The War Against Men: Has Anyone Read This Book?
Book Description
Every man in America must read this explosive expos=E9 of the
frightening assault waged on American men for more than a generation.
It identifies the: Perpetrators of this war
Increase in power that women have obtained'at the expense of men.
Rampant discrimination against men that has fueled this change in
power.
Decline of the United States as a result of the war against men.
Half-truths and lies used by women and their organizations to demonize
men and achieve their dubious objectives.
Reasons why men, not women, must be the leaders of families and our
nation.
Extent to which federal funding and commitment to health care grossly
favors women over men.
Commandments by God that define the relationship between husbands and
wives, men and women.
Culpability women have for divorce and the tactics they use to deny
decent husbands and fathers a place to live and child visitation
rights.
Major corporations that discriminate against men in order to vault
women into top management positions.
Weakened U.S. military as female participation has increased through
the lowering of standards for them'but not for men.

From the Publisher
This book will enrage anyone who is able to judge the situation fairly
and who is outraged by inequity and falsehood. For those of us who have
sensed that all is not right with the portrayal and treatment of men in
today's America, it offers documented evidence that our suspicions are
right, and it offers us facts with which to beat back the conflagration
of hatred against our fathers, sons and brothers by women who hate all
men and distort the truth in order to portray decent males as monsters
merely for the crime of being male.
What I found astounding about this book is that it was written by a
Christian. Christian authors are known for their ridiculously and
foolishly positive attitudes about marraige, and Dr. Hise is to be
commended for breaking ranks and warning men about the dangers of women
and marraige. He doesn't come across as brutally as Rev. Shannon in
"The Predatory Female", but his message is valuable nonetheless.
Hopefully, because of his religious background, he will reach a wider
audience than some of the other authors such as Shannon and Fitzgerald,
who are hardly Bible-thumping believers.
To my knowledge, (being a former fundy Christian), there are no books
available other than "The War Against Men" that warn Christian MEN of
the pitfalls inherent in marraige. This gives you some idea of how the
Matriarchy controls even the church, the last defense against feminism.
Too late Christian men are waking up to what has happened to their
religion- AND their women- and Dr. Hise tries to sound the warning.
Dr. Hise rightly observes that there is a trend developing whereby men
are simply abandoning any and all relationships with women. Period. I
understand this line of reasoning, and have walked away from the mess
myself.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that he allowed for divorce for the
man who is married to a woman that is simply beyond hope. (Which may
very well be most of them). Finally, a Christian who understands that
there are women, even "religious women", who are impossible to live
with. The good doctor must have spent some time reading Proverbs which
is chock-full of warnings to men about how it's preferable to live in
the wilderness than with an angry woman.
The only downside is that he occasionally advocates tithing as some
sort of cure-all, but if you can get past these temporary lapses in
judgement, the book is a great addition to the the many books that are
available for men to combat the incessant brainwashing of the
Matriarchy.

foolishly positive attitudes about marraige,
Which reminds me. Andrew Carnegie and Mark Twain were arguing some
religious point--- Carnegie pro-Christian and Twain a little against.
Whereupon, Carnegie blustered, "This is a Christian nation."
"So is hell," said Twain.

CELEBRATE THE POETRY OF THE US CONSTITUTION!!!
http://jollyrogerwest.com
http://jollyroger.com
For there is yet a war to be won within the greater culture, and the
spoils of victory are nothing less than the college campuses, the
romance in all deep, forsaken literature, the greater culture, the
hearts and minds of the Good People, the children's innocence, the
millenium's renaissance, and the correct continuity of a relatively
short, simple document-- the United States Constitution. Considering
the extent of the entrenched positions and annealed attitudes of the
Postmodern Elite, winning this war shall prove to be as formidable a
task as it is necessary. Their advantageous positions are well-funded
by our tax and tuition dollars as well as by their conscienceless
marketing of temptations of extensive reach to all ages. From their
well-fortified academic and cultural posts, they lead a relentless,
ubiquitious assault on behalf of ignorance in both education and
entertainment, all the while eroding the classical context of the Great
Books. But fear not, maties, for with God and the Greats on our side,
any sailor endowed with a soul shall emerge victorious. For nobody can
ever take from us the Honor gained by defending Truth and Beauty. And
what can be more beautiful than a girl reading a Great Book?
Literary wars, much like the definitive wars which this country fought
for freedom, are always inevitably won by those fighting for morality,
honor, and Truth. So it is that the noble United States has so far
defeated tyranny, slavery, communism, and fascism, all to defend the
basic precepts and principles of the U.S. Constitution. And in
defending this very same sublime piece of literature, America shall
defeat postmodernism. Though the former conflicts were all won by the
sword, which is protected by the Second Amendment, this contemporary
conflict shall be won by the pen, which is protected by the First
Amendment. So it is that those fundamental freedoms which the
Constitution protects remain free to protect the Constitution.

Compasses, weathervanes, and cobblestones,
I paused to rest against a great Oak tree,
Weathervane crowned the church, church crowned the stones,
The compass I held out in front of me,
The wind rose, the golden weathervane showed,
A Nantucket Northeaster blowing in,
The thunder roared while the horizon glowed,
I sat there, 'til I was soaked to my skin.
My thoughts turned towards a girl down in DC,
and how I'd once been like the weathervane,
But now I felt a compass within me,
where she was some force beyond wind and rain.
For though wind I feel, and the sun I see,
The wind shifts, and the sun sets everyday,
But governed by an unseen entity,
The iron needle shall point the same way.
I stayed 'til the storm broke with red at night,
And golden rays shot 'cross the deep blue sea,
And I'll say, beyond this sailor's delight,
The greater things are those we never see.
For politicians on pulpits shall twist,
Point where vice and vanity's winds command,
And if ye follow weathervanes in mist,
In this postmodern fog, ye shall be damned.
But instead mate, if ye should navigate,
by Faith, ye'll steer clear of temptation's shoal,
It's not the golden crown that makes men great,
But it's the iron deep within their soul.
Perhaps it was on a similar tempestuous afternoon, while passing
through Nantucket on a whaling voyage, that Herman Melville also began
to differentiate between the sincere and superficial Nantuckets:
But this august dignity I treat of, is not the dignity of kings and
robes, but that abounding dignity which has no robed investiture. Thou
shalt see it shining in the arm that wields a pick or drives a spike;
that democratic dignity which, on all hands, radiates without end from
God; Himself! The great God absolute! The centre and circumference of
all democracy! His omnipresence, our divine equality!
--Chapter 26, Knights and Squires, MOBY *****
And as all poets and philosophers wander this same earth, it's no
mystery that their prophetic souls are often inspired to record the
same entities. Emerson alluded to the deeper Nantucket with:
O poet! a new nobility is conferred in groves and pastures, and not
in castles or by the sword-blade any longer. --Ralph Waldo Emerson's
Poetry
This second Nantucket is that far rarer, haunted Nantucket known best
by the young and young at heart. It is more a feeling than a place, and
its ubiquity in the human soul is better captured in sentences than
postcards. A mozaic of the resplendent Autumn colors highlighted by the
blood-red October cranberry bogs, the blanketing ocean mists which can
suddenly cast a pale grey shroud across the bright blue sky and a damp
chill upon your skin, only to dissipate with the same immediacy, and
leave the rolling moors as vividly green as the skies are immaculately
blue. This definitive clarity belies the nature of that deeper
Nantucket which so unexpectedly became so that one summer, as it gained
an immutable permanence, now forever cemented in hindsight, and within
A Nantucket Ghost Story. It all left me breathless as I returned to
Hyannisport on the 6:30 AM ferry, as the sun rose before me, and my
teenage years and Nantucket set behind me, joining the great leveling
blue of Noah's lingering flood, which yet covers a good two-thirds of
the earth.

The Starbuck Classical Poetry Port was inspired by a mystical memory
which has haunted me ever since this foggy May night by the Corolla
Lighthouse, which can be found just North of Duck, on the outer banks
of North Carolina. The Lighthouse can be found there, while the memory
resides here. Hoping to climb the spiral stairs in the Corolla Light,
Misty and I had hopped the criss-cross wooden corrale fence so as to
see if the door to the Light was unlocked. Not only was this a first
date with a totally awesome girl, but it also happened on that same
gothic night that I was introduced to Moby *****. Now a lot of people
might contend that Moby ***** is a novel, rather than a poem, but as of
late I have been staying up to all hours of the morning studying the
subject, and I say that Poetry is the music of the rational soul, the
ultimate expression of the spirit's reality, and a mirror of the
intangible, phantasmal essence of our existence. Poetry is found in all
the magnificent works which define the fundamental words at the
foundations of all our laws, convictions and conventions, our morality,
our conscience, and our sense of divinity. Shelley himself declared
that poets are the unacknowledged legislators of mankind, and I contend
that one can find no noble milestones in history which were not
preceded by the spoken or written work of an individual who had the
courage to render a bold new vision in words. Though it is often
endowed with rhyme and meter, poetry derives its everlasting glory from
the depths of the profundities it preserves. Thus the classical poets,
who we shall dedicate all the Classicals Inc. websites to, range in
character from Shakespeare, to Plato, to St. Augustine, to Thomas
Jefferson, to the Prophets, to Herman Melville, to Kipling, to
Salinger. And though lacking corporeality, all Great Poetry is as solid
and permanent as the rock of the eternal soul.
As all noble actions are preceded by thoughts, and all thoughts reside
in words, so it is that our freedom, character, and divine sense of
meaning derive from language and literature. The Gospel of John
presents a brief history of God's aspect and language, which are
forever wedded:
In the beginning was the Word, and
the Word was With God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.
And having stated thus, I cannot forget that the truest definition of
poetry is poetry herself, which remains the ungraspable phantom of
life-- the White Whale itself, immortal, immutable, and superior to
both the artist and critic, ultimately inaccessible, even to those who
created it:
Against long, dark clouds like a lonely torch,
A misty light, a late May misty night,
We hopped the fence, had a seat on the porch,
The windswept spray haloed the sweeping light,
She told me stories from the years before,
When they saw ghosts dancing within the waves,
Some friends on a blanket, down on the shore,
Watched the phantoms rise from their watery graves.
How beautiful she was, for I could see,
A sense of that profound romantic high,
We shared the wild mystery of the sea,
Knowing deep down all else would someday die.
The storm blew in upon the wicked wind,
Elements had never been more alive,
On nights like those are forged the ties that bind,
When in the black ye see a light yet strive.
Against long dark clouds like a lonely torch,
I found myself ten years on down the road,
In a culture with little left to scorch,
And I recalled how the thunder did explode,
I remembered the way the wind did howl,
How the sea roared with all inequities,
And yet the beacon gave no avowal,
A solemn sentinel above capricious seas.
A misty light, a late May misty night,
I find myself there, holding Misty tight.

That's the least astounding thing about it.
The most astounding thing about this book would have to be the story of
the poor editor trying to make sense of all the crayon marked brown
paper bags the author submitted as a manuscript.
Now that's a miracle.
