Part of it may be backlash for the way women were portrayed before the 70's, but you're right it's insulting regardless.

"29). Stupid Fathers: Fatherhood is constantly looked upon as either a needless cultural habit or an outright joke. A 2008 study by a fatherhood advocacy group noted that fathers are all too often portrayed negatively on TV sitcoms. And Rebecca Hagelin noted in 2009 that commercials, TV shows, and the media often portray fathers as hateful, uninterested in their families, or not nearly as smart as the kids in the family."

Thank you! I've noticed this trend for the past 10+ years and I'm tired of it. Glad to see someone else is noticing.

Kind of like the main characters on the TV show, “The Americans” are not Americans.

Worse than that. They wanted him as the Manchurian Candidate.

You found an excellent article, free. Thank you.
Me dino even told The Western Journal to start sending stuff.

Everything about Obama was suspect. From the day he became a pol he was a disgusting pile of steaming ____. He became president because he was black and for no other reason. The ultimate reverse discrimination imposed by the socialist press.

I have just one thing to say about one item on the list: "birtherism." I am a "birther." I believe that, to be a natural born citizen of any country, you have to be born in-country to two citizen parents. I consider it a proud and select thing to be a natural born citizen. I am one. I recognize that this means many cannot be natural born citizens of any country, if they were born in one country to citizens or subjects of another. So be it. Emmerich de Vattel defined those who are naturally citizens because they were born that way. John Jay wanted to preclude any foreign influence controlling the government, so he said no one should be President who has any alienage in his background.

Thomas Jefferson got in on the "citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution" clause. They wrote that in so as not to shut him out.

Chester A. Arthur "skated" on the natural born citizen requirement by hiding his Irish parentage.

Obama similarly "skated" by denying that "natural born citizen" needs to be anything but born in-country. His "born in-country" claim is dubious at best, but even if you grant it, his father was a British colonial subject, and that's enough to disqualify him!

We had two competing news papers when I was a kid. The Waterbury Republican and the Waterbury American.
Needless to say, the american...wasn't American.

By the late 50's everything started to take on a "Communist" bent...it would be easy to see these days but it wasn't so apparent in those days unless one read: The Naked Communist; circa: 1958.
