Everyone remember the Dan Quayle/Murphy Brown matter?
And how Dan Quayle was crucified for allegedly attacking and denigrating single mothers and all that?
Since then , we just aren’t allowed to have debates and discussions about the importance of fathers, or the roles of fathers in raising children.
We aren’t allowed to say boys need a father.
Heck we aren’t allowed to say that girls growing up benefit from a father.
There’s a hell.of a lot we aren’t allowed to say about these subjects, and after Dan Quayle, politicians are scared to say anything.
So we are just supposed to accept that single motherhood, or ad hoc arrangements such as two lesbian mothers are just as beneficial as married couples raising children.
And if you say otherwise, you are attacked as hating single moms, or hating lesbian mothers , or hating welfare mothers, etc. We never get to have a substantive discussion, because political correctness demands that so called haters must be silenced
Well, supportive chatter is nice. But relying on the chattering class has not helped conservatism. It took a man who is not an idealogue but who cares about the country and is willing to do what actually works over some egghead theory. Someone with cojones who is willing to actually DO things.
Another pluspoint to Trump is that. the FR is largely purged of its shadow deep staters.
“As a libertarian, I think all consenting adults who want to commit to a life partner ought to be treated the same way”
Why just one partner?
