Updated: BAB Letter of the Week By Rick

Barely A Blog, Feminism, Gender, Law

Letter of the Week is a feature I’ll endeavor to keep up on Barely a Blog, depending on reader input. In response to “Run, Little Man, If You Can,” Rick, a long-time reader, shares his agonizing experience:

The “war on fathers” has never addressed the real culprit here: The Family Court System and its unlimited corruption. With the cooperation of the legal and mental health communities, they, daily, separate caring and loving fathers from their precious children. In my case, the mother left with another woman and my child and I were put on therapy. Is this a sick society or what? Furthermore, when I complained to the judge about the therapy, I was put an “anger management,” where they do whatever it takes to turn you into a sissy they can easily manipulate. “False and malicious allegations” is another tool they use frequently to destroy fathers and deny children their right to a loving father.

It’s a very sick society we live in and we want the world to be like us?

Miss Mercer, I am honored to be a weekly recipient of your updates. I’d like to expand on the subject below. It may help someone going through the hoops to eliminate some of the unwanted and unpleasant headaches, like doing your homework before you hire an attorney. It may save you tens of thousands of dollars.
Thanks again, and keep up your great work.

The “War on Fathers” is a subject I personally know very well. As a divorce man and another victim of the Family Courts, the legal and the mental health communities and everybody else in this “boys club,” committed to destroying families. Regarding “false and malicious allegations” against a father, which they bring with the sole purpose of getting the upper hand in custody cases and ruining the father’s life in the process: For 8 long years and after seven very unethical attorneys, I proved my innocence and was able to see my precious daughter once again. Today, she is a very well balanced young lady (let’s hope it stays that way), soon entering high school, a straight-A student and very proud of her daddy.

Last year, for a school project, she wrote an essay on “My Daddy’s Courage”. When I read it, it broke my heart. NO CHILD ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD should ever be exposed to what our precious children are exposed to in America. It’s a sin, a disgrace and we should ALL be ashamed for it. The mother, at the time, was deeply involved with a married woman and moved over two hundred miles away, taking my daughter with her, without a Court Order. Needles to say, her move was later approved by the Courts, without taking into consideration the fact that we had signed a “Joint Custody Agreement” a month earlier. How can a woman inflict so much pain and sorrow on her own flesh and blood is way beyond me. Unfortunately, they do so, with the full cooperation of the Family Courts System, the legal and mental health communities. May God have mercy on us.

Channeling Nazi Haj Amin al-Husseini

Anti-Semitism, Middle East

Alan Keyes is the only commentator to have had the heart and spine to express the existential meaning of the act of suicide bombing. Keyes delivered a magnificent sermon on his MSNBC television show, analyzing the evil that is buried in the heart of someone who can painstakingly—almost lovingly—pack parcels of shrapnel, ball-bearings, nails and rat poison, to lodge in the bodies of Israeli civilians.

The rat poison is a diabolic touch, intended to intensify internal bleeding. Surgeons must slice the victims of these fiendish devices open, picking from the flesh and burrowing in the bone for embedded shards of shrapnel, ball bearings and nails. Survivors are left maimed and wracked with life-long disfigurement and pain.

Keyes was man enough and moral enough to point out that this premeditated evil—supported by a majority of Palestinians—bespeaks the will to exterminate another and creates a deep and dark reality in the human heart.

Shortly after the Sermon on Slaughter by Suicide, Keyes’ program was axed.

Click on the link, “3 days in Israel,” for a rare glimpse of what he meant. Note that the horrible exhibit ends with a stupid exhortation to fight terrorism. As if what faces Jews daily in Israel is the upshot of some amorphous thing called “terrorism,” rather than a specific and finely honed hate.

Palestinian leadership and its followers are channeling Haj Amin al-Husseini, the Nazi Mufti of Jerusalem. Al-Husseini, Arafat’s hero, “supported the Nazis, and especially their program for the mass murder of the Jews. He visited numerous death camps and encouraged Hitler to extend the ‘Final Solution’ to the Jews of North Africa and Palestine.”

Run Little Man, If You Can

Feminism

In my column this week, “Run Little Man, If You Can,� I reveal how feminists, who once aimed to unseat men, are now actively engaged in queering them. This is their position, distilled to its essence:

“In every boy there’s a girl waiting to break free. If boys were only encouraged to get in touch with their Inner Whiner, the problems plaguing them in schools and society at large would likely dissipate.â€?

I never can tell what associations a topic will conjure, but if you want to know how Alexander Portnoy, the antihero of Philip Roth’s eponymous Portnoy’s Complaint, and the cult, 1967 British television series The Prisoner made their way into my column, you had better read it.

Ann On Israel

Israel, Middle East

JewishPress.com Interviewed Ann Coulter:

Jewish Press: What about the planned withdrawal from the West Bank, from which rockets can hit Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Israel’s International Airport?

Ann Coulter: If you start a war and lose, you lose your land. Next.

Such poetic justice would sure serve to curtail aggression. Ann, moreover, is clearly familiar with Nullum crimen sine poena, the imperative in international law to punish the aggressor—an imperative Israel has repeatedly breached together with its own national self-preservation.
