SACKS ATTACK
Glenn Sacks

MensNewsDaily.com Contributing Editor Takes On Former Rep. John Kasich on The O'Reilly Factor


Editor:

Congratulations are in order for MND editor Glenn Sacks. It was not unexpected that John Kasich, a life long Republican would be more than happy to attack and attempt to defame the Men’s Rights Movement during an exchange with MND Editor Glenn Sacks. “I think this whole thing started over a bunch of guys having beers who were upset about paying child support” he arrogantly tossed in Mr. Sacks direction. Mr. Sacks was obviously more then prepared (eager?) for an intellectual debate.

The hostility is evident for a number of reasons. The Democrats are in the back pockets (purses?) of the Radical/ Gender Feminists and are not about to risk alienating one of their core constituencies by letting men have rights that would deprive them of income.

The Republicans keep getting political mileage from numerous tax cuts, but they are loathe to cut spending. Cutting spending may actually take some real leadership. Cuts in programs such as the welfare (the same welfare which would be needed to replace the dad’s 20-30% confiscated income) would create a public relations nightmare when these “abandoned” children start going without the necessities of life. No, the Republicans won’t adopt the Men’s Rights Movement into their agenda. Their corporate sponsors would frown upon such a move, much as they do every time abortion rights are in jeopardy. Note: many Republicans do not want to end abortion because “someone” would have to “foot the bill” for all those fatherless children.

So, for now, about the only national political party speaking up for us and our rights are the Libertarians… so we are pretty much standing alone. But we are alone together.

The churches don't want to offend any of the ladies in their congregations/synagogues and the clergy are, by and large, silent. They are fully aware of how imbalanced the whole situation has become between men and women (thanks to our wonderful government) and if the women tell their men "I don't want to go to that church/synagogue anymore" the men will do as they are told. The only minister I know addressing any of these issues is MND’s guest contributor Pastor Grant Swank.

Gentlemen, we need to Hang in There. Knowing that we are not the problem brings us a bit closer to the solution, whatever that may be... This has been building for decades and it may take a while for the damage to be reversed.

John Kasich tried hard to ambush Mr. Sacks, but to Glenn’s credit he did not get rattled. He held his own and made some fine points. “We simply want the same rights that women have for men,” which seems pretty straight forward to me. For us, the meal tickets of the Western World, that was pretty good. He was able to disseminate a small piece of the “men have rights too” message out into the market place of ideas.

Thanks Glenn. You did well.

I was so outraged at the stupidity and the comments made by Fox stand in for Bill O'Reilly. I agree with Men's Choice. For years men have been held responsible for babies they only helped to create many times believe the woman to be on birth control. Men should have the opportunity to say, "no I'm not ready to be a Father." And calling men irresponsible because they choose not to, is a bit of a double standard. When women make a decision they do not want to have a baby they are not labeled thus. Men you are not getting a fair shake, and if there's anything I can do to help support this campaign I will help. Believe it or not I am a woman. But I am ashamed to say that my gender is capable of more manipulating, lying and deception than any man.

As of now women are holding all the cards and many men hostage because of her, not his, irresponsible, selfish and devious acts. Not fair at all.

I did write a letter to the Factor, I will be surprised if they read it though.

I caught the tail end of the segment that your represenitive was on. I had a similar thought a few years back when i became the proud donor to a woman and her husband, she had no intention of leaving him and so I often wonder why she kept the child and why our relation ship ended so soon. But I came to the conclusion that you will never be relieved of your paternal parental rights (at least not by choice, as I have none) only the male re$po$ibility is wanted. The only conclusion i have is that a male oral birth control should be made available. I went so far as to ask around at a local hospital and came up with the fact that one (of 2) has been developed, only problem is that it decreases the male libido, so MAYO hasn't released it (why it hasn't been released and made available to allow men to make their own decision is not clear). I would donate but I am already supporting a family of 3--I hope to have one of my own one day.

It seems funny that with all the crap males recieve (white males seem to be the path of least resistace) that pretty much everything that benifits society is the result of males. I wish I could say Male Pride without feeling i am saying Gay Pride, if i ever come up with a way around it you can be sure it will be shared.

Thanks for making the effort.

Obviously, this congressman replacing O'Reilly today, has NO CLUE about this subject and has no idea about what's truly going on out there. Couple years ago, I was involved in a very nasty divorce. I was accused of everything under the sun.I had seven attorneys and they all took my money and vanished. Never did anything for me.They all played "footsie" with the opposition.What the system does to our children, is nothing less than a crime of infinite proportions and nothing is been done to stop it.I learned the very hard way about the dark side of our society. Wish you the best Sir.

After 18 months of careful and thorough research, I have concluded the reason my soon-to-be six year old son has been, and most likely continues to be, molested on a routine basis is due to the feminist indoctrinated sexist stereotyping simpletons of John Kasich's ilk. It also explains why my soon-to-be 10 year old "daughter" thought I was her father for seven years, then found out that was just a lie mommy was telling everybody.

Yes, John, women not only abort, murder, and abuse their children, they molest them too. And they lie to anyone and everyone, including the child, as to who their father is, just to get that coveted child support check.

That same old tired "he just doesn't want to pay child support" attitude prevents any reasonable discussion regarding any father wanting to protect his children, let alone obtain any semblance of equal protection regardless of gender, which happens to be mandated by the Constitution.

The breadth and scope of family court corruption is astounding, and it relies heavily upon the "I know it all" attitude of know-nothings like Kasich. Perhaps if Kasich were willing to open his mind to the simple truths readily available at MensNewsDaily.com, children like mine would no longer face routine abuse, and all too often, death.

It is quite astounding that Kasich apparently supports the murder/abortion of children by women who wish to "opt out" of being a parent, yet finds it ridiculous should men want to "opt out" of parenting, and men aren't even asking to kill the child. Are women really so vastly superior to men? Where does it say that in the Constitution?

Why are "rights" the exclusive domain of women, and "responsibility" the exclusive domain of men? How does this affect our children, our future? Why not tell the women seeking abortion, or those seeking 18+ years of child support with no involvement by the father, that "it's too late, you've had your fun, now you must pay".

Many thanks are owed to those willing to think beyond the myopic anti-male exploitation of children that Glenn Sacks routinely and politically incorrectly exposes. I believe John Kasich is a good man who could achieve such wisdom, if he were only willing to look at the tremendous harm to men, women, and children, resulting from the anti-male discrimination he espouses.

We need to let John Kasich, who stood in for O'Reilly last night, know how we feel about his interview of Glenn Sacks. On the one hand, we appreciate Kasich mentioning Men's News Daily and having Sacks on the show. On the other hand, it seems the sole reason he had him on the show is to laugh at and ridicule Sacks' ideas and the men's movement. It seems as if Sacks was meant to be a last-minute filler who was never mentioned until near the end of the show.

Hopefully, Sacks planted some thoughts in the alleged millions who watch O'Reilly, though most of the group who needed to hear them most (young men) were likely doing their Friday night thing in bars and elsewhere.

I could not find Kasich's email address at the site of his new Foxnews show, "From the Heartland," on which Warren Farrell supposedly appeared Saturday a week ago.

Here's my letter re Sacks' appearance on "O'Reilly."

I appreciate John Kasich interviewing Glenn Sacks of Men's News Daily (www.mensnewsdaily.com). What's hard to appreciate is Kasich's ridicule of Sacks' ideas. Men do need a reproductive right that is equal to women's right of abortion -- namely, the right to "abort" financial support for child a woman chooses to have against a man's wish, sometimes deceptively. The lack of this right contributes to male poverty, especially among blacks, and to male violence against women.

We don't tell women what we contemptuously tell men, "You made your bed, now lie in it," or "If you play, you must pay."

Kasich is steeped in the chivalry that colludes with radical feminism to keep men in their place without rights in the world of children, even as women achieve equal rights in the world of work.

(Please forward the attachment to Kasich, who has never heard the ideas in it, because the mainstream media, like him, won't permit a debate on gender and he's too chivalrous (too afraid of women) to listen.)

John Kasich offended about 16 million Disenfranchised Dads…

If he thinks we’re a bunch of losers, ask him how he would deal with:

Being dumped by an ex-wife because you confronted her about abusing your kids, moving to the same town she went, knowing her brother is a cop and create all kinds of grief, switching jobs- then being told the company you were moving to went out of business, getting behind in support, then being ordered to pay $4500 per month while unemployed or go to jail for a year..  I lived it. I started my own business in a bedroom and pulled it off…

NOW, if a chivalrous, self-righteous jerk like Kasich thinks he is half the man most of these fathers are, if he can deal with the daily pressures of support, corrupt family courts, the confiscation of 80% of your income, loss of health, life and car insurance, destruction of credit, interference with seeing your kids, listening to your kids wail because they want to spend more time with you but the ex won’t allow it, eating grits and eggs three times a day for months, being thrown in jail because your job doesn’t pay enough, etc, etc, etc. THEN he can insult me and my compatriots. 

And may I add I am proud to have people like Glenn Sacks, Stephen Baskerville, DiannaThompson and sites like www.mensnewsdaily.com representing our cause.
