Consider the difference between a 36 year old accusation of attempted sexual assault involving two intoxicated minors that can't possibly be proven and Harvey Weinstein's disgusting casting couch escapades that was common knowledge for years amongst all of Hollywood and beyond. According to the liberal left, both deserve the same outcome.

I'm in full support of women having recourse against men who treat them as objects of pleasure and sick perverts like Weinstein should be surgically prevented, in addition to prison, from every repeating what he did.

But to allow the activist movement to be politicized, as is now happening, is to allow it to be made of little or no effect. I would think smart women like Feinstein and the accuser would perceive that but apparently their hatred for anything Trump outweighs the multitudes of women who could be spared sexual assault if the #MeToo movement was actually about protecting women.

I agree brother! In fact, her initial desire for anonymity was also probably a ruse. All this simply makes her case more believable. Pretty good strategy if I do say so. She is now infamous. Anyone who believes she was simply trying to get the truth out and somehow relieve some of her pain that has persisted over the years is very gullible.

Now she want the FBI to investigate before she will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

She's just a willing pawn for the Dems, a means to a greater end, and their feigned concern over her is a joke.

Now, that is a definite possibility, Lurker. But I have read another articles, this woman does not want to have it turned into a sideshow as with the Anita Hill testimony being example.

And what did she possibly hope to gain by submitting it if she didn't want it to become public knowledge at this exact moment in time? Closure? A shoulder to cry on? Come now.... think.

As far as I'm concerned, this woman's credibility is shot. That's not to say her account of what happened 36 years ago is false. Two people know and I actually tend to believe her. But the way her accusation became public knowledge at the last minute smells of political dirty work which I hate. Just another episode of the rotten state of affairs in our extremely polarized two party system. The swamp refuses to be drained.

The White House thinks it's a good idea.

This thought might be out there, but given the climate, and the "We'll do anything to get our Whitehouse back", has anyone considered a conspiracy here between two liberals to bring down a nominee that all are in fear of over the Roe vs Wade issue?

Knowing the extreme polarization that exists between the right and left, I have no doubt that the truth of this matter will never come to light. It'll just be turned into another bitter smear campaign that will hurt both the accused and the accuser.

Who would have thought ten years ago before Obama's "Fundament Change" campaign promise that things could go into the toilet so quickly with no hope it will ever get better but the certainty that it will continue to get worse. Granted, Trump is restoring some conservative objectives but that just serves to fuel the flames of polarization. What a mess.

Thirty six years ago. The accuser was 15 and Kavinaugh was 17.

Even if true, and it may well be, most teens, boys and girls, do stupid things especially after having a few beers and in the absence of adult supervision. That is not to excuse what may have happened but dumb kids do occasionally grow up to be responsible and honorable adults having turned from the misdeeds of their youth.

Problem is, Kavinaugh has denied the accusation so now there is no way forward for him but to continue the denial. Right or wrong, that's just the way it works in politics.

"Health care is a human right"
Now, how long it will take the Romish Church to get this through is anybody's guess...

Let's see here.... the RC apologist cites the parable of the Good Samaritan as a precedent for free government healthcare for all; a precedent dating back 2,000 years. So where is the evidence that the RCC lobbied the state governments through the dark ages to provide health care for the poor? Was it when they turned over dissenters to the secular authorities to execute them after torturing them themselves? Maybe it was when they demanded the secular governments to burn at the stake anyone who dared possess a bible in their own language?

And why isn't the RCC lobbying poor third world countries to provide free healthcare? No money, eh? Or maybe it's the west's responsibility to provide free health care for the entire planet. It's the logical conclusion.

Personality disorders, such as narcissim are more common that most people imagine.
Supposedly their are developed as a child and there is no cure for them? But, being born again from above will do.

I believe you're right about personality disorders being developed in childhood. One thing I did read once about narcissism is it is a disorder that is never treated. The reason? Those who have it believe they are normal and everyone else is messed up.

Good afternoon bro.Lurker,
A hearty Amen to your wise comment.
Trust you have been enjoying your family and of course spoiling the grand babies.

Yes, we had the two youngest grands visit for a couple days last week. They grow up so fast! But the trip is five hours and they aren't accustomed to such a long ride so it was a little hard on them. A little car sickness I assume from the car seats having to be backwards and they see everything moving away which is contrary to our senses.

My wife and I are looking into getting them a portable DVD player so they can watch movies while on the road. The concept worked well for our own children and we traveled a lot.

There will be no reforming that which God has already condemned. Luther learned that lesson 500 years ago.

I believe that Trump is an immoral buffoon and is in fact a liberal. IOW, I don’t believe that Paula White led him to the Lord.
The reason I voted for him was because I knew he would have to pander to conservatives because they were his base. In my mind, I thought that might result in one unborn life being spared. And, one would have been worth it in my mind.
Since Hillary was on the ticket had I not voted for Trump I would have stayed home.

I grew up and lived all my life in the shadow of an elder brother who is an extreme narcissist (thank God it didn't rub off on me) so I understand what drives a person like Trump. His entire worldview revolves around himself but he feeds off the praise of others and can't live without it. To that end, a narcissist will move heaven and earth to deliver on a promise... not because he necessarily believes in the promise but because of the praise that will follow.

Hi Lurker,...your wife is? I didn't know that. I'm gonna try hard to shoot you a quick email tomorrow to ask a question or two for whenever you have time to respond, and no rush at all, I know you're busy.

JaG,

Btw, your comment on the RC institution was so spot on.So many are
deceived by this rotten religion, that never was instituted by God, but was/is satans masterpiece.
Trust your family is well and you are enjoying your grandbabies.
Blessings dear brother.

We will hopefully be entertaining our two youngest grandchildren (6 and 22 months), and their parents, for a couple days later this week so we are pretty excited. They live 5 hours away. Had a list of honey dos to take care of in anticipation.

As for the RCC, thank God I was never part of it but my wife and her entire rather large immediate and extended family are and it is my constant prayer that God causes something to happen to open their eyes and call them out. But even this recent sex abuse revelation hasn't phased them in the least. It's going to take something much more drastic to wake a small remnant from their slumber.

The "devils diocese" is an apostate institution , governed by a false satanic system of anti-Christ authority,that teaches a false way of salvation...another Tower of Babel erected by man.
God has sent strong delusion to most, unaware that the "light" that is in them is actual darkness.
