For some tens of thousands of fathers, in this Canadian province alone, “Father’s Day” is an especially bitter occasion. These are the men separated from their children by court order, many never to see them again. Each knows that his children have been subjected to vicious propaganda against him, that in many cases a child’s own mother — a woman the father once trusted enough to marry — has turned the child’s heart against him. (I know of many cases.)

It could be worse: for the father may have been replaced in his own household by a new man, or even a new woman. Someone who will never care for his children as he did, however badly he may have expressed it; who will at least be lacking the biological compulsion to look out for one’s own flesh and blood.

In a further twist, whether or not mom has found a new squeeze, the ostracized dad may be making court-ordered spousal support payments sufficiently onerous to put him on a cot in some closet — hounded by process servers, and under the threat of jail if his payments fall behind. (I know this experience at first hand.)….(Full Story)

Karl Hindle has been working tirelessly for five years and spent more than four hundred thousand dollars investigating his daughter’s illegal abduction to the U.S. What he has uncovered is deplorable. The paper trail shows the United States government is in the business of illegal baby snatching and harboring criminals….(Full Story)

Dear Member/ Concerned parent/ grandparent etc, We were going to hold our first meeting in Edinburgh on the 25th June prior to the Equal parenting debate that was to take place in Holyrood, Edinburgh.

Unfortunately the Debate has now been postponed until the start of the new term ( Sept 2008 ) The debate was to be on MSP Nigel Don’s Motion S3M-01839 , ( Family Law Disputes ) which was to be debated in Holyrood on 25 June, the details of the first Equal Parenting Alliance Scottish Regional meeting have been changed.

S3M-01839# Nigel Don (North East Scotland) (Scottish National Party): Family Law Disputes

That the Parliament recognises that current arrangements for settling family law disputes could be improved and that current law still discriminates against parents who are not married; notes that parents can find it difficult or impossible to enforce contact orders where the other parent is unco-operative and that disputes where broken families live in more than one jurisdiction within the United Kingdom are unnecessarily difficult to resolve; further notes that these issues are particularly relevant due to recent cases in the north east; encourages current moves by Scotland’s legal profession towards collaborative dispute resolution, and notes with interest the new system of less adversarial trials being developed in Australia.

Supported by: Rob Gibson, Dr Ian McKee, Alex Neil, Bill Kidd, Hugh O’Donnell, Joe FitzPatrick, Dr Bill Wilson, Mike Pringle, Sandra White, Jamie Hepburn, Ken Macintosh, Christina McKelvie, Keith Brown, Liam McArthur, Michael Matheson, Nicol Stephen, Lewis Macdonald, Dr Christopher Harvie, Willie Coffey

Lodged on Friday, May 02, 2008; Current

Today is Fathers Day. What I write here fits the day, as some other comments did that I wrote over the years about fathers and Fathers Day.

The following excerpt is the conclusion of a 2001 commentary that argues that without fathers to head families, society is in trouble.

The “family” in all ages and in all corners of the globe can be defined as a man and a woman bonded together through a socially approved covenant of marriage to regulate sexuality, to bear, raise, and protect children, to provide mutual care and protection, to create a small home economy, and to maintain continuity between the generations, those going before and those coming after.

It is out of the reciprocal, naturally recreated relations of the family that the broader communities—such as tribes, villages, peoples, and nations—grow.

— Allan Carlson, in
What’s Wrong With the United Nations Definition of ‘Family’?
The Family in America (August 1994), p. 3

How can any father forget about the crucial role he must play in that design for the fundamental building block of any well society and still demand respect and justice?

Real fathers put the welfare of others — their families, community and nation — before their own. However, they cannot exercise their role if they are not part of their families and if they don’t receive the respect they deserve for the sacrifices they make. For that we need: Fathers in families, not families without fathers.

It should by now be abundantly obvious to anyone that the feminist social engineering of more than 40 years that resulted in the systematic and endemic marginalization of fathers and families produced nothing but social decay. If you cannot accept that, read Experiments in Living: The Fatherless Family, by Rebecca O’Neill; Sept. 2002, CIVITAS. Rebecca O’Neill states that,

It’s official: The experiment has failed

For the best part of thirty years we have been conducting a vast experiment with the family, and now the results are in : the decline of the two-parent, married-couple family has resulted in poverty, ill-health, educational failure, unhappiness, anti-social behaviour, isolation and social exclusion for thousands of women, men and children.

This morning I found an article that provides an excellent description of the other side of the equation for the symbiosis of fathers, families and nations. That article, by Heretic, a teacher in London, England, describes the history of the deliberate and systematic transformation of the U.K. from being a stable society to one that is in escalating and perhaps terminal social chaos.

There is nothing special about that evolution in the U.K. The same situation exists — in slightly varying stages of “progress” — in every developed nation, thanks to the Left, the largely and almost entirely feminist-dominated and -controlled Left.

Heretic describes the specifics of the history of social decline and decay of the U.K. He could have written in more general terms and just as accurately have hit the nail on the head for all developed nations. Heretic’s article is great and absolutely required reading. Read it: The Industrialisation of the Family.

Belatedly, Switzerland is the last developed nation that, starting in 2007, determined that Fathers Day (on the third Sunday in June) should be a national day of celebrating fathers. That is coming about as a result of intensive lobbying by the Swiss men’s movement.

It remains to be seen whether that will strengthen Swiss families and halt the social decline of Switzerland, but it is a good first step. Still, as of now it did not do anything of the kind in any other nation. After all, what good is one day out of a year for celebrating fathers when fathers receive little or no respect during the rest of the year and the feminist-driven belittling and vilification of men, fathers and families rages on.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons why of all developed nations Switzerland still does not have an official Fathers Day.
