Rand Paul..Last man standing up for the right to remain innocent until proven guilty.

I am posting here my comments to a poster who responded to a different article. I cannot help but think of the Salem Witch Trials as I watch this play out from what President Trump calls the “Swamp.” Make no mistake. Rand Paul is a rare species in our age. Look no further if you want to know an honest statesman. He is it! I am so thankful he is getting better from the vicious and unexpected physical attack on him.

...”America is teetering on the brink of insanity.
We’ve been reading here in FR, and hearing on Conservative talk radio, for years, that the allegation is all that is needed to ruin or shut down an entity.
It is certainly a marvel the “they” have been successful in making sex, et al, the guiding darkness of our hour.

God’s most beautiful and sacred gift to man, for each other, blasphemed and roiled in the slime and mire.

2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”...

Yes. I just finished watching Sean Hannity’s show from last night. Now, I have given up all trust in whether good is going to triumph over evil in America. Sean gave a very clear explanation of the efforts now going on against conservatives and conservative thought in this country and says it stems from an outfit, funded lavishly by the very rich, the Clinton’s included. It is Media Matters for America and is run by Angelo Carusone. Sean says if you want to be introduced to him and his goals, you can find them at angelocarusone.com I wept when I heard Judge Jeanine’s assessment of this situation of Roy Moore. I do not know what he did or did not do. I did grow up in that era and, at that time, 16-17 year old girls were marriage age in the view of Southern Culture and many young women, including myself were pursued by older guys. Our parents approved if the guy had proven himself to be a solid citizen with an education and a job. He was especially respected if he had fulfilled a military obligation. I would offer to FreeRepublic readers the example of Elvis Presley who brought his girlfriend back to his home with the blessing of her military parents when she was only 14. He waited until she was a bit older to marry her. That was Southern Culture back then. I hate true pedophilia which is the forced abuse of real children under the age of consent and believe it should be prosecuted under the full extent of the law. I know that Judge Jeanine has vast prosecutorial experience, but I also have professional experience as a medical person with knowledge of personality disorders which come from working with and treating people with those various disorders and I can tell you, where that exists, people and, in my experience, mostly women, will do anything, even to seriously injuring themselves physically to get attention. The larger the scope of attention available, the better. This is why I think it is a travesty to simply ruin someone’s life based on accusations that play to political intrigue. One other thought. In the case of Harvey Weinstein and others, the accusers are mostly well known actresses recognized and trusted by the public. Also, from what we read, much of Hollywood was aware for years of Weinstein use of his power over women to abuse them sexually. In Roy Moore’s case, the fog of political wars are keeping us from seeing and knowing what is really going on. My loss of trust in Judge Jeanine is now up for grabs. Makes me very depressed for there are few public figures left to trust and admire. She was one of mine. I do not know what happened in the case of Roy Moore and I know that no one else does, either. The band wagon effect has taken over. Human nature will never change. I think most of us already knew that. It is just difficult to have to see it played out before our very eyes, knowing well what the outcome will be for our nation and way of life is evil is allowed to win.”

Sorry, but I cannot read your post, due to your lack of paragraphing.

Well said.

But formatting is your friend.

My wife of 30 years is 13 years younger than me. I was 31 she was 17. Her parents give us their blessing.

Today the conservatism as we know it died.

For God’s sake, Mary was only 16 when the holy Spirit made her with child.

So if 16 was fine with God back then, and He never changes (we do) then 16 is fine today.
