Chuckie Watch 7: Chuckie vs. single mothers

CHARLIE DANIELS must have mood swings or something. He'll post a few fairly mellow or inocuous posts in a laid-back "long haired country boy" mood. Then he'll be raging like a John Bircher who's just found out his daughter's marrying a Communist. Chuckie's latest, "Social Shenanigans", is complaining about welfare. He ends up blaming it all on immigrants, somehow, I'm not quite sure how. But we already know that Chuckie don't much like immigrants. But the main thing that's worrying Chuckie's Christian conscience is loose women:

And you've also heard the stories about the welfare mothers who have five different children by five different men and turns them out on the street to run wild and end up in jail by the time they're teenagers and she gets a welfare allowance for each one of them.
But I don't think Chuckie is worried about hiring more auditors at the social services department:

They [politicians who support welfare] encourage the very things which corrode the fabric of society. Teenaged mothers, out of wedlock birth, children who grow up wild on the street without parental guidance or nurturing and eventually end up behind bars or lying in a pool of blood in some intercity back alley.
So according to Chuckie, real men don't want their tax money being spent on feedin' no children. What kind of wuss would support something like that? Real men want those little bastard babies to go hungry to teach their mommas some decent morals. Real men want their taxes to go to Halliburton and Bechtel.

I don't know how we Americans got so far off into goofball thinking that someone could even imagine that this kind of rant would appeal to anyone but half-senile White Citizens Council members. The European Union countries all provide considerable basic assistance to new mothers, on the very sound notion that it's in society's general interest to make sure babies get adequate food and clothing. And by any measurable standard of sexual morality, they certainly are no worse off than the United States.

And, for some odd reason, not even the conservative parties in Europe complain that feeding children is undermining the morals of their mothers.
