality (for studies have shown that single women invariably vote for bigger government far more than men do), a laziness on the part of Society (hey, if they’re offering, I’m taking), or local level politicians greedy for the big flopping bippy of Fed dollars, we will become a nation of children, just waiting around to be told how to do things an when.
