You might call it a relic of the 1950s, a souvenir of the Eisenhower years, back when America had just defeated the Nazis and was faced with the threat of Communism. Those were “Leave It to Beaver,” “Father Knows Best,” “Ozzie and Harriet” days — back when everybody went to church and kids always had a dad with a good job and a mom who stayed at home.

Even so, this animated short is worth a moment of your time. It comes from Beliefnet’s conservative gadfly, Donna Calvin, who writes the Watchwoman on the Wall column. She’s always finding fascinating goodies — although half of her material may infuriate you!
