Who won Tuesday's presidential debate?


Hey, Dad—would you like to ensure that your daughter becomes an inept, stressed out, unconfident young woman who hates her body, gets easily depressed, has no self-esteem and who will probably have critical weight problems?

Would you also like to seriously up the odds that she’ll bail out of school before graduation? What about increasing the likelihood that she’ll bow and kiss the ring of some stupid and abusive boyfriend or husband?

What about making certain that she’ll flaunt herself to get the attention of some Darwinian throwback, gold-toothed, rapping, Murphy’s-Law-personified thug so that she can be the chief hoochie in his up and coming booty video?

Or . . . or . . . would you like to greatly increase the odds that she’ll become a teenage sexual beastess, who (obviously) will have a better shot at becoming an STD wagon or a pregnant teen, who will then (in all probability) do a lot dope and drink booze like Ted Kennedy?

You would?

Well, then I’ve got some advice for you: You must detach from your daughter (like, right now), stay away from your home and let her know (by your actions, showing her no, or minimal affection) that you don’t really care about her life.

You must not, I’m talkin’ under no circumstances whatsoever (at least not for any extended period of time), cherish, coach or guard your darling.

This lack of mental, physical and spiritual input from you, Daddy-O, will exponentially boost the odds that your young daughter will grow up to be more lost than Jenna Jameson sitting in on a Reformed Presbyterian symposium discussing the differences between supralapsarianism and infralapsarianism.

Conversely, if you do not wish an Anna Nicole existence upon your daughter and would instead like to raise a sharp, solid and smart senorita, then you, Father, must get off your beer-enlarged butt and get caught up in your chica’s life.

Listen, mentally-challenged man, your lady cannot raise your daughter alone—and even if she could, she doesn’t bring to the table that which a masculine man does. Period. I don’t care what any splooge-brain sociology teacher at Columbia says or what rancid Rosie propagates. Single moms (as great as some of them are), and/or a couple of lesbians (no matter how mannish they look and act) do not afford that which an involved, non-metrosexual father does.

Raising girls that rock isn’t rocket science. So relax, Dad. You don’t have to start watching Oprah, Rachel Ray or the Bravo Channel in order to assist your girl. Simply let loose your natural, masculine instincts in their provisional and protective qualities on your little lady. Continued...

Subject: 10? Don't ya think that's a little late?
By 10 I was shooting combat with the SouthWest Pistol League under Jeff Cooper. Had to use a custom 4" Colt Detective Special - my hands were too small for a S&W K frame, and the J frame only held 5 rounds.

My daughter turns 3 next week. I'm picking up her first rifle tomorow. Single shot bolt action 22, iron sites. A box of BB caps and knock down steel targets meant for an air rifle. It will be well tethered and we'll be shooting at a range of 10 yards. Heck, she's been in Karate class for a year.

Nicely done, Doug!
I'm just glad I got the missus into shooting with me. Before we started going to the range together, her attitude was along the lines of "not a chance, you death-dealing killer!" But, once I got her to go to the range and get her comfortable with a nice .22, she's quite comfortable shooting. Now, I'm more than confident that she could back me up if needed.

BTW, women who shoot have a confidence and self assurance that is mostly lacking in many women these days. Just IMHO...
