Donald Tenn is a California father who says he “had to take action” for his young daughter Madison.  He started his fourth day this morning on a wet construction crane in Columbus Ohio alone. Last night police warned of thunderstorms.  John Fowler, national coordinator for Fathers 4 Justice was able to talk activist father Paul Fisher down.

Tenn refused.  “I have nothing to lose”, he said through a walkie-talkie.  Earlier he told me, “I’ve followed the law, been bounced back and forth between states, and been falsely accused of domestic violence.  I finally won visitation in Illinois.  The judge even reprimanded her mother.  I had one visit.  That’s it.  She’s able to use services funded by the Violence Against Women Act to illegally keep me from my daughter.”

Until Madison’s mother illegally abducted her to Illinois, Tenn was her stay-at-home parent. It’s Madison he worries about, not himself.   He says she’s being hurt by the family court system and he has to protect her.  A member of Fathers 4 Justice, the gender-neutral civil rights group fighting for equal parental rights, he says he won’t come down until Governor Schwarzenegger agrees to a nonpartisan investigation into the family court system.  Calls to the Governor’s office have yet to be returned.

Tenn’s Sacramento phone rings off the hook at all hours of the day.  Friends say he always makes time to listen to parents trying to avoid or recover from the devastation of losing contact with their children.  When he isn’t grieving for his own little girl Madison, he says, his heart aches for the thousands of other parents he knows who are experiencing the same thing.

Tenn has been sending Madison packages in the mail about 3 times a week.  “I’ve probably sent over 300 packages so far,” he told me recently, “they include books, healthy snacks, small toys and stickers.  She loves stickers”

When asked if he wants to keep Madison away from her mother when this is resolved, he says, “no.”  “I’ve always wanted equal custody, equal parenting and equal responsibility, for each of us.”  Asked if his case was unique he replied,”I’ve traveled the country talking to other parents.  And what I hear all the time, from mothers and fathers, is that they want equal parental rights, equal physical and legal custody.”

Some political victories are through and through, red, white and blue, achievements that merit our applause, praise, and thanks to God.

Others are illusions, frauds, and, not infrequently, ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing that also bring men to their knees … in search of mercy.

As to the late “victory for liberty” in California for-in-behalf of a new sort of minority that deludes itself into believing it liberating, moral, and wise, to impose, by fiat, same-sex marriage on the great majority who believe it enslaving, immoral, and absurd – such a victory, left unchecked, is worst case.

Sometimes the truth hurts, but the predictable, historical, end game of imposing liberty via big brother socialism – and it is the worldwide socialist revolution that has long been homosexuality’s pot stirrer in chief – is one that every, “victim,” victim’s advocacy group, and enter-stage-left holy-cause-of-the-moment, needs to know and remember:

Namely, big brother’s “Uncle Joe” mission to feed, clothe, hire and favor you and yours (same-sex couples, for instance), over them and theirs (families that uphold marriage as the Law of Nature and Nature’s God intended), has a useful idiot’s reward at the end of the trail.

A battered and bruised, beaten and broken, brothers at last! – equality . . . with them and theirs – courtesy of the “forever stomping” jackboot you helped fashion.

Ironic, isn’t it?

And once acquired, dare you object, dare raise so much as a peep about promises made vs. promises kept, then from the heel of the boot to the gulag you go, or else, to the guillotine, the gas chamber, the ten gun salute (sort of), and a fit burial for a “rat” like you, your “pitiful” remains dumped into an unmarked grave, in an unkempt cemetery, with no forwarding address, and no one left behind brave enough to care.

Better dead than red. Somebody should have coined that phrase. It would have been more honest.

Just ask Nikolai Bukharin, one of the leading Bolshevik “theorists” that promised every Russian “victim” heaven on earth in the early 1900s, only to deliver hell, hell, and then more of it – an end game Bukharin knew was in the cards from day one.

It was in 1917, right after he and his fellow communists first came to power, when theorist Bukharin decided to unload the brutal truth buried beneath the theory:

We asked for freedom of the press, thought, and civil liberties in the past because we were in the opposition and needed these liberties to conquer. Now that we have conquered, there is no longer any need for such civil liberties.

That must have turned a few gullible heads … and stomachs.

No big deal for Bukharin. He was one of the “theorists” in charge, and to the victors go the spoils, and the guarantees of security from the wrath of his fellow “theorists” and “liberators.”

Besides, his Communist credentials were impeccable.

Born Oct. 9, 1888, to two primary teachers, 18-year-old smart guy, Nikolai Ivanovich Bukharin, knew a path to power when he saw it, hitched a ride on that hot head of steam, the Bolshevik Express, and quickly learned everything he needed to know about communism, including the craft of cloaking a criminal conspiracy as a cure-all for every human ill. So adept was he at learning this craft, that a year later he co-organized the National Youth Conference (the predecessor of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League or Komsomol), where 14-28-year-olds were indoctrinated in Ccmmunist dogma and politics.

By age 20, he was a member of the Moscow Committee of the Bolshevik Party, and by age twenty-three he was arrested and exiled for putting his “theory” into practice.

This setback didn’t hinder Bukharin’s meteoric rise as a theorist. In exile, he penned several books, edited the newspaper Novy Mir (New World) with Leon Trotsky and Alexandra Kollontai, and during World War I, published a book on imperialism that won Vladimir Lenin’s praise, who incorporated it into his more famous “Imperialism-The Highest Stage of Capitalism.”

With the violent overthrow of the Tsar a done deal (1917), twenty-nine year old Nikolai Bukharin returned home and launched into a decade that would see him “elected” to the Central Committee of the Communist Party, “elected” to the Politburo, made editor of its official newspaper, Pravda (The Truth), during which time he also co-authored the 138 chapter tomb, “The ABC of Communism” (1920), authored “Socialism In One Country” (1924) – a theory that became Stalin’s theme – and, finally, won an appointment as President of the Communist International (Comintern), that is, conspirator in chief of the worldwide communist revolution (1926), at age 38.

In sum, Nikolai Bukharin is probably the most famous Communist you never heard of.

And here’s why: Consider again Bukharin’s 1917 confession: “We asked for freedom of the press, thought, and civil liberties in the past because we were in the opposition and needed these liberties to conquer. Now that we have conquered, there is no longer any need for such civil liberties.”

In 1928, he turned a deaf ear to his own stark warning, one that applied not only to every exploited fool of a “victim” who thought victory was theirs, but to every victor, even the big shots. For it was in 1928 that his old chum, “liberator” Joseph Stalin proposed to collectivize the economy and put away Lenin’s National Economic Plan, a more fascist/”middle-ground” approach to socialism.

Bukharin believed collectivization would impoverish the peasants, inspire resentment, and lower productivity. He freely pressed his views in the Politburo, the party Congress, and among a small circle of friends. Surely, his objections would be viewed, as they always had been, in defense of the Revolution.

He was wrong. Uncle Joe Stalin accused him of being a capitalist, compelled him to renounce his views, forced him to resign as President of the Comintern, and ordered him to get out of the Politburo. In March of 1838, he was tried in The Trial of The Twenty-One, executed, and had his name and honor expunged from the books of the revolution he helped pen.

This is not the exception, but the rule for the revolution left. It stands as a warning to all who look to butchers, bullies, or socialist-leaning judges, to grant an advantage to you and yours via means that tyrannize them and theirs, to beware the end game.

A victory in California? I think not. I call it an illusion, a fraud, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
