Fathers' Day is coming up soon, and I can pretty much
guarantee that you'll be able to see the bias at work in the media
coverage of the event. I predict much attention will be devoted to the
terrible problem of American fathers walking away from their children.
However, anyone familiar with the facts knows that most fatherless
families have been created by mothers -- either by expelling their
husbands from their families or by deciding to have children by men to
whom they are not married. The media will agree that only in a
minority of situations do American fathers have any major role in
regard to their children. But they won't ask why this is so.
Yes the old and tired "man bad, woman good" mantra that the media has
brainwashed the masses for years with.
Lets sue the first law enforcement agency that tries to use the Father's Day
celebration as a media backdrop for sweeping up dead broke fathers campaign
who can't afford to defend themselves.

Mother's Day is a day of flowers and dinners, it has never been clouded with
government authority and abuse of power.

The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is
essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the
bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor
marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most
likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus
Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained
on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love,
compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine
design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and
righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and
protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the
nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and
mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability,
death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation.
Extended families should lend support when needed.

I strongly encourage all to honestly and prayerfully read this
Proclamation. It is my personal testimony that it is true and will
result in a happier, more fulfilling life.
