This article reinforces a conversation we had at a party last night about the importance of men (dads if possible) in our sons' lives. Here is an excerpt:
Government is not a real dad. Or husband, for that matter. We have countenanced for too long those who accumulate political power by nurturing a dependent and shiftless underclass, and the chickens have finally come home to roost, only they aren'’t chickens,— they are vipers. We are talking about strong able-bodied men whose assistance, whose muscle power, was needed for that very thing God gave them muscles for -— the protection and care of the weaker -— and who could find nothing to do to be of service and help in a disaster. Who bent their will to pillaging and worse.
This idea that who raises the children does not matter is a dangerous one. Kids, especially boys, need dads, and if dad is not fit (drug addict, etc.) other men need to step up to the plate and help single moms out. What we really need to do, though, is nip this idea in the bud that having a mom *and* a dad is not important. Click on the title to read the whole article.
