I cannot observe Father's Day without recognizing the similarities of purpose between good fathers and our Founding Fathers; nor can I observe Father's Day without addressing the attacks both now suffer.

Misguided feminists would have us believe that fathers are good for little more than sperm donation. And in their world, that may be the case – but we don't live in their world; they live in ours, which means belief in the in the sanctity of the traditional family and respect for fathers. Even though they attempt at every turn to redefine traditionalism.

Fathers were not intended to become, nor were they by design, simply sperm donors. Angry, frustrated individuals who have grown up in and/or have been involved in bad familial settings or relationships have fought to have us reduced to regressive beings worthy of consternation.

Besides being a mate, friend and companion to a wife – fathers are essential for the imparting of knowledge, guidance and sharing of wisdom, as well as safeguarding their progeny. Fathers are to show their sons how to be proper, respectful men, and to model behavior that their daughters will use as a measure when they are old enough to date and/or marry.

We're not to leave our children to their own designs, nor are we to let them determine their own measure of right or wrong. Our role as fathers is to guide them and be a guide for them. My son will never have the life experiences I've had, and that makes my presence in his life that much more important. But it's also important that I understand my role in life. These two absolutes are inseparable. It's a delicate but paramount balance.

Good fathers never stop being fathers, and they never stop sharing their wisdom and counsel. Children who would be wise will take advantage of same.

Such was the case with our Founding Fathers. They had lived under the cruelty and injustice of King George III, and they also understood that, George III's oppression notwithstanding, without "Declaration" of reasoning for the course they were embarking upon, there would be those who would choose oppression over constitutional freedom. Going forward, they knew people would need a reminder why separation from the crown was necessary.

It was their concern for future generations that led them to take the extraordinary measures they did. They structured government in such a way as to allow their wisdom to provide for a brighter and more secure future than would have been possible under the tyrannical rule of George III.

Today, the Founding Fathers' guidance and wisdom has been subverted and corrupted to mean things they never intended. The clearest example would be the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. They never meant nor intended the First Amendment to remove all mention of God and religious symbolism from government buildings, public schools, etc. It's a perversion of common sense, but thanks to villainous apostles of darkness, that is what has happened.

In a similar way, a corrosive group of angry anarchists, resentful of their personal situations, led to a movement that was not intended to empower women, but devalue and eventually eradicate the role of the man/father in the family. 

Why? Why would the feminist movement make such efforts to undermine the traditional family? Why would those sworn to uphold the Constitution take such pains to destroy it? Why would U.S. courts rule in favor of that which they know the Constitution doesn't say?

Our Founding Fathers were not unlearned men who had no thought for the future; they were the polar opposite – and neither are the overwhelming majority of husbands/fathers today. Anecdotal instances do not invalidate my position.

The Founding Fathers were more than intelligent enough to specifically write what they meant. If they hadn't intended for the Second Amendment to mean what it says, they would have written it differently. Unlike the transmogrification of the darkness of Erebus into memes that have led our nation to embrace perversions as character traits to be desired, our Founding Fathers were more than capable of saying exactly what they meant. It's the memes from those destructive brothels of darkness that spawn a verbiage that doesn't mean what it implies and/or states.
