Ten Simple Rules for Dating my Daughter Rule One : If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're sure not picking anything up. Rule Two : You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them. Rule Three : I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys your age to wear their trousers so loose that...

President Barack Obama used his weekly radio address to salute dads for Father's Day and tout his administration's efforts to help parents navigate the shaky economy. Mr. Obama, who has two daughters, said he has tried to be a good father. "I haven't always succeeded, of course—in the past, my job has kept me away from home more often than I liked," the president said. President Obama filled his address with tips for being a good father but above all, he said, "children need our unconditional love—whether they succeed or make mistakes; when life is easy and when life is...

Happy Father's Day!!

he American Family Association today criticized President Barack Obama for celebrating households headed by "two fathers" in his Father's Day proclamation. In his June 18 proclamation, the president said, "Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by...two fathers." "This is the first time in our nation's history that a president has used Father's Day as an excuse to promote the radical homosexual agenda and completely redefine the word 'family,'" said AFA president Tim Wildmon. "Virtually all Americans have the common sense to recognize that children need both a mother and a father. Rudimentary biology tells us...

How "strong" does Obama "feel" about [Islam] as his Muslim hard-drinker father left him at the age of 2? Rhetorical question. I always thought that alcohol is prohibited to Muslims, oh well, hypocrisy in that religion? not rare! --- The importance of fathers Atlanta Journal Constitution And I say all this as someone who grew up without a father in my own life, Obama went on. He left my family when I was two years old.http://blogs.ajc.com/cynthia-tucker/2010/06/21/obama-talks-about-the-importance-of-fathers/ Obama: 'I have been an imperfect father' - Father's Day Guide "As fathers," Obama writes, "we need to be involved in our children's lives...

A good Father's Day gift would be to reform the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), make it gender-neutral, and assure men that family courts will accord them constitutional rights equivalent to those enjoyed by murderers and robbers. VAWA will be coming up for its five-year reauthorization later this year, and that will be the time to hold balanced hearings and eliminate VAWA's discrimination against men. VAWA illustrates the hypocrisy of noisy feminist demands that we kowtow to their ideology of gender neutrality, to their claim that there is no difference between male and female, and to their opposition to stereotyping...

On the eve of Father's Day, I heard on the air on Chicago's WIND AM some typical left-wing babble about families. A fellow calling himself a doctor waxed eloquent over how we can "make our own families," and how "families aren't just about blood. They are about love." Nice, gauzy, and wholly inadequate to truly define the importance of family, isn't it? But it is this mushy-headed thinking that is so destructive to the role of real families in America today, especially where it concerns fathers. So, on this 2010 Father's Day I thought I'd correct the mushy-headed liberalism about...

Author's note: This piece is co-authored by Jeanne Monahan.This Father’s Day will be a celebration for dads all over the country, an opportunity for children to thank and honor their fathers. Yet for many men, the memory of involvement in a past abortion, of “cards they will not receive,” will be painful and palpable. In a debate where the primary focus is a woman’s body and a woman’s right to choose whether or not to carry a child to his or her delivery, the “other partner,” the father of the baby, is rarely given consideration, and is often completely disregarded...

Forty-seven years ago, the body my Dad lived in for 58 years, was gently lowered into the ground in Mt. Vernon Cemetery in the heart of beautiful Teays Valley, West Virginia. Today as I have nearly every day since his death, July 1, 1963, I thought of him - again trying to do the utterly impossible task of putting into words, feeble and faltering words, all that he means to me. He gave me and all his family priceless treasures, treasures beyond all earthly value, in both quantity and quality. He gave me love. I never knew what it was...

He awoke Sunday quite depressed Reminded of what lie ahead Not looking forward to going anywhere He had rather sleep late instead Sunday was always his favorite day After working hard all week Sleep late then watch the ball game Get some real R & R and peace Oh, he wanted to visit, but then again Ball games would be on all day What a bummer to miss any or all Why, his favorite team would play Guilt overrides, he knows he must go His mind starts devising a plan Make an appearance an hour or so Then leave as...

Linking to Pres. Obama's Father's Day proclamation, Drudge focuses on the recognition PBO extends to two-father families. I'd say the message's very first sentence is even more noteworthy: "From the first moments of life, the bond forged between a father and a child is sacred."

From Colbert King of the Washington Post: “Family, marriage and the contribution of fathers come together as topics for reflection on Fathers Day. So I’d like to know why Barack Obama, a husband and a father in a family structure that encompasses bonds deemed essential to our society, is constantly and savagely attacked by conservative leaders whose personal circumstances undermine the family values they espouse?” 1. His support of late-term abortion. 2. Being part of a church that preached racial division and a contempt for America. The Reverend Jeremiah Wright: “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes...

“The Father’s Day” (Galatians 3:23 – 4:7)Today is Fathers’ Day, a day when we honor our fathers for the blessing that they are to us. This is good and right that we do this--especially you fourteen-year-old girls out there in the congregation! Be sure to honor your father today! Now for many of us, our fathers are long gone. But that does not mean we don’t have a Father to honor today. In fact, I want to suggest to you that this is “The Father’s Day,” a great day to thank and praise our heavenly Father. Our text is the...

Tomorrow Is Father’s Day. Unlike those whose fathers are still alive, my father is now just a memory. My father had died in 1999 and what I do remember of him, he served this country in the Coast Guards during WW 2. He worked for Pratt And Whitney Aircraft and was an active member of the International Machinists union. Loved cats and dogs and just as important, loved this country.

Family, marriage and the contribution of fathers come together as topics for reflection on Father's Day. So I'd like to know why Barack Obama, a husband and a father in a family structure that encompasses bonds deemed essential to our society, is constantly and savagely attacked by conservative leaders whose personal circumstances undermine the family values they espouse?.......

No Better Gift for Father’s Day Take the Time to Write a Letter to Your Kids By: Tom McGrath Social scientists continue to report that many Americans, male and female, suffer from a “father hunger.” Growing up, they didn’t have sufficient experience of connection with their fathers. Dads worked away from the home—sometimes long hours—and often felt out of place in the mix of family life. Business success and the demands of being the main provider came at a great price for men in the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Many men sacrificed their awareness of just how fiercely they...

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the...

THINGS THE DUMBEST MAN IN THE WORLD TAUGHT ME Proverbs 1:8, “My son hear the instruction of thy father.” Pastor Terry Kent Hagedorn, Calvary Baptist Church, Reedsville, WV When I was fifteen (1965) I realized that my father was dumb. He had always been that way. It just had not been so apparent to me until I became a teenager. However, it was now becoming obnoxiously obvious to me that he was turning into THE dumbest man in the world! I am not exaggerating. It was a malignant condition. He kept getting worse. And, I kept getting more and more...
