... in an interview of a convoy parent, heard on CBC radio. Keeping their kids in substandard housing and conditions (cold, bad food, pollution, noise, stress) so they can "learn" about - something about rights, freedoms, etc.

Narcissists,kids are tools to exploit just like every one else they exploit.
They dont feel love and thier empathy is for themselves.

(42,550 posts)7. Sarah Palin used her kids as human shields when they were young.
Yes, as predicted, Philadelphia fans in the arena to see Sarah Palin drop the puck at a game between the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers booed her. "She was greeted by resounding (almost deafening) boos," Lynn Zinser writes at the New York Times' hockey blog.
From now on, you may refer to me as Carnac.
It really was hard to see this coming -- unless you've spent, oh, about five minutes in Philadelphia. Anyone who has set foot there should have known exactly what was going to happen. Philly sports fans booed Santa Claus. So why the McCain campaign thought this would go smoothly, I still don't know.
As you'll see in the video below, Palin did get a smattering of cheers. She had a plan to protect herself from the worst that Flyers fans could muster, and it looks like it may have worked, at least to an extent. At a fundraiser on Saturday afternoon, she explained, "I've been warned that Flyers fans, they get so enthused that they boo everybody at the drop of the puck. But what I thought I'd do is I'd put Piper in a Flyers jersey, bring her out with me. How dare they boo Piper!"
