Grand Old Party Training

In this interesting post Amanda Marcotte considers the case of the 10 year old who was tasered for refusing to take a shower (which I wrote about here.) She correctly defines this as child abuse and discusses the authoritarian mindset that informs this behavior.

This seems significant to me. As does this. Tasering children is simply beyond my comprehension.

Reading those pieces made me wonder something: has anyone ever asked America’s hockey mom if she believes in hitting her kids? I’d be interested to know.
