Dear America, a father is needed.
He should be strong of will, stout of heart, and serious in demeanor. He must love without being effusive. And above all he must lead by example. He must have a soft spot for his daughters and tough hand with his sons. He must love his wife and family more than his own comforts because he understands that the duties he accepted are more important than momentary amusements.
We want a man that will growl when their sons step out of line, the kind of fellows young boys don’t want to cross not necessarily out of fear, but because they are loath to disappoint the old man. Give us a man who will happily show his gun collection to his daughter’s first boy friend. Let us have the man who those boyfriends can’t imagine calling anything other than “sir.”
Unfortunately, he is exactly the sort of man that liberals have targeted for elimination. Liberals hate words like maturity, protectiveness, patriarchy, and manliness.
Liberals celebrate backwards ball cap wearing, video game playing, punks who still want to act like they are 19 when they are nearing the 30s. Little boys who just want to have toys, see movies, go to concerts and jump into bed with what ever sort of woman strikes their fancy, the sort of man child who won’t think past a beer run planned for the weekend.
These are the kind of “men” that leave children alone with a woman struggling to survive. But they are just the kind liberals love because they leave human wreckage everywhere they go, people that big daddy government can rescue with big government programs and, naturally, more power for Democrats.
So, don’t give us Obama Pajama Boys. Forget their meterosexuals. We’ll take a pass on their “coexist” bumper stickers and their gutless Priuses.
We don’t want your Brad Pitts, your Phil Dunphys, your Charlie Sheens or your Zac Efrons.
Give us Hugh Beaumont, Father Knows Best, let’s have more like John Wayne and Robert Mitchum, please?
But whatever you do, give us real men who have a sense of morality. The country is in desperate need of them.
