Family Research Institute: Mary Cheney Cruel to Children

Mary Cheney Cruel to Children
Contact: Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman, Family Research Institute, 303-681-3113, 303-886-1947 cell

COLORADO SPRINGS, Dec. 8 /Christian Newswire/ -- Mary Cheney, the Vice President's unmarried daughter, is expecting. Dr. Paul Cameron, Chairman of the Family Research Institute, a Colorado Springs think-tank, condemned her decision:

"Unmarried women should not deliberately have children. Their children are more apt to experience privation and disruption. Consequently, such children are more apt to do poorly in school, disrupt society (e.g., engage in criminality), and be personally troubled. These wrongs are compounded when the child is brought into a homosexual setting."

<snip>

- Mary, 37, is currently 'partnered' with Heather Poe, 45. The median age of death for lesbians is around the late 50's. If Poe and Cheney stay together, odds are this child will lose at least one caretaker before graduating high school.

- Children of homosexuals testify that day-to-day living is more difficult – and they are more apt to report personal disturbance as a consequence.

- A high proportion of lesbian 'partnerings' break apart -- with custody issues haunting the child for the rest of his life.

- The child will disproportionately associate with homosexuals – who are as a class considerably more apt to have STDs and a criminal history, be interested in sex with children, involved in substance abuse, etc.

- The child will have a much higher probability of learning homosexual tastes (at least a third of lesbian's children adopt homosexuality).

2. WTF?
"The median age of death for lesbians is around the late 50's."

This is so asinine I don't know where to start...

3. These "facts"
are from Paul Cameron, who has had his "facts" discredited for, oh, about 25 years now. I had thought even the Fundies had thrown him overboard, but I guess not.

6. "- A high proportion of lesbian 'partnerings' break apart -- with custody issues haunting the child

That would be higher than the 50% of straight partnerings?

And what custody issues is he referring to? Heather Poe has no rights to this child, she'll enjoy a relationship with the kid at the whim of Mary - thanks to Mary's political buddies.

And where is the outrage at all the "fatherless" children left behind by W's Big Folly in Iraq? Thousands of American children left without a parent, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children left without a parent - why won't the M$M ask some of these Hate Gays for Profit groups that question, since they claim to be so damned worried about the children?

8. Have to love the FRC!
We all know that FRC is a bunch of nutjobs.

This exposes them further as the loonies they are. So, how is Dick going to respond now that they are attacking his daughter? Ask them to go quail hunting?

With their bogus factoids and hysterical tone, this opens them up to more ridicule. I know that many of us here get angry and aerated over their nonsense, but if we laugh at them instead and satirize their ridiculous stands, we blunt their effectiveness, even among their supporters. I'm not saying not get angry and try to educate others but laugh at the same time. (I'm reminded of Michael Moore's confrontation with Fred Phelps and how funny that was)

Has anyone put up a satirical FRC site? Along the lines of Betty Bowers?

11. Privation? Privation?
Mary Cheney's child is susceptible to privation? In what universe? With her family's financial standing, the child is susceptible to privation? I think not!

14. This is the rantings of a group of hate-filled loons. Information contained in the 5 bullet points
appear to have been pulled from their asses.

These people have a superiority complex and use their bibles as clubs instead of instruments of peace. I wonder if these pseudo-christians realize that they repel far more people from Christianity than they attract.

15. What are these people SMOKING?
The median age of death for lesbians is around the late 50s? News to me. Even given the higher incidence of breast cancer, I can't imagine these statistics are recent. Perhaps they are working from data gathered in medieval Europe, where lesbians were often burned at the stake as witches before reaching middle age.

A high proportion of lesbian "partnerings" break apart? Would this be a higher or lower proportion than the proportion of heterosexual marriages that end in bitter divorces with vicious custody battles?

I'll give it to them that the kid will know more about "homosexual tastes" (interesting way to put that) growing up with gay parents. That's tautological. I don't think it necessarily follows therefrom that they have a greater chance of "turning gay." I mean, I had straight parents, and look at me. Their "heterosexual tastes" don't appear to have rubbed off too well. Anyway, WTF cares? Oh, that's right--people who believe being gay is the worst thing that could ever happen to any human being. Worse than being the president of the Family Research Council, even.

Well, good luck, Mary! With friends like this...

16. I hope Dr. Cameron was in excruciating pain
when he pulled these "facts" from his ass.

"Children of homosexuals testify(when did this particular court hearing take place?) that day-to-day living is more difficult – and they are more apt to report personal disturbance as a consequence."

The only reason day-to-day living is more difficult for children of homosexuals is because of assholes like him and his ilk.

19. Why do they even bother attempting to hide their hate behind fake stats?
I would rather they just be open about their hate instead of insulting my intelligence by throwing out bullshit statistics that make absolutely NO sense for the purpose of bashing homosexuals. The "lesbians shouldn't have kids because lesbians DIE YOUNG!" argument is beyond insane and a waste of everyone's time. If you're going to spend actual time and resources on spreading bigotry, then have a little integrity and be honest about it...just say "we hate lesbians. They scare us because we cannot control them and also because we choose to interpret the bible as saying that homosexuals are evil".

The truth is much more to the point.

20. That is vile, but Mary Cheny supported this kind of thinking when
she propped up the Bush regime.
She has made her bed and now she can lie in it.
No sympathy for her.

23. Yes. Mary Cheney's political party SUPPORTS THIS thinking.
This cannot be stressed enough.

She needs to wake the F up.
