I don't disagree that there are kids that are out of control BUT I do take issue with making it a Liberal vs. Conservative thing...
Being conservative doesn't give you a monopoly on being a bad parent.
Someone above touched on the issue... Many parents are too self centred. They don't understand that when you have kids it isn't all about you anymore. You need to spend time with your kids.
It is this lack of attention that leads to childeren being plunked down in front of the TV/Video Game/Internet with no supervision.
Add to this the fact that way too many parents have no idea how to disipline their kids (and I don't mean hitting them by that). I mean instilling in your kid a sense of responsibility (for their actions, themselves, etc) and consequences (if you don't live up to your responsibilities there will be a negative consequence).
This can only be accomplished by spending time and paying attention to your kids.
