Divorce

Subject: Divorce

Democrats and Republicans

Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,
Marxists, Obama supporters, et al:

We have stuck together since the late 1950’s, but the whole of this
latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce.
I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future
generations, but sadly, this relationship has run its course. Our two
ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is
right, so let’s just end it on friendly terms. We can smile, slate it up to
irreconcilable differences, and go our own way.

Here is a model dissolution agreement:

Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by landmass each
taking a portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides
can come to a friendly agreement. After that it should be relatively easy!
Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since
both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. We don’t like
redistributive taxes so you can keep them. You are welcome to the
liberal judges and the ACLU.

Since you hate guns and war, we’ll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA
and the military. You can keep Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O’Donnell
(you are however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to
move them).

We’ll keep the capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical
companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. You can have your beloved homeless, homeboys,
hippies, and illegal aliens. We’ll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms,
greedy CEO’s, and rednecks. We’ll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and
Hollywood.

You can make nice with Iran, Palestine, and France and we’ll retain the
right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. You can have the
peaceniks and war protestors. When our allies or way of life are under
assault, we’ll provide them job security.

We’ll keep our Judeo-Christian Values. You are welcome to Islam,
Scientology, Humanism, and Shirley McClaine. You can have the U.N. but
we will no longer be paying the bill. We’ll keep the SUV’s, pickup trucks,
and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Subaru station wagon you can
find.

You can give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing doctors
who will follow to your turf (sic). We’ll continue to believe healthcare
is a luxury and not a right.

We’ll keep The Battle Hymn of the Republic and The National Anthem. I’m
sure you’ll be happy to substitute Imagine, I’d Like to Teach the World to
Sing, Kum Ba Ya or We Are the World.

We’ll practice trickle down economics and you can give trickle up
poverty its best shot.

Since it often so offends you we’ll keep our History, our Name, and our
Flag.

Would you agree to this? If so please pass it along to other likeminded
patriots and if you do not agree just hit delete and hang on.

In the spirit of friendly parting, I’ll bet you ANWAR on who will need
whose help in 15 years.

Sincerely,

John J. Wall
Law Student and an American

P.S. Please take Barbara Streisand.

Discrimination

According to the latest census information calculated by Dr. Warren Farrell who authored a new book on gender discrimination, women are 10 times more likely to commit suicide after the death of their spouse.  In fact there are a number of factoids you should commit to memory for future reference when bills come up to be voted on.  Here are a few of them:

Women’s health gets almost no funding while men’s health issues are documented and studies are funded by tax dollars.
Women are blamed for nearly 100% of violence between men and women when the truth is violence is initiated equally by men and women.
Women die on average 10 to 1 earlier than men.
Girls are scoring behind boys in school in every single area of study except science and math.
Girls represent 90% of the dropout rate in high school.
The graduation rates are typically 44% girls and 56% boys.
Girls are 1 1/2 years behind boys in reading skills, verbal skills, writing skills.
Girls are over 90% of the discipline problems.
Girls are more likely to be diagnosed ADD.
For the last forty years there’s been more medical research done on women than on men but that has changed.
There is no women’s health department in any of the 50 states.

Are you outraged yet?  No?  Why, have I got my facts wrong?  What’s wrong with my facts?  Surely you’ve noticed at least one or two are not what you’ve heard.  In truth, I have everyone of these facts exactly, perfectly wrong.  To correct them, all you have to do is swap male for female and vice versa..

Now are you outraged?  I have limited the information thus far so I could have you compare the gender bias against men.  Here are some more factoids:

More than 100 studies, most of them done by feminist organizations have observed that men and women initiate domestic violence equally as often.
Men do not report their injuries or make hospital visits almost to a man if they were obtained through the violence of their spouse.
Men die of 14 of the 15 leading causes of death earlier than women.
The excuse for ignoring this disparity is because they say that men induce their own problems.  (blame the victim)
Men over 85 are 10 times more likely to commit suicide than women over 85 after the death of their spouse.
Men over 85 are 10 times more likely to die than women over 85 if their spouse divorces them or leaves.

We have to understand that every society in history that has survived, have trained their boys to be dispensable.  “Women Can’t Hear What Men Won’t Say”  is one of 6 books Dr. Warren Farrell authored on gender bias.
Marriage Divorce and Child Custody.  During the major successes of the feminist movement, women were saying that men do not have any more right to jobs than do women.  At the same time, when it came to divorce and child custody they were saying that women should have the right to decide who will retain custody of the children.  Okay, so the issue isn’t what’s right for women or men.  The issue is what’s best for the child.  Well, hold on to your hats.  Dr. Farrell did research which led to the book, Father and Child Reunion, and found that what’s best for children is for both parents to be equally involved in the child’s life in a way that doesn’t force the child to leave friends and neighborhood to do time with the other parent and that there is no bad mouthing from mom to dad or dad to mom.  Barring the perfect arrangement, he found that in many national databases recording the conditions of parent/child relationships and the consequential outcomes of their children, the children of single dads do better than children of single moms from about 20 of 26 measures and about equal in another five measures.  It comes down to the boundary enforcement that dads do that really benefit children socially, academically, psychologically, and actually having better physical health as well.

Loving emotion is important, nobody denies that, but the feminization of our culture has resulted in the harm of our culture.  The elimination of boundaries and the softening of rules has done more to sicken our culture than any amount of spinning can cover.  Assuming that women are the ones who know better what is good for the child or that they are even willing or able to make this the sole reason for their consideration in the height of a divorce is profoundly foolish.  Yet this is exactly what the judges, sociologists, and society in general have done.  Suppose for a moment, sociologists, judges and society at large said of the medical profession, “We have to give doctors the option of whether women should be allowed to practice medicine.”  After all, doctors are the ones who would know.  Doesn’t work very well for the ethics of professionalism, why should it work for the ethics of parenting?

I am not a parent, but I watched my brother go through this discrimination and literally lose his child because his mother insisted on moving half way across the country.  Granted, my brother was no joy to have as an ex-husband, but discrimination is discrimination.  And men are suffering far more of it these days than are women.  My nephew is now an adult making his own way through life, but I’ve learned through discussions with my brother that they both regret missing much of their relationship.  (From about 7 years old except summer visits for a few weeks.)  Thank God the boy had a steady man to demonstrate boundaries and discipline so he is a capable, even successful young man entering the police services, but what could have been was entirely taken out of my brother’s hands.
