"Know your enemy" is a stategy I grew up with.

Dad used to tune in Radio Berlin during WWII and I listened to Radio Moscow during the Cold War. Both are now silent, so I drop in on NPR and PBS from time to time.

The enemy?  God forbid these guys raise kids that nobody else will.  The enemy is shitty parents who don't give a fuck about their own children, and people who think it'll all just magically work out without somebody putting forth the effort.

You have no idea as to the situation in which the foster kids ended up with the two homos in the title post.

Maybe they were involved in a car accident and lost their parents?

Or were you just making some bizarre attempt to shift anger away from socialist NPR? NPR sucks dick and their stations should never receive a federal penny.

Must have been a relief to find a gay couple raising foster kids.

So Juan = man Juan who thinks he's a woman and now goes by Maria, and John = woman Michelle who thinks she's a man and calls herself John?  I feel like the wedding scene during the end credits of the movie The Birdcage, when one old lady leans over to another, points at Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, and says "Which one is the 'mother?'"

This is why we need to teach Algebra in schools, so we know how to "Solve for X."

Being placed in foster care because of the death of parents is rare, maybe 1%.  And of the pool of foster parents, maybe 2% are gay.  Don't go to Vegas.

Nationally, it's about a 2.5:1 ratio of couples versus single parents in foster/adoptive roles.  In some states, it's closer to 1:1.  We have a number of single, heterosexual men on this on this very site who have both fostered and adopted.

Every child deserves an mother and a father.

The left has a term for this: normalizing.

If you just keep repeating the same "truth" again and again, people will come to accept it as the way it is.


Kids will spend the rest of their lives searching for their birth-moms just to ask the question - why?

You miss the point.

The point is this:  when you turn on NPR, you listen to liberal propaganda.

It's not a coincidence that every single thing on NPR sounds like a professor of lesbian dance theory wrote it.

    No joke about the music,  The pink Floyd and Clapton were great. Many more.

  But during the day expect propaganda and lies half truths.
 Yesterday I saw them read The presidents tweet.

 They had the tweet shown on the screen and read it and stopped short of finishing it where he said what about Clinton and co. Involvement with Russia.

  I watch because nothing else on, and I see through their B.S and I know I won't be brainwashed. And I can at least debate the lies a lefty may think is truth.

 

 I don't think ignoring the problem fixes anything.

Government funding is something like only 10% of their budget.  Wouldn't make a difference.  They would just ramp up the begging for donations to make up any difference.

The morning show is not so bad - yes all the gay/everything is racism/everybody-is-a-recovering-gay-drug-addict-screwed-by-limited-government funding-but-they-have-a-transsexual-poodle thing DOES get old.    But on some topics they provide decent analysis that is missing on the regular bullshit media.  It's a little hard to take them seriously as "the enemy" when their bias is so awkward and obvious.  If you want to hate the media for twisting things - focus on the large networks/Fox and CNN.

I seriously can't stop laughing after reading this.

They try so fucking hard to be Liberal that it's absolutely ridiculous.

And why can't they ever see the comedy that they create? They go as far as they know how, to reach the absolute end of the ideological spectrum to find their talking points and then try to pass it off as normal, middle of the road, common place, slice of life, everyone can relate, serious issues.

Not only does the Left do it with straight faces, but if anyone does get caught not taking it as seriously as they have deemed appropriate, they automatically and preemptively lose any debate that can be had on the subject matter.

You posted that "every child deserves a mother and father."  Grand.  But, that's not reality, and that's why I responded to your post.

The opioid epidemic isn't some binary issue with otherwise good parents dropping dead from an overdose.  It's constant arrests, visits from DCS, and eventual removal from the home.  To make matters even less clear, DCS goal is preservation of the family, even if that means removing the child from a stable foster environment and returning the child to the neglectful parent[s].

It's an already strained system, where some states are now seeing 15-20% year to year increases in children entering the system - something that is outpacing the pool of available traditional families - so the system has to move beyond that pool.

They did however mention that law enforcement was investigating gunshots that occurred during the capture.

They sure do dig deep over there at National Public Radio.

My current game with NPR is to listen up to the point where they do some sort of racists/sexist/religious preferences identity reference.  So I listen to them when they discuss stories that affect us all, regardless of race/sex/religion - up to the point that they then bring up a identity division item.   In general, I get about 60 seconds in, before they fail this game. And then I turn them off.  

It's kind of impressive how uniform they are their division based messaging.

I then switch to conservative talk radio and listen for as long as they go before an advertisement or shill-advertisement announcement.  In general, they don't last any longer than NPR does in this game.  I'm probably going to wear out my dial if I keep this up.

Knock yourself out.

You put forth a mathematically implausible straw man regarding the plight of the kids, and I tried to roughly quantify the unlikelihood of such a scenario.  And now you've somehow turned this into a racism argument?  Gotta say, I didn't see that one coming.

EVERYTHING is about gays and racism or Muslims.

A coworker and I would make bets about how they were going to twist a completely unrelated story into something about racism.

There was some woman doing a history of tap dancing, and sure as shit apparently tap dancing is racist. A couple days ago there was something about iconic pink donut boxes from Los Angeles, and our local affiliate had a story about black people making the best donuts and how white people tried to keep them out of the donut business.

My favorite was a completely innocuous piece about a guy who wrote a "cooking on a budget" book. By the end of it... guess what? His black grandmother wasn't allowed to eat at white restaurants or work, so she had to develop these recipes! Blah blah blah. Shut the fuck up.
