Happy Father’s Day for All

June 21st, 2009 · 5 Comments

I’d like to wish a happy Father’s Day to everyone out there, because even those of us who are not fathers all have one. So whether you have children or not, and whether your father is still with you or not, I hope today brings you some happy time with your children and your father or your memories of the man who brought you to life.

However, I would also like everyone to think about the men who cannot be with their children for whatever reason. The men who are serving overseas, away on business, imprisoned, and most tragically, those who have been deliberately eliminated from their children’s lives, all deserve our deepest sympathy. So, too, do all children who have been deprived of a father.

Father’s Day should be a happy day, but for too many it reveals the void left in the hearts of fathers and children from a broken family. Even as those of us who are lucky enough to spend time with our children and fathers enjoy our time together with those we love, we should take some time to think about those less fortunate than we are and resolve to help bring children and their fathers together.

I’ll sign off with the final words of an ancient book:

And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Malachi 4:6

    In the matriarchy that our establisment is building *on purpose*, there is little room for a father’s role. Hence few celebrate fathers day.

    It’s still worth celebrating.

    Oh I agree with you Lukobe, its certainly worth celebrating.

    What we are seeing is a legal -strategy- by the cultural marxists to take children away from men and make the the mother’s property wholly and completely, and to give the mother such incentives to divorce the father that she loses respect for him and treats him like the expendable accessory the leftist’s tell her constantly that he is, so she ditches him.

    When we get to where 75% of all marriages end in divorce, you’ll see the left really go on the offensive to end the “outdated institution” of marriage in favor of high taxes on all men to pay for women to have children and have free day care (which will in turn employ many more women with no appreciable skills and beholden the kids to real abuse both mental political indoctrination and physical abuse by the kinds of perverts who want to get their hands on kids). Then we will be getting close to that “legalized community of women” Marx wrote about in the Communist Mannifesto.

    The left never “gives up”, they have simply just attempted to impose cultural marxism through the back door in the culture, knowing it might take 100 years to rot this apple (our society) from the inside out. The real danger in facing the left isn’t an outright takeover of your country by them (Soviet Russia), its the way they will infiltrate your institutions and culture (through entertainment and propaganda) and push for things that slowly drage the culture towards their vision for humanity.

    Matriarchies are inherently left wing and make virtual wage slaves out of most men, and leave children fatherless and directionless to be raised by the state…………………while mothers work, and bilogical fathers pay for it all with their paychecks. THIS is the endgame these folks want to work towards.

    I figure by mid-century, we could pretty much be there if we dont get things turned around.

    There are ways around this, but people have to be mindful of the other side’s goals.

    I think the plight of John Gosselin is very emblematic of what “nice guys” face out there with our “new” women. That guy was everything that liberals tell men to be………………….and look what it got him

    I was disturbed to see the only yahoo headline about Father’s Day relating how the holiday was almost “laughed out of existence.”

    Controlling the symbolic associations is what the liberal media is all about. The paradigm is clear as day, and is exhibited across the board — Men’s issues: laughable, lucky to exist.

    It’s probably not a bad idea to get the state out of marriage.

    I don’t see a males-only tax ever being passed in the U.S., though. I would say it’s plainly unconstitutional, but perhaps it’s not. Time to pass the ERA!
