Judge Not - Lest Ye Be Boys

Yet another example of the war on Boyhood. Apparently the headmaster at a charter school threatened to expel an 8-year-old boy for drawing Halloween costumes - of a ninja, a star wars character, and a soldier. These drawings showed the characters carrying some sort of arms.
Oh yes, and the boy was writing "disturbing" things in his journal, like:
"The school’s headmaster was also reportedly upset about what he saw as violent passages from the child’s journal, including ones about scenarios with killer zombies. The child’s father, Jeff, whose last name was omitted from the report, told KPHO that the journal contained other passages about saving the world and that his son has no history of violence."
Oh dear me! That is cause for concern! We can't have eight year olds talking about zombies, or drawing Jedi with laser guns - especially not before Halloween, What kind of world do we live in anyway? I'll tell you what kind. We live in a world where liberals have overwhelmed every bit of common sense, where idiots have floated to the top as if cream, where boys are taught to be women and not men. We live in a world at war with the masculine virtues. We live in a world at war with our God-given nature. We live in a world hell bent on being hell bent.

Feminists, radical homosexuals, progressives who seek a docile populace, all labor for a more feminized society, one where there are no men

Feminists, radical homosexuals, progressives who seek a docile populace, all labor for a more feminized society, one where there are no men. Males, yes, but no men in the old traditional sense. Being a man is more than having a y chromosome; it entails a very specific thought process, one involving self-control, a willingness to sacrifice, strength in defending those in one's care. A willingness to suffer and if need be die for one’s country and kin. It is something that has to be taught. And the natural aggression that is a part of the higher levels of testosterone have to be channeled. A man is not someone who goes out and deflowers multiple women; that is a boy trying to prove to himself he is a man. A man is not a bully or someone who is cruel, but is strong and stands up to such people. A man is someone who channels his aggression into productive avenues, whether it be work, or raising children, or defending his family or country. This assault on boyhood is a direct challenge to manhood, and intentionally so. This is how you create a "new man", one more compliant, one with more femininity. And is it any wonder that ADHD is on the rise? Boys are not allowed to be boys, but are told to act like girls. When they act like boys they are treated like criminals. They wind up either being drugged or put into special classes where they are harangued by idiots to force them to behave more like Polyanna than Paul. Bunyan. This is most assuredly a war on boys and on masculinity. The current hot topic in sports is this business of concussions in the NFL, and the left will eventually get their way and turn pro football into a game of flag football, complete with women. They've been pushing women for some time (does anybody remember Lauren Silberman, that girl who tried out for the New York Jets as a kicker? She did embarrassingly bad, but that was the opening salvo. ) The Left will keep pushing for changes in the rules until women can participate, and eventually you will wind up with women in the majority, much like women dominate Academia now. Football has traditionally been a "masculine" sport. And it's not just the NFL; that is the nosecone for college and high school sports as well, and even little league. The pacification of football is well underway. See my article on the topic at American Thinker. And on playgrounds throughout the country children are no longer allowed to play the traditional games lest someone get a bloody nose. Dodge ball is largely gone. Most other such games are seriously hindered as well. Boys are not allowed to be boys. Deny boys dodge ball and tackle football when they are ten and when they are fifteen they play the St. Louis Knockout Game, or just knock over a convenience store. They have to be taught not to repress their aggression but to channel it. But any depiction of weaponry has come to meet a terrible oppositional force. Eric Holder, Barack Obama's Consigliere, has stated that we should "brainwash" children to hate guns, and what happened at this charter school is a prime example of that policy being implemented. Make the consequences terrible enough and the parents will become more active to stop the child from playing soldier or cowboys and Indians, or whatnot. Michelle Obama says "let's move!" but she means by that let's move within the lines, within the narrow chute that she and her progressive friends prescribe. When cattle are driven to market the cowboys say "let's move!" to the soon-to-be beefsteaks. Shelley wants to lead the children away pied-piper fashion. No dodge ball, no stickball, no tackle football, no playing army. You can jog, maybe, or play with ribbons... Call it exorcising at the Y. Or exercise your thumbs on gadgets. That is a full life to liberals.

Feminization of America

America was a wild place. This was a nation full of independent thinkers, men of action, people who did not sit apathetically and allow their "betters" to rule. That had to change, the pointy heads decided, and the feminization of America has been a long term project. They want to take a stallion and turn it into a carnival pony. That is what this ridiculousness in the schools is all about; breaking the younger generation. When I was a boy we used to sing a song in school (set to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic) which went something like this:
Glory, glory halla-luyer Teacher hit me with a ruler I met her at the door with me trusty .44 now she don't teach no more!
And we ALL understood that this was not some blueprint for action. In fact, it worked in the exact opposite way, helping to blow off steam. It was not a prelude to some sort of school shooting. No, those came later, after progressives got their hands on the youth. Liberals have to understand that by daming up natural impulses they will warp and channel them improperly. Aldous Huxley wrote of it in Brave New World, and he got it from Freud, Jung, and the psychologists of the early 20th century. It is nothing new. Yet liberals continue to do this in the classroom and school yard. Why? One cannot assume innocent motives here. And so we have things like Sandy Hook. Liberals say we cannot correct young people, that we have no right to tell them right from wrong. We have conflict resolution classes trying to teach a values-free belief system to resolve interpersonal problems. We tell the young that the worst sin is judgementalism. We tell the kids that everything is a shade of gray. But depict a firearm or other weapon and the wrath of the Lord will descend upon you. Sex too; there is a reason sex was downplayed for the young; the link between sex and aggression was obvious to everyone from the beginning, and young boys are driven to partial madness if their libido is overstoked. Liberals have forced sex into everything, and while their answer to the resulting fire they have ignited is free, unlimited sex, there isn’t enough to go around - and the consequences tend to be unhealthy, to put it mildly. But we cannot say “don’t do it” to the kids; the reply is “they’re going to do it anyway” yet they liberals are quite determined to stop any expression of boyhood. So, sex cannot be stopped but playing with toy guns can? And in the process the left picks the lock on self-control for these kids. Playing with toy guns is an outlet, while stoking up lust does the exact opposite. Judge not - unless ye be boys. Progressives are very judgmental. Far more so than those they denounce for holding standards. They cannot argue against traditional standards in any intellectual way, so they have created this clever trick whereby they argue against any concrete reality, any Natural Law, but they are quick to impose their own arbitrary beliefs. It is the ultimate hypocrisy. The liberal dream of a New Man requires strangling the old. That is precisely what this is all about.
