LSHMEAB Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Who the hell is gonna be left standing in today's current climate? I understand this has become a political game as the left is viewed/views themselves as the party of tolerance etc. This is bigger than partisan politics. I am staunchly opposed to the political proclivities of Brett Kavanaugh, but I was even more concerned about where we were headed. A 30 plus year old accusation of a tispy teenager maybe being a bit aggressive with a fellow teenager? Meh. This virtue signalling was always going to come back to bite the left in the a**. And here we are. I don't even feel comfortable voicing any kind of willingness to forgive Ralph Northam. The PC police will tar and feather anyone who dare take an opposing view. What about leaders 20 years from now with seemingly everything being recorded in one form or another? It's really gotten out of control and decent people need to start pushing back in any way they can before it gets even worse.

Welcome to the reason so many of us were against what was done to Kavanaugh. Go back and review the posts on his hearing - I can't think of a single person here who disagreed with his character assassination that disagreed simply because it was being done to a Republican. We saw what the precedent meant. Conversely, we're not celebrating the character assassination of Northam, so much as celebrating the Democrats being forced to drink their own milkshake. Maybe if they're forced to own their own *****, they'll reconsider their Jacobin ways. Probably not, though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 100 percent against the Kavanaugh character assassination and I'm quite sure I said as much in that thread. I also said something to the effect of "I never liked that kind of kid" which didn't go over well. I'm against all of this nonsense. I'm against University's not allowing conservatives to speak. Unless you murdered someone 30 years ago, it's time to forgive and forget. The truth is this thing is only going to get worse. I can also assure you that the backlash from the left for even suggesting this may have just been a stupid momentary lapse in judgement by Northam does not fly AT all among fellow lefties. They are doubling and tripling down on virtue signalling (stole that word from conservatives on this very site). You wanna judge every thing every person did at 15 or 25 or whatever; be prepared for your own time in the barrel. As soon as the whole #Metoo thing began and we(the left) decided that women lost their ability to lie in 2017, I knew it was gonna get ugly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was never any doubt in my mind that it would come back to haunt those who adopted such a stance. To go back a bit, it reminds me of the days when the left would take glee in the moral failings of preachers, etc. Hypocrisy is an ugly trait and this is a serious dose of medicine for folks who decided to get on board the smear and destroy train.

Believe the accuser. Not sure if you guys caught Kamala Harris today, man she seemed pained in saying "I believe her". It took everything she could muster for those words to come out of her mouth. But now that this is the position that her and the other Senate Judiciary Democrats decided to go with, as a leader which she is vying to be, she has to take a consistent stand.

Same sort of asinine belief in political purity tests over ability and the rule of law. And a lot of the idiocy the Jacobins pursued - e.g. renaming the calendar, which I mentioned earlier, to remove any religious references (the month of August became "Thermidor," for "really ***** hot") - you could easily see the American progressive movement pursuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
