Interesting choice of examples: Single moms, Christian band. (By the way, I know lots of Christian bands that are pro medical-marijuana).
(Edited to change "marijuana" to "medical-marijuana".)
- dragonwriter 10y agoIts not a particularly surprising choice of examples for a Republican politician upset about the practice that wants to highlight targeted groups to whom his constituency is likely to be sympathetic.
- hackaflocka 10y agoI agree 100%. Still, one group (single moms) is generally despised by them, and the other is favored.
- rconti 10y agoNot despised. I think they're likely sympathetic to their plight, at least on the surface.
- gohrt 10y agoThe politically-correct sympathetic "single mom" is referring to widows and abandoned women, not a pregnant single woman.
- jboles 10y agoExactly. Republicans do not have a problem with single women per se, only unchecked promiscuity out of wedlock.
- djrogers 10y ago> generally despised by them That's a ridiculous statement. My church (both as an organization and the people in it) gives tons of money to single moms for everything from subsistence to fully paid Disneyland vacations. We run a volunteer group that does things like yard work, handyman work, and moving for single moms. The most visible charity outside a church in my city is for single moms. There are single moms who work in important positions at my church. The bible specifically points out on many occasions that those who follow Christ should show love and compassion to people such as single moms as Christ would.
