And what about the women who initially fall for such a man, then regret it? For all we know, she found out he was like this, and was getting radical about it, and it scared her, so she got away with him with the child. He probably didn't seem this way when she met him. I probably would leave too, if I saw a man I once loved get extemely radical about something like he has!

This is how Hitler got started. Lenin, Castro, Stalin, Robespierre, more than likely got started like that, not to leave out Osama Bin Laden. It's not just Mr. Newdow himself, it's the fear that other radicals are waiting in the wings to join him if he should fail.

And no, I don't think he's going along with the views of the founding fathers. They at least respected other people's religion, and wanted to give them all the freedom to worship as they chose, and mention God if they chose. Many of them were Christians and even though they referred to God in a general sense, (the Creator, Providence, etc...) that's who they were talking about!

Anyone who comes in with the attitude of Mr. Newdow, trying to take away the rights of others, and claim the founding fathers views as theirs, and to twist our Constitution around to suit them, needs to be kept in their place. They are out of control, and going over the line! After all, if they succeed in doing this, we will definitely have a tyranny, and people like him wind up being dictators!

You may talk about homeschool mama like she is a feminazi nut, or you may call me a nut, well, so be it! But after all, we do still have a right to free expression, and free speech, as you do. You have a right to your beliefs, or non-belief. But atheists have their own religion too, and they don't have a right to force 'that' religion on others either!

Get real. Lots of women have children that are fathered by men they later realize they don't particularly like. That doesn't mean they can deprive the fathers of their children.

Regardless of how you feel about Michael Newdow personally, you have to admit that most men wouldn't uproot their entire lives to be closer to their children and most men wouldn't meekly pay nearly double their salary in child support. Michael Newdow, whatever else he may or may not be, is doing his best to be a good father under circumstances that would try the best of men.
