Why Republicans Will Lose in 2008
G.O.P party-line bombast has failed to generate the level of buzz needed to effectively counter the looming Democrat invasion on the Presidency and Congress. I do admit it is a tall order overcoming an irrelevant American Idol side-show addicted to whether a black or woman might become the first to attain the Presidency. [...]

Who's Tired Of Pink?
The Huffington Post (colloquially known as the “Ton of Huffing Post”) insulted American intelligence last Friday by publishing a pretzel-logic rant by one Erica Jong, titled "Who's Tired Of Pink?".
Fortunately, Ms. Jong speaks only for the few sociopathic women who wouldn’t know what to do with a good man if he fell out of the [...]

Romney: A Strong Economy = Marriage Values?
Tonight on the Fox News Channel debates, Mitt Romney again played the traditional “Reagan” marriage card. He said that a strong economy equals strong families. Unfortunately, this is only half the equation — the half representing the possibility that strong families could exist.
Like the rest of the Republican lineup, Romney refuses to work [...]

Hillary's "Iron My Shirt" Protester Was Yet Another Audience Plant
Today at a whistle stop in Salem, New Hampshire, an alleged protester raised a sign saying "Iron My Shirt" while hollering the same idiotic slogan.
I do not know anybody in the men's movement who would resort to this level of idiocy. I do, however, know a few individuals hitting the whistle stops with truly [...]

Bad Omen From Iowa: Obama Trumps Huckabee 2-1, Marriage Values is the Missing Key
Mike Huckabee is understandably basking in his early victory, but facing a very tough row to hoe between now and Super Tuesday. Obama is on fire while Hillary’s foot is stuck in the mire.
Notwithstanding the fact that Iowa is just the first shot in the dark, those betting on Republican futures have a serious [...]
First Men's Shelter Opens in Canada
Women's advocacy organizations have long had full control of government resources allocated for domestic violence services, in spite of the fact that at least half of all serious domestic violence is initiated by women. Politicians whose faux-chivalry views originate below the belt have enabled this to happen (recall that the Ku Klux Klan also [...]

Hillary: Deadbeat Politics Comes Home
Christmas is the season when feminist judges and aspiring prosecutors appease the Pink Aristocracy by rounding up all those guys who can’t afford to pay fixed-sums of “child support” demanded to finance feminist divorce-for-the-hell-of-it. Combine this jolly style of secular Mussolinism with a Presidential election, and it all comes straight back down the chimney.

Men's Marriage Movement Strong in India
Men and Marriage are very much alive in India. India has become a raucous battleground between radical feminists and marriage advocates in a very short time span. The Save Indian Family Foundation has approximately 8,000 members, which could make it the largest men's and marriage organization in the world.
In my analysis, [...]

Rabbi Susan Talve: A Bishop Too?
Bibles and Torahs aside, if there is a secular reason why women’s rights does not include entitlement to function as Catholic Priests, Rabbi Susan Talve of St. Louis’s Central Reform Congregation is a cameo example.
Rabbi Talve recently commenced interfaith nuclear war in St. Louis by anointing her synagogue with the authority to serve as the [...]

Fox Debates: Thompson Takes the Lead on Social Policy
Tonight in the Florida presidential debates, Fred Thompson made a statement of tremendous historic political significance:
“Part of the problem in our education system and with our children has to do with the societal breakdown that's going on in this country. We need more fathers to stay and raise their kids."
This is the first time [...]
