Father’s Day is a good time to reflect on the importance of dads. It is also an opportunity to bring attention to how fatherhood, marriage, and family became divisive, partisan political issues to the progressive Left.
As a candidate and president, Barack Obama talked often about the importance of fatherhood, marriage, and family. A speech he gave in Chicago a decade ago about violent crime included one observation few elected Democrats today would repeat publicly:
There’s no more important ingredient for success, nothing that would be more important for us reducing violence, than strong, stable families—which means we should do more to promote marriage and encourage fatherhood.
As was often the case, the loudest criticism Obama received for elevating fathers came from his progressive supporters. The rest of the party took notice. Democrats removed all references to fatherhood from their 2016 and 2020 party platforms. read more
It’s not your great grandfather’s democrat party.
Obama said that to get the white vote.
Barry Soetoro the Indonesian wouldn’t know anything about fathers. Frank Marshall, the actual father, never claimed him and Barack Sr, whose name his coal-burning whore mother picked from among her many, many fuckers to be Barry’s dad never knew him or wanted to, being a drunken womanizer being more fun; and his adopted father who gave him his true last name of Soetoro rejected him as well.
Not to mention that the two “Obama” kids were actually borrowed from family friends and political fellow travellers Anita Blanchard and Martin Nesbitt, so Barry doesn’t know anything about BEING a father either, it being impossible for a gay man and a trans gay man to actually have children of their own.
So whatever Soetoro the illegally elected foreigner says about fatherhood was from a script, nothing more.
Same scriptwriter Pedo Joe has.
And whoever follows him will as well.
Pure Marxism.
This is long but it’s directly from the Communist Manifesto:
Abolition [Aufhebung] of the family! Even the most radical flare up at this
infamous proposal of the Communists.
On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based?
On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family
exists only among the bourgeoisie. But this state of things finds its
complement in the practical absence of the family among the
proletarians, and in public prostitution.
The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its
complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.
Do you charge us with wanting to stop the exploitation of children by
their parents? To this crime we plead guilty.
But, you say, we destroy the most hallowed of relations, when we replace
home education by social.
And your education! Is not that also social, and determined by the social
conditions under which you educate, by the intervention direct or
indirect, of society, by means of schools, &c.? The Communists have not
invented the intervention of society in education; they do but seek to
alter the character of that intervention, and to rescue education from the
influence of the ruling class.
The bourgeois clap-trap about the family and education, about the
hallowed co-relation of parents and child, becomes all the more
disgusting, the more, by the action of Modern Industry, all the family ties
among the proletarians are torn asunder, and their children transformed
into simple articles of commerce and instruments of labour.
But you Communists would introduce community of women, screams
the bourgeoisie in chorus.
The bourgeois sees his wife a mere instrument of production. He hears
that the instruments of production are to be exploited in common, and,
naturally, can come to no other conclusion that the lot of being common
to all will likewise fall to the women.
He has not even a suspicion that the real point aimed at is to do away
with the status of women as mere instruments of production.
Innocent human beings suffer under progressivism. That’s the whole point of progressivism. Progressivism exists to increase innocent human suffering, misery and death.
“Society Suffers When Progressives Spurn Fatherhood, Marriage, and Family”
…which is precisely why they do it.
And yet we allow the cancer to metastasize the body politic instead of killing it before it is too late.
