The Problem With Obama's Father's Day Speech

by Bruce Walker - June 18th, 2008 - The American Thinker

When young women have casual, indiscriminate sexual relations with a number of young men -- in many cases not even knowing these men beyond their first names -- then the catastrophe which follows is at least as much the fault of the mother as of the father. If young women stopped having sex before marriage, then the problem of fatherless children would vanish.

It is much easier, however, to pummel young men, than for Obama to lay blame for fatherless children where it also belongs: on the reckless actions of those mothers who count upon taxpayers to step in the place of fathers.

The politically correct Obama would not dare make this point in his speech. In the liberal lexicon of today women are never to be criticized. Only men are acceptable targets for criticism. When our society abandons its current hatred for men, then and only then will we have a reasonable chance to address some of the problems of family, love and equal opportunity for our next generation.
