My apologies to those of you (except Yellow Stream) who I might have offended with my second paragraph. I have heard, and used, the phrase "I got screwed and I didn't even get kissed" for decades when referring to the Federal Government and taxes. When used in reference to section 8 housing, public benefits for illegal aliens, Government paid abortions, entitlements, and other public benefits to the vast hoard of parasites that our politicians coddle to buy their votes, I have indeed been violated. My monies have been seized, for many many decades, for this type of nonsense with the threat of a gun (prison) if I do not pay.

In no manner do I condone rape!

But.... on a more realistic note; this would not have happened at all if our Federal Government had not set the stage for this type of scenario to happen over and over again. Harsher still, I do not believe that illegal aliens have rights under our constitution or law.

Major Mike, your apologizes do not exempt your ignorance! Basically because she lives in Harmony Village and was drunk you think she deserves being raped. You may not condone rape for people who have heads and wallets as big as yours, but maybe for those who you seem to think are lesser in worth than you. You are sick and absolutely need a taste of reality.

Thank you Mike, it takes the bigger person to admit when one makes a mistake. You get a pass this time

...from a mean spirited Reagan loving Republican. Keep them coming, MajorMike...Ronnie would be so proud.

I'm not sure how you tied it to Reagan. Post like yours make these blogs HIGHlarious at times.

I agree that this was a terrible comment. Not sure how that translates to a Reagan person. You have some terrible ones yourself--do you want to talk about crinoline some more? Bring up them dead Ramseys to make yourself feel like a wit? I would not be so quick to wrap myself in righteousness. Your fecal matter smells just as sweet.

and that will show you who his political allegiance is to - duh. Doesn't take a rocket scientist, if you know what I mean.

Sure, go start another thread/blog on crinoline's and let's have a chat, you baby.

If I put a good picture of Barack Obama as my avatar, does that make me suddenly transform myself into his political persuasion? (OOPs-just did it, do you think better of me?) Does a strange potato head thing make you a mushy-headed individual? No, I know that you are decidedly bright, but also a democratic and liberal shill that brings ideology into every posting. Watch out for throwing those rocks, because you are not the friendliest or politically correct blogger here. If somelike like Ann Coulter had this happen to her, you would most likely would say that she had it coming.

You need to start checking your ideology at the door sometimes. It leads you to hypocrisy.

"You need to start checking your ideology at the door sometimes."

Are you trying to silence my right to free speech and political opinion?

Sorry. Won't happen.

And you know it.

you have a right to be seen as you are. MMike looked mean and foolish as he used this story to try to make a larger point around his dislike of public assistance. You also looked mean and foolish as when you changed your avatar to that of a murdered child pageant star to make a larger point around your intense dislike of beauty pageants in general. Of course you also attacked a new blogger and mom on this site. And looked mean and foolish as well.
Darth Dubious is right about one thing, neither political party is on the side of angels (or maybe an ethereal goodness for your atheistic being). You and Sniffles act like one side is, and completely disregard evidence to the contrary.

I also loved how you didn't comment about my Ann Coulter statement. You wouldn't defend her in a similiar circumstance and you know it deep in your kool-aid filled and jelly-pumping heart.

You know, the beauty of having this open forum on the Citizen is that we can all express ourselves, no matter how "mean" or "foolish" others perceive us to be. We post what our passion is...for some it's local news, for others it could be politics or a distaste for kiddie pageants. What's your point anyway? If you don't like my "tone", or my avatar's, don't read my posts.

that is not interested in any discourse. your passion is for shilling the dems. You do it will decreasing effectiveness the loonier you get. Have fun

Well said.

Disgusting.

2nd paragraph is about as bad as it gets. Nothing wrong with legit questions, but you Sir, are out of line.

MajorMike YOU make me ill. As a woman I am offended by your comment. It shouldn't matter if she is living on secion 8 or here legally, this woman was violated nobody deserves to go thorugh something so horrible; and if you REread the artical she is 19 yrs old, and I'm sure there is a reason why at this young she is living on her own. These are scars that will take many years heal, and all you can do is make jokes. I'm sorry I don't see the humor in that. I hope this never happends to your mother, sister, aunt, wife, whoever. May God bless your black empty soul.

Do we still play the 'woman' card?

Umm, yes still using the 'woman card'. I wanted to point out that as a WOMAN myself that has gone though a lot myself while on this Earth it was discusting to me that in the year 2009 people can still be that closed minded. I will take a wild guess...your a man right. Enough said.

a person is a person no matter who they are, or where they are from. Rape is rape.

MjrMike is very disrespectful.

In Liberty,

DarthDubious

"No" means "No", and whether an underage girl receives public assistance or lives in public housing doesn't have one Goddamned thing to do with rape.

Bless!

like under age consumption of alcohol and providing alcohol to a minor? I feel bad for the girl, she made some bad choices, but was helped by some others.

Yes, contributing to the deliquency, possibly breaking and entering, and even more disturbing, We are having to hear about it. Should the girl try to hold someone else responsible for her actions that lead up to this event.

We as parents preach to our children to make good choices and positive decesions and this is the reason why.
