(37,648 posts)It would be interesting to know Flake's votes and stance on the school lunch programs for poor kids that the Republicans want to do away with in stages, starting with cuts and making it difficult to qualify for it. His brother is a psychologist. Now that the Flakes have money and don't need help with food and such any more.
The town he's from, Snowflake, was named after his great-great-grandfather, who spent time in the pen for polygamy, I think. Flake is a Mormon, so may be delighted the young woman in the video can't get birth control. She's not supposed to have sex before marriage, and after marriage, is supposed to have as many kids as possible.

Don't Mormons typically band together to help each other out?

But few would bother to think past, "She's saying something I like so her logic and set of facts must be right. After all, I'm right."
We don't teach a theory of rights, we don't get a consist set of views on rights. Instead, much of this really boils down to, "It's right because I currently like it." That may change tomorrow, or by person, and there's no cogent, clear way of discussing it except, "Is, too! ... Is not! ... Is, too! ... Is not!" Even as a teen, I thought Python's Argument Clinic sketch was spot-on.
My parents were confused by it.
