Dr. Stephen Baskerville, Ph.D., author of Taken Into Custody, was in Okemos Michigan recently and spoke at the Battle of Ideas which is produced by John Mangopoulos. John produces an incredible show!
In the video below Murray B. Davis, President of the National Family Justice Association, asks a question to Dr. Stephen Baskerville about the 2008 Presidential Election and the potential effects on families. Keep this in mind about Barack Obama, which is not mentioned in the video below. Barack Obama is the main sponsor for the Responsible Fatherhood Act and the contents of this bill makes it clear that Barack Obama is not good for fathers in America. In this bill he mentions child support 65 times, but NOT ONCE does he mention parenting time, custody, visitation, or access denial. There is much more to being a father than just paying your child support! All this bill does is further stereotype all fathers as deadbeats. Phyllis Schlafly discusses this. Honestly, I am not thrilled over either one of our choices this year for President.
If you have not purchased a copy of Taken Into Custody, please do so now and you will have something eye-opening to read. This is one of the best researched books I have read in a long time and includes over 47 pages of research reference notes. Here is the Amazon.com description of Taken Into Custody:
Why is the American family in crisis? Taken Into Custody argues that the most direct cause is the divorce industry: a government-run system that tears apart families, separates children from fit and loving parents, confiscates the wealth of families, and turns law-abiding citizens into criminals in ways they are powerless to avoid.
Taken Into Custody explores:
Why the "deadbeat dad" is not only a myth but a hoax, the creation of government officials and lawyers who plunder parents whose children they have taken away.
How hysterical propaganda about domestic violence is destroying families, endangering children, and making criminals of innocent parents.
The real causes of child abuse and how the abuse industry willfully ignores them
What drives the rash of "parental kidnappings".
How family courts operate as if there is no Bill of Rights, denying parents their constitutional legal protections
Taken Into Custody exposes the greatest and most destructive civil rights abuse in America today. Family courts and Soviet-style bureaucracies trample basic civil liberties, entering homes uninvited and taking away people's children at will, then throwing the parents into jail without any form of due process, much less a trial. No parent, no child, no family in America is safe.
It is worth noting, in addition to Dr. Baskerville's comments about the Responsible Fatherhood Act, Obama and Biden's involvement with the Child Support Defense Bill.
Not mentioned was the 2008 GOP effort that lead to the Child Support Collection Fee being assessed upon Custodial Parents. NFI had Republicans as founders. The GOP has fought ERA, VAWA, Women's Choice, there is actually a bit of history to the GOP's defense of Fathers and Children that we sometimes overlook.
It is all well and fine to offer protest votes, sort of like farting in church, a little notice perhaps.
Biden authored VAWA, Obama supported VAWA, Responsible Fatherhood Act and the Child Support Defense Bill.
Republicans can change things only to the extent that they have popular support we have worked for awhile to work with conservative elected leaders most Republican some Democratic, some others with out a snow balls chance of winning.
It may be most prudent to insure Obama and Biden are not given free reign to expand VAWA, Responsible Fatherhood Act and Defense of Child Support. As has been said we need the government out of our bedrooms, out of our families: which is exactly where Biden and Obama wish to be.
It is also worth noting, there are GOPers withn the current adminsitration working on our behalf. Duluth, as a therapy for domestic violence perptration now has received four adverse comments from the ascieintific community which has been enough for DOJ to recommend Duluth is ineffective. Pressure has been brought to bear upon Minnesota Development which has redacted its call to "abolish patriarcy and establish an eqaulitarian society. The Founding Fathers Project was fairly impotent, June 2008. The complexity and depth of radical feminism has been delineated before us for awhile. VAWA, Duluth, Minnesota, Funding Fathers, YWCA, United Way et al. There are conservatives at work to restore a child's right to their fathers. It was conservatives who established and continue to establish the empirical evidence that diminish the effectiveness of radical feminist diatribe. Should we all work together shoulder to shoulder, as Hoogendyke has done with us for years: we can accomplish even more.
Can we elect Jacob Hoogendyke as Michigan's United States Senator and avoid Biden-Obama with McCain-Palin?
Just as we impotently debated first Klein and then Paul, we need now to potently work to elect our best choices of the viable candidates.
