Excellent point, outstanding article and post.
Liberals believe sexual harassment is wrong. Liberals believe being respectful of women is sexist.
The liberal mind is a hobgoblin of consistency, indeed.
These people ignore multiple allegations of sexual abuse and instead focus their astronomical hatred on a man with strong beliefs.
These people will never, ever stop.
Billy Graham, IIRC, would never be alone with a woman other than his wife, to avoid any hint of impropriety.
Count me as one who thought Pence was a bit of a prude earlier in the year. But now that we have all the women chirping “me too” in the wake of the Weinstein sex scandal, I now realize the wisdom in Pence’s aversion to being alone with women other than his wife.
I have traveled with women co-workers. There are rules....
1) NO ALCOHOL !!
2) never meet in rooms, always the lobby.
3) never have dinner in a booth, only a table, preferably in the center of the room
Decades ago, those of evil intent and subtle means set out to destroy America by changing how men behave around women.
Hollywood was their primary medium.
Vice President Pence makes it clear that he is above reproach. He, and the “second lady”, walk the straight and narrow because of their faith AND because the filthy Left will seek out any small appearance of hypocrisy and exploit it.
It’s faith and self defense.
Ping
EXACTLY.
The first thing I thought of when the whole Weinstein thing broke. The same elitist people that mocked Pence are now having the whole sexual harassment issue blow up in their faces.
The fact that Pence is so aware of the possibilities of temptation also shows me that it is extremely unlikely that they are ever going to make any sort of credible scandal allegations against him, which is one of their modes of operation used by the left against any conservative politician.
It’s probably prudent move. Professional athletes should take note. However it sounds a bit like Calvinism.
If he can’t trust himself, why should I?
Pence appears loyal to Trump personally, but I’m afraid in this case we won’t know until it’s history. Pence will be the deciding factor should Trumps Presidency become imperiled.
Sounds nothing like Calvinism. It sounds like basic Christianity. Just listen to God:
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Matthew 26:41
How is a woman supposed to sleep her way to the top working for Pence? That’s why the liberals got in such an uproar.
Well I’m not a Calvinist and you guys have the freedom to believe what you want to believe.
The first two are completely sensible, but I have to admit that I don’t get #3. As long as it’s in a public place, what’s wrong with a booth? I’m not disagreeing with the rule, just asking about it.
Just compare the potted plant health in both men’s offices.
Chastity and prudence are features of any well-run life, irrespective of Calvinism. Chastity is the virtue of rightly ordering one’s sexual faculties according to one’s station in life. Prudence is the virtue of thinking things through and making smart choices according to the situation.
In Vice President Pence’s situation, “chastity” means he’s not going to pursue intimate relationships with women other than his wife. “Prudence” means that, among other things, he has to consider the fact that he’s being watched at all times, and that he could be the target of trolls.
As long as it’s in a public place, what’s wrong with a booth?
He or she can claim something occurred under the table.
