The old expression is, “Give ’em enough rope to hang themselves.”  But what happens if you give them enough rope to hang you?  The Democratic Party is cranking out false allegations like dime store novels.  The sad truth is they can keep going as long as the Republican Party allows this to continue.

The Senate can easily fix this by enacting a rule that only allows allegations that are accompanied by an adjudicated case with a guilty finding or a current police report.  

Without any legal finding, the Senate Committee acts like the law enforcement division.  When I was in the House of Representatives, I had to frequently remind myself and others of the limits of our jurisdiction.  The Senators need a job description to protect them from being turned into judge and jury of criminal cases, which is a mockery of a real court.

It’s exasperating watching the U. S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings! If Brett Kavanaugh is not confirmed, Trump should appoint someone even more philosophically conservative. Perhaps that will teach the game players to resist the urge to trash a decent person and give us some satisfaction in the end.

The U. S. Constitution does not require Supreme Court hearings. It requires a senate confirmation, but not the shenanigans, (i.e. non-germane questions, political grandstanding and disorderly conduct). Here are three reasons we should get rid of the confirmation hearings. Regardless of political outcomes, we should not lose heart.

It can be lonely out there! Lots of us have been trying to make a difference in our municipalities, states and our Country. Political activism works best when it’s fun…And it’s more fun when we’re joined by others who share our passion and vision for a better future.

It’s hard to believe these are grown adults when you watch people getting arrested at a public hearing for something that’s supposed to be dignified.  Many of the Democrat protesters are treating this hearing as if we were holding an election on whether abortion should be legal in our Country.

The party of the KKK, in favor of killing millions of unborn, Jim Crow Laws, Robert Byrd, sexual perversion, slavery and opposition to the Civil Rights Act now says one moderate Republican judge is an existential threat to our Democracy. 

Last week the United States Senate voted to continue funding abortion through Planned Parenthood.  Many of us have wondered, “What’s it going to take to save America?”  If all of us do whatever we can do, we could turn this Country around tomorrow.

The world says, “Tolerance is love”.  but that’s not true.  Tolerance is the opposite of love.  Tolerance is lazy apathy.  Love is sacrificial action.  A loving person would give a warning to our neighbors in a loving way.  Real truth is helpful.  If our neighbor’s house were on fire, would it be right to let it burn because we’re tolerating the smell of smoke?  As long as the fire doesn’t spread to my house, it’s none of my business?

There’s an old commercial that ends with the punch line, “It’s not nice to fool mother nature!”

Yet, that’s what we attempt to do all the time.

When it comes to medical technology, especially creating life and ending life, medical science definitely has a hand to play.  The question is where the moral line should be drawn.  What is the right public policy about how to end a life or surrogate motherhood or what to do with frozen embryos that nobody wants anymore?

Whether you have kids, grand kids or not, anyone who walks into a retail store will notice that everything screams, “Back to School!”  It dominates the calendar!

Every school year, like life, is full of both pleasant surprises and bitter disappointments.  I remember walking into my child’s school and being confronted with posters everywhere inviting the students to join the sexual perversion club.  Other clubs didn’t have posters plastered in every hallway, bathroom and on several lockers —  to assure that no students could be left unaware that this school offers this club!  We encourage what we celebrate. Instead of celebrating good character, we’re celebrating bad character.
