Dems’ Double Standards

Posted
Editor, Times-Union:

When you have double standards, you have no standards at all. Democrats are infamous for this.

The Kavanaugh selection for Supreme Court justice has become a fight of double standards for Republicans and Democrats. With the woman who accused him of sexually assaulting her come out to admit she is the victim, I wonder why she didn't come forward years ago before the statute of limitations ran out. Didn't she think it was im­portant to stop him before he began his rise in judicial posi­tion?

Also, why didn't Sen. Feinstein come forward with the incriminating information in July when she was first notified? Now it looks like the accusations are just a weapon against someone who may move the Supreme Court more toward where it should be. Hopefully the strategy will backfire and Kavanaugh will be put on the court. Besides, if something that happened over 30 years before determined a person's fitness for office, Andrew Jackson might have never become president because he shot and killed someone who insulted his wife and John Adams defended the British soldiers that killed people during the Boston Massacre.





The Democrats defend their own even if they are involved with the deaths of people. Ted Kennedy was still admired even after Chappaquiddick. With all the women that John Kennedy was in­volved with, by today's #MeToo standards, he would have been thrown out of office early. Bill Clinton is still considered a wonderful president even though he raped at least one woman.

And let's not forget Hillary, who might have been responsible for Vince Foster being dead either at his own hand or at the hand of murderer. And let's never forget the criminal acts Hillary did as secretary of state and when she financed the dirty dossi­er to try and keep Trump from becoming president. Can we risk shutting down the investigations into criminal activity by Hil­lary, Obama, and people in the FBI and CIA by giving control of Congress back to the Democrats?

We fought against the Nazis because they were exterminating lives they thought were expendable. Today, Democrats have the audacity to believe God wants us to exterminate lives people consider expendable. I don't want to stand beside these Democrats during a thunderstorm for fear a lightning bolt will hit them and turn them into dangerous shrapnel.

Less than a century ago, Democrats used to lynch people they didn't like. That was evil back then. But the lynch mob mentality of the Democrats against Trump, who has done nothing worth prosecution, is considered morally right. Then again, Margaret Sanger thought she was mor­ally right to use abortion to prevent undesirables like blacks and Hispanics from reproducing. Sounds like racial hatred. Yet Democrats think the holocaust of the unborn is a right.
