Ted Cruz Spanks His Daughter!

Post Reply New Topic

It is what it is.
It's your brazenness about it that stands out.


Well, with me sex doesn't include doing things with pillows. Are you sure you really want to go there?
You know what they say about glass houses...

The only problem with your threat is, there's no threat where there is no fear or shame. Get over yourself.

Practice what you preach.

And by the way, if you actually read what I initially wrote, I had a problem with Cruz denigrating another Presidential candidate (Clinton) by saying she should be spanked like he spanks his daughter, not that he's allegedly a child abuser simply because he spanks his daughter. Don't be so damn eager to jump all over me.
And as for another post of yours concerning removing spanking in school - I for one don't want a teacher physically striking my child. Deny her recess, make her stay after school, or if the offense is bad enough, expel her, etc, but any other punishment of children should be in the hands of us parents.

Far as I'm concerned, kids should be spanked, and severely, with a bamboo cane for even the most minor of infractions. Now before people start jumping all over my fat ass, I grew up in PA Dutch Country in the 60's and 70's. They still believe that might makes right. You don't have to be as extreme as my parents (mom and dad were severely abused while they were growing up (although that type of discipline was not considered abuse in the first 40 years of the 20th century.) (Mom would use whatever she had in her hand either across your ass or alongside your head, and it didn't matter if it was a wire coat hanger, a 2x4, a leather belt with a solid brass buckle on the end, a marble rolling pin, or if she couldn't grap anything within her reach, you got a left uppercut to the jaw. Her reasoning was shoot the person, and the hell asking questions, even if you were later proven to be innocent. Dad was just as bad, except his favotite forms of discipline was the leather belt with the brass belt buckle across your ass or your back, you got his foot permanently rammed up your ass or in your gonads, then be totally humiliated by him in front of anyone and everyone who viewed the punishment (both mom and dad viewed discipline and punishment as one and the same thing. It was to be swift, painful, cruel, and unforgiving. Now you know why I never dated, never married, and never wanted children. I recognized these traits of rage in myself when I was a teenager, which is about the time Benjamin Spock came out with his book on child-rearing and the sociologists (who, in my view, and my parents view, were always full of sh!t) considered this type of discipline to be abuse. It may bloody well be abuse today, but people of my generation who got this type of punishment, as well as the fear of God and parents beat into them made us straighten up and fly right, to quote the old Bobby Troup song made famous by Nat King Cole.

it has been my experience that harsh discipline makes for a cruel adult.

If adults are allowed to smack kids for misbehaving then kids should be able to smack adults for misbehaving.

Hit your kid and your kid will hit other kids. Bully your child and your child will think it's okay to bully other children. Sexually abuse your kid and he/she will perform those same acts on other children, not even realizing that what they are doing is considered wrong. (After all why would they if their own parent does it).

As children grow other they may begin reject their parent's disciplinary methods, but many will go on to repeat the cycle when they have kids of their own. It's really not very logical to spank your kid for misbehaving, unless you want to teach your child how to be aggressive.

f**k that piece of s**t and all parents that do this.

It's certainly not out of the realm of political campaign mudslinging. It has a very long history.

Maybe if you took down that neon Kick Me sign you've been wearing on your back for the past 6 years...


Rest assured the average run of the mill spanking will be less damning than an expulsion.

In my case hitting is the only way I could be reached sometimes.

Either you're imagining a neon "kick me" sign on my back, or you're back to justifying bullying again, as that's the sort of thing a bully would say.
As for spanking being preferable to expulsion - you let a stranger hit your kid, and see how it makes you feel.
And in regard to political mudslinging - sure, there's a long history of it, but that doesn't make it right.

I could comment on that last part, but that would be cruel.

Where were the other times because I certainly don't recall them? Find them or at least reference them please.

In the old days (like for my parents and grandparents) school spankings were the almost universally accepted norm. I've even heard of janitors giving out whippings with a belt for cases of graffiti and other intentional damage to the school building and property. I think it was my old man or one of his brothers that got a whuppin from a janitor over that. They wouldn't dare go home and whine to grandpa about it because he'd strap them even harder for f*****g up and getting in trouble in school. He was a very tough man.
People as a whole were tougher and more spartan then and we're dearly missing that now.[/quote]


I hope you remember that you said this because I and at least one other surely will.

I'd love to know why was this thread was not started in PPR. It certainly belongs there given the content.

I spoke the truth and nothing you (or anyone else) could come up with would faze me.

Spanking is not abuse. Making fun of your kid, not feeding your kid, exploiting your kid, neglecting your kid, verbally assaulting your kid, burning your kid, biting your kid, punching your kid. These are abuse. They leave lasting scars. Spanking is punishment. I got spanked on occasion. It didn't hurt me. I also got abused and neglecting. Years of therapy later and I still have emotional scars. I hate when people get all judgmental about spanking. Even in today's society with CPS you won't get in trouble for spanking your kids. Beating them yes but not a regular spanking with a belt or your hand. Ted Cruz has the right to spank his kids to instill discipline. As for what he has to say about Mrs. Clinton, who cares? He's in a presidential campaign and he's out to win. That's how the game is played.

Every post you've ever made to me and everyone else - with the exception of your bff - has been bullying and denigrating. And as I've pointed out more than once, you've blamed the victim for being weak, or acting differently.
And the good old days of teachers and janitors beating kids, when men were men, women were women, gays were beaten without repercussions (closet case conservatives could get away with this as a cover), and blacks knew their place!! !! !! Oh, boy, how I ache for the good old days!! !! !
As for mudslinging - personally expressing an opinion about a reprehensible person is one thing, while going out of one's way to destroy a person for political gain is another. So go ahead, remember all you like.
