No, not broken homes…

Listening to Rush Limbaugh at noon, and can.not.believe.my.ears.

He starts out by criticizing feminists for turning the tragedy of Jovan Belcher political.  (sigh)

He blames single parent households, and then says that Belcher was a sick individual, and that the gun didn’t kill the woman, a man did.

Okay, I have to agree with the gun thing–something that I’m at odds with the progressive crowd.  It’s not the guns that are the problem, but the acceptance of violence as a way to settle disputes.  *ahem* Two wars going on at the same time… Vietnam….Kent State…the Occupy movements…I could go on…

The marriage myth is just that–that kids from divorced parents will turn into killers or wife beaters, etc.

Well, let’s look at that, shall we?

George W. Bush was a product of an intact household.  Launched aforementioned wars.  Agreed that waterboarding and other torture was quite all right.

As far as I know, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld’s parents were also together.

John Wayne Gacy had an intact home, and it should be noted that there was domestic violence in the home, along with his father being alcoholic.

There are many folks who manage to make something of themselves without being violent towards others in spite of divorce.

It’s a crock that divorce alone causes abhorrent behavior.  Poverty is more of an indicator of how well a person will do, but we can’t deal with that, now can we?
