Small Rant: WHO THE FREAK STARTED THE TERM "FAMILY VALUES"? [View all]
I swear I hear EVERYONE using that term especially the GOP/Fundies I live around and it is really pissing me off the more I hear it.
Who created "Family Values". Do we blame the "50's Family" with Mom and Dad and 2.5 children? You know the family where that I honestly don't think EVER exsisted save for Hollywood movies and TV shows.
Does it mean that because my mother was divorce and raising me and my sister on her own that I don't have any Family Values? Because I wasn't reared right?
Why is it shameful and "Crazy" for me to say "Your family Values" may not be my family values. The old biddies at my work place who are these GOP/Fundies actually looked at me like I was going a second head because I said that.
And more importantly should I be forced to take up YOUR FAMILY VALUES or should I force my FAMILY VALUES on you? NO!
Why should a politicial party have a thumb hold into pushing these ideas into the psyche of American Culture?
