In 1995 book Jeb Bush suggested that public shaming and ridicule were good ways to keep women from having babies out of wedlock.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

Public shaming would be an effective way to regulate the “irresponsible behavior” of unwed mothers, misbehaving teenagers and welfare recipients, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) argued in his 1995 book Profiles in Character. 

In a chapter called "The Restoration of Shame,” the likely 2016 presidential candidate made the case that restoring the art of public humiliation could help prevent pregnancies “out of wedlock.” 

"One of the reasons more young women are giving birth out of wedlock and more young men are walking away from their paternal obligations is that there is no longer a stigma attached to this behavior, no reason to feel shame. Many of these young women and young men look around and see their friends engaged in the same irresponsible conduct. Their parents and neighbors have become ineffective at attaching some sense of ridicule to this behavior. There was a time when neighbors and communities would frown on out of wedlock births and when public condemnation was enough of a stimulus for one to be careful." 

Bush points to Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter, in which the main character is forced to wear a large red "A" for "adulterer" on her clothes to punish her for having an extramarital affair that produced a child, as an early model for his worldview. "Infamous shotgun weddings and Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter are reminders that public condemnation of irresponsible sexual behavior has strong historical roots,” Bush wrote.

Well good to know that if we elect Jeb Bush to the White House that he will try to bring back the public shaming of women.

And seriously how does a guy like this have the nerve to write a book with the title "Profiles in Character?"

Seriously fuck this guy and everything he stands for!

      AS if any member of the Bush clan knows a thing about "character" All born into wealth, and act as though they should be worshipped. The "smart one" proves each time he speaks that he is NOT smart at all. Georgie has a wonky eye also too. The entire family has done more than enough damage to this country, with failed wars, failed savings and loan companies and other dirty deeds. They have taken the taxpayers money much more than any welfare recipient has. Getting paid just because their name is Bush is a load of crap. Too bad not a single one of them has any real intelligence. Barbara Bush is an ugly person, inside and out. Stuck with GHW for the "prestige" even when he had a 10 year affair with Jennifer Fitzgerald. Google her. I wonder how often old GHW wished he had gone through with the divorce and married her?

      If you followed this blog, you would know that we riddle Bristol, not for her child, but for pretending that after she had him, she was once again a virgin, while she trotted out trial husband after trial husband. Remember when she got that condo in Anchorage, because she was going to be independent? I forget the name of the guys who lived there with her and her son. Then there was Gino, and how many others? Sorry, but she was not shamed by us because of her pregnancy, but because of her fake values. Had she had one son, gotten married, and behaved herself, no problem. She didn't and she can't, so we will comment.

      Dear Corrine,
      Bristol gets called out first and foremost because she is a public figure. A paid abstinence supporter who got knocked up( more than a bit of hypocracy there). Bristol also gets called out when she publicly goes against something on her public "christian" blog when she obviously has not been to church in years( dropping your child off for a free summer program doesn't count) yet doesn't live up to the biblical standards she wants others to.
      She also gets called out for being an Fing poor parent.
      Gte Bristol to either shut the fuck up or live by her preaching, until then she has publicly open game.

      Nobody is shaming Bristol for being an unwed mother.

      We shame her for being a shitty mother who seems only interested in exploiting her son and running through a list of "trial daddies" while preventing Tripp's real daddy from having fair access.

      Personally, I'd applaud Bristol if she shut up, got a real job, and took care of her son before her next foray into the dating/marriage pool.

Her life has been miserable despite all that money. She came close to divorcing him a few times, but Babs talked her out of it, since it would look unseemly for a president to be divorced. Especially since he was a BUSH. So, maybe justice has been done for the young man who lost his life to the Stepford Wife Laura.

    ...As an example of such shaming, and proof that Republicans want to take America back to the 1850s, Bush cited Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet Letter, in which a woman is forced to wear an “A” meaning “adulterer” on her clothes for everyone to see because she had a child stemming from an extramarital affair.

    Of course, as Raw Story points out, “Bush makes no mention that the other adulterer in the novel was the local minister, who powerful actors continue to protect and admire for the duration of the book.”

    Bush goes on to suggest publicly humiliating people who need federal assistance and kids who do something wrong.

    And it’s not like Bush has changed his stance on public humiliation since 1995. Six years later, Bush allowed a bill to become law as Governor of Florida forcing women and girls to publicize their names, physical descriptions, and sexual histories in newspapers if they chose to put their unwanted child up for adoption after a rape or unprotected sex caused them to become pregnant. The courts struck down the unconstitutional law and it was repealed in 2003.

    In short, Bush has a history and obsession with punishing women who don’t live up to his strict conservative “Christian” standards. Make no mistake, if he were to become president, he could sign similar legislation into law at the federal level, especially since he would have a Republican-controlled House and Senate at his beck and call. And a conservative-leaning Supreme Court that can’t be trusted to stop him.

      You need to marry the guy who knocked you up, even if it would never work out or if he abuses you. And don't even think about getting a divorce, even in those cases. It's better to be miserable and abused than to be a single mother. Children thrive in households where parents are fighting all the time, even physically.

      Actually, women, should keep their legs closed until they are married. Men, on the other hand, can stick it anywhere they want, married or not.

      Well, look at the miserable marriages the Bush clan has lived through. GHW and Babs, he wanted a divorce to marry Jennifer Fitzgerald. He was told that his political career would be over if he did that. So the affair continued for 10 years. Laura wanted a divorce from drunken Georgie, but Babs convinced her to stay, to protect their "image" Jebby has had numerous affairs, maybe he had a casectomy to prevent any unwanted prgnancies? Neal gave his wife an STD after trips to Hong Kong. Once their youngest child turned 18, Babs told her to move out of a house (with the kids) since THEY owned it. Marvin, the brother nobody mentions, was head of security at the WTC when it came down. He disappeared right after that.He had a babysitter for many years who was killed by her own car, crushing her between the car and a brick wall!! Her son said there was no obituary published, even though she had been their babysitter for many years. I wonder what SHE knew?? The entire family is "sub par" yet think they are royalty.

    Jeb may have had "stellar" academic credentials but he must have missed a class on "The Scarlet Letter"--Nathaniel Hawthorne was highlighting the hypocrisy of the town that shamed Hester Prynne as much as he was writing about her "sin". Hester leads an otherwise moral life--caring for the poor and the sick--and I don't know how one would conclude from that novel that public shaming is a positive force for anyone any time.

    Public shaming of pregnant women, combined with a complete absence of birth control, complete absence of sex education and STD prevention, complete absence of abortions (including tubal/ectopic pregnancies, anacephalus pregnancies, and other pregnancies that are ensured to endanger the lives of both mother and child, and even kill them. This combined with a refusal to provide rape kits, a refusal to process (as in, throwing them into the waste basket) DNA rape evidence that finds its way into the police force, the insistence that spousal and partner abusers are nevertheless fully entitled to all their gun rights, a fight against any medical help for women during pregnancy and childbirth, a refusal to provide for maternal leave immediately after birth, and now a move toward insisting that women not only support their own children, but somehow figure out how to provide free baby-sitting for them while they are away at work. Jeb adheres to ALL of these policies, all of which are terribly destructive to both families, children, and society at large. Pro-life, my foot. This combo is the exact OPPOSITE of pro-life on every level.

    But if he wants to begin with public shaming of unwed mothers (and the men who impregnated them) I suggest he look no farther than some of his ReTHUG buddies - Schwarzenegger, Bill Young, Watts, Burton, Palin and his brohter Neil.

    He's got some nerve. What does he think his bro W was up to while stationed in Alaska. Wouldn't surprise me if there were some Bush babies around, if you know what I mean.
    Also, he appears to have Sarah Palin Eyes.

    I find it disconcerting that increasing numbers of teens want to have babies without any means to support them. They believe they are entitled or are enabled by friends and family who buy necessities, toys, clothing and assist with food stamp applications and condone them dropping out of school.

    When public examples including Bristol Palin do not model stepping up to adult parental responsibilities such as working to pay for a crib, their medical bills, diapers and their parents do not give them crash courses in the expenses involved this is a disservice to society and children.

    The trend seems extreme to birth a play thing, or someone to love the parent and let responsible others pay the price.

      The trend is actually the opposite. Fewer teens are getting pregnant, not more.

      Because Bristol Palin's father is 1/4 native Alaskan, Bristol and all her offspring get free medical care for life.

    Here's some great news, Gryphen!

    Rush Limbaugh is cooked: The stunning fall of the right’s angriest bloviator

    The bad news just keeps coming for conservative talker Rush Limbaugh.

    Which bulletin was worse, though? The news in April that he was being dropped by WIBC in Indianapolis, a booming talk powerhouse that played home to Limbaugh’s radio show for more than two decades, or the news this week that the talker’s new address on the Indianapolis dial is going to be WNDE, a ratings doormat AM sports station that has so few listeners it trails the commercial-free classical music outlet in town?

    The humbling, red-state tumble is just the latest setback for the conservative talker who has seen his once-golden career suffer a steady series of losses recently.

    Jeb Bush implies by his dumbass comment, that men are simply too dimwitted to be given any responsibility for pregnancies.

    Its like he imagines human males wandering around, spewing sperm, and women being too stupid to get out of its way--so its 100% their fault.

    You would think that Barbara Bush would have taught her boys at least SOMETHING about this...instead of unleashing moronic men into the world of sex and politics.

    All four Bush boys have had shady dealings of one sort or another. The latest New York magazine has a devastating look at some of Jeb's barely legal dealings after he left the governor's office -- plus some of his shenanigans while governor.
    You don't want this man with shady moral boundaries, who made money in a scam, to be the President of the United States.
    Neil and Marvin were also involved in shady/illegal deals. Geo. W. Bush has been well-documented.
    Time to leave the Bushes behind, where they belong. The laws don't apply to them. That's all you need to know.

    The one point I have not seen mentioned so far concerning Jeb's comment is about the child. Remember the song "Love Child" by the Supremes? Slamming the mother also slams the child and that's just wrong. It's right up there with sins of the father, which of course, is exactly in line with the repubes ideas.

  49. Because it's all the women's fault dontchaknow.

    Any suggestions for shaming the men who got those women pregnant? Or is that just boys will be boys?

    Love that pick. Cross eyed doofus. Man, I am so happy he's running just for the fodder it will provide for political cartoonists and late night comedians. Jon Stewart, you are retiring too soon. Stephen Colbert, you are taking too long to get back on the air. John Oliver, fantastic job but you need to be on more than once a week.

    Which bush is smarter?
    Jeb, Sarah or GW? Palin Ties Iraq to 9/11 Attacks. In her speech yesterday to Iraq-bound troops in Alaska—a brigade that includes her oldest son, Track—Palin linked the war in Iraq with the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Washington Post reports, making a connection the Bush administration has long since stopped making.
