"Still, in our neighborhood, most of the moms stayed home and the dads worked and drank Pabst Blue Ribbon."

Frank Booth: What kind of beer do you like to drink, neighbor?

Jeffrey Beaumont: Heineken.

Frank Booth: Heineken? F___ that s___! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

When I was growing up, my father was my biggest role model. I suppose that’s uncommon for girls, but I think it was a big part of why I ended up a conservative.

Regarding the names, what’s wrong with Jeremy for a boy? And I don’t know any boys named Michelle. Unless you count Michelle Obama.

Jeremy???? I never considered that a girl’s name or anything feminine. That is the only thing I disagree with. Everything else is pretty spot on.

This buffoonish father will be driving 930 miles south on Father's Day to take a job so the family will continue to have income. I'll be away from home until October when the contracts that I can work from my home office are funded. That pretty much wipes out the summer.

I don’t know about the author but my 41 year old husband has never been the kind of man,father,husband that he has described.

My husband works hard at physical labor 7 days a week, usually 10 hours a day. he comes home dirty and sweaty. He drinks beer, chews tobacco and his hair is always cut, high on the sides...if it touches his ears its too damned long!Longer than that and he’d call you a “damned hippy”

He’s conservative and votes. He grew up on a farm. knows how to drive anything but especially likes to drive his tractor.

He changed our babies diapers too. did a bad job but tried.

He ENJOYS having me stay at home to raise our kids, even if it means he has to work more and harder than his friends.

He likes his laundry done and put away, his food homecooked and the house clean. He likes knowing that his children are being raised by their mother.

If anyone comes up and tries to tell us that same old tired sh*t about how “no one can afford to stay at home anymore” i think i’ll scream!

there are definitly still real men out there. But you’ll most likely find them in the rural areas!

Fatherhood is outlawed. Only rich men and men with very good, old fashioned wives (who won’t chase other men and falsely accuse their husbands) will be fathers long enough to help raise kids.

I recently dated, for about a year, a genuine Asian (Korean) fox. Incredibly good looking.
Tall with well above average curves for an Asian woman.
Took my breathe away.
But, she tried, slowly at first, to make me urinate sitting down. She was patient with the idea, but would not give it up.
Now she had fine qualities in addition to looks but...
I already took my shoes off when I entered her house.
Enough.
And that nasty Korean food (besides the bbq).
Bye Bye.
But she was really sexy. Really.
Now, some American dude is squatting to piss.
Pathetic. But he’s with a fox.

very good, old fashioned wives

And these do not exist in my generation or any younger. and maybe not in the next older generation or two. This has been my observation at least.

Actually John, men are just following the directives of people they run into from the age of five through early adulthood. The bias couldn’t be clearer. Men have been relegated to second class status. Remember, those white beasts who founded our nation had slaves. That’s where you start these days, and it goes downhill from there.

Education materials were changed to make girls more interested. Guy topics that used to be used in teaching, now take second place to female oriented topics.

You’re told to be more like the girls at every step of the way. Little boys who are physically designed to run, jump, play, and make noise, are forced to sit, be quiet, work or be drugged.

It’s amazing to me that we have any bright young men graduating from high school at all. As many of their mothers as possible have turned them into simpering idiots, with societies enthusiastic approval.

Dad’s can’t step in. They are prevented from turning their boys out to be masculine achievers. You can’t discipline. You can’t say no. You can’t raise your voice.

In about a generation or so we’ll have only women on the football team, and only men in the glee club.

Say, isn’t that marrrrrrvelous.

Oh we can’t have that. We need our children to respect each other. And this places them in a hurtful situation. /s

Honestly, this is probably the mindset these days.

“My 1970 GTO”
by Mike Adams

SNIPPET: “In the summer of 1980, I was looking forward to turning 16 and getting a driver’s license. All of my friends were looking forward to driving but none as much as me. My friends would be driving used Mazdas and Toyotas that got good gas mileage. But my dad bought me a 1970 GTO. He didn’t care that it got nine miles to the gallon. It looked like it was going thirty miles an hour when it was just sitting in the driveway.”

SNIPPET: “So dad and I went into the garage and pulled out the motor. After it was secure on the engine lift we could see the source of the noise. And we knew we could just pull off the flywheel cover and hammer out the dent to fix the problem. But we also knew it would be so much more fun to rebuild the old motor. My dad must have figured that if I was going to finish at the bottom of my class academically I might as well have the fastest car among the 3300 students at Clear Lake High School.

For weeks, after I got home from school – and my dad got home from work – we toiled away on that engine.”
