Okay, they’re idiots. And most likely mutants of some sort.

Anyone who would name their kids Adolph Hitler Campbell and JoyceLynn Aryan Nations Campbell probably need a serious dose of reality. A solid slap alongside their pointy heads would be a good place to start but I’m not sure I agree with the state stepping in to take the kids because they don’t like their names:

A 3-year-old boy named Adolf Hitler and his two Nazi-named younger sisters were removed from their New Jersey home last week and placed in state custody, police said.

Adolf Hitler Campbell and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, were taken from their Holland Township, N.J., home on Friday by the state’s Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS), Sgt. John Harris of the Holland Township Police Department told FOXNews.com.

Their father, Heath Campbell, is expected in court Thursday in Flemington, N.J., in connection with the case.

The state is saying that it wasn’t just the names that caused them to take the kids, but they aren’t being forthcoming with any other reasons. I find that a bit on the smelly side of ripe. The state is usally eager to let you know all about why they’re rescuing a kid from some abusive circumstance. But….not this time.

Those two parents are great arguments for there being some kind of test before you get to have kids, just like you have to test before you get a driver’s license. That being said, however, there isn’t. There also aren’t rules about what you can name your kids. If there were, Moon Unit Zappa and Dweezel Zappa would probably be named something else entirely, not to mention many others who exist in the altered state universe of Hollywood.

I just have a problem with the state stepping in just because they don’t like what someone named their kid. Will the kid have a hard time in school? Oh, hell yes. Will he be warped beyond recognition as a human being because his parents thought it was cute to name him after one of the greatest mass murderers in history? Most likely. Or….maybe not. Who can tell for sure? In the meantime it’s not up to the state to take him away from his imbecilic parents just because of his name.

On the surface it looks like the state is at it again, just like the polygamist compound episode of not so long ago. If their reasoning for taking the kids lies with the kid’s names, they should back off.

I wonder, though, if they could just send someone to their house who rings the doorbell (if they have one) and when the parents answer they would ask if they’re Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, and when the mutants say, “yes”.....WHAP! Right alongside the head. That’s for naming your kid Adolph Hitler, you boob. Have a nice day.

Now THAT’S a nanny state action I could live with.
