In almost forty years of broadcasting and writing, I’ve spent a lot of time tracking the fates of the Republican and Democrat parties. In recent years, the main conservative thirsts have been for a more muscular and unapologetic conservatism and for the bright light of truth to be directed onto the darkest habits of modern leftists.
The election of Donald Trump has propelled us down a road featuring satisfying helpings of both. But on one stunning day, September 27, 2018, there arose Republican resolve like nothing in recent memory. The accompanying reputational suicide of several key Democrats tied a bow around a historic day for clarity.
The occasion was the totally unnecessary session of testimony by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his main accuser of sexual misbehavior, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. The occasion was needless because Dr. Ford’s story in no way rises to the level of credibility to dislodge the nomination.
No decent society smears people for life based on high school misbehavior, so even if the wholly unsupported story were true, there would have been a strong argument against its relevancy today.
As such, the rhythm became: five minutes of Ms. Mitchell poking through questions of fact and memory, interrupted by five minutes of Democrat grandstanding. Then five more minutes of Ms. Mitchell seeming to inch closer to a salient point, only to be buzzered by the need to recognize the next round of Democrat fawning and prattling.
..snip..
But as soon as Judge Kavanaugh completed his opening statement, it became clear what the afternoon matinee would contain: Republicans showing more spine than they have in years, accompanied by Democrats making total asses of themselves.

Marxist DemocRATs are proving, by their actions, to be a tremendous asset to the WalkAway campaign and they are a huge asset in getting out the GOP base for the midterms on November 6th. Keep it up Kamala Harris, Sparactus Booker, DiFi, Schmucky Schumer, Sheila Jackson Lee, Madd Maxine, et al. Show the world what diabolical and evil, power-hungry, corrupt schmucks you all are. One has to question if there’s one functioning brain among all of them put together.
Yes, thanks for the illuminating citation.
For everyone bashing Grassley please recognize that the gentle handling of a straight up nuts left wing loon let the public see the unmasked venom and dangerously deranged agenda of the Democrats. They still this morning have not put their masks back on. The crazy is sitting on the front porch with a cocktail in its hand.
“One has to question if there’s one functioning brain among all of them put together.”
I have my doubts about that.
You forgot Sheldon $hithouse and Chris the Cocoon!
The lying media (all of it) and the dems have virtual control over the airwaves.
It would happen even without any cooperation, and even with full exercise of power re the GOP.
No, it is is much more effective to let out the line, let the dems get in their best shots, and then effectively and with no wiggle room completely expose them for what they are, in front of the whole world.
This whole thing was made up of whole cloth, and now the entire nation knows it, and knows the lowlife perpetrators' first and last names, and watched them make fools of themselves pushing a total fabrication for political purposes.
Spineless weasels republicans, and I dare say, some fence sitting dems, have had the blinders lifted, and in a spectacular way.
This is the proper way to fight and win.
have a very public hearing, and allow the dems to show the world that they have nothing, zero, as ideas, and resort to character assassination and outright lies to push their agenda.
It makes all their other arguments that much weaker, down the entire line.
This November is going to be glorious, as well as the next six years.
I am looking forward to see the ramifications for the next few decades I might be sucking air.
In 2012, Romney named BK as prominent on his list of candidates should he become president. The demonrats leave nothing to chance. They have prepared this Blasey female going back to 2012.
Demonrat voters enjoy being lied to by their rulers.
I want to shake Lindsey Graham's hand. He brought it all home.
Understood.
Interestingly enough, I listened to the woman testify on the radio, without the visual distraction. She came across to me as coached, insincere, and the vocal inflections in her voice seemed affected and not real.
By the time I’d gotten home, Judge Kavanaugh was on; I watched him closely, and he was defending his life’s work, his family, and himself as vigorously as anyone who has been falsely accused.
The democrats need to pay for this farce. That it’s STILL going on today is beyond ridiculous. Those assh*les must have stayed up all night scheming on how to monkeywrench this.
They are not only despicable, but truly the worst thing this country has ever seen.
“..One has to question if there’s one functioning brain among all of them...”
Maisie Hirono has got to be one of the most moronic, idiotic, stupidest human beings on the planet. Combine that with her arrogant, vitriolic man-hatred, it’s a thoroughly unpleasant package that’s difficult to stomach.
She makes Nancy Pelosi look like a nice ol’ granny by comparison...
Freepers always do this
Ten years ago
Bush knows what he’s doing
It’s all going to be fine
Not again buddy
The GOPe kissed Fords ass
And if not for the few stalwarts I applauded and Kavanaugh we would have lost it
Lord I thought I would vomit if I heard them continue with kissing her butt
The usual from squishy Mark Davis. I marvel that he has been able to keep an audience willing to listen to his pablum.
If you told me last week that Lindsay “I found my balls!” Graham would be the one to drop a weapons-grade “GFY!” on the RATS, I’d have laughed til I passed out.
This is truly amazing!
——the main conservative thirsts have been for a more muscular and unapologetic conservatism-—
Although the subject is the actions of senators and the hearings, I found this comment to be exceptionally on the mark. In the venacular, Mark nailed it. The thought was precisely on target yesterday on the hearing live thread.
Many Conservative Freepers can not and pretty much never look beyond what can be considered very narrow views of everything. They were continuously critical of almost all of the proceedings.
It is because of such we do not have a full democracy. The Athenians learned the their chagrin that when narrow minds prevail, the state fails
This is not a crtitque of the conservative universe, far from it. By always being agin, conservatives can not gather in adequate number to be for and thus to prevail
I forgot about the Romney list. Thanks for reiterating that.
