Nationally-Syndicated Cartoonist: It's Better to Have Two Moms than a Mom and a Dad

Twenty five years ago one of our associate priests told me that it wouldn’t to long before Father’s Day would become a nonevent. His prediction may be slow in coming but I do believe it will happen.

Oh I believe it will always be an event, we must keep with a loving societies institutions, they'll just be changed a little bit. Instead of Dad being portrayed by Al Bundy, the new Dad will be Rosie O'Donuts, with all her tolerance and love.

Hi, nice gift right before fathers day for all us single dads - it’s OK to have 2 mommies - but dads are bad.

Mom = good, dad = bad.

I guess you are doing a cutting-edge insightful commentary. Very brave.

Hey, by the way, did you know that MOST child abuse is committed by women? You could look it up.

Here is some “cutting-edge” for you: How about a cartoon about a dad denied custody of his children because the court believes mothers are better parents - the “punch line” is she abuses her kids.

That would be cutting edge and insightful.

Go ahead. Make a cartoon like that. You the brave one.

And let me know how it works out.

I think you are mis-remembering the Jesse Dirkhising case. The two rapists were friends of the mom, who did not see anything wrong with a 12 or 13 year old boy hanging out without supervision with two homos, in their trailer.

I’ve got a better idea: stop buying those lousy dead tree slander rags. They are wasteful, biased, inaccurate, and the ink gets all over your fingers.

Sitcoms like “Bewitched” and “I dream of Genie” to name a couple both had bumblers for the male lead character.

That mother in law in Bewitched was the ultimate battle axe.Darren was in a no win situation,her being a witch with magical powers and all.How could he have the upper hand when she could turn him into a frog?

Even way back when it was a schoolyard rule that you could say anything you wanted about dads, but if you said anything about mothers you would get seven bells kicked out of you.

That was why the few acceptable insults you could make about mothers were carefully crafted to be non-serious, like “Your mother wears Army boots!” Even then you had to be very, very careful who you said that to.

Boys were raised to be fearless defenders of the females of the house. Dads, other than being “good providers”, had generally low expectations.

Of course, the higher up the social ladder you went, the more that was expected from fathers, beyond just being the breadwinner.

Here comes the War on Real men; here comes the war to promote sexual perverseness! Does anyone doubt there IS a left wing conspiricicy to #
1) Affect your children to become dependent upon them:
2) Give them psychological and social baggage such as sexual perversion, hang-ups, ect
3) Destroy the immage of Real men to (be fathers) + Husbands
4) A concerted (yet perverted and futile) effort to gain recognition for sexual deviancy such as homosexuality and polygamy?

Back when I was a youngster, men were portrayed positively, perhaps “feminized” to some extent - tender/tough Brian Keith in Family Affair, Fred MacMurry in My Three Sons, more tender than tough Bill Bixby in Courtship of Eddie’s Father.

Before those, there were strong men/feminine women as role models - John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Glenn Ford types and their leading ladies.

You’re right that it’s been a whole long time since those programs and the like were popular - and Archie Bunker may well have been one of the tipping points (or at least in that era) - Edith Bunker was also portrayed as a fairly useless dingdong. When you think about it, that program was fairly anti-family as a whole - only the hippy-ish kids seemed reasonably rational.

However, the stuff in media today makes All in the Family seem positively pro-family. The very popular Grey’s Anatomy, Desperate Housewives and others are so anti-family it’s incredible.

This man doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Maybe he had a lousy father, but he ought to know better than to make the statement he made.

He’s not President.

Assaults on the natural family are assaults on the very foundation of human civilization. Berkeley Breathed is a stupid name as well.

Problem is lots of kids read the so-called funnies, young people especially are easily influenced. Propaganda and advertising affect people.

“If he simply loves his daughter to the point of destroying Western civilization, he shouldn’t be president.

If you don’t understand how normalizing homosexual relationships can destroy a civilization, ask me. “

As I consider homosexuality abnormal and immoral and yes, a destructive factor in society, I really doubt I need to ask you anything.

You have absolutely no idea whatsoever what VP Cheney’s views on homosexuality are. Perhaps it is you who could learn something from me. I know how devastated my devout Roman Catholic inlaws were when their youngest son told them he was gay. I also know how much they love him. So do I. I do not condone his lifestyle, but I’m not going to write him off.

Now the “traditional family" and “natural children” are termed elements of hate speech all this will come to pass. Alternative lifestyle has never stood the test of time nor is there reason to think it ever will. At some point the majority will throw off the chains imposed by the tyranny of minority. It won't be a pretty sight.

Unless you can direct me to a (convenient) alternative source for both the local and the NYT Sunday crosswords - I'm stuck with it once a week.

Save me a buck sixty and I'll be your friend forever.

[William Terrell]

Excuse me, you're right. He shouldn't be vice president and to the extent Mr. Bush condones it, he shouldn't be president, at least not a republican president.

[null and void]

Fair enough. It was a minor point, and not yet accurate.
