"Hello, Muddah, Hello, Fadder" Becomes "Hello, Parent One, Hello, Parent Two," Etc

"Hello, Muddah, Hello, Fadder" Becomes "Hello, Parent One, Hello, Parent Two," Etc.

If the late comedian Allan Sherman went to Camp Grenada today, he could still write home to his “muddah” and “fadder” but if he went overseas his passport wouldn’t refer to his mother and father but rather to his ”Parent One” and “Parent Two.”

Such is the state of things in Obamaland 2011.

It’s all very explicable, however. “A statement on the State Department website noted: ‘These improvements [sic] are being made to provide a gender neutral description of a child’s parents and in recognition of different types of families.”

State Dept. spokesman spokeswoman spokesperson Brenda Sprague hastened to clear up any misconceptions over the change saying that, “the decision to remove the traditional parenting names was not an act of political correctness,” as if any fool would think that!

“We find, Sprague said, ”that with changes in medical science and reproductive technology that we are confronting situations now that we would not have anticipated 10 or 15 years ago.”

Or even two years ago, pre-Obama.

Understandably, although there has been no Islamic reaction, conservative Christians are repulsed at the change and ”Gay rights groups are applauding the decision:” http://tiny.cc/bfv7p No comments have yet been made public by other liberal groups. Animal rights advocates who have long felt that orangutans, et al. were people, too, and vegetation rights advocates who favor full rights of citizenship for plants and shrubs have remained silent.

Ridiculous? Absurd? Nuts? What, that animal rights and vegetation silliness or the Obama State Department silliness, and VERY PC passport change? Or, all of the above?

Our Obamian State Department may have earned the Absurdity of the Month Award but there are other contenders hot on its tail.

Inspired, motivated, and pressured by the same agitators who won that passport gender neutrality change, the most powerful agitators in America, the homosexual lobby, agitated in the former “Live Free or Die” state of New Hampshire. Its new motto may some day become, ”Free Sex But No Candy for You!" . . .
