Snapshot Of The Discourse:Children Are Property, They Don't Need "Rights"

We haven't time to break it down (Not true at all. We have all the time in the world, but there's no way in hell.) but the oh-so-serious giants of glibertarian intellect at Reason are unhappy w/ their counterparts, the more-serious-than-cancer collection of philosophes who type for pay & comment for kicks at The Journal of The American Society Of PhilosophyWonkette.

Reason, as always (Or not, our beautiful mind can't take much of it, we really have no idea what they do.) abuses language to make every gov't. action criminal.

The setup: a couple in New Hampshire had their baby stolen from them by government agents--which I think most normal humans recognize as one of the most wrenching, horrific, violative of one's integrity and liberty things that a state, or anyone, could possibly do--whatever the reason for it might be.

Horrors! The only things more integrity-violative (Have to have it before it can be violated!) to the freeman's mind would be actually being in jail, himself, or ... what if they confiscatedtook by force one of his precious guns? (Easy, freeman, just a hypothetical. Breathe into that paper bag if you started hyperventilating.)

The affidavit about the snatch lists ongoing charges of child neglect against the mother regarding her other two children, and charges against the father involving weapons possession without a license, as among the reasons for the kidnapping.

[...]

(Whether anyone thinks an act of violence as severe as taking a newborn from parents is justified by these sorts of procedures is the big question)

(All boldface ours.)

We can only speculate as to reaction Reason might have had to the couple (whose baby was apparently thrown in a cattle car & shipped to the East) if they weren't bitter gun clingers. We could have been treated to a dissertation on the nerve of societal parasites, moral & physical inferiors, & the other standard droning.

[The father] said he was unemployed and collected disability because he is blind in his left eye from a childhood accident. He said that Taylor suffers from "stress-induced seizure disorder" and that complications during her pregnancy required him to tend to her almost constantly.

Honestly, should people on welfare be allowed to reproduce? What's the likelihood that Ms. Taylor's spawn will be on the welfare rolls the minute they're out of their foster homes?
