Worst. Bouncy. Ever.

Want to hear one of my first memories of wealthy Republican relatives of mine? (Warning: Sad story)

Now I am just going by memory here from when I was about 5 or 6 years old.

My parents and these relatives of ours were sitting around the kitchen table like they always did back then. These relatives and my parents were really close. They were over at our house a lot.

They had a beautiful little daughter about my age. Maybe a year younger than me. Well these relatives were explaining that their daughter had been diagnosed with what they used to call "mental retardation", back during the early 1960's when this conversation occurred.

These parents were devastated when the doctor told them she would be like this her entire life.

Now you may want to stop reading here because what I am about to tell you is not pleasant at all.

These relatives of mine told my parents that they had decided that they were going to fly to NY City and leave this little girl in the street and then fly back home without her. I will never forget the look of terror on my parents face when they were told about my relatives plan. My parents were devastated by what they were just told. They couldn't believe what they were hearing. They were speechless.

I was actually too young then to fully grasp what they were talking about at the time but my parents related this story to me again later in life and explained how they later talked these relatives out of carrying through with their plan. They basically threatened them. Told them they were going to go to the police if they did what they said they were going to do.

Just a little insight into the mind of these wealthy Republican relatives of mine.

Wish I had never heard this story.

Is she sure they weren't going to take her to NY and leave her there?  You know how those Democrats like to get rid of their kids.

Not even close to being believeable.  It reeks of the scent of desperation for the outrage you mention.

Bullshit. Wealthy people no matter their political persuasion have the means with which to care for a child with disabilities for one but putting that aside I'm a conservative and a single mother to an autistic child.  It's hard but somehow I manage to get thru the days without a thought of setting him ou in the middle of a busy urban center. What exactly is the point of this post? What a stupid conclusion to come to that it is somehow politically motivated.

Btw I guess the forget that a member of the Kennedy clan they idolize had their mentally ill child lobotomized.

What he is referring to seems to be a behavior peculiar to very wealthy people. 'hiding' family members with issues and relegating children into the hands of staff. And I does not appear to be a political thing but a culture of wealth thing unrelated to the D or the R.

Here's what I remember about my childhood with liberal democrats, who as my stepfather says "vote for the person who promises to give you the most stuff". Complete chaos, so much so that I moved out before I was 18, (no one really cared). It was less chaotic at my boyfriend's house. He was a biker. A mother who didn't care what I did as long as I didn't embarrass her in front of her friends and neighbors, nightly gin and tonic festivals (oh, and my favorite...a mother who used to sit in the family room in the dark, drinking wine, listening to music, crying and waiting for us to come home so she could be maudlin and sentimental and tell us how wonderful we were), a father who was rarely around except when he wanted me to meet his new girlfriend, wife, whatever. That was okay because it usually meant a trip to Disneyland and/or a bunch of presents. I do remember one was an Operation game. There were no talks of politics or anything else around the table because the kids ate in the kitchen until we moved out while my mom and whoever ate at the bar in the family room. The only normal I had was when I lived with my conservative grandparents who gave me love, discipline, and school clothes. And they took me to the dentist for the first time in my life when I was 12 because my parents thought it was the other one's responsibility.

Sorry, there's no conversion story except mine because I decided no way was I ever going to be dependent on anyone ever again for my opinions and the life I chose to live.

Lest I forget: SO, I lived happily ever after.

Nixon = IDEA; GHWB = ADA; GWB = NCLB (which meant students with disabilities could no longer be warehoused in classrooms in the basement).

Republicans have come through for children/adults with true disabilities.  They believe there should be a safety net for them.  It's the rest of you sloths who suck the system dry and ruin it for those who are diagnosed with "mental retardation."

Agreed. However I have seen some attitudes here and there from our side who wouldn't mind warehousing the 'inconvenient' too if it would save them a dime or having to watch the uncomfortable behavior at times of the disabled.

I think what occurs to me about this post is if they were all so close he hasn't considered for a moment that this was an adult making an offhand comment or expressing their frustration in a comment they totally intended to not really pursue. Acts like his folks are some kind of folk heroes when in actually they probably understood their good friends were speaking out of frustration and probably lent an ear and suggestions knowing they were just frustrated. If this happened I think te dummies has a skewed perspective not being privy to the richness of an adult conversation at the time as an immature child and has built some folklore around the incident to fit his ridiculous stereotype.

Bullshit. Every family I know of that received a prenatal diagnosis that could possibly result in mental retardation that chose NOT to kill their child in the womb has been a conservative family. That is because their values made them not view children as Christmas sweaters you return because it is not the "right fit" but as blessings from God that you view unconditionally.
