Did you ever think that the reason she did what she did was in the interest of other people’s children? She is confident that her own are fine and will be fine. Try and look at it with more fairness people. Whether you believe it will make a difference or that she shouldn’t have interfered, she is trying to think about the future (our children). Being close minded about people only fuels the problems we have in this country. We want to be right and it doesn’t matter if there is another way to do something. We don’t have to have an opinion on everything everyone does. Start focusing your time on meaningful pursuits, like being a positive role model to the next generation or bridging a gap between you and someone not like you.

Wow, so much venom here. So what exactly is everyone so furious about? So they have 19 kids..their ability to care for them without government help? or the fact that they seem to be happy acually happy being a religious family?Or perhaps that Michelle stood up for something she believed in? Last I heard this was still a free country and it was still not illegal to express one’s opinion. Michelle merely expressed her right to protest. In my humble opinion the anger should be expressed toward the officials that denied the license. It seems to me that it is so much easier to hide behind a key board and spout hatred and insults at someone’s beliefs than to actually stand up for what you believe in. If you are all so angered by the fact that there will be no liquor there then why don’t you go there and protest yourselves? what?….no takers? thought so.

just bcz she is against alcohol doesn’t make her a bad person.Yal should be focused on the people living off welfare and spending your money on the alcohol that causes alot of accidents and kills alot of innocent people.At least the Duggar’s can say they don’t live off the government.And so what if they have a big family.God did say “be fruitful and mutiply.” Whats it to any of you as long as your money isn’t paying for their living.And so what if the older kids help out with the younger ones,kids in this day are spoiled,sefish human beins and for the most part live by the ‘getway’and not the ‘giveway’.And the Duggar kids are the opposite and will be good productive people in society.At least they will not be living off of the government because of the upbringing they’v had.We should all be looking upto there standards.Im not against drinking but Im against people judging those for what they believe in.

If I had 19 children I would want an IV of beer. Seriously.

Let’s not just blame Ma Duggar for breeding like a rabbit (really nearly a fish at this point). In their religion, the guy makes ALL the decisions and she just “submits.” She turned her brain off years ago. It takes two to make a baby and he’s definitely the boss of her. Blame him, too.

This twit breeds like a rabbit, yet she feels compelled to complain about beer being sold in a store down the street? She is doing much more harm to her environment, by infesting it with more and more people, than an occasional beer enjoyed by a neighbor will ever do.

One more thing…

This is tangential, but I’m originally from TX, as well; and there are definitely zoning laws. I don’t recall the number of meters/feet, but in the city of Houston an “adult business” cannot be within a specified number of feet from a school. There’s always some controversy on the news about some titty joint being shut down because they stupidly decide to open up near a Catholic school or some similar institution.

@ SageAdvice, You took the words right out of my head.

Something that I’m not understanding….was this, indeed, a town vote or not? The article (so far as I can be lead to believe) states that the store was about to get the go-ahead, until she shot off her mouth. So, either the town voted “yes” or it was a decision that was not subjected to a vote. If this is true, than she can voice her concerns until the cows come home but her sole opinion should not tip the decision (provided there was no vote or the vote was “yes”). If others agree with her than they should have spoken up, as well. Their silence suggests their complicity with the beer license. As long as too few said anything, however, it suggests that the license denial was primarily her doing, which isn’t right. She and the potential ones who share their beliefs don’t get the right to deny other people based on their morality, particularly if they are in the minority.

@ Praise: That was my immediate thought as well. As if they needed to deflect all the negative voices about her latest child-birth.

Praise St. Angie!: It makes me wonder that, too.

I remember reading someone here in the comments saying how they really like the Duggars because, unlike the Gosselines, they aren’t filmed doing anything they wouldn’t normally do.

Well, I think that’s patently BS. There’s some new episode in which the kids go riding in a helicopter. The oldest son’s daughter’s family was brought to the house in a stretch limo. They wouldn’t have even had that ginormous house had TLC not paid for it!

And if this was staged for their show, well, that’s going in a whole new direction as well.
