Rachel Alexander’s Father’s day post

I learned many years ago while being a member of West Valley Orators Toastmasters Club to listen to opposing viewpoints. I actually very much enjoyed debate and the viewpoint of others. Thats why I read Liberal blogs, Feminist blogs, etc.

I have been reading Intellectual Conservative for several years. This Father’s Day Rachel Alexander whose Family is intimately involved in the blog wrote about the recent death of her Brother from Leukemia. And how the Child Support battle with his ex wife and the stress of Parental Alienation cut his life short. He was worn out trying to have access to his Daughter.

Rachel is very and profoundly saddened by this death of her Older Brother. You can go to the site and read her tribute to her Brother. Many years ago while a Young Man. With a young Family. I met a member of My Church at the time in California. Who suffered from Lupus. Who was a good Man, a Mechanic who worked at home as his energy permitted. He did Car Repairs off the books for Cash.

He was Divorced a Father, whose health issues caused his Wife to Divorce him. Milo was not Movie Star handsome. But he was kind, decent, generous and an overall Nice Guy. A few months after he did some work for us on our cars. We heard from his Family that he had died due to complications of his Lupus.

I have known many Men. Who were very deeply emotionally hurt by their separation from their Children. When ex Wives were reasonable everyone including their Children benefitted. I just don’t understand the motives some Women have to deliberately damage their Ex Spouses and Children by interfering in the relationship between Father and Child.

This happens to Women too who do not have custody. It cuts both ways. This is one of my prime arguements for Joint Custody. And for ending the Adversarial Process of Divorce and going to a mediation mechanism for settling Divorces. Less money and more assets preserved for the benefit of the family.

To Rachel Alexander and the Alexander Family. My condolences on the loss of your Brother, Son and his early death. Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo

How To Rob The Treasury For Bonuses

You have to love Goldman Sachs:

Staff at Goldman Sachs staff can look forward to the biggest bonus payouts in the firm’s 140-year history after a spectacular first half of the year, sparking concern that the big investment banks which survived the credit crunch will derail financial regulation reforms.

A lack of competition and a surge in revenues from trading foreign currency, bonds and fixed-income products has sent profits at Goldman Sachs soaring, according to insiders at the firm.

Nothing like a little taxpayer money funneled through AIG to add to the pool, right?

In April, Goldman said it would set aside half of its £1.2bn first-quarter profit to reward staff, much of it in bonuses. It is believed to have paid 973 bankers $1m or more last year, while this year’s payouts are on track to be the highest for most of the bank’s 28,000 staff, including about 5,400 in London.

Let’s remember that Goldman got roughly $10 billion in AIG-funneled money to “settle” CDS that their CEO said was a fully-hedged position and which would have had no material impact if AIG had gone down, mostly because they had collected nearly all of the hedge before AIG got in serious trouble.

That is, they got paid twice – once with their hedge (good move guys) and again by government fiat, directed by Henry Paulson who coincidentally used to run Goldman.

Also note the size of the first-quarter profit, multiply by four (assuming equally good results) and then compare against the “extra” payout through AIG to figure out whether there would be any bonus pool absent that payment.

Looks to me like the US Taxpayer is funding all of Goldman’s bonuses, never mind this ditty:

Last week, the firm predicted that President Barack Obama’s government could issue $3.25tn of debt before September, almost four times last year’s sum. Goldman, a prime broker of US government bonds, is expected to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits from selling and dealing in the bonds.

Nice, eh?  Do Treasury’s bidding, get paid for it, get an extra $10 billion from the taxpayer as a gift to cover a bet you had already hedged against default, and pocket it all.

Change we can believe in – yep, we’ll steal even more than we did under The Bush Administration!

Insane proposal by Obama Administration

Karl Denninger whose web site is linked on my Front page has written about a Dumb as a Sack of Hammers proposal to further Financially Rape Homeowners who are under water on their Mortgages.

Unbelievable are there any Adults In DC? Is Obama smoking Dank? Just what the hell are they thinking?

Ryan O’Neal will Marry Farrah Fawcett

She is dying of Anal Cancer. She did a documentary that was too painful for her Ex Husband Lee Majors to watch. Despite his Chemical dependency issues, Ryan O’Neal apparently does love Farrah Fawcett. It is tragic and heart breaking to see her wasting away. Perhaps in the End True Love does win out.

O’Neal will have a hard time filling the void in his life, that her Death will bring. I hope he can beat his Drug and Substance abuse issues and their Son can as well. And that her Death is not turned into a money making Circus.

Christina Hoff Sommers article in Weekly Standard

Christina Hoff Sommers the author of “Who Stole Feminism” has written an article that is posted in the Weekly Standard. It is entitled “No Room For Burly Men”. I would add in the US FemAmerica there is no Room for Men at all anymore. On Father’s Day the media insults Fathers. Step N Fetch It for NOW, POTUS Obama blames Men for not Manning UP as Fathers. When Women eject Men from Marriages in Divorce, interfere with visitation, and prevent Fathers from involvement in their Children’s Lives when Mom gets a New Boyfriend.

Apparently Women’s choices and decisions are never taken into account about How Fathers are treated. And Why more and more Men are opting out of Marriage, Fatherhood and Feminized American Women.

Memories of my Dad

My Father was physically abused by his Father. He had polio as a boy. And his Father my Grandfather beat him on his injured legs. Yes Men are abusers too. I cannot deny what I know to be true. But that does not mean all Men are the abusive, knuckle Dragging Oppressive Monsters Feminists paint us as.

My Dad played baseball with me as boy. Taught me to stand up for myself. Encouraged me to learn, told me I was bright enough to “get It”. Went to bat for me with a School Teacher who had severe emotional and mental problems. She took her life when I was a Freshman in High School.

He allowed me to pursue my own spiritual path, even when he disagreed with the direction. Honor, Courage, hard work, stay the course. All examples shown to me by my Father. That we allow the Assholes in the Media, Feminists, the Cowards of Religion to impune Males is why America is going to ultimately fall to outsiders. Its internal corruption, and denigration of its Men. Let the Women enjoy wearing their Bhurkas. Let them whine while their brutal Masters beat them for minor perceived infractions.

They turned their backs on and crapped all over decent Men. Women are beginning to realize America hates its Males. The evidence is overwhelming. The Mancession we are seeing. The Coward in the White House attacks Men. He snuffs out any attempt to encourage positive examples and curses the darkness. Obama is a fraud.

Feminists are liars. When a Woman stands up for Women and declares she loves her virile Husband and loves having Sex with him. They call her stupid. They call her daughters Whores and Sluts. While they revel in it themselves. They promote easily refuted lies. Amanda Marcotte and Jessica Valenti are being called liars by Violet Socks.

To the Men who do the heavy lifting. Who take the criticism, who love their children, fight for them, spend time with them. Encourage them to do better and live honorable lives. Kudos to you Gents.

American Women for the most part are idiots. Who prefer thugs, Bad Boys and Players to decent Men. Insanity and Female Governance have bastardized America. And will enslave its populace. I look at Tiger Woods. And see a Son who was encouraged by a Brave a Noble Father. Earl Woods was a National Treasure. An example of a Noble and decent Black Father.

He deserves a monument in his honor. Many such noble, decent, caring, brave Black Men live in this Nation. And are ignored by our country. To my Black Brothers and all decent Men who care for and love their Children. Happy Fathers Day. Your investment in your Children matters Gentlemen.

Who Are They Trying To Fool? (TNX)

The Obama Administration the PT Barnum of Politics. You can fool some of the People some of the time. The Treasury Auction coming up next week annualized is $8.58 Trillion Dollars. Credit for this information goes to Karl Denninger of Market Ticker. Karl you are doing a hell of a job Bro.

I mean, c’mon, $165 billion in Treasuries for sale in the next week?

$31 billion in 3-month bills
$27 billion in 7-year notes
$40 billion in 2-year notes
$37 billion in 5-year notes
$30 billion in 6-month bills

Annualized this is $8.58 trillion dollars!

Feminists unhappy unless Men are miserable

If you want to see how Narcissism is defined in human behavior. The Gender Feminists are the ideal topic to study. Unless all men are punished, controlled and enslaved these psychotic Man Haters will never be happy. Here is a prime Example. From the Feminist portal Feministing.com.

The Great He-cession makes me want to hu-rl

USA Today columnist David Zincenko had an op-ed today titled “Decline of the American Male”:

Like most Americans, I look at the news about the economy, the need for health care reform and our growing national debt, and I worry about how we’re going to escape the recession.But as someone who has spent his career working to save an endangered species men I have another worry on my mind: What are we going to do about the Great He-cession?

This troubling trend has been going on for several years, but it really picked up speed at the end of 2008. Of the 5.2 million people who’ve lost their jobs since last summer, four out of five were men. Some experts predict that this year, for the first time, more American women will have jobs than men. And that’s just furthering the decline of the endangered male. (Emphasis mine)

That’s right, folks – a “he-cession.” While men in fact are losing jobs at a higher rate than women, what the author isn’t taking into account is that not only are women paid less and generally have worse jobs than men, but are economically behind men in so many other ways. Dana Goldstein actually took this on last week in the American Prospect:

Historically, men suffer the majority of job losses during recessions, so policy-makers focus their efforts on getting men back to work. But when the economy picks up again, women typically do not share equally in the gains, in part because they aren’t equally employed in high-paying fields. And unemployment isn’t the only indicator of economic struggle. Women are one-third more likely than men to have sub-prime mortgages, nearly 60 percent of impoverished children are living in female-headed households, and the poverty rate is higher among women than it is among men of any race. Undergirding all that is the stubbornness of the pay gap between men and women, meaning that women still earn just 78 cents on the male dollar–even for the same work, with the same educational background and number of years on the job. Advocates say that given these disparities, it is actually women who are harder hit by the recession, despite more staggering joblessness among men.

What bothers me the most is the author’s implication that men are being “left behind” not really because of the recession, but as a sacrifice of women’s progression: “Women have gained in the past century, while men have fallen behind.”

It’s one thing to talk seriously about how the recession has effected the many groups of people who are suffering from it (including so many men who have lost their jobs), but to use it as a way to push some post-patriarchal nonsense is just ridiculous. Or should I say, “he-diculous.” Jesus.

Feminists Against Women strike again

June 16th, 2009

Unfuckingbelievable. Those lying twits at Feministing are doing it again: they’re actually repeating the rape kit smear.

The bogus story about Sarah Palin and the rape kits was one of the ugliest smears I’ve ever seen in politics. It was orchestrated by the Obama campaign, fueled with conference calls to reporters and stories planted in the blogosphere, and spread with the complicity of hypocritical feminists who were willing to say or do anything to slander Palin. Like Jessica Valenti, who actually included it in her hit job on Palin for the Guardian. And now Feministing is repeating it again.

No shame. No shame at all.

You know, I would really like to just ignore these woman-hating hypocritical Third Wave “feminists” who made such a goddamn mess last year. I never want to mention them or deal with them at all. I’m glad they want to be feminists, and hey, maybe someday they’ll realize what complete and total fuck-ups they are. Power to ‘em. But jesus fucking christ, when they start in again with rape kit thing, helping to perpetuate one of the most cynical of smears (from a campaign that was chock-fucking-full of cynical smears), it’s too goddamn much.

Billy Joel and third wife Katie Lee split

He is 60 she is 27. They have been married for Five (5) years and its over. Billy Joel who is an excellent musician and public figure. Is like Phil Collins learning it is not so easy even when you have money to stay married in the US.

We are in the midst of a transition away from Marriage to Cohabitation, Civil Unions, Marriage Contracts and away from a lifetime with one person type of living between the Genders. In the US Men are many of them refusing to even deal with Women. Its too much drama, pain, and grief.

Sir Paul McCartney is now moving toward Marriage #3, his Second Marriage to a Gold Digger Heather Mills was a disaster. And she is looking for another High Net Worth meal ticket. Good luck Ms. Mills.

I have always liked his music very much.
