I haven’t heard of this movement but it would nor surprise me. Father, mother and such are SO patriarchal, don’tcha know? The lawmakers most pushing this are gay and include the former Zelda from the Dobie Gillis show, along with some other confreres. A lot of things get introduced and stuck in committees, only to be brought forth the next session, and the next session and the next session until it seems the lawmakers enact them just to be rid of the bother.
I think that’s a lesson for Conservatives. Instead of immolating ourselves for an important principle, we need to work incrementally and get whatever we can whenever we can to push the country to the right. This is how much of the left worked. It pushed candidates who supported its agenda, putting those who publicly campaigned in the center into power on the assurance the candidate would move to the left if at all possible. It is a difficult task but it worked for them. Look how far the left agenda is now part of our society and they didn’t do it by boycotting elections because this or that candidate said he or she supported the DOMA.
It would be nice to have a completely up-front campaign of right versus left but I don’t think it is possible these days. Too many people vote their entitlements and too many others are willing to sacrifice everything for just one plank of a platform. This is like Cleavon Little in “Blazing Saddles” threatening to shoot himself if his demands weren’t met. We have been complacent and society is coarsening. We now have to face the Long March back to sanity and each step counts.
