Obama/Biden: Escalating the War on Fathers and Families

Obama/Biden: Escalating the War on Fathers and Families
Men's News Daily - Guerneville,CA,USA

Tragically — but true to the radical feminist agenda — the Obama/Biden Democratic ticket portends an escalating war on boys, men, fathers, and families. On Father’s Day 2008, Sen. Obama could have spoken on any number of topics. His choice was to castigate African-American fathers and blame fathers, and fathers alone, for the ills of the African-American family.
He called upon African-American fathers to be more involved in their children’s lives (certainly a worthwhile call) but he also castigated them for failing to endorse “responsible fatherhood” which essentially means signing up for 18 years of overly highly calculated child support. Economists understand, but Sen. Obama ideologically overlooks, the reality that child support currently is calculated at a level far above what the majority of fathers — including poor and unemployed fathers — actually are capable of paying or that children require (see W. S. Comanor, The law and economics of child support payments, 2004).
So, what then does Sen. Biden bring to the ticket? Sen. Biden brings the divisive Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) which he originated, expanded, and vigorously supported in subsequent years. Unfortunately, substantial evidence now indicates that VAWA not only fails to protect women from domestic violence but in many cases increases their risk of harm and contains much fraud. What VAWA does best, however, is squander billions of taxpayer dollars annually to finance the war on fathers and families.
As promoted by divorce lawyers (see The American Bar Association’s position on Domestic Violence at www.mediaradar.org) and domestic violence shelter operators, mothers are advised that the surest path to fortune and child custody is to obtain a restraining order through VAWA by telling a judge that they are “afraid” of their husband. No physical evidence of violence or abuse is required, only her claim of “fear.” Based on this “evidence,” judges routinely and immediately grant ex-parte temporary restraining orders against husbands.
With the restraining order in hand, Sen. Biden’s VAWA removes the father from his home at any hour of the day or night, separates him from his children, requires him to stay away from his wife, and immediately orders him to begin paying child support to his wife based only on her self-reported “fear.” VAWA explicitly denies the father his Constitutionally guaranteed due process protections. Children explicitly are denied the love and companionship of fit fathers. In short, the feminist objective of destroying family life is achieved and the only real beneficiaries are the lawyers.
While Sen. Biden’s contribution to the war on fathers and families is clear, much remains to be learned about Sen. Obama and his attitudes towards fathers and families. The problem is that Sen. Obama’s book Dreams from My Father and material emanating in the media and on the web differ very substantially from one another.
In closing, and of critical importance for the balance of the presidential race, it must be noted that “change” was the seminal issue which propelled Sen. Obama from obscurity to the Democratic Nomination. Is it then not fair to ask– after three decades in the Senate — where voters are going to find “change” in Sen. Biden? And, above all else, what does Obama’s selection of Sen. Biden portend for his future appointments and the future of the American family?

Does this man teach our young???

Why do people with Ph.D's get away with so much?

First question: Why did he choose this man instead of Hillary?

Second question: Is Sen. Biden a humanist? Is that why he started VAWA? If not, why?

Third question; What does the black community say? What does the Indian community say?

Obama is black and Indian (through his mothers side) which means he is for the underdog in society. I say underdog because their problems are far different from the white man and far worse.

These men are not paying CS as the rich white man. Their day in the FC is not the same either.

..........

This is like a European making a statement on a Maori. They are too totally different men in society.

this of course is outta the Soviet handbook on managing star chambers

along with in camera Family Courts and Acts Like VAWA and IMBRA

it begs the question is it the USA or the USSA that men are living in

"""..Why do people with Ph.D's get away with so much?..."""

because most folk believe that book learning trumps hard lived through experience

but book learning may be used as a front to perpetrate a giant fraud

what a horrible tandam Obama and Hillary would have made
he full of Pinko spiel and her dodging virtual sniper fire in her empty head planning a nuclear strike against Iran

You come out with such wisdom sometimes. I love it.

I helped a man yesterday as a woman.

Not sure if you get that but I had a wonderful day. No, not sexual, just in case you are thinking. He had been in a really bad car accident.

Anyhow, we got talking and relating.

My, God, he was a Mr Asia. A drug runner from Taiwan. Yes, I could connect the people.

If only I had the gift of writing.

.........

But what is a Ph.D? A brainwashed person?

**julie** · 25th-August-2008

A bit shocked.

Visited Obama's site and I see he can come visit groups to answer questions.

I guess America is too big for a men's group to organise something. What a shame. Maybe next elections.

BTW, NZ isn't any better organised although the politicians are begging for meetings. lol

Yes, I guess he does, Jools. And from what he says he just might be one of the just and good that escapes defenestration.

What is your problem with what he is saying?

As I see it he is highly and rightly critical of both Obama and Biden.

And he selected neither.

And he selected neither.

I love him now. I too don't want to select.

I would rather love everyone or hate everyone. So simple.

.....

But seriously. I don't know why I care what he says. It isn't even my country.

I would like for some of the MRM guys and the mentor I have to not care what I write either. Maybe I am a bit jealous that he can rave on and not have to research. If I had a Ph.D, I suppose I could say whatever I wanted and get away with it also.

..........

Sorry for raving on Percy.

Marx ... damn Marx, I am going to get him!!!! (kidding, no real threat here)

He is putting questions from Yahoo on here and I followed one to answer it. Then it said, "You are on a roll. Answer another".

Crickeys, there are so many questions coming out about gender. I couldn't help but give some worthwhile info. They really need it.

But I wish I hadn't started.
