At a townhall meeting in Johnstown, PA yesterday, Barck Obama made the following statement:
“When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which should include — which should include abstinence education and teaching the children — teaching children, you know, that sex is not something casual. But it should also include — it should also include other, you know, information about contraception because, look, I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with an STD at the age of 16. You know, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.”
There are sooooooooo many things I want to YELL at Barack right now. Here are a few:
Barack, you talk about teaching values and morals, that’s great. However, your teaching needs some updating because you have left out the end part where if you live short of values and morals, there are CONSEQUENCES! Let me enlighten you on the difference between”Punishment” and “Consequence.” “Punishment” is something that is done to you, “Consequence” is the result of something that you have done. I understand how you easily confuse these concepts as you believe that you are being “punished” for standing by Jeremiah Wright when in fact you are suffering the “consequences” of your action of continuing to support his black liberation theology.
