Man Up

Restoring our 90-year-old ranch house has been a demanding 14-month project, but the end is near. In mid-January, a gust of wind blew me from the second story roof to the first story to the driveway thereby fracturing my femur. My leg was pinned and screwed, and I was walking within 24 hours, but complete recovery will take time. On the bright side, tackling this project meant spending 56 weekends working alongside the four of my grandkids who will be moving into our family homestead on Pass Creek when we are finished.

Liam, the 11-year-old, and Henry who is nine, are now accomplished skid steer operators eager to attack anything needing skid steered plus things not needing skid steered. For example, most of last year’s snow around the barnyard never melted, it was plowed, plowed and re-plowed until it just wore out and left on its own. Their enthusiasm is impressive.

Last weekend, we were pouring concrete for post supports and this required hand mixing 80-pound bags of concrete in a wheelbarrow. I knew involving family in this project was fitting and proper when I heard six-year-old Conor arguing with Nora, his seven-year-old sister, that it was his turn to mix the concrete. Apparently, after shoveling hundreds of pounds of bat guano from the attic, hand mixing concrete in the driveway is a dream job. My grandkids will remain blind to their white privilege until social science classes in college teach them to hate America.

Contrary to the wealthy, white, socialists who coined this racist term, white privilege has nothing to do with the color of one’s skin. Rather, it is a degrading term city people use to diminish the value of country folk who embrace manual labor. To the elitists, cleaning toilets, shoveling concrete, building houses, pulling calves, irrigating sugar beets and combining wheat is the menial work of the little people. To the contrary, introducing your young children and grandchildren to the great equalizer of hard work foils the socialist’s attempt to shape them into sheep. Parents must get involved.

Moms for Liberty and Moms on a Mission are telling the elites to get their hands off the American children. The momma bears are furious government schools are sexualizing impressionable small children when they are at the age where they should be shoveling concrete. This brings me to my point. Where are the dads? There should be a take-no-prisoners Dads for Liberty group. There isn’t because half the dads are Democrats who are so feminized, they are practically lactating. Lose the man-bun and skinny jeans because it is time to man-up and raise your families rather than letting government head your household.
