Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Masculine values are vanishing from within our nation faster than a Chimichanga dipped in motor oil would zip through your digestive tract.  A myopic Cyclops can see that.  Look, if you’re a girl or a girlie man, well then . . . this is your day, Girlfriend.  So, get on with your bad self.  Girl power . . . girl power . . . girl, girl, girl, girl power!

I’m sorry; I got caught up in all the emotion and kinda lost it there for a sec.  Now, where was I?  Oh yeah.  The neckerchief wearing “progressives” are ruining their new manicures working hard to have our nation Nancified.  Make no mistake about it:  misandry (man hatred) is now the dominating motif of postmodernism.

If you’re the parent of a son and you want your kid to be a boy in the traditional, non-gender- blurred sense of the word, then you’re going to be busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger finding and keeping good masculine examples for your young son.  As I stated in last week’s column, good luck finding holy testosterone in Hollywood, in government schools and in the ridiculously feminized evangelical world. 

The day has come when you, as a parent, are going to have to be defiant for your son’s masculine rights and upbringing.  The man haters have an ideological agenda and some prescription med’s ready to rid your boy of all his distinct behavioral traits—and it’s your job, mom and dad, to make certain these jack asses don’t lay their gloves on him.  Pink Floyd’s “Hey, teacher, leave these kids alone” line from “Another Brick in The Wall” takes on a whole new meaning in this new millennium as far as sons are concerned. 

One great source for rebellious inspiration comes from the Bible.  The scripture is a great font for prissy, culture-defying fodder.  In the scripture you see the men being men, and the demons being scared.  You don’t have to wade very far through the holy text before God starts laying down His blueprint for the boys.  You find God’s plan in book one, chapter one.

Gen.1.26-28.

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”  So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.  Then God blessed them, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.

What does God want His kid with the gonads to be?  Well, here are six of the characteristics:  a kid who is comfortable in the wild, who’s ready to rule, is a savvy steward, is a dragon slayer, pursues wisdom and reflects the image of God.  Having covered the necessity of the wild in your kids’ upbringing in last week’s column, let’s check out God’s desire to make him a conqueror. 

Born to Rule/Take Dominion. 

God’s initial earth boy was born to dominate creation and to exercise authority over the planet.  God designed His first terrestrial son to be a leader, to take charge, to exert influence.  Yaweh didn’t construct Adam to be a passive clod, some indolent handout addict who abnegates his responsibility to other people or institutes; but rather, Adam was to be a bold and imaginative chief.  This is the very thing the misandrists hate in men and are trying desperately to curb in your kid, namely, this can-do spirit. 

Parent, you should encourage your bambino to lead, compete and conquer.  Whether it is subduing his backyard, his dirty bedroom or an opposing team, or mastering a musical instrument, a textbook or a chore—your son should learn to govern, be the champion and strive for excellence in accomplishment in all that he does. 

Look, according to the scripture, your son is a natural born leader who will naturally want to control.  It is only, and I mean only, when boys are cowed by abusive authority, Ritalined out of their brains or indoctrinated to believe this God-given behavior is bad that they turn into the followers, the veritable sheeples of stupid cultural morays, folding to high pressure peers and ideological BS.  With the leader funk removed from their trunk, now the boys become tofu for the man haters.  Now they become malleable little spongy play things and are no longer steel-willed competitive leaders.   Yes, they become nice, placid cooperators and doormats to fools and foes.  God never intended a boy, your boy, to be this.

Therefore, parent, your job is twofold:  1) Unleash the leadership beast within your boy and 2) Superintend it to make sure it doesn’t get weird; rather ensure it is used for the purpose of justice, truth, provision and protection.  Take God’s lead and show your son how to exercise dominion rather than how to get in touch with his feminine side.  Maw and Paw, stand against the swill of society that seeks to erase this grand masculine trait from your little treasure and teach that kid how to be a constructive conqueror.
