There was an interesting story that broke last week about the Alberta Finance Minister’s comment that the best way to raise children is by having one parent stay home with them during the early childhood years.

Well, D’UH! Only a moron who is ignorant of parenting research doubts that!

But what was interesting was the reaction of the secular-left to her comments.

Excerpt:

Following the speech, however, the Minister was sharply criticized for her comments by Alberta Liberal leader David Swann, who called for her to apologize. Swann said Evans should be fired should she not do so. “If she really said these things, she must apologize,” said Swann. “If she doesn’t apologize, the premier must fire her. … These are truly outrageous claims. I have never been as stunned by the sheer arrogance and ignorance of the Tories as I am today.”

According to Swann, “In a sense, Iris Evans did us all a favor by revealing her contempt for the sacrifices made by hard-working Alberta families.” Swann suggested that Evans’ comments prove that the current PC government of Alberta is a “group of small-minded social conservatives who don’t understand the problems of ordinary Albertans.”

Are leftists totally stupid or something? I would LOVE to stay at home with my children, if I ever found woman I liked and got married and had some. Relationships and debates are even more interesting than programming all day. (And programming is very interesting!) Why are people so focussed on making and spending money? What could be more important than introducing children to God?
