A father's rights advo called into the Neal Boortz Show
a few nights ago saying that Barak Obama is the best
candidate for father's rights.

There is no "best candidate for father's rights" in this year's
US presidential election. Everyone on offer so far is no more
than a zero on that issue.

Boortz ripped into the guy saying he was stupid etc

I agree with Neal Boortz on that one. Any Obama cheerleader
is stupid.

and that since it's a state issue that it doesn't have
anything to do with presidential elections.
Lame argument, anything can be a "state issue".

That's a lame argument because the US Federal Government
has long injected its power into all sorts of father's rights
issues. Ask Jill.

Boortz can take that stance but insulting a good father's
rights advo is not the way to go about it.

Being an Obama-licker earned the idiot plenty of insults,
"father's rights advo" or not.

Please email Neal and tell him to get with the program.

Dear Neal Boortz,

Thanks for putting another Obama-crat in his/her place.

By the way, altho' in a perfect world father's rights issues
would be acknowledged as solely a state's issue, in this
world, the real one, it isn't. The blame for injecting the
US Federal Government into scores of father's rights
issues belongs to both incumbent parties; neither of them
deserve a vote from fathers.

"Scores of father's rights issues"??? I didn't realize that
the feds had gotten into more than 40 father's right's issues.
Is there a listing of those issues somewhere?

The wikipedia entry at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fathers'_rights_movement

only lists about 7 main issues. What are the others?

Better check again. I just edited the site. ;-)

I just looked at the Wikipedia entry again, and it still shows just
the 7 major issues. The most recent edit shown was some modification
to a few of the references.

See the winking smiley after my comment above? You are much too
literal.

My point was that Wiki entries are only as "good" as the last person
who edited the data is. I could go in at any time and enter any
information (correct or not) I wanted to and so can anyone else. You
need a better source of proof if you want to be taken as credible
yourself.

I'm not looking to prove anything. I'm looking for a list of issues
that would support the statement above that there are more than
40 men's right's issues into which the federal goverment has
intruded. If Wikipedia had listed only 37 issues, I would conclude
that the article author might have missed a few. But Wikipedia
lists only 7 issues, leaving me to wonder if the author is totally
clueless, or whether someone was exagerating for effect when they
said "scores of issues".


I don't doubt that the Feds have stuck their nose into the
issues---here in Oregon, we have a lot of experience with the Feds
getting into issues that are usually considered state's rights.
I just can't think of that many different father's rights issues.
