We have had an absolutely amazing weekend. Let me quote one of the more notable statements made by our First Lady, commenting on her Husband's (that would be Bill Clinton) indiscretion with interns and others in the White House and elsewhere:

Why is this such an important little statement?

Let's examine it for a moment, shall we?

The position postulated by feminists (and particularly the hard-core lesbian cadre of feminism) is that men - fathers - are absolutely irrelevant to the development and nurturing of children, and that in fact two women can do it better than a nuclear family ever could.

Now, here on the national stage, we have the First Lady "deconstructing" the essence of that argument right on the front page of the newspapers of this country.

I'm not all that interested in the lurid details of the Flowers, or even the Lewinski affair. But what I am interested in is the 2,000lb blockbuster bomb that was just dropped amidships in the feminist camps that have been the cause of all of this hullabaloo over the past twenty or so years.

See, Hillary is right.

Men do matter.

Fathers matter.

Families matter.

And a family, my friends, is a man and woman, married to each other, along with some number of children. Their extended families may include aunts, uncles, grandparents, and siblings, but the definition of family - that social unit that binds society together and causes children to be raised and nurtured to their best advantage, is none other than the nuclear, traditional family.

If the most powerful man in the world cannot manage to keep it in his pants after more than a dozen years of indiscretion - due to conflict engendered by his own dysfunctional family, what the hell are we doing as a society encouraging the breakup and dysfunction in families with our current divorce, custody, and child support systems?

Isn't it time that all of the decent people stood up and said enough!

Enough of the "Heather has two mommies" nonsense.

Enough of the "Those kids are MINE!" mentality displayed by individuals going through divorce.

Enough of demonizing the fact, now admitted by the First Lady herself, at once both a self-proclaimed feminist and a victim of her own philosophical beliefs, that fathers are essential as full participants in the raising of the children they help to create.

You can't be a full participant when you're "allowed" to see your kids six nights a month.

You can't be a full participant when the government, at gunpoint (literally; just try to resist!) steals anywhere from a quarter to half of your pretax earnings and gives them to your ex-spouse - then allows her to spend that money on a new BMW or quit her job with absolutely no recourse.

You can't be a full participant when your ex-spouse takes the children and moves halfway across the country - thereby cutting off your contact.

You can't be a full participant when a parent can lie under oath and the courts and "GALs" will refuse to pursue their perjury, thereby enabling the next person to come along and do the same thing. Justice cannot be done unless the truth is uncovered, and refusal to prosecute perjury perverts the entire system of justice for all who follow.

It is high time that we stood up and said "we're not going to take it any more."

There exists a blueprint for solving this problem.

Give our children back their parents.

Give our parents back their kids.
