Spot-on analysis; it’s not a coincidence.
I clicked through to that sump of garbage. Two popups and one obnoxious video that I really didn’t want, running at full blast sound. If there was any content there it really wasn’t worth reaching.
Awful, ain’t it?
You go humblegunner!!!!! Shoot down those blogs like an ace pilot.

Thank you for your input. The divorce rate has been increasing dramatically so obviously the roles presently being acted out by both men and women is not leading to more stable relationships.
Even if one does not agree with author Mansfield’s advice about how to be a manly man, at least someone is looking at what might be causing the breakdown of the family in America.
For every action there is a reaction and what is being seen in society today, so many broken homes, may be a cause and effect.
Your obsession with the Examiner/examiner.com being a ‘fake’ website is rather humorous. Thread after thread here bemoans the “MSM” and “lamestream media,” and the NYT/WaPo/ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN lock on media. What’s wrong with a pro-am media outlet that’s very local? No one is making anyone else read the articles.
You betcha.
it’s gotten to the point where I just look for your comment as soon as there is a blog post heh. Usually you’re pretty quick on the draw, but one I had to scroll down a bit.
Thanks, humblegunner. I am so tired of these fake stories repeatedly appearing on FR in the guise of real news. Someone posts a personal blog and then posts on FR to say “see here, here is some news you must see” and then gets his self-importance puffed up even more because of that? No thanks. I am with you, mate. Let them post on their own site.
This Obama economy has slowed everything down. True story.
All I know is my marriage works, I’ve no complaints from the wife, and I don’t try to be ‘The Boss’, wear the pants or be ‘head of household, I just do job, take care of what needs to be taken care of and cherish her.
People who concern themselves with who is playing what role, if something is ‘manly’ enough or ‘hetrosexual’ enough or crap like that are just insecure in their own sexuality and self confidences. Not my place to judge anybody else’s relationship and anybody thinking they can judge mine gets to look at a middle finger from one hand and a nice shiny King Cobra in the other.
What most bloggers (especially Examibloggers) will do
is see a story somewhere and re-write it a bit or even
flat out rip it off.
Then, because the MSM is so bad, their version is accepted
in some places simply because it “isn’t MSM”. Well, it
actually IS the same material.. just changed a word or
two and branded differently.
Just because the MSM is a crap sandwich doesn’t mean that
the same crap is palatable on a different brand of bread.
Nor that we should reward the crap thieves.

Like yourself I have had a successful marriage based on love and respect. I think the author is trying to provide information for men who did not have role models such as my husband and apparently yourself.
Not only is divorce increasing in America but also the incidence of domestic violence at ever level of society. The question is “why” and what can be changed to remedy the problems.
Preaching to the choir here, mate. The particular poster here even brags that it gets paid for hits to the fake "news" website but that it is all for the good because "it's for the children!" -I mean, "goes to charity(s)!"
Seriously? I know full well that if I established a new account on FR and continually posted links to a personal blog-posting on another site in the guise of "news" or even as you noted just a restatement of a previously posted news story, hopefully from a more valid source, and then publicly admitted it here, I would be banned so fast I doubt that there would be more than a dozen IBTZ ( In Before The Zot ) answers could appear. And yet some other posters think this particular series of postings is somehow acceptable for some reason?
I can only hazard a guess that there is more than one poster here who finds this particular practice perfectly acceptable. As long as their personal income is helped by the increased hits on their particular site as well, of course.
YOU are the "author".
You are trying to provide yourself a few hits.
Were the message your focus, you would have just posted the material here.
The news said the Obama White House brought in the sexiest man alive to help promote Obamacare. Lies. They never contacted me and I wouldn’t have done it anyway.

I had to laugh, along with many other people, when I read that girlygirly Adam Levine was the sexiest man and who is now pimping for Obamacare. Fitting role for him. :-)
“I just gave up my man purse last week. I am man, hear me roar !!!!! :-)”
I had a cute little man purse I used to wear when I went out for a run. I carried a Glock 26 in it. :)
Sounds ideal.
What can be done? May I respectfully and humbly offer a suggestion?
Raise up daughters that respect themselves and demand respect.
Who can shoot, ride (horse IR harley), break a brick barehanded, work a hard job when it’s got to be done and refuse to mate or even give the time of day to dogs, whimps and girley men.
The kind of woman that knows where her gun is AND her makeup kit, considers herself my equal in everything except sheer brute upper body strength, can tell me when I am too drunk to drive, making an ass of myself or in any other way necessary chastise and correct me when I have it coming,
We guys will be whatever gets us the attention, affection and procreation of the opposite sex. If being a soap opera loving metrosexual wuss is what gets women in the sack then in short order a society is going to have a LOT of soap opera loving Oprah worshippers.
Just my observation, I could be wrong.
