Glenn Grothman-WI- “The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock”
He is the same Repug that called the protesters at the Capitol slobs. Nothing surprises me anymore with what comes out of his mouth and small mind.

Glenn Grothman: “The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock”

I hope I’ll be forgiven for veering off of the topic of recalls for a moment. It’s time to revisit one of Wisconsin’s wingnut hall of fame stars: GOP senator from West Bend, Glenn Grothman.

To be fair, the headline doesn’t do Grothman justice. I had to abbreviate it. Here’s the complete quote:

“The Left and the social welfare establishment want children born out of wedlock because they are far more likely to be dependent on the government.”

This comes from a document Grothman has been distributing the upshot of which seems to be if you make social programs available to single moms, you ensure that they are dependent on the government and will not get married – AND it is a horrible very bad no good thing that we have single parents at all. It also has the occasional bizarre statement like, “..the abolition of the family was a goal of Karl Marx and has been for atheistic socialists ever since”....................................

1. Wait? I thought we wanted to abort all the babies in the name of marx?
If they can't keep their lunatic rants straight, how I am supposed to?

3. No Glenn "dumbass" Grothman. The left wants women to have a choice.
And if they CHOOSE to give birth and keep the child, the left wants the child and the mother to be healthy, very much different than the right who really don't give a flying fig what happens to the child or the mother after birth.

How do they get away with spewing this nonsense?!

4. We tried to get enough signatures to force a recall on Grothman....

but came up several thousand short. Very red district; he's run unopposed multiple times.

5. Yes, we do.
That's why the Repubelicans, to prevent this, are for:

  • Outlawing divorce
  • Protecting abortion rights
  • Recognizing same-sex marriage
  • Covering marriage counseling with health insurance



Oh wait, they're not? Surprise, surprise.
