From the playground to geopolitics, appeasing an aggressor invites only more aggression. This timeless truth of human nature is one that we moderns can’t seem to accept. We reflexively assume that a rational accommodation or concessions will be reciprocated by those proven to be ready to use any means necessary to achieve their aims, no matter how amoral, unfair, or vicious. Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court illustrate that this false assumption leads only to more demands, and ultimately to defeat.
The last-minute accusations from Christine Blasey Ford, a woman who claims that decades ago Kavanaugh groped her at a high school party, and Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a frat party at Yale, are transparent acts of aggression against the judge and Republicans, one engineered by the Democrats.
Senator Dianne Feinstein sat for months on Ford’s letter and then––just as the Dems did in 1991with Anita Hill’s charges of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas’s during his hearings––released it only when Kavanaugh appeared to be heading for confirmation. Feinstein still hasn’t given the Judiciary Committee an unredacted copy of the letter. A few weeks after Ford went public, and after Kavanaugh said he had dairies from that summer detailing his whereabouts, The New Yorker published Ramirez’s account of a drunken party filled with obscene drinking games where he exposed himself to Ramirez.

Their cowardice has become unacceptable.
Stand up for principle. Confirm Judge Kavanaugh.
Confirm Him!
And they’re waiting for what, exactly?
Ford is about as likely to show up as Godof.
I meant Godot.
We Win, they lose!
It’s way past time to face the truth in that this is a war of good against evil. Evil has been exposed and we know most of the names and they belong to the Marxist Left.
I think they are making sure they have the votes.
So email Collins, Flake, Cornyn, Murkowski and Manchin and tell them to vote yes.
Dear Senator Grassley - enough is enough - schedule the vote for Friday.

Done.
Pubbies best pay attention!
In 1945 F.A. Hayek dedicated his classic The Road to Serfdom Readers' Digest Condensed Version (in PDF format) “To the socialists of all parties.” And if all parties were socialist, certainly the Democrat Party is such now.I put it to you that the best definition of socialism is “naiveté towards government rationalized by cynicism towards society.” Emphatically including against anyone who opposes socialism.
IMHO “cynicism” is well defined as “the conceit that ’negativity is objectivity.’” Journalists know that they are negative - that “If it bleeds, it leads” - and yet they claim to be objective. This is my explanation for the fact that journalists promote socialism - journalists are cynical about society, thus naive about government, thus natural socialists. And that explains the propaganda assault on the character of Brett Kavanaugh. It would not be happening if journalism were not cynical.
And journalism would not be (as) unified if not for the continuous virtual meeting which is the Associated Press “wire."
They are obeying their true masters: Wall Street, K Street, Chamber of Commerce, the Democratic National Committee.
They are RINOs, and are vastly rewarded for pretending to be conservatives while failing to enact any truly conservative agenda.
They must be passive to maintain any semblance of camouflage in order to effectively remain the COP: Controlled Opposition Party.
If Kavanaugh is confirmed, and if the RNC (there is no GOP) retains both Houses, it will be despite their best efforts to allow the DemoKKKrats every illicit maneuver.
We still have Obamacare.
We still have no Wall.
THEY ARE CALLED R.I.N.O.S FOR A REASON!!
