While we listen to the sappy nonsense of liberal politicians on Father's Day, let's not forget that todat there are 12 million, yes that is ten plus one two, good fathers in this land of the free who are denied the right to be participants in the lives of their own children. These men are not convicts, they are not the defaulters of the crushing tax known as 'child support' (which should be actually called 'new boyfriend support'), and they are not those who abandoned their children (as Barack Obama seems to think all absent fathers do). No, these are men whose only fault was to be married to women who one day decided that they needed new fathers for their children, used unilateral no-fault divorce, and got the radicalized family courts to kick out the men from their own homes and the lives of their own children.
And no court will do a darn thing to stop this miscarriage of justice, a miscariage whose astronomical costs include juvenile delinquency, child molestation, teen pregnancy, and educational disasters. Yes, the numbers tell the story: boys without biological fathers at home are secen times more likely to have a brush in with the law, girls six times the national rate of teen pregnancy, and both ten times more likely to underachieve in school. The number one source of child molestation in America? You got it! The unrelated boyfriend or next husband of the woman who lives with her children sired by another man.
You wonder why do the politicans, bureaucrats, and courts do nothing? Are you kidding? Why should they? Child welfare bureaucrats ake money everytime there is a child support order..and hence everytime there is a no-fault divorce. They make even more money if one parent (always the mother) gets full custody. Politicians are too scared to challenge the liberal media or compromise the donations of extremist groups like NOW and Planned Parenthood, whose business is dependent on marginalization of nuclear families. And judges are drawn from the legal fraternity whose very bread and butter is fed by unilateral no faul divorce and full child custody by divorcing women.
With the signal exception of some 12 states, the rest of the country wallows in this state sponsored destruction of families by the same people who, today, will make speeches on the importance of fatherhood. These politicians, and most of them are anatomically men I will grant, do deserve to have their own children and their children's children taken away from them in the same fashion by a family court. Only then will they understand.
The biggest threat to this disgraceful racket of anti-child, anti-father regime are bills that promote a rebuttable presumption shared parenting when parents split. Carefully notice what happens every time such a bill comes up in your legislature. I will bet you a million that you see child welfare bureaucrats, radical feminists, the divorce bar, cowardly Democrats, liberal Republicans, and newspaper editors all opposing it. Of course they will; they know where their bread is buttered.
Every American man, on the verge of blissful matrimony, should keep this in mind. Unless he lives in those 12 states, his wife can simply decide she wants to end the marriage for no reason, kick him out of the house, and, most painful of all, take his children away so that he gets to see them a dozen times a year. All this can happen overnight; it does; and there is nothing in the law in most states to prevent it. Rather, most state judicial system thrive on this sort legal regime. Welcome to Islamic Sharia Law, American style.
