Was Jesus With Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) at the Lincoln Memorial?


Ray Blumhorst checks in with this brilliant analysis.

Now, don't tune out because it says Jesus, as there is no bible-thumpin' here, just a historical comparison.

Ray bloviates thusly:

When confronting difficult circumstances in their daily lives, it appears many Christians have found it spiritually edifying to ask the question, “What would Jesus do?” According to the theological reasoning, the answer to that question is revealed, situation by situation, as each Christian lives their life following the life of Jesus Christ.

A few days ago, Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) scaled the statue of Abraham Lincoln, residing inside the Lincoln memorial in Washington, D.C. While some in the Christian community have apparently questioned and criticized the actions of Fathers 4 Justice, I think Fathers 4 Justice (F4J) committed a brilliantly Christian act. Scaling the statue of Lincoln, inside the memorial, to protest corruption in America's family law system reminds me of examples of Jesus' behavior in His earthly lifetime.

When Jesus cleansed the Temple in His time, Jerusalem was on heightened alert for possible "trouble." Insurrectionists were violently confronting Roman authority throughout the region, yet Jesus staged His protest, none-the-less. Considering the actions of F4J, the life of Jesus Christ, and the fact that Lincoln died a Christian, I suspect Jesus was right there with those Fathers from F4J, beginning the cleansing of “the temple of corrupt family law.”

In the Lincoln memorial, above the statue of Lincoln and carved on the back wall, are these words:

"In this temple as in the hearts of the people for whom he saved the union the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever."

Perhaps the single clearest memory of Abraham Lincoln is that of the great emancipator. Abraham Lincoln is remembered largely for issuing the emancipation proclamation and thereby freeing the slaves.

To freedom loving men and women around the world, the memory of Abraham Lincoln has become a symbol of freedom over slavery, and justice over cruel tyranny. Given the vast destruction of families taking place in corrupt family law courts today, where children are routinely denied equal access to one of their loving parents, one can only wonder, "What would President Lincoln do if he were alive today?" Would Lincoln de-incentivise the predominant rewarding of custody to Mothers over Fathers and thereby enrich children with equal access to both parents? Would President Lincoln put an end to the governmental harvesting of Fathers for governmental financial gain and thereby work to end the alienation of so many parents from their emotionally impoverished children? Would Lincoln de-incentivise the predominant rewarding of custody to Mothers over Fathers and thereby abolish the harsh financial slavery that Fathers are predominantly under?

In His earthly time, according to the New Testament, Jesus is credited with boldly going into the Temple of His local theocratic government and cleansing it of money changers who placed exorbitant financial burdens on the people of His time. However, Jesus was not so mild mannered and peaceful as F4J. Jesus grabbed a whip and put it to the corrupt money changers, and others, who onerously exploited the good, decent people.

No doubt some will say I'm mixing theology with secular politics, but I disagree. Under the Roman rule of Jesus' time the local management of the people was handled in large part by the religious leaders in Jesus' community. Jesus was taking direct action to confront the corruption of those leaders and their underlings. It is truly sad, in my opinion, that many "leaders" of Jesus’ Church today lack so much clarity, conviction and integrity that they misandristly address the marriage crisis in their Churches, but ignore the bigger problem of blatant corruption in America‘s family law system.

To try to stigmatize Fathers 4 Justice as anything less than loving, caring, devoted Fathers (trying to work peacefully to change a corrupt family law system) is despicable, in my opinion, and lacking in good sense. To try to stigmatize F4J as anything less than the societal change agents for good they are striving to be, is vicious and un-Christian, in my opinion.

Regardless of critics, self-aggrandizing interests, the lack of main stream media news coverage, and the ongoing obstinance of government saying, “Don’t give them any attention,” it very much appears that the righteous cleansing of the corrupt family law legal system (temple) has begun in America - with significant action by Fathers 4 Justice. What will you now do?

Where Would You Hide...The TRUTH!

Not sure if any of you check out YouTube, read my blogs, SYG, or even know who I am but...

A while back the MSPCC (Massachusetts Society for the something or other) put out an very defaming PSA about fathers and child abuse. This ad, brought to the attention of many readers by Glenn Sacks and MND, essentially implied, once again, through MISinformation, that all fathers are brutish abusers; specifically that of children.

Note that Glenn & Co. called for the removal and he and a few other men of noteworthiness through their own channels were able to get the PSA removed from the television. I comment him for his victory for lack of a better word.

BUT! The damage is done…

And, of course this garbage is still prevalent on the internet.....

Furthermore, Glenn called for us MRAs NOT to bombard them with emails etc because they "had done the right thing" by removing the ad.

Maybe so, but let’s say a person drove over your favorite pet, caused by their own stupidity or recklessness and not just an honest accident. They, “doing the right thing” paid the costs ensued and even went as far as to purchase you a NEW pet…

Would you be all cuddly and palsy-walsy with them now? Of course not. You would still have anger, sadness, and feel angst towards them at some level. In other words, the images of your pet being killed at the hands of a reckless act (such as the likes of MISinformation) is STILL embedded in your mind. The feelings are still in your heart. The pain and anger is still there. Sure, time will heal but…. The image(s) are now there…true or not.

The damage is done…..

By the way, did you notice how I used non-gender specifics above? See? It is actually quite easy to do!

Back to my tirade. I for one disagree with Glenn. Respectfully of course, but none-the-less disagree still. If just one person saw that ad, believed the bull, and now views all fathers as the prevailing child abusers in the home, then the ad did what it was supposed to do and we are once again evil monsters. And I truly believe that this WAS what the intention of the PSA all along.

Sure, one could say that the ad was really about child abuse as a whole. But when the gender of the perp is specifically a male actor, specifically labeled a “father” or “dad”. You get the message. It would have been very easy for them to just use the word “parent” and still get the message out. Yes, this message needs to get out, I do not argue that point what-so-ever. But they chose agenda over the children, per se instead.

The damage is done….

Arguably, this PSA was geared specifically towards Massachusetts. The numbers, albeit slightly correct (for that year), were seriously lacking and MISguiding. As we all say, ‘cherry picking’ to prove your point painfully to an agenda. And taking that side intentionally to MISlead when the overall facts are COMPLETELY different is dishonest in the least. To ignore the real facts, because they support the opposite of your agenda, in the least should be criminal. How many ways can I say it…

When I see media like this, I battle within myself as to what I should do about it. I want to be active because I care; and yes, sometimes, angry about it. But I also have very little time to pee, let alone do these videos that I must confess, are a tad cumbersome to produce. It’s the researching part that gets to me. I get so downtrodden when I read, re-read, and yet read again how fathers are monsters and mothers are better than sliced bread! It gets to me. I get angry, depressed, and then angry again…. Vicious cycle. A cycle that I place myself within time and time again because I feel that if one doesn’t do SOMETHING, then they have no real basis to piss-n-moan.

Anyhow, this one was just a days (ok evenings) work and I believe well worth the effort. I already had the REAL facts, all I needed to do was recreate the “slides” and do a little remove/insert action. Adjust the timing, add a few additional CORRECT facts, tape myself playing twinkle twinkle on my keyboards, compile it and viola! Remember, this was an easy one!

Legally, I am probably wrong by using THEIR PSA with my CORRECT and easily locatable data. But sometimes, ya just gottah say fuck it. They need to be called upon their lies. Sure, it was removed from the Television, but it is still all over the net…. And folks are touting this as fact with epic proportions! BULLSHIT I SAY!

So that is my tangent. Here is my response video to the Massholes, and to those on YouTube that tout this garbage as fact…. Enjoy.

Gender Politics Do NoT Help Children

Another glaring example of DSHS’s horribly misguided approach to protecting children has woken me from my summer slumber. The Seattle Times describes how CPS repeatedly returned a young boy to the home of his step-grandmother and grandfather. He was relegated to living in a trailer behind the house. And CPS signed off on it. Twice!

Worse, the boy was continually and severally beaten, choked, and burned by his step-grandmother.

Detectives now believe the suspected abuse — mostly by Loni Venegas — included beatings with a bamboo stick, choking and scalding.
Pierce county deputies had already removed the boy from his “home” in June suspecting that his step-grandmother was abusing him. CPS promptly returned him to his “home.” The Pierce County sheriff’s department finally took action again, removed the boy from his torture chamber, and indicted this horrible woman on seven counts of assault. The Pierce County Sheriff must have finally decided that with CPS around the only way to protect the child was to make sure Loni Venegas is in jail. Evident from the quotes in the article, the Pierce County sheriff’s department is extremely frustrated with CPS. All of us should be.

The Times barely mentions the fact that the boy's “grandparents” won custody in a bitter custody dispute after his mother was tragically killed in car accident in 2001. But there is no mention of just who was on the other side of the custody dispute. Was it his father? Or perhaps the parents of his father? Wouldn’t a balanced article have sought comment from them? How, in fact, did this boy end up in the hands of his violent step-grandmother instead of in the home of his father? Since fathers are considered unimportant or even innately dangerous, the Times reporter did not investigate the larger picture.

The Secretary of DSHS, Robin Arnold-Williams, has taken a stand. She has proclaimed that everyone is going to work together to fix this problem. Yeah, right. The problem IS Arnold-Williams and her bureaucracy of gender feminist ideologues that run DSHS. They are blind to the reality that women commit the vast majority of child abuse. In the mind of gender feminists like Arnold-Williams, when women are violent, it is the fault of another, usually a man. And of course due to the "patriarchal control and oppression" that supposedly characterizes our society. Just like family courts in the State of Washington, CPS is obsessive about putting children into the “care” of a woman, regardless of the actual circumstances.

This is just the latest in a string of CPS failures involving violent, alcoholic, or drug addicted women abusing children. This problem cannot be fixed until people like Robin Arnold-Williams, who have a gender political axe to grind, are removed from DSHS. Moreover, and perhaps more importantly, DSHS needs to be refocused from a revenue generating machine for the state (through federal matching of child support collections) to an apolitical organization with the sole purpose and objective of helping people, families, and children.
