1. We who want to help children are not likely to be heard, because so much of the opposition is mindless. Peter Ferrera dissects the nature of the mindless intimidation form of “argument” as he discusses the Huffington Post.
They want to shower conservatives with name calling, then smear them with allegations that their arguments are made in bad faith, and then demand that they even be excluded from public debate. This is not a discussion of ideas, it is all a purely ad hominem attack.
Sound familiar to those who have tried to have dialogue with the “domestic violence coalitions”?
2. This week deadbeat dad hysteria, a virus which circles the globe somewhere up in the ionosphere, has descended and hit Australian prosecutors and newspaper reporters. Is there an election coming up there? If M. Night Shmaylan flew down and filmed a quickie horror movie, he could create a scene built on this newspaper headline: “Nation’s prosecutors ill and frothing at mouth.”
3. Cruelty to babies at Gloucester High. Thank God that Margery Eagan, a left-leaning Boston liberal, remembers the real babies trapped in the misty comic-book-psychodrama of Gloucester High school with its pregnancy girls. She writes:
With the best of intentions, the women’s movement destigmatized [single motherhood]. We went too far.
With the best intentions, children are harmed all the time this way. Look at the misery caused by the “revolutions” in family court. Fixing this will take courage by men, and more especially by women and grandmothers with backbone.
