On Judge Kavanaugh
Being a male, a conservative and a God-fearing American, I am described as a predator, a deplorable and the dregs of society. I am told to shut up! And stand up. I understand some men, but not all men, will take advantage of women because they are the stronger of the sexes. God made man to be the provider and protector of the female. This was by His design, but since the women’s lib movement and now the “ME TOO” movement, things have changed. I was taught to respect women and never take advantage of them or anyone else.
Things have certainly changed lately. Case in point: Brett Kavanaugh. Everyone will recognize that name. In the eleventh hour, a female from 35-plus or -minus years ago, when he was a teenager, accused him of sexual misconduct to derail his confirmation hearing vote. She can’t remember when, where or who was there, but she can identify Kavavaugh. Now the hearing date has been moved to accommodate the accuser, a typical desperate move by the democrats. If such zeal had been used against Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Keith Ellison and others of the party, things might be different, but they get a pass. Trump hate is alive and well in America. The democrats have forgotten to clean their own house and are too busy pointing fingers. But, that was before the Me Too movement. I don’t condone abuse on anyone, especially abuse to children or women. I will agree there are abusive men out there, but all men are not abusive. The allegations against Kavanaugh are weak to say the least. The Dems had this information supposedly since July and they used it now, for their advantage to delay Kavanaugh’s appointment. Now his accuser wants to be heard on her terms, that’s strange. She has been given a chance and a date. Something doesn’t pass the smell test. But with what I have seen lately from the republicans they will fold like a bad poker hand, no backbone anywhere. President Trump is the only one that has kept his word in making “American great again.”
I hope and pray justice will prevail. Regardless of the outcome, the sun will rise and set as usual.
