No morals, you say? The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, article 11, reads: “Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.” In the United States, presumption of innocence follows from the 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments, and was fully established in the case of Coffin v. United States (1895). Yet I didn’t hear a single Democrat call for respect of Kavanaugh’s rights, even when Ford failed to produce any corroborating evidence for her inconsistent story and Kavanaugh provided significant evidence and witnesses of his character and his activities on the summer of the alleged incident. I wonder how many people here actually watched the proceedings before sounding off, rather than relying on biased media reports and talking heads? At worst, Republicans have a different set of morals; the key difference being Republicans can point to an authority for the source of the morals—I’m not aware of a source that Democrats look to for their moral guidance. It’s sure not the Bible or Christianity, or any religion I’m familiar with. Democrats saying Republicans have no morals is the pot calling the kettle black: a party that claims human life is so important that the death penalty should be abolished, yet fully endorses abortion in all forms, has a very difficult time making a credible claim of having morals. Liberals do whatever makes them feel good. That’s the only consistent guiding principle I’ve ever been able to identify.
My intuition would be telling me it’s time to get the hoses out of winter storage…
