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

We aren’t allowed to say boys need a father.

My older boys used to tease their younger brother by saying, "He throws like he grew up without a father." I told a friend that, and he said his wife had single-mom friends, and it was true... none of the kids could throw worth a darn.

Dan was ahead of the political curve when it came to the family. Sadly, he’s been proven right millions of times over.

Despite the best intention of a loving, caring mother, only a man can teach a boy to be a man.
