David Kupelian, the managing editor of WorldNetDaily.com, has published one of his own articles over at WND. It’s called “The war on fathers,” and it’s about how there is a war on fathers, in that men are portrayed as dopes in TV commericals and in sitcoms; boys don’t do as well in school as girls; and in custody cases, mothers get the kids more than fathers do.
So, yeah, it’s standard wingnut boilerplate.
But David throws in some original touches, and thus gives it the creamy WND nuttiness we’ve come to expect from the site that brought us the news about the Nephilim building the pyramids, warned you about “the long tentacles of the United Nations in your life,” and published a book for muscleheads. (Fyi, Kevin McCullough’s column this week is entitled “Why Liberals Channel Lucifer,” so I think he was the correct choice for our las “Ann Coulter of the Week” award.)
Anyway, with no further ado, here’s David.
“Father knows best.”
How do those three words make you feel? Turn them over in your mind a couple of times and be aware of the subtlest of feelings. Be honest.
Do they make you feel slightly squeamish? A little discomfort in your solar plexus? Is something deep down inside you repelled by those words?
If so, then there’s something wrong with you, because GOD said that father knows best – and God is a man, so He would know.
In this confused era of feminized men who wear earrings and are embarrassed at their own masculinity, this may be hard to accept, but there really is a reason Jesus was a man and that all of His 12 disciples were men and that the Bible was written by men and that the vast majority of pastors, priests and rabbis are men.
I suppose David is going to claim that patriachal societies have nothing to do with it.
And that reason is not, as radical feminists insist, that a bunch of sexist, patriarchal pigs created the Christian religion just to enslave and control women. Rather, men were simply designed by the Creator to love and protect and defend and lead women and children – in every way, including spiritually. (And yes, I realize there were also very godly women surrounding Jesus, just as there are wonderfully righteous women around today, but the point is, it is men who are meant to bear the ultimate responsibility and burden of leadership.)
And ladies, the Creator designed you to need protection and leadership, and to make sandwiches for the men. So, it works out well for everyone.
But what if your husband is a big jerk who cheated on you with a young mistress, whom he tried to strangle – do you still have to make him sandwiches?
Yes. Yes, you do. And you need to get rid of all that anger and “work through the issues”, because it’s the only way to save your marriage (and his congressional career).
But how many marriages could be saved if the offended spouse – the one pushing for the divorce, which is usually the wife – were just to learn to give up all that anger for the other?
And how many affairs could be saved if the offended mistress were just to learn to give up all that anger, drop her lawsuit, and shut the hell up?
While we bemoan “deadbeat dads,” let’s pause for a moment to ask ourselves a scary question: If a really great man, a Christ-like man, appeared on the scene – or someone even close – could we stand him?
I think that what David is saying is that Jesus had a deadbeat dad, but HE turned out okay. However, nobody today could stand Him, because our society hates men, thanks to ”Everybody Loves Raymond,” which made fathers look like whiny dummies. Plus, we no longer properly appreicate the work of Robert Young, now that we know he was a mean drunk.
(Or maybe David’s is referring to the Christ-like Mel Gibson, who is also a mean drunk whom nobody can stand — I’m not really sure.)
But in any case, even if Jesus was a deadbeat dad, it would be the radical feminists’ fault, for making the courts award unreasonable child support orders to scheming hussies who just have kids so they can screw men out of their paychecks. And nobody can stand Jesus, because He’s locked up until he comes up with 20-year’s worth of back child support.
And now, the thrilling conclusion to “The War on Fathers.”
When we break the bond between fathers and their children, we’re breaking the bond between God the Father and our nation. When we restore that connection, our society will be healed. It’s as simple as that.
So, women, when you get a divorce, you are filing a restraining order against God, and prohibiting Him from coming within a thousand feet of America. Little lady, do you really want to be the one who dooms our society this way? If not, suck it up, and remember that Father Knows Best.
