See my post #12 and tell me what you think.
I don’t think he’s a joke (even unintentionally) and he’s angry about how he sees this culture going. There has been a 50 year attack on the family courtesy of NOW.
And he may have a point about the black mother, I don’t know. I wasn’t checking boxes, just taking in the general message of “there was no father in the house” in all of the stories. Same with whether the men were masculine/macho/toughs, or pajama boys, wimps, or proud gay men.
I watched about 8 or 9 minutes before I posted a comment. I didn’t watch the whole thing.
This “advocacy” advertising that Angel Soft took up is strange. Some other advertiser recently ran another (same sex?) advocacy stunt. The ads have NOTHING to do with the product being sold.
Does any sponsor run “dear old dad” ads outside of Budwheiser or whoever during the Superbowl? Any traditional families without snark?
I gave up on tv 8 years ago because the broadcasters and advertisers turned their backs on me, my politics, my religion, my beliefs and traditions. Too much bias in the news, too much hostility from the comedy and commentary shows.
My “safe area” is a DVD player, a turntable, and a radio.
I watch some new releases on DVD, not strictly into nostalgia and reruns. However, I choose to let it in my home and don’t have to let it act like an uninvited house guest insulting everyone in earshot.
PS I was in Chase bank today. There was a video screen with a number of clips screened. Some for services offered. One was to announce the celebration of gay pride month. No father’s day announcement.
Down is up.

Marxist Feminism’s Ruined Lives
Frontpagemag.com ^ | 9-2-2014 | Mallory Millett
...It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a “consciousness-raising-group,” a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was “to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with ‘The Revolution’”: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish...
