the problems were there prior to the things you blame for the cause. welfare started in the 30's under roosevelt, but the program we know today was started in the 60's. abortition 1/22/1973, affirmative action under jfk 6/19/1963.baldeagle wrote:While all this is true, it still ignores the thrust of the argument. As TAM points out, when fathers are missing, society suffers. That's a fact.

Fatherless homes are an invention of our liberal government policies. When you teach, verbally, by example and with laws, that the government will take care of you, some people will listen and believe it. And the lives they live will impact a greater circle than just their immediate family. When the government says to a pregnant woman, don't worry about the father, we'll take care of you, they are encouraging fatherless "homes". And those homes will destroy (and are destroying) the country more assuredly than any war. They have decimated the black family.
That's why welfare is wrong, why abortion is wrong, why sex education in schools is wrong, why affirmative action is wrong, why so many government programs are wrong. Not because they aren't well intentioned. They may be. But the outcomes of those programs destroy society. If anyone can look around them and not see that America is being destroyed from within, that person is either blind or willfully ignorant.
