American Savior: Manhood and Integrity

     He was tasked with a mission.  He saw it through.  Tough job.  Mission accomplished.  Integrity...... What!?  My handful of remaining readers are still offended by the Old Doc's persistent interweaving of Biblical references?  Hey pal, you want the truth, or are you still more comfortable with all the deceitful Leftist tripe out there.  Really?  After all we have been through...together?  Do you  agnostic survivors recall  that these Leftist Secular Lies are embodied in one all-time historically spectacular societal failure?   That's right, the mother ship of all lies, and atheism, by the way.  Yeah, the Soviet Union.  Lasted  about 70 years, and then was flushed down the toilet of history in its own pathetic rotting implosion.

     Let me tell you about a Man who was named Don Salvador.  Salvador means "savior" in espanol.  For years Mrs. Doc had two gym buddies and work-out partners.  Don Salvador and his wife, Dona Maria.  Don Salvador died a few weeks ago, age 96.  Was married for the first and only time to Dona Maria for 76 years.  Big family.  He came to America legally from Michoacan, Mexico after his sixth child;  looking for a better life for his family.  Drove a fork lift.  When he first immigrated, he could not afford to bring his children all at once.  He asked his priest what he should do.  His priest told him to "take half of them with you now, and then send for the rest when you can manage."  This he did.  Created a big, successful family, dozens of grandchildren and great-grand children.

     When he retired from his company after over 30 years, he was awarded a pension, and a company fare-well party.  He was honored and well considered by all of his co-workers.  He was even  honored and recognized by his Fitness Gym for achievement at age 92;  threw him a party to celebrate his consistent dedication to his own fitness.  So humble.  Dona Maria says that he commented, "they must be having some type of celebration."  When she pointed to a large banner that said "Congratulations Salvador and Maria" he was truly surprised.  His family also honored him with a huge 75th Wedding Anniversary party;  big celebration.  Mrs. Doc was there, has pictures to prove it.  After he died, I spent a day reminiscing with his 96 year old wife.  "Good man;  very good to me;  very kind to me, " she repeated often.  Married at age 17.  During my day long interrogation of this woman of another era, I could uncover not one soul who did not honor this "honorable" man.  Savior.

     With this essay, I thought that for the moment we could leave the business of haranguing you Fellas for a bit, especially you Millennial-type,  and get to the meat of what really produces a Man.  The Essence.  Let us begin here with Integrity.  Though I never met him personally, I knew immediately that Don Salvador was a man who lived his life with the utmost Integrity.  The respect and admiration this fine 96 year old woman had for him attests to this fact.  She insisted she was happily married to him for 76 years.  A Man's personal Honor, honed over his lifetime surely does begin with Integrity.

     Another illustration.  I just finished speaking to a fine, young man who in the midst of real life pressures, has demonstrated admirable Integrity.  He is a nationally famous artist.  A genius really.  Seems that a major art collector is attempting to test the mettle of this young artist with some despicable negotiating tactics.  He utilizes his millionaire purse as a club to tantalize the financial fancies of an ambitious young, rising talent.  Seems he is is bent on replacing tough business negotiations with outright deceit and cheating.  He has even tried to influence this young artist to sabotage the honorable relationship he has built with his existing business partner.  And it appears he engages in this bullying for no other practical purpose than to augment his own self-centered aggrandizement  and greed.  This artist's business partner has acted only with the utmost dignity and loyalty in his dealings with this young genius.  Heck, he has contributed mightily to his "discovery"  and has hurled him onto the national stage,  really.  After a tremendous amount of temptation and torment, this young Man actually informed the millionaire glutton that he would not betray the loyalty of his Loyal business partner.   Nor his own Integrity.  This young Man stood face to face with the slithering, hissing, beguiling serpent that skillfully exploits a young man's ambition, anxiety and insecurities all at once.  The promise of parity with God, and his partner.  Just take a nibble;  you 'deserve' it...... His answer was "NO."....  Well done son.  Integrity.  Manly.

     Earl Nightingale, the dean of the personal success industry, spoke about this in his legendary book and audio format, "Lead The Field."  He described a Army Colonel, P.O.W. captive in the infamous Hanoi Hilton during the Viet Nam war.  Tortured horribly for eight years, he never broke.  Never compromised his country or his fellow fighting men.  His barbaric captors assured him he was to be executed the next day.  He wrote a final letter to his son.  His final words to his boy were, "the key word here son is 'Integrity'....."  He was not executed after all.  One of those cutsy fake-outs by those cuddly North Vietnamese communists.  But believing he was sending his last earthly message to his beloved son, he distilled the sum total of his advice to that one word.  Integrity.  His son.

     Just what is "Integrity?"  You Fellas go on and check out Webster, but Doc is going to give you the simple Man's description; allegory if you will.  "Integrity" is doing the morally right thing even though acting otherwise offers more corporeal reward, more money, more fame, more approval from the folks that can advance your earthly status.  You know Boyz, the road more travelled.  The wide road.  The road paved with "good intentions."

     Yup, we have meandered our way back to that modern-day obscenity --  Morality.....  Integrity is moral.  Lack of integrity is immoral.  Good and bad.  The opposite of all those stupid cultural lies you young Fellas have been force-fed all your lives by the media, the arts, the state-run schools, the Left, the Feminists, the Commies.  Acting with Integrity brings you closer to the Divine.  Acting without Integrity is Luciferian.  Living your life without Integrity signals that you believe that you are at least on a par with God Himself.

        Another good way of understanding Integrity, is to take a gander at the headlines of current events to observe a world devoid of it.  Three-hundred Christians beheaded by the Islamic State because they were, well, Christians. Two homosexual males unleashing a judge on a Christian Church because the Padre would not compromise his Christian principles by performing the SACRAMENTAL Baptism ceremony for the two males, no mother and their procured baby.  Communist Chinese outlawing the Cross  continuing their fascist persecution of the Faithful.  Russia bombing sovereign Ukraine to steal parts of that sovereign country, while bragging that their new battle tank, the Armata, is superior to anything the West has.  The White House shamelessly proceeds with demagoguing Illegal Aliens in order to secure both a slavish underclass and guaranteed voting loyalty in future elections.  The U.S. District Attorney investigating the Baltimore police, while beastly thugs and criminals lawlessly destroy that City.

     Wow.  Boggles the mind.  So many more examples, sadly enough.....But I contend that it is the LACK of Integrity that has lead to so much confusion -- it always has.  And yet, these are the cards we human beings have been dealt.  Good, under constant assault by Evil.  Too Old Fashioned for you Fellas?  Hey, facts are stubborn things regardless of how boring you might think they are.  I wasn't part of the set-up plan, I am simply relaying to you the facts -- Reality.  Imagine this global Integrity-deficiency in a world without America.......Brrrr!

     It is amusing to the Old Doc when I see bumperstickers to the effect of "Give Peace a Chance,"  "War is not the answer,"  or other fallacious fairy-tale concepts like "Mid-East Peace Talks"; or "use our money to make bridges here at home, not for more Raptors."  (Yeah, Rand Paul is big on that last one).   Recite all these naive homilies to that  bretha dancing on top of that police cruiser in Baltimore.  Tell that to the Chinese Commies who are bragging about 40,000 war drones on line already.  Tell that to King Putin who is rolling out the Armata in public parades.  Tell that to Iran, whose leaders regularly rally their people with "Death to Israel, Death to America!"  Tell that to the innocent American boys and girls who are being forced via judicial activism to discuss anal intercourse in school and pee in in the same bathrooms to satisfy the Sex-Oriented Fascists.  Evil is what Evil does;  and Fascism is Fascism whether you wear jackboots or you crossdress......

     "So Doc, what exactly are you calling 'evil' here?"  The Evil here is the imposition of Radical Islam, Communism and Homosexual Indoctrination on the greater society, against the will of traditional American morality.  America is, and always had been Christian, Capitalist, and Heterosexual.  The norm is for families composed of a married Man and women, and kids.  Yet in America, nevertheless,  you can still be a Communist, you can worship Islam, and you can be Homosexual, change your sex, or even dress funny.  You have that right, and this Old Doc for one, supports that right wholeheartedly.  But when you utilize our society's laws and freedoms to forcefully ram your minority, contrary and opportunistic agendas into our schools, workplace and military, well, that is Evil.  It is wrong.  It is anti-American.  It lacks Integrity.....

     Lucifer rallied an Angelic revolt because he was pissed off at God for loving human beings.  Luc ended up in Hell because he began to think he was God's equal.  He lost.  Big time.  When you force someone to think like you by means of the barrel of a gun, or injunction or childish petulance, then you are doing exactly what this  fallen Archangel got tossed out of Heaven for.  Now Lucifer attracted a lot of followers, sure.  Lots of folks, and Angels, like to side with "the Rebel."  You know, Vote for Ron Paul -- Never met a cause he wouldn't rebel against!  Paul,  and his son for that matter, have their rabidly loyal political following, to be sure.  Millennials love this type of Quixotic, but fundamentally selfish rhetoric.  But is simply rebelling sufficient criteria for putting your own personal Integrity on the line?  For pledging your sword?

     Take this gal, Pamela Geller.  Garland Texas.  In the news currently for speaking her mind.  A couple of guys with AK's, courtesy of Jihad, were sent to make her stop her wanton destruction of worldwide Islam.  She has thus far survived the Islamic State contract on her.  Meanwhile the two  big, bad, defenseless woman-killer-Jihadiis are dead.  What was this unarmed woman's death-sentence crime against Islam?  Did she cut off three-hundred Muslim heads?  Did she threaten to use her Nuclear bombs to destroy Iran?  Did she advocate the brutal subjugation of women, or the public execution of Homosexuals?  Nah, that's the stuff the Islamic State does as standard policy.  No, she did something far worse.  She insisted on sharing the most dangerous weapon tyrants, bullies and wackos of all stripes detest more than any other single enemy --- and that is the sharing of fundamental ideas of morality, freedom, right and wrong.  Do you Millennial  Fellas out there know that this is precisely why they nailed Jesus to a tree?

     So Ms. Geller is now being persecuted for hurting the feelings of these big, brave Jihadi Warriors.  Even Ol' "Looking-out-for-the-Folks" Bill O'Reilly.  (I guess by "the folks", he means those guys in black with the swords standing over the guys in orange on their knees with their hands bound behind their backs).   And here Boyz is my point relating to Integrity.  A lot of you Billy O'Reilly's  are out there criticizing this Manly woman for speaking out on a subject "that is bound to cause"  some folks getting butt-hurt.  Get that?    Do not speak your mind lest you are "bound to"  hurt someone's feelings...............She has particularly inspired this Old Doc.  She has been forced to remind a lot of you that instead of rushing to the defense of murderers and barbarians who don't like a couple of cartoons, you Boyz ought to be offended by bound Christians getting their heads lopped off, ON VIDEO!  Yeah, she is brave.  Standing up for American values at the risk of her very life.  Integrity.

     Appeasing Evil, my friends, is the opposite of Integrity.  It is cowardice.  It is deceit.  It is malevolence.  It is Lucifer leading a Heavenly rebellion (Old Doc reckons you can find a way to be unhappy even in Heaven!).  It is Eve, though living in Paradise, chomping on the only fruit forbidden to her.  It is Neville Chamberlain proclaiming that after all, Adolf was a jolly good chap.  It is you Fellas, re-electing Clinton AFTER he was caught raping, pillaging and looting America.  It is you folks who boycott businesses because they offend the Delta Smelt, or because they asked two males to stop smooching in front of the kiddies with their baseball mitts at the Dodger game.  It was putting a Marxist in the White House, TWICE, simply because "it would be nice" to put a hip, Black Man in the most important office in the world.  Yeah, and it is defending the morally indefensible violent Islamic Jihad.....

     We Americans do not persecute folks as they privately manage their bedrooms.  We Americans do not persecute the right to worship Allah freely and openly.  We Americans do not prohibit you from building a business and then giving "the means of production away to those that work it."  In fact, we Americans have offered the blood of millions of our sons and treasure to defend these freedoms.  We are loyal to the document that all government leaders, soldiers, sailors and marines pledge their allegiance to -- the U.S. Constitution.  THE Idea........But the Freedom to carry on these behaviors in the privacy of your own lives, gives NO ONE  any right to impose their values on others.  We all  possess the same exact rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.     You know it.  To pretend otherwise using dishonest rationale to impose on the freedoms of others is Fascism.  Yeah, Adolf, Lenin, Stalin, Che, Mao stuff.  Senator Feinstein has been one of the greatest enemies of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Yet she has a concealed-carry permit, as well as armed bodyguards.  You Lefties are monumentally arrogant!   Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, Inc, wants his bedroom off-limits to your scrutiny, yet he uses his bully pulpit to direct the mores of the good folks of Indiana.  For some odd reason, Cook gives the Middle East and China a pass.  As my son-in-law would say, "morbidly" duplicitous.  OK, OK, I am getting to how this relates to Integrity.  Really.

     This Old Doc is a real chicken.  Ms. Geller has me beat on the having-way-more-balls department.  I am afraid of bullies;  I am afraid of Malpractice litigators;  I am afraid of the dopey Leftists infringing on my Second Amendment rights and keying the paint on my truck .  I am sometimes startled at my own shadow.  I really do not want trouble with the Islamo-Fascists, the Homosexual-Activist Cabal or the IRS.  But Men, we have all got to stand up and be counted at some point.  I suppose this is why I have made my own tentative,  meager effort with these "Manhood" essays.  I want to communicate with you Men.  Reach you.  Throttle you.  America needs you.  The Last Great Hope of Mankind.  Savior.

     If the Old Doc takes some heat for advocating American Morality;  Or Christian values;  Or Biblical Manliness, well then let's chalk it up to the price of a free life;  an American life;  a Christian life.  Freedom is NOT free, nor is our ticket to Heaven without an entrance fee.  Didn't know that, did you Cowboys?  Yeah, as The Christ actually said,

          "Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord
          shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
          But he that doeth the will of my Father
          which is in Heaven.  Many will say
          to me in that day, Lord, Lord have we not
          prophesied in thy name? and in thy name 
          cast out Devils? and in thy name done
          many wonderful works?  And then, will
          I profess unto them, I never knew you:  depart
          from me, ye that work iniquity."

                    -- Matthew 7:21

Jeepers!  That REALLY scares this Old Yellow Belly!

     Good Men will NEVER find peace by appeasing the Devil.  And herein is my point,  embedded in cheeky rhetoric, of course.  "Integrity"  is what we must use to develop our philosophy for living.  It is the guiding light for creating the building blocks of daily actions,  goals, and charity.  It is the thread that weaves our mantel of Honor.  It is the compass that guides a Man through the rough seas and stormy weather, and the arrant nonsense of harmful philosophies  A Man who acts with Integrity is often NOT very popular, since the fact of the matter is, most folks simply float through life buffeted by whatever breeze might blow them thither and yon.  But when we reach way down,  and seek out the action based in Integrity,  we will at some moment in the future breathe our last  knowing that we were true to our wife;  our family;  our country;  and to our Savior, The Christ.  Big deal?  For Don Salvador it sure was.

     C'mon Fellas, you know what is Right and what is Wrong.  You know sending an eight year old to detonate a bomb that will kill dozens of innocents, is Wrong.  You know killing unborn babies is wrong.  You know that wonton looting, burning and killing in the name of race is Wrong.  You know that Marx was wrong (Karl, not Groucho).  You know that indoctrinating our young on the joys of same-sex intercourse is Wrong.  You know that Black against White racism is Wrong.  You know that Illegal immigrations is, well, Illegal.  You know that advocating that the American Southwest revert back to Mexico is stupid (not to mention illogical since the migration is coming INTO those areas, not OUT of those areas).  You know that Pamela Geller is acting heroically, like a Warrior;  and that those that deny her rights are cowardly, and Wrong.  And you know that crucifying The Christ was Wrong.  Really wrong.....

     So Boyz, seems like your Pop was right after all.  You Millennial tykes are battleing for imagined righteousness within the fog and gas of Twitter, Facebook, Hillary Clinton, Tim Cook, the Ayatollah, Al Sharpton,    Ben 'Slaveowner'  Affleck and Brian 'Stolen Honor' Williams.  You think you are trying, but you miss the mark, and badly, sometimes.  You think that your marriage requires 50/50 obeisance and the rejection of your own traditional values,  your parents, your country, and even your Manhood.  You think that voting Libertarian is so cool and rebellious, even though the proponents think there is nothing wrong with shopping for Heroin on aisle 13 at Wal-Mart;  as well as abandoning any leadership, hope and aircraft carriers  that our Christian-American way of life has provided for the downtrodden peasant in Zacatecas, or the Highlands of Vietnam;  or for the armed mothers of Israel.

     One last word.  Whatta'bout the Man who comports his life, his marriage, and his family relations with faux Integrity?  Yeah, and you especially, Bright Eyes..... you who are so self-deluded about real Integrity that you think that you can even weaponize your local parish and an unwitting priest, your woman, and even your kids as justification in attaining petty business goals;  settling disputes with your family;  and ultimately justifying your misguided, bratty petulance.  Yet at the same time you lack the true Integrity to stand up to the Feminists you bring into your life;  you lack the courage to simply face another Man, eye to eye, and verbalize your confusion; and you even use your children as human shields to distract from your own weaknesses.    You say all the right phrases;  you don the battle-rattle; you kneel and stand at the right times during church service.    And yet you save your tough guy vitriol for the very folks that have always stood by you through thick or thin.    You lie to your priest and to your wife and to yourself;  and you isolate your marriage and your children,  making them more, not less, susceptible to the predators of today's wonton culture.  You'll probably even condone home-schooling for the kids that they may grow selfish and self-centered just like their master race parents.  Talk about the ultimate Selfie!

     In a fit of 'pretend' Integrity, you "put your foot down to protect her" and in so doing,  sever the ties of your family, your culture, and your parents,  expediently insisting that the confused space between your ears is sufficiently wise.  And yet the voice echoing within the empty chambers of your noggin' is not Integrity;  it is simply the prattling of arrant nonsense.  Cowardice.  Expedience.  Wrong.  Immoral.  Rand Paul for President.    Throw out the baby with the bathwater.    Never fails......

     Forget Integrity Fellas, and you forgo true Manhood.  Chuck your sincere Old Pop overboard to avoid the disapproving glare of your new woman, and you cut off your kids noses in order to spite your own face.  Or something like that. ...... Ball, and balls, in your court Pal.  Integrity.  Savior...........Doc

          

Manism: The American Manifesto

Clint Eastwood's main advice to actor son: 'be a man'

     In our previous essay entitled "Machismo", this Old Doc defined Manhood, Manliness, "being a Man", or Machismo as  "a human male's intelligent striving to approximate, as best as he can, God's purpose for him on earth......"  Ay Mates.......the ring of it hits the ears as does the beauty of the dinner bell.   Like the bracing salt spray that hits your face from the bow of the USS Ronald Reagan.  Perfect.  I admit it.

     Clint's advice for his son to heed the Old Doc was headline news all over the Web.  Strange.  Such common advice from father to son just a generation ago.    Today what startling heresy!  OMG! What EVER does THAT mean anyway?  How yesterday!!  

     Indeed.   How yesterday. 

     Stiffen your spines you Men, and stick with the Old Doc.  He's got your back.  In "Manhood Agonistes" we have discussed, though pathetically so,  how Marxism has eroded American Manhood over the last 60 years using the jackhammers of Atheism, Feminism, Environmentalism, and Veganism as the tools methodically destroying the freedom of  American ethos.    Well, your Old Doc is convinced that the surest way to counter these corrosive "isms" is to rally you Men to flock  to the most monumental Human Doctrine yet seen in the Modern Era.  Yup, another "ism."  And that is,  Manism.

     Catchy, don't you think?  And likely to cause the most massive tidal wave of Human advancement since the American Industrial Revolution and the discovery of fire.     And surely the most important antidote to the sickening Marxist cultural umbrella that is smothering our "shining city on a hill."  Huge all right, but no, we do not need to call it Doc-ism.  No, no.  Manism will do just fine, thank you.

     We are going to keep it simple here fellas.  No high-falutin' phrases ostensibly meant to sound learned, but actually crafted to deceive.  No divisions, resentments.  No pitting the Man against the woman;  the old against the young;  the rich against the poor;  the laborer against the owner; the meat-eaters against the plant eaters; the Liberals against the Christians.  None of this "haves" against the "have-nots."  No, no, friends, while Marxism or Marx-schism is a destructive philosophy that fosters enslavement, incompetence and the Yugo,   Manism, unites Men and woman in the common cause of freedom, courage, capitalism and American exceptionalism.  Simple to say.  And believe it or not, simple to do......simply, stop allowing yourselves to be controlled by your Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Laziness, Wrath, Envy, and most of all Pride.

     "There is one vice of which no man in the world is free;  which every one in the world loathes when he sees it in someone else; and of which hardly any people,  except Christians, ever imagine that they are guilty themselves.  I have heard people admit that they are bad-tempered, or that they cannot keep their heads about girls or drink, or even that they are cowards.  I do not think I have ever heard anyone who was not a Christian accuse himself of this vice.  And at the same time I have very seldom met anyone, who was not a Christian, who showed the slightest mercy to it in others.  There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves.  And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others.
     The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit;  and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility.  You may remember, when I was talking about sexual morality, I warned you that the centre of Christian morals did not lie there.  Well, now, we have come to the centre.  According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride.  Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison;  it was through Pride that the devil became the devil;  Pride leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind."
                                                                                  C.S. Lewis, from "Mere Christianity"

     Stay with me now Lads, do not shut down.  The Old Doc does not intend to proselytize and shovel religion at you.  Heaven forbid that you should contemplate God when you've got so many Selfies still to post on Facebood.  But you Teacher's Union-educated Core readers out there might just want to go ahead and explore, for the very first time, the events around the founding of the United States of America.  You are in for a surprise.  (Oh hell, if you like picture books only, pick up the "Rush Revere" series on the founding of this country then).

Even a cursory skimming of America's founding shows that the Founding Hombres were deeply devoted to God, His Divinity, and His Christian exhortations.  Fact.  

"We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."   --Declaration of Independence

     Now, since our State-run schools do not teach American history anymore, you may have never seen these inspiring words.  No, you are much more familiar with how Sitting Bull was cheated out of the contiguous 48 states,  and Alaska, and Hawaii.  Yeah, and I guess you know all about bringing back Hawaiian Queen Lili'uokalani since we also ripped her off.  No more George Washington or Honest Abe's birthdays.  Nah, white Christians, so yesterday.

     But 56 Men, all Christians, signed this above-quoted document, knowing there was a good chance that in doing so they were signing their death warrants.  The British had the largest, most effective Army and Navy the world had ever seen, and their hanging ropes were quite sturdy and plentiful.  Ideal for punishing rebel upstarts.  The American colonies, meanwhile, had pitchforks, triangular hats and spitballs with which to challenge this juggernaut.  Oh yeah, and they also  had Manly Courage;  they had General Washington; and they had the  Christian belief in the Almighty as the "Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions."

     So Gentlemen, throw away "The Communist Manifesto" and instead pick up the American Declaration of Independence;  the U.S. Constitution as ratified in 1784;  the Federalist Papers;  or the personal letters of General Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.  All just a Google away.  And maybe pick up a book entitled, "His Excellency:  George Washington", by Joseph J. Ellis.  He describes a touching scene in our early history, one of many indeed.  The war is won, the British are defeated, and America is on its way to nationhood.  The prominent Men of the Revolution gathered, all eager to follow the General into the next phase of nation building.  They were all there:  Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, Hancock, Madison, et al.  Yet, when The General entered, a hush fell over this large room of prominent Men.    A room filled with these greatest of Men, future Presidents.  The greatest collection of Men human history has ever produced, and yet they deferred humbly to the greatest of them all.   These giants of human history bowed before The General,  and addressed him as,  "His Excellency."  ......Wow.

     The General was indeed the Hombre of all American Hombres.  Yet, although I have read many, I do not recall one letter of his that failed to mention God and His Divine Providence.  You feel what I'm getting at here Fellas?  Not only is open devotion to God Almighty NOT un-Manly, why, it is the fundamental criterion for Manliness!  Period.  So puuuleeeeze cut the crap,  and unbunch your bloomers every time someone mentions God, especially as it relates to America's future.   BEING A GODLESS COMMIE IS THE LOSING TEAM FELLAS!!!   In fact,  Manism requires your personal relationship with The Almighy.  Marxism is anti-God and based on the devil's Pride.  And please note that the devil's Pride is not what is commonly called "A Man's Pride."  A Man's pride is usage referring synonymously to "A Man's Honor."  Get that straight Boyz, and you can stop pretending that you are confused.  Now you know.

     Manism is John Paul Jones screaming at the enemy who taunted him to surrender as his own ship was sinking, "I have just begun to fight!"  Manism is Abraham Lincoln seeking to bind the Nation's wounds.  Manism is Ronald Reagan rejecting the Communist Leader's sly Reykchavik proposal to reduce nuclear weapons if only the U.S. would stop developing a defensive shield known as Star Wars.  Manism was Calvin Coolidge who insisted on the dull but honest road of sticking to the letter of the U.S. Constitution which he had sworn to uphold, rather than violate his oath by taking a more Populist and expedient road.  Manism is your Old Doc Adams resisting the clamor to jump on the pass-out-opiates-like-gummy-bear bandwagon that  today is causing so much addictive grief to so many.  Manism is the husband who risks strife by standing up for his children by challenging his wife's Feminist upbringing that is certain to doom his family.  Manism is Senator Ted Cruz admitting he loves Jesus, when so many use the name for an epitaph.  Manism is St. Paul enduring whippings, imprisonment and stoning to bring Christ to the four corners of the world.  Manism is knowing the difference between Good and Evil, and lending a hand to the Good while lending your sword to fighting the evil.  Manism works for the benefit of Mankind.  Marxism has NEVER WORKED at all.

     Manism is asking her father for her hand in marriage, and humbly sitting attentively as her father says his piece.

Manism is changing the plastic lining of the trash can without mommy-wife telling you to do it;  changing the baby's crap-butt diaper when your wife is at wit's end;  doing the dishes as a special treat for your hard-working, loyal wife;  making the bed because your wife is making you breakfast;  vacuuming the rugs to spare your wife the exertion, dust and the yuk of changing out the dust bag;  and taking her out to eat because she is always cooking your meals.

     Marxist feminism on the other hand has you changing the trash bag because she is keeping 50/50 statistics;  ditto for changing the diaper;  ditto for doing the dishes;  ditto for making the bed, vacuuming the rugs, and various other tasks that fall within her traditional domain, but which are now beneath her dignity as an "oppressed" class.  Marxism has you Fellas marching lock-step down her job lists because you must "amend" your behavior in having  "subjugated" her for so long.  Thats right, now  she and her sisters-in-the-struggle can move on to break out of their chains and glass ceiling, and basically teach you Boyz a lesson.  You know, dictatorship of the proletariat and all that Commie stuff.  Quite a formula for enduring love, loyalty and happiness, ay Men?

     Which philosophy then,  do you think will better create the more successful, loyal, devout, respectful, faithful, humble and courageous family?  Well if you say, Marxism, then good luck pal.  Jong Kim watching his family starve enshrouded in darkness in N. Korea might argue with you on that;  ditto for Juan Valdez in Venezuela;  Marco Rubio of Cuba;  Pavel Chekov of the now defunct Soviet Union, and all those Chinese they find baked to death in ship containers in failed efforts to make their way to America as sex slaves.

     Nah  my friends, on the contrary.    It is Manism that is productive of  unbreakable bonds between Man and woman.  This bond  creates healthy families that breathe freedom; that work their butts off to build companies and communities;  and that make America The Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.  Simple as that.  Less whining and more winning......Why would your Old Doc lie to you Pards?  General Washington was the Father of our Country, or he wasn't;  The General believed in God or he didn't;  His Excellency was a fool, or he wasn't.  THINK Men!

     Perhaps we should formally define Manism for you Boyz that may be having trouble connecting the dots.  Let's put the spurs to 'er shall we Men?  Manism is the spiritual and cultural philosophy that guides a Man to  search out God's will that he may strive to act honorably in being a wise and faithful husband;  to lead his family with courage, integrity, loyalty and devotion;  to produce disciplined children of faith, character and patriotism; and to better defend the values of his Manhood, his  family, his community and his country against any and all enemies, even at the cost of his life.  Gentlemen, that is the cold, hard truth......

"....You think that you're a real man
But you're nothing but a fool
The way you run away from love
The way you try to play it cool

I'm gonna say this just one time
Time is running out on you
You best remember me my friend
I am the cold hard truth

You best remember me my friend

I am the cold hard truth."                                     -- sung by George Jones, "The Cold Hard Truth"


     What?  You cannot accept that some dopey, but megalomanic Doc can define a revolutionary new social, economic and political movement and create a new world order?  A simple definition that can destroy Karl Marx' "Das Kapital?"   A new idea that can wipe Feminism, Unionism, Classism, Sexism, Racism and Hip-Hop off the face of this earth?........Well yes.   And a sheepish, well......


          "This IS a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth  a good work.  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach.  Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;  One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?). Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.  Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without;  lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.  Likewise MUST the deacons BE grave, not double tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;  Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.  And let these also first be proved;  then let them use the office of a deacon, being FOUND blameless.  Even so MUST THEIR wives BE grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.  Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.  For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.  These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:  But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God,  the pillar and the ground of the truth.  And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness:  God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.   

                                                                  ----  The First Letter of St. Paul to Timothy:  3


     So you can clearly see, Fellas, I am describing something that is NOT new or innovative.  Something known, in fact, in very ancient times.   These are the Human FUNDAMENTALS.  There is no such thing as a NEW FUNDAMENTALS.  No, no, no....no NEW ANTIQUES.  Sheesh, no wonder you keep being sold a bill of goods!  Heck, St. Paul wrote this 2000 years ago Pards!  Yeah, and St. Paul was an Hombre.  He was on his way to Damascus one day to find and imprison some reported Christians.  Yeah, his job was to round up those who followed Christ, throw them in the klinker where they awaited death-as-catnip for the hungry lions.  Real sweatheart was this Paul.  Sorta like the now defunct Soviets, Plutarco Calles's 1920's Mexico, and today's Red Chinese and Islamic states, don't you think?

     Anyway, on the road to Damascus, Jesus did a takedown on him that would make Chris Weidman blush;  caused him to be blind;  then asked him why he was hassling Him, or something to that effect.  Long story short,  Paul the Enforcer eventually pledged allegiance to Jesus, and dedicated the rest of his life to spreading the word, and for the rest of his life he became the hunted one.  Imprisoned, whipped, stoned, nearly drowned....numerous times.  He never wavered.  He never lost Faith.  He even ended up writing a lot of the New Testament.  Which is a testament to what he witnessed.  Get it?.......It is always easy to fall in with the faddish or popular.  It is courageous to take the righteous road while in the midst of sinners.  And you know it too........  You know in your heart we are NOT talking Religion here.  We are talking Faith, integrity, character, courage.  We are reminding you that there is a God, and you, my friend, are not Him.

   

     So why is the Old Doc so insistent on talkin' God with you Fellas?  Simply because if you continue to pretend that He is not important, then this disastrous philosophy of yours will  make your attaining true Manhood impossible.  This retardation will then carry over to your son, propagating weak families, weak communities, and an America that abandons our courageous allies,  like Israel, while at the same time buying "We Heart Ayatollah" buttons.  Oh wait, that's already happened! 

    Go ahead and name one true American Hombre that you admire, and who was an atheist.  Which reminds me.  If you think you are Atheist or Agnostic, then you are not mature enough to read this treatise and you should go back to all your college sophomore boyfriends and tap a keg, and spend the rest of your life shitfaced.   Get out of here right now!   You are too petulant and immature to even matter.  And I am too old to debate with the deceived and the deceivers.  I am interested only in you dumbos who DO believe in God but who are confused, while being dragged around by your nose rings into listlessness;  shacking up;  50/50 marriages; and feminist sensitivities.  Yeah, you guys that get on your hands and knees to make sure you are on "the same non-threatening level"  with your little boy;  who perpetually talk to him in baby talk;  and who call little boys "Buddy" in order to show the gals that you are "relating" to your future stepson.   You, ma Brutha's are not being effective Manists.  But the Old Doc still cares.  You still have potential.  The Old Doc abides!

     C'mon, give in you hardcore knuckleheads!  Give in to the Old Doc.  I am giving you the "real heat" here.  Be a disciple of Manism.  Your wife will thank you.  Your sons will thank you.  Your country will thank you.  You say you'd rather tattoo stupid crap on your fat legs, wear your hat sideways with baggy shorts that go from mid-buttcrack to mid-calf?  Then, congratulations, you have become a clown.  The laughingstock.  You say you would accommodate to your wife's misbegotten and family-poisoning feminist instincts, rather than stand up for your kids and grow your God-given pair?  You'd rather doom your son to pea-sized testicles?  Well then, there is the make-up room.....  

     Fellas, fellas, c'mon back, C'MON!  Don't stomp away AGAIN, in a hissy, sissy fit.  Wipe away this Marxist-based wreckage of your past, take freely of what you find here, and join us!  Even Robert Duvall sings about Heavenly themes, and hell,  HE's GUS!

I'm gonna liver forever, 
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

You're gonna want to hold me
Just like i always told you
You're gonna miss me when i'm gone

Nobody here will ever find me
But i will always be around
Just like the songs i leave behind me
I'm gonna live forever now

You fathers and you mothers
Be good to one another
Please try to raise your children right

Don't let the darkness take 'em
Don't make 'em feel forsaken
Just lead them safely to the light

When this old world is blown us under
And all the stars fall from the sky
Remember someone really loves you
We'll live forever you and i

I'm gonna live forever
I'm gonna cross that river
I'm gonna catch tomorrow now

As Sung by Wayne in "Crazy Heart"

     Men of the world unite!  You have nothing to lose but your chains!  And your apron.....Grab a cigar; listen to Rush; go to Church on Sunday and ask Him for guidance.  The answers will come if your own house is in order.  Unite behind our Heavenly Father.  Only He can guide you to family leadership;  to Manly devotion to your wife;  to be an inspiration for your sons and daughters.  Discard the pretenders from your life, from your son's lives.   And remember, not everyone will get to Heaven.  Listen Pal, you certainly do not want to end up in Dante's Eighth Circle, Ninth Pouch.  Yikes!

     "No barrel, even though it's lost a hoop

        or end-piece, ever gapes as one whom I

        saw ripped right from his chin to where we fart:

        his bowels hung between his legs, one saw

        his vitals and the miserable sack

        that makes of what we swallow excrement."              -- "The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri

     Clint exhorting his son to "be a man,"  and Don Vito's bitch-slapping of Johnny Fontaine are at least attempts at Manism.  But let us appreciate their efforts in denouncing Marxist-feminism by their Masculine proclamations.  A crude Manist is by far superior to a confused and dangerous Marxist and Feminist.  Some of the most dangerous Feminists today are males;  pretenders who damage the psyche of our young men in government,  media, schools, colleges, and iTunes. 

     Think Fellas....think for the sake of your own fulfillment....think about your growing boy.....think about your country......think about Divine Providence.......or keep stinking up the joint with "minimum wage", "gun control," exchanging deserters for Taliban leaders,  abandoning brave and isolated Israel, and bowing to Iranian bullies so they can get nukes.....Your son is watching.  Be thinkers, not stinkers........Doc...........

     Oh, sorry Fellas....hate to bother, but just one more question.  Why is it that the Marxist Left is sooooh accommodating to building a Mosque on Ground Zero, and yet are so avidly working to ban The Nativity from U.S. Courthouses and Christian prayer from your son's schools?    Just asking........

Father Dysphoria

                                        " A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle."
                                                                                                                -- Gloria Steinem


     Some strange happenings in current events Me Lads.  Seems the famous folks are daily making the Old Doc's Manhood rants more and more relevant.  You Men, especially you young fellas,  ought to stick close to the Old Doc.  Danger lurking.  As Putin grabs for more gusto;  as IS grabs for more heads to lop off;  and a China grabs for more MSG  to weaken American take-out buffs, American Men are dazed,  glassy-eyed, wobbling rubber-legged in the center of the ring.  Taking some heavy shots.  May not make it to the bell.  West Point, decorated Green Beret gets his Medals taken away by our illustrious Commander-in-Weep for, drum roll....having taken out a confirmed Muslim bomb maker and confirmed killer of many American soldiers.   In theatre......  Our genderless Prez has deemed that this decorated Soldier, this Man who has risked it all in the face of enemy fire,  did not follow ROE's to the letter.

     So the Man is "Branded", stripped of his honors, sword broken and tossed to the ground.  At the same time a Military analyst  threatens to cut his own balls off until the U.S. Military relents and provides him with the Hormones needed to turn him into a sheila.   Seems he was afflicted with Gender Dysphoria.  The Military relented and agreed to pay for the switch.  Heeshee is rewarded of course;  the hero is cursed.   This  new "disease"  interests a Medical Man like the Old Doc.  Hmm!  "Gender Dysphoria"......Marvels of modern Medical Science!  Now, was it Man without a fish.....fish without a man....or bicycle without a seat?  Ouch!

     Anyway, our O' Great One, our Genderless-in-Briefs just unveiled his defense strategy to combat the growing, worldwide Fascist Islamic War.  Yeah, he is going to fund "jobs" programs in Muslim countries, and then drop in on the UN from time to time to see how they are doing.  Whoa, testosteroni-with-cheese flowing like a river from that eunuch!

Jeepers Mr. Wilson, the bike again.  Ms. Steinem was really on to something!

     To tell you the truth, Old Doc is minimally troubled by the hee's out there that want to be sheila's.  In a way, can't blame 'em.  The gals are the winning team right now;  rat's leaving a sinking ship and all that.  Join the winners boys;  Be A She and All You Can Be!   I reckon we Men who want to continue being Men have got bigger fish to fry, ay lads?

     Let's leave the poor gals alone from a while, shall we?  Let's focus on the XY's, from boy to Man.  Previously, we have discussed the damage Xena has done in weakening Manhood in general.  So much so in fact that fully half of my 4 readers are actually considering making the "switch" just to get the Old Doc off their backs!  So let's hone in on the fledgling boys, some of whom will survive to true Manhood.  Like hatchling Sea Turtles trying to get to sea, they indeed have a rough road ahead.

     Let us talk about raising boys to successfully become honorable Men.  Again, we are talking regular ol' Fellas married to basically honest but perhaps misguided gals.  We are not addressing the hardcores.  The Activists.  The pathological.  What does this have to do with Gender Dysphoria?  Well, other than being a neat sound-biscuit for describing why a Military Analyst was threatening to cut his own balls off, it is also the latest snappy name for "unease or dissatisfaction" for one's birth sex chromosomes.  You see, Men are born with X and Y chromosomes;  women only X.  And don't evermore say the word "gend_r."  (Nor "issues", "man-cave", "price-point", "Kashi",  or any French phrase).  Use of these sound-bite ready, politically fashionable words will deplete your Masculinity every time you say them.  Leave language like this to the girls, or trained professional like the Old Doc;  or to the CCC's, or the "Chromosome Confusion Crowd."

     Let's do, then,  talk about the new "diseases" facing boys today as they make their way down the beach towards Manhood, assaulted daily by the gauntlet of our predatory culture.     There is the latest of the fabricated diseases, or "Gender Dysphoria".   (The Old Doc can safely say "gender" because his is a trained professional).   There is the old tried and trues, like Gender Confusion, Bipolar, Depression, and Attention Deficit Disorders.  And there are the permutations from this well, like Defiance Disorder,  Oppositional Behavior Disorder, and the myriad of Childhood Anxiety Disorders that can apply to purty much any situation.  Label you boy, forever.  Not intended here to be a Medical Treatise here, merely a wetting-of-the-beak for you fellas with falteringY-chromosome syndrome.  But heed this warning from an Old Doc you Men.  Just because Doctors are bamboozled into accepting the Activist's phraseology for "new" diseases;  and just because the Activist Doctors work to create scientific acceptance for these politically opportune "diseases"; and just because these ready-for-lawsuit names begin to pop up in the Medical literature -- does not make them legitimate scientific phenomena.  Doctors have always been influenced by social trends and do OFTEN deviate from sound scientific principles in order to avoid persecution,  like tar and feathering.  Hey sports fans, I mean, wasn't General Washington doomed when his Doctors stuck leeches all over him to suck out the "bad humours?"  The confused Presidential Doc might 've been run outta town on a rail if he had suggested steam treatment for the General's epiglottitis.   Sans the leeches.

      OK, so we are for the moment going to drop the he/she, boy/girl, Man/woman.  All "he" for a while because this Old Doc wants to bore in on you fellas for a bit.  Might be a bit rough, but for a moment embrace you fear, ay lads?  We are attempting to rescue you from this wanton cultural (NOT medical) assault on your Y-chromosome!  No, no, don't get up and hide behind the gal's skirt; don't hide from Manly discourse;   hang in there a bit Boyz!  Yes, you really DO need to hear this.  Or maybe you are more comfortable with the hackneyed cliche the gals really favor:  "We need to talk......."   "You got mud in your ears or what?"

     Sitting quietly at Mass this morning, trying to concentrate on a bit of a higher plane, my own serenity was shattered by two  boys in the pew just in front of your favorite Old Doc.  About two and three years old.  I was indeed exasperated.  And inspired to compose this written payback.  Their father's painful confusion during the entire service was impressive, to say the least.  Let us coin a new medical term.  Let us heretofore call this "Father Dysphoria."  Hey, I can play this game to, ay Pards?

     Actually, I was not so irritated by the ignorant boy cubs, but I was really steamed and dismayed at their MetroDad!  Mrs. Doc and me arrived a bit early for services,  quiet meditation........ We sat in our favorite pew.    In the midst of my big-time Mea Culpas, in walks a nice looking family of 41/2;  pregnant mom, Pop, and two male rugrats.  No problem there, nice family, teaching them boys early about their Heavenly Father.  Old Doc is certainly a big advocate of this family worship;  not seen often enough with today's Selfie generation.

     Well sir, no sooner do they sit down then do the two Devil Boys start fussing, whining, and SPREADING OUT.  Search and destroy, heads on a swivel, looking for anything that they might vandalize.  Trained Family Doc that I am, I failed to notice the 6-6-6's on their scalps.  Grabbing the prayer books, running up and down the pew.  Both parents looking on adoringly with cult-like smiles transfixed on their clueless faces as noise and destruction rained down upon bystanding parishioners.  When the decibel level reached jackhammer range, MiniDad was finally compelled to try to hush the devil boys, quite unsuccessfully I might add.  Each time he attempted to "convince" the 2 and 3 year olds about the "quiet as a Church mouse" lecture series, they became dangerously agitated.  So agitated, MiniDad actually even threatened a time-out.  Holy Children's Services Batman!

     At this point, MiniDad watched lovingly as mom then began unpacking the two large baby bags and accessories they had carried in.  Out came the snacks, the crackers, the pretzels, the sweets and the picnic blanket, all nicely packed in zip-locks.  The boys ran from bag to bag, loudly pulling out all of their contents scattering them onto the benches, the pews, and the floor.  These boys were in a frenzy, believe me!  Finally, as the pies de resistance, mom pulls out the toys, including a full sized wooden train that clanked hideously against the wooden benches as they rolled it along  25 feet clackity-clacking all the while the  Padre inaudibly delivered his homily.   It looked like the Monsignor was lip-syncing.

     Back and forth the Union Pacific Railroad barreled hideously right under the Old Doc's hands clasped in prayer.  Mom arose after an eternity, and at this point I actually thought she was going to put a stop to this heretical rioting.   Instead, she lovingly walked the 25 feet or so down the pew, again right in front of the Doc, sat herself down, and actually began to smile approvingly at the noisy boys rumbling that wooden train up and down that hard, wooden bench.  She looked up at MiniDad who was also enchanted, and both smiled again.  May our Heavenly Father forgive me for my impure thoughts at that moment.......

     Now, here is where the Old Doc is at a disadvantage in your confused eyes.  From my point of view this is all preventable.  From your naive perspective and Kool-aid soaked brainwashing, these baby godzillas are "just children."  What do they know about solemnity and worship? How, ever, can we control this?  Boys will be boys, right?  What do they know, indeed.  Well fellas, they "know" at this point, everything and anything you have taught them to know, that's what.  The corollary is that they don't know what you haven't taught them, sports fans!

     And here's the jist of it Boyz -- with mom's help, you have failed these little boys right out of the shute.  From the moment they are born, you stand by and watch as they become the show ponies for your "happy" marriage.  They become like little iPhones that you can show off to your friends, your relatives, and innocent bystanders like the grouchy Old Doc in church, in the market, in the restaurant, or in the movie theatre.  You feign that they are "so precious" when there is an audience to applaud you, and then you neglect them when no one is watching.  In Public, EVERYTHING they do is ever so cute;  in private, you just can't be bothered to properly parent them, so busy are you just trying to cope with your high maintenance wife and her incessant demands and perpetual misery.

     Sure fellas, you let them be paraded around the neighborhood like little show poodles, with all the latest in strollers, Bjorn carriers, injury-proof toys, and little $100 running shoes.  Yeah, two-year olds with the Reebok running shoes!  Grooming them with that Metro-Magic all right.   The brats are fully iPhone and iPad ready by the time they are two years old. When no one is watching, you stick one of these electronic devices in their little faces like a pacifier, so they won't bother you and your wife as you puff up your chests in front of friends and smile knowingly at just what parents-of-the-year you are, I mean, "just look at those cute curls!"  And this is your little boy you are pointing at!  When everyone is watching, and just begging for a demonstration, why you and the wife just wind 'em up and let 'em perform. All the while you look on adoringly, confirming to the ostensibly admiring crowd that you are in NO WAY like your own Father.   Yeah, unlike your Pop, you do deliver on that "quality time."

     So when these boys really need you, in private, when no one is looking, you abandon their disciplines to the iPad babysitter.  Then when the crowd is watching, you engage in every bit of self-indulgent "parenting" just guaranteed to create a first class narcissist apprentice.  But with cute curls......  You Pop, are allowing for the creation of a monster -- a selfish, self-centered baby godzillette who is destined to make everyone around them suffer their show-off antics;  their attention-craving behaviors; and their disruptions of the Old Doc's attempt at communion in Church.  Just watch them Fellas, any and everywhere you go -- they are fidgety, whiny, roving, searching for anything that they can touch, knock over, bang on the table or throw on the floor.  Decent folks are repulsed by them.  They are uneasy because they have never been taught calm, dignity, politeness, or discipline.   In public and in private Pop, that is your job, your responsibility, even if fem-mom is not completely on board yet.

     What is a confused, bewildered, dysphoric Pop to do?  No Lads, do NOT make The Switch.   You bewildered Y's can remember the words of the best Therapist for Father Dysphoria that this Old Doc has ever witnessed.  Yup, Don Vito Corleone who poignantly thundered, "you can act like a Man!" 

Yes, you and mommy are the problem, Pards.  Your boys are not suffering from a Ritalin deficiency.  Labeling them as "ADD-ers" isn't going to do anything more than to make your boys future drug addicts, marijuana smokers, and losers with a built-in rationale to be "dysphoric" about anything that will get them free room and board.  And you, you my self-righteous Daddy, you get away scot free.  No responsibility at all for the dirty deed of creating this mess, and then covering it up with a drug -- yeah, daily doses of amphetamine prescribed by the women in the life of your precious little boy.  (The scandal is real Fellas, millions of little boys,  now on Ritalin, and the drug addiction is a medical fact.  Oh, and really, only a rare little girl is put on this stuff.  You think this "gender" assault is exaggerated?  Extract your Male head out of your arse Gents, facts certainly are stubborn things).

     In order to prevent your boy(s) from contracting Gender Dysphoria, you Fellas need to first prevent Father Dysphoria, and you can start with your own sensitive and self-absorbed psyche.  Above all, start with a few basics, you know, kinda like playing pepper before the first inning of a baseball game....baseball......... B-A-S-E-B-A-L-L.  America's sport?  You know, the one with the wooden stick, and hard round ball, a leather mitt, hey batta batta?......Sheeesh!

     First of all you have got to stop letting the boys call you Daddy.  Number one.  I mean each time your boy addresses you or refers to you with this feminine moniker, you lose Testosterone production and your boy induces his own testicular retardation.  You Boyz listen to the Duke, and correct this miscalculation post haste;  or stamp it out like the plague it truly is before it catches on.  Honest fellas, hear me on this.

"You can call me Dad, you can call me Father, you can call me Jacob, and you can call me Jake.  You can call me a dirty old son-of-a-bitch, but if you EVER call me Daddy again, I'll finish this fight."
                                                                                                                         -- Jacob McCandles
                                                                                                                             "Big Jake"

     You should be trying to demonstrate to your boy the Manly Virtues, not feminine sensitivities.  Yeah Pards, avoid the "SSS" or Sissy Sensitivity Syndrome.  Chuck all the girly psycho-tripe, psycho-babble and pyscho-bullshit!  Liberate yourselves from these ovarian claptraps!  Male Gonads UNITE!..........

     Now listen, there are traits which are definitely appropriate for the women-folk.  Sensitivity, tenderness, emotional verbosity, nurturing, intimacy....you bet, in the right proportions mixed with dollops of courage, devotion and loyalty;  then hey you have got a gal to ride the river with.  No question.  But Men, you are just plain 'ol gonna confuse your boy if you mirror your wife's psyche.  I realize that this is what some Activists actually want, but surely you do not want your boy to be straddling the fence when it comes to his Masculinity....Fellas?

     OK so get rid of these truly insane notions about your "issues."  Your "issues" are irrelevant when it comes to a successful environment for raising boys, and I would add, for a successful marriage.  Stuff the "intimacy" issues;  the "anger" issues;  the "abandonment" issues;  and the "tissue" issues.  They are concepts that are fundamentally propagated in the modern culture to weaken the fabric of American Masculinity and you OWE IT TO YOUR BOY TO EXCOMMUNICATE THIS GENDER CLAPTRAP FROM YOUR REPERTOIRE......NOW!

     So much of this cultural pycho-babble essentially weakens the authority, discipline, stoicism, courage and leadership roles Men have held for eons.  You assimilate this doctrine of blather and you condemn your boy to a future of confusion, inadequacy, cowardice, uncertainty, docility, and frivolity.  Gone is the dogged loyalty and devotion;  gone is the undaunted courage;  and gone is Duty, Honor, Country.  You become unsure of your country's time -honored values;  cynical about masculine pursuits;  frivolous about marriage and  family;  and sacreligious about God,  Heaven and Hell.  You can no more teach your boy to be a Man than can a "fish ride a bicycle (sic)."

     As the Old Doc has said before,  get right first and foremost with your soul, stand up for your Manhood, and defend these ancient gifts from God as if you boy's life depended on them.   Because it does.  From the moment of your boy's birth you are on stage, you are being watched and you are being evaluated by this new male being.  Specifics?  Well, for starters, think twice about all this La Maze crap, breathing in tandem with your wife in labor.   Think twice about standing in the Labor and Delivery Room with that stupid hat, booties and mask on.  Consider instead staying in the waiting room with the Fellas and passing out cigars when your baby is born.  Hey, just a thought, tongue-in-cheek I guess.  Go on, go into the Delivery room with your wife if you want, but without the bewildered, stupid grin;  without the synchronized breathing;  and for Heaven's sake WITHOUT the video camera!  I mean, you really should NOT be all that comfortable with the same outfit on that all the nurses are wearing.  Go ahead, you compare the dignity involved then...........

........and now,

     You might think,  "ah, what the heck, what does it matter to the boy at that age anyway?"  Well think again Pards.  New evidence suggests that your boy is processing your conversations with mom, and even music,  while inside the UTERUS!    For you college grads, that means BEFORE birth.  You bet, your boy is groovin' to  iTunes while still doing the back stroke inside mom.  So everything you do in front of Junior matters.  Everything.

     We have already touched on some other early babyhood Pop basics.  Needless to say, you want your growing boy baby, boy infant, boy child and young boy to experience you Fellas in as Masculine a light as possible, at all times.  At all times you want to display Manly behaviors, which Junior will quickly and thoroughly begin to emulate.  Display girlie behavior, and that will be emulated.  Be sure of that.  Right off the bat see to it that you and your wife discuss and get unified on your boy's need for Pop to be a masculine role model.  Your wife may at times lean to the girlie side, because, yah, she is a girl.  But you my Manly friends, dump the Bjorn Baby Carrier;  keep it simple with the stroller and make the color a masculine black;  and X-NAY on the pictures with you lying barefoot on the floor with baby on your chest as if you are breast feeding.  In fact, keep your own picture-taking to a minimum so that you do not engender the Selfie syndrome in your boy.  Speak in your normal voice when addressing Junior, and avoid Hollywood-style "quality time."   And  avoid on-your-knees goo-goo gaga games.  Go ahead and read to the boy, at any age, but dump the Little Mermaid and stick to the "El Cid" or "King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table" or Grimm's Fairy Tales.  And a word about buying toys for your boy.  Don't.......Buy him a .22 rifle, a pocketknife or a baseball mitt.  But stuff the "Tickle-Me-Elmo."  And jeez Men, get that girlie-curls boy of yours a damn haircut!

     But above all, begin lessons in discipline and behavior  -- and do so often and early.  This is your strong suit Lads.  When Junior is still latching on to Mamma's teat you can begin Man training.  The gruff voice of displeasure.  The sternness of your physical guidance.  The solemnity you demonstrate during solemn occasions -- yeah, Church services and funerals.  The restraint you show them at restaurants, theaters and the dinner table.  Anywhere you may go, you must demonstrate proper behavior to your boy no matter what age he may be at the time.  He is watching.  He is recording.  He is assimilating.  There is scientific evidence that your boy identifies with you as a Male within weeks of birth, and maybe sooner.  Therefore your actions become a modeling template for his modus operandi.  You act like a weenie, your boy will very quickly begin acting out with disruptive, boisterous, inappropriate and exasperating behaviors.  The older and more physically capable, the more disgusting.

     On the other hand, shushing during Church services ;  engaging in the disciplines that disincentivize  tantrums in restaurants or markets; and maintaining a steady, serious habitus and demeanor will help Junior evolve his behavior appropriately.  You Pop;  it is you that largely determines how obnoxious Junior is allowed to become.  You control him at home, you control him in Church, you control him at the market.  Consistent seriousness on your part will engender respect and calm on Junior's part.  Just a look will often calm his incipient outburst if you have laid the Manly groundwork for him.  All this works even better with you and your wife on the same radio band frequency Pal, believe me.  You've got your work cut out for you there Pard, no doubt.

     The most far reaching, enduring, effective disincentive to your boy acting-out with bad behavior  IS NOT RITALIN for Heaven sakes!  It is plain, old-fashioned, roll-up-your-sleeves Manly demeanor, frowns, gruffness, sternness, firmness, consistency....yes, principled discipline.  You cannot effectively discipline your boy if you are a scatter-brained, Metro Mess dealing with your intimacy issues, your anger issues, or your abandonment issues.  You must stand like a mighty oak tree in the howling wind.  Let your wife parent with the flexibility of  the weeping willow since that is her strength.  But your strength IS strength,  and although from time to time you may be accused of being inflexibly "brittle" your boy nevertheless needs to see the constancy of your Manhood.  Let everyone else around him lean, bend, wrap-around and compromise with every breeze, but your boy needs to see your feet firmly on the ground -- ready, willing and able to confront any and all eventualities and threats.  Hard-wired Fellas.  Ancient truths.

     Good, polite, courteous, generous, well-behaved children were expected in past generations.  The switch, the paddle, the punishment, the extra chores, the clear expression of disapproval and disappointment all used to be standard issue with parenting.  Believe me fellas, the trend toward spanking-free homes is a clear and present danger to your boy especially since boys are physical, rambunctious, and daring simply because their DNA prescribes these traits.  From time to time a physical show of force will deter Terrorism on the international stage;  as will it with your active, growing boy on the home front.  Don't be frightened Men.  This is NOT hate talk.  This is truth.  Proven.  Time-tested.  Fo' rills.

     Getting right with yourself Men, first and foremost. This is the key to Boyhood Development.  You, your head, your heart, your Soul.   Quit with the debate society.  Bow your head, on your knees and ask Our Heavenly Father for Manly Courage and Wisdom, and the answers will come, but only if your own house is in order.  Quit with the Gender confusion and gender dysphoria, and just stop saying, thinking or hearing "gender" period.  Stop doing things simply because the girls approve, simply because your wife demands it.  Evaluate every thing you do, every action you take, every word you utter, and every thought you think through the filter of your own eyes, your own ears, and your OWN MIND.  You are the final arbiter of your Manhood, and ultimately that of your boy.  Do not relegate this to his mom, his female teachers, female principal, and female pediatrician.  You messed up if you "compromised" when he was a little boy and let him grow up to become a  devil-worshipping, skinny-jeans, dope-smoker who is perennially trying to get into a rock band.  By the time your boy is 13 it is all over my friends;  that is unless you are prepared at that age for some battle royales, let me tell you.  Easier to start when they are babes.  Start 'em out right, grow 'em right and watch with pride as they grow straight and strong.  Patriots.  Integrity.  Courage.  American.

     Remember what Robert MacGregor told his son:

Son: Father, will the MacGregors ever be kings again? 

Robert Roy MacGregor: All men with honor are kings. But not all kings have honor. 

Son: What is honor? 

Robert Roy MacGregor: Honor is... 

[Mary looking on]

Robert Roy MacGregor: what no man can give ya. And none can take away. Honor is a man's gift to himself. 

Son: Do women have it? 

Robert Roy MacGregor: Women have the heart of honor. And we cherish and protect it in them. You must never mistreat a woman, or a lame man. Or stand by and see another do so. 

Son: How do you know if you have it? 

Robert Roy MacGregor: Never worry on the getting of it. It grows in you, and speaks to you. All you need do is listen.

     Listen Mates.  Listen to those animals in the pew in front of the Old Doc.  Listen, and then take action.  Stop that kid from shattering my few moments of serene contemplation.  Stop that little boy before he becomes irreversibly lost to insignificant, parasitical, selfish, self-centered narcissism.  America needs him.................Doc
