Oppressive Secular Gov't Arrests Parents For Giving Kids Permanent Crosses

Patty Jo Marsh only wants the best for her children. She serves them Kraft mac and cheese rather than the generic brand that comes in the plain white box. The same goes for dips, I'm sure she buys them the best that the American Smokeless Tobacco Company has to offer: Skoal and Copenhagen rather than that candy-ass Kodiak chew.

And when it came time to give her kids a genuine Christian prison tattoo, she turned to her husband, a practiced amateur with a guitar-string-needle, rather than a professional tattman, because that's how it's done in the joint.

There was a time when authenticity meant something in America.

But the secularslamunistofascist government of Georgia denies parents the right to give their children genuine Christian prison tattoos. They hate Jesus and all he represents. That includes prison, the place where so many of us find Him and receive the guitar-string-needle sacrament of the blue-inked cross.

Now, Patty Jo and her husband stand accused of cruelty to children, reckless conduct and tattooing. Please pray for them.

  4. Tattooing without a permit is a pretty serious offense in Georgia. I have a friend get arrested for it only a few weeks ago, no lie.

  5. My favorite charge is “tattooing without a license.” Just has a nice ring to it.

  6. Sorry, this one's depressing for me.

    As lame as these parents are, and I am in no way defending them or their actions, there are now 7 more kids in the system. I hope they are placed in loving homes, but separation from parents, no matter how awful (including physically abusive), is a serious trauma to child. I am not advocating that the kids stay with their parents, but simply removing the parents will not stop the downward spiral of the lives of these kids. Here's hoping the Georgia family services is well funded and well staffed.

  7. k pr,

    Georgia socialist services are run by republikkkans. How "well funded" do you think they're gonna be?

  8. GordonA, unfortunately and more importantly and irregardless of the funding, they just don't give a shit. It's a have and have not thing. The have nots are the kids for whom they (ept,. of Human Resources) are the only safety net, the haves generally don't need a safety net, they can afford to buy their own.

    The other problem is, remember the "Get a Brain MORANS protester guy, it's hard to legislate protections against stupidity and ignorance...it somehow slips through. More education would do alot more to solve that problem.

  9. k pr: the biological mother is not in jail, though we don't know if she is a decent god-fearing Christian or not. Hopefully she won't make the kids study or anything else that smacks of socialism-elitism-non-guitar-string-tatooism.

  10. Which kid got tattooed first. I assume the most ugly, stupid one was chosen for practise.

  11. knowdoubt: totally not hatin', but it's 'regardless' and 'a (space) lot'.

  12. My parents did not PHYSICALLY tattoo the words "You're worthless!" on my body. But when they're repeated often enough, and at loud enough volume, those words are tattooed on the soul. No parents ever got arrested for that, though...

  13. Brendan: I am aware of the controversy the word has caused since it first appeared in the early twientith century and as for alot, I just prefer it that way...saves a keystroke, but you're welcome to write it anyway you please.

  14. ... perhaps the gummint should have an exam for potential parenthood. You know, where they ask if watching the ball game or going to bingo is more important than the rugrat's well bean (dumb question, sheesh..)

  15. FTW: "“If I’m such a bad parent, then how come they brought the kids back right after I got out jail?" Marsh asked."

    Aaaand, the gavel goes down.

  16. Actually, knowdoubt, my Sainted Irish Mother prefers disirregardless.

  17. "Disregardless," I love it, I like to be on the cutting edge, but she's got it - gives the word even more emphasis. I live about thirty miles from the "tattoo artists" this could, what's the word?, "go viral" around here. The South may rise again. Thanks, my vocabulary has been improved thanks to "The Generals Blog,". Thanks all, specially everybody.

  18. Oh no, knowdoubt, it’s even better than that! Disirregardless! There’s a whole ’nother syllable in there! Dis plus irregardless! It’s like the word was made in heaven. Sigh.

    Thanks, Moms.

  19. "Disirregardless," A triple negative, now that took heavenly inspiration, I am impressed, as should be everyone, else. I can't stop thinking of the possibilities...like not disinclined.

  20. I love the whole idea that every part of the country has its own local argot. I know “irregardless” is popular in Southern Illinois, for example. Have no idea where the Moms came up with “disirregardless,” but it’s just too good to pass up. Chicago is rife with all sorts of linguistic peculiarities, like saying you’re going “over by” a place, instead of “to” a place: I’m goin’ over by the Jewels [which, by the way, is a grocery chain known as “Jewel,” not “Jewels”]; or I’m goin’ over by my cousin’s in Melrose … Mike Royko was a master of Chicago-ese. Every fourth of July he told this great story about how as a kid, Slats Grobnik managed to procure a rather large quantity of illegal fireworks. Asked how he came by the contraband, Slats was reputed to have said, “Guynatruck comeroundsellnum.” That’s two words: “Guynatruck” and “comeroundsellnum” … And you wonder why Rahm Emanuel wants to be the mayor of this town!

  21. I love regional linguistic peculiarities, I grew up in the South and reside not far from a small town in NW Georgia. I would love to document some of the linguistic peculiarities of conversations I hear in a small local establishment (auto parts store) where "locals" tend to congregate. Authoritarian types fro some reason have difficulty appreciating the richness of these "local" language peculiarities. As for Rahm, it would probably be a good thing for him to become something else, somewhere else.
