[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4424213, member: 63706"] First off, this "strongman" term you're using is simply a thinly veiled alternative for "father figure". It has been long understood that good fathers are essential for properly functioning families, which are the building blocks for a properly functioning society. The connection between fatherlessness and poverty is also well understood. It is sad that you mock the pain of those who grew up without fathers. Especially since many fatherless people are so because the government has been sending generation after generation of fathers and would-be fathers to die in over a century of one war after another. This required the government to step in and replace the father for war widows and orphans. Once that started, opportunistic politicians, mostly democrats, continued to promise expansion of the programs meant to take care of war widows, and offered them to all single mothers. In this way, the government has slowly been edging fathers out of families, which has lead to many of the problems our society faces today. You mock people growing up without fathers for looking for a father figure in their lives, which is a natural human condition. You and yours created the perfect conditions for what you are describing, and you condescend to those who merely want their birthright, someone to show them how to be men? Leftists hate men, they can't fill that void. [/QUOTE]
