FReepers, what do you think about requesting Cal Thomas or someone like him to address the "Gutter Language" now infesting much of our political discourse?
We, meaning others and myself have grudgingly been forced to know about vulgar meanings of words that before now had no use in our everyday conversations.
Last week my nine-year-old third grade daughter came home and asked me what Mack Daddy meant.
I asked her where she heard the word and she stated that "the other night on television news a man called someone a Mack Daddy".
I told her the man was probably talking about a dad who eats Big Mac's with his children.
A few weeks ago, Sean Hannity of Fox News had on a black preacher who used the words "Mack Daddy" in one of his sermons.
Curious as to what a Mack Daddy might be I went on the internet and found a black slang dictionary.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/browse.php?character=M&page=9
Here are a couple of descriptions for the slang term "Mack Daddy'";
("Mac Daddy" or Mack Daddy, is a term used to describe a man with an unusual power over women, and is derived from the French and later Louisiana Creole patois term "maqereau", which means "pimp". Adding "daddy" makes it mean "top pimp". The '70's black-exploitation movie "The Mack", a dramatization of the life of a street pimp, furthered the popularity of the term in urban America.)
And
(Can be defined as the father/god/master of owning b*tches. A Mac daddy is such a person as using woman as his slaves. He uses money drugs and fear to control his b*tches. And uses charm,wit and a large amount of cash to keep his hoes hooked to his muthaf*cking nature.)
As you can see, neither description is a respectful explanation for another human being much less one for a former president or presidential candidate wannabe.
I do not want my eight and nine-year-old children learning about such things as "Mack Daddies" until they are old enough to understand that those of a lower socioeconomic standing in our society speak such language out of ignorance or arrogance.
Yet the far left press and many such race baiting and enabling elitists commentators found on MSNBC, CNN, PBS and other liberal bastions see the use of slang language as further breaking down the barriers' between the races.
Mack Daddy's seems to be the language of use by the current elitist's liberal political campaign and is slowly dragging American society down without an utterance of opposition from conservatives.
Personally, I do not want to learn Black Slang so that I can communicate during the forth-coming political campaign, nor God forbid the possibility of four dangerously long years.

No thanks I can hardly handle the crap that is throw ed out in the movies I watch on Lifetime channel.
Why is it Hollyweird feels like they need to show the sex to get their point across.
Years ago just sleeping in the same bedroom told people that the couple might be doing the dirty.
Why is it Hollyweird feels like they need to show the sex to get their point across.
Because:
A)Most Hollywood writers/directors don’t know how to handle sex in a story.
B)Many men will sit through the most hideous crap if they believe there’s a chance the lead actress will take her shirt off.
All cultures are equal! Kids must be taught not to judge.
If you try to teach your kids otherwise, you will be arrested for a hate crime.
It will go easier for you if you report to your reeducation camp immediately.
I also heard some political commentator use “Mack Daddy” the other day. I had no idea that’s what it meant.
Oh, I think I just came up w/ a new tagline...:)
I accept your assurance, and my apologies for being so suspicious.
There’s actually much less sexual content in films now than there was in the 1970s.
I do however watch TCM, AMC and sometimes On Demand.
Over at the neighbors for a visit and their daughter Tina aged 13 was watching a movie on TV with that Hollywood shoplifting thief Winona Ryder playing a mentally ill patient.
Every other word was fluck this or fluck that.
Finally my neighbor saw that my wife was uncomfortable hearing the filthy language and made the child go to her room to finish watching the movie.
I would have preferred that the daughter turn off the movie and watch something more age appropriate.
These same neighbors are discussing buying her birth control pills because they think she is having sex after finding a condom in her pants pocket.
There’s actually much less sexual content in films now than there was in the 1970s.
Undisciplined movie making in the 1970s, survey-driven movie making in he 2000s.
That was one of the things that I admired about American men. The ones that I met were complete gentlemen and wouldn't dream of using gutter language. That was 50 years ago, and have times ever changed!
One of the current terms that is gaining in popularity is 'Pi$$ed off'. I heard a Senator use it the other day and I was appalled.
It really is the dumbing down of America!
Even your grandmother today will say “That really sucks.” This expression came from, in the 1970s, the insult “You* suck [rooster]!” (*Often used in the third person, referencing someone’s maternal parent.)
