Republican Revolution or Men's Revolt?
The case of Jeff Milton stirs reaction...
"When we separated 6 years ago, the NY family court magistrate concluded that because I made $130,000 that year, this was my earning potential regardless of any other economic or market variables...."
The above goes to the absolute unconstitutionality of child support orders as they are currently made. They are essentially not modifiable. Billions in federal funding steer the child support process to procedurally deny men due process and treat them as if they could pull money out of thin air, regardless of external influences such as market conditions, the economy, one's own health, and education requirements imposed by employers.
Political Analysis to Republicans:
Male voters supported Republicans since 1996 in large numbers, partially because their social rights had been trampled by Democrats for 30 years. The Republican "Contract For America" suggested that Republicans were interested in reforming predatory divorce and welfare. But Republicans have not lifted a finger -- in fact they have gone the wrong direction. PROWA merely took what they used to call "welfare" and moved it into a different accounting column called "Advances on Child Support". Exploding welfare spending was magically converted into an exploding child support arrearages statistic. Any Republican who thinks the PROWA actually accomplished anything tangibly positive is either a liar or an idiot.
Republicans can no longer count on the male vote. After a decade of abuse by Republicans, many men are beginning to look elsewhere. Obviously, Democrats are not any better than Republicans. I predict we will see many men looking very hard at third-party candidates. This means that Republicans can no longer count on third-party candidates watering down the Democratic vote. In coming election cycles, it will hurt Republicans and most likly put Democrats back in power.
Men are becoming extremely interested in social issues and equal rights to be in the family, as are second wives. Nobody is yet attending to them. This is a tremendous block of votes that is entirely up for grabs.
I worked very hard to help the Republican Revolution -- expecting they would do what they said they would. They failed miserably. There are a few Republicans and Republican Organizations who are on the ball, but the mainstream of the party (including publications such as TownHall, FrontPageMag, WorldNetDaily, NRO, and Human Events) refuse to acknowledge or publish anything other than useless tomes complaining about father-absence.
Why Republicans have not worked on this is beyond all political reasoning. The politics of being pro-marriage and pro-family are bright from all sides of the coin (I'm not going to elaborate here).
As for Mr. Milton, He can stage protests in front of the courthouse with a fathers' group, second wife, and his parents or relatives. Flyers should name Marianne Mizel and any other judges who have failed to handle this case in an appropriate and lawful manner as being one of "New York's Most Antifamily Judges" -- thus forcing a rehearing (child support is always modifiable -- despite what they say).
He might also seek sanctuary within the Catholic Church. This is technically possible, however, it would take a courageous and determined priest to take on the state and Federal Government. In fact, we might not see reforms until the Catholic Church takes up this long-overdue issue that is driving divorce, illegitimacy, and destroying religion. One major reason why Churches have poor membership in Western cultures is they no longer take strong stands on issues of import -- or exercise their own Biblical calling. Rather, they meekly acquiesce to feminist secular humanism and wonder why they are being sued because gay secular humanists (who could not care less about heterosexual marriage principles) turned the church into a dark-ages den for child sexual abuse.
Mr. Milton's other options are not good. Robbing a bank is a bad idea -- but this is basically what the New Mafioso are blackmailing him to do -- and some men in this situation actually do this. Suicide is another way out, and I spend lots of time on the phone keeping good men from doing this to themselves.
Many men have left this country, never to return. When one has had their family, assets, and income completely stripped for no reason whatsoever, and one is faced with extended time in a political debtor's prison being gang-raped, one sometimes chooses freedom. Yes, there are countries that know what is going on in America -- and they do not cooperate with America's Maoist approach to family and marriage.
It is disgusting that we do this in America, while mainstream Republicans (the party of equality that brought about the 19th Amendment) does nothing but egg it on.
America may be the greatest county on earth in some regards, but we are the worst in others. China and Cuba socialized their economies, and their economies were devastated. China is well on the way to leaving this behind. In America, we socialized the family, and our families are devastated. We have not yet begun the journey towards ending the horrid abuses of human rights that Mr. Milton has borne with such candor and courage.

Excellent!
I will be copying this column and emailing it to each of the publications listed here (e.g., Townhall.com, etc.) and adding a line that says I will not send one penny to them for any of their fund drives until the day arrives that they become a bull horn for the rights of men and fathers in this country.
Good blog! I'm blogrolling this one!
Awesome! Let's roll!
"...but the mainstream of the party (including publications such as TownHall, FrontPageMag, WorldNetDaily, NRO, and Human Events) refuse to acknowledge or publish anything other than useless tomes complaining about father-absence."
They do worse than ignore it. Both NRO and Frontpagemag.com have posted articles by radical feminist, Woman's studies professor Donna Hughes. Her mission is to equate human sex trafficking (A problem that the feminists are currently trying to blow out of proportion.) with international marriage agencies. The idea being to limit the choice increasing numbers of American men have exercised to marry foreign women.
"We must now grant to fathers the same right to be in the family as we have granted to women in the workplace".
Mr Usher, that is an outstanding slogan. It is short and memorable which is one the preconditions for a good slogan. (Tax cuts for the rich and no blood for oil are also good slogans, for example.)
I have been thinking the same way you have for awhile. The GOP needs a kick in the pants. Men overwhelming support them and they need to start to represent men's issues. One idea I have had which I plan on implementing when I return to the US is to start a PAC or 527. My model would be Emily's list and the Club for Growth. Both groups ask members to write checks to specific legislators who stand for their issues. The group then hands over those checks all at once at strategic times to the candidate. The candidate then knows that that particular group supports him and is watching his voting record. Also,what this does is gives money to candidates who challenge legislators who are working against us in primaries where turnout is low and we have the greatest chance of influencing the election.
Can you imagine the effect of knocking off 50 to 100 of the worst feminist state legislators in the country? It would have a ripple effect across the nation because those people would no longer be in power and would no longer be proposing legislation or trying to block pro-MR legislation.
I would simply add that because male voters have generally accepted all forms of abuse by government, those in power see no reason to treat men as humans with inalienable rights. But things have become so bad for men, especially related to their children, that they have finally had enough. Men are increasingly taking a stand whether it is considered unmanly or politicallly incorrect or not.
However, to this day we still hear cries of female under-representation among legislators, all the while few or none actually represent men, and in fact we have male feminazis such as that Senator notorious for plagiarism. Its pretty simple-minded to think that a given legislator will only look out for his or her gender, race, religion, or whatever group one identifies. In fact, its considered good politics to discriminate against one's own identity group.
Can anybody name one male politician on a national level that has done anything for men in the last 30 years, even including taking a stand simply to preserve one of the scant few rights men retain?
