Campus extremism is taking control of the Senate (Corey Booker's a dam nuisance)
NYPOST.COM ^ | Oct 5, 2018 | OP-ED

Posted on 10/05/2018 3:57:31 AM PDT by Liz

The Kavanaugh confirmation hearings witnessed how college values have become the norms of the Senate.....constitutional due process vanishes w/ accusations of sexual harassment. There was little requirement of corroborating testimonies, witnesses and what used to be called physical evidence. In contrast, Kavanaugh was considered guilty from the start. He had to prove his innocence.

The university's belief in the postmodern idea of relativist truth....all narratives are equally valid. .... so that powerful victimizers supposedly “construct” truths based on their own self-interests. ..... self-described victims are under no obligation to play by what they consider to be rigged rules of facts, evidence or testimony.

This dynamic underlines NJ Democrat Sen Cory Booker's insistence that Ford told “her truth” ...... evidence was not so relevant. Also on the campus, the race and gender of people now increasingly determine who we are.Republican senators were repeatedly written off by critics as “old white men”. Kavanaugh was assumed guilty for once being a privileged white kid of 17 who had gone to a prep school. Cory Booker, not being old and white, was considered a credible senatorial examiner. The elderly Blumenthal's progressive politics held sway, much less for being a serial fabricator who concocted false stories of being a Vietnam veteran.

Swarming and shouting down those who hold different views in order to shame and intimidate them is part and parcel of the modern university. Now we are seeing such campus street theater in Congress. During a break in the hearings, female protesters cornered Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) in an elevator and screamed in his face. The psychodrama worked — just as it usually does on campus. Their creed is now beginning to run the country, which is frightening.

Every single part of this goes away if the President would get and release all the information pertaining to the $17,000,000, that the US Taxpayer has shelled out-without their permission, to cover for dirty politicians.

Dr Sebastian Gorka describing the Obamas also applies here:
"They don't believe in objective truth. They're post- secular modernists.
They believe in cultural relativism.......that all cultures are equal.....
except America, which (in their minds) is worse than everybody else."

========================================

ANALYSIS The spoken truth is what THEY say it is.....it must be stripped of any concept of 2000 years of man's knowledge of right and wrong. 2008 candidate Obama’s calm cool voice of reason was supposed to prevail. Remember when Obama calmly assured America that once he was elected all Mideast “hostilities” would cease. A confident Obama would make sure America was once again “respected” around the world. And who could forget Obama’s “Arab Spring” when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?

2012 Ohaha used the same conniving 2008 strategy patented by PR honcho Anita (Mao) Dunn---to manipulate voters, to downplay his hady bgrnd, his destructive policies ....and his scary plans for his next term. Remember, Dunn said back then, that THEY and only THEY decided what the media and the voters should know about 2008 candidate Ohaha.

The strategy is to play the innocents---the "don't worry--we're harmless.....all of you are guilty b/c we say so."

Everybody better get a grip. The man is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT OF LAW!

Think first.

A Georgetown Professor’s Castrating Rage: The face of leftist academic hate
FrontPageMag ^ | October 5, 2018 | John Perazzo
FR Posted by Mr. Mojo

Taking her place among the gaggle of leftists who have felt compelled to broadcast their opinions regarding the sexual-abuse allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, Georgetown University Associate Professor Carol Christine Fair has weighed in on the matter numerous times in recent days. By any measure, Fair ranks as one of the more overtly angry and unrestrained of Kavanaugh’s critics.

Professor Fair’s reflexive rage may stem, in part, from the tragic fact that in her youth, as she has previously disclosed, she was repeatedly molested by an uncle for about a decade. When Christine Blasey Ford went public with her unsubstantiated, uncorroborated allegation about an event from 36 years ago, Fair promptly used her Twitter and Tumblr accounts to characterize Judge Kavanaugh as a “rapist” and “perjurer,” and to depict Republicans generally as “a fu**ing death cult” of “filthy swine” who are “pro-rape, pro-pederasty, pro-perjury, pro-corruption, pro-Russian hacking, pro-child trafficking, pro-white male supremacy, pro-VERY-late-term abortion of children with AR-15’s.” She also characterized Trump voters as “Trumpanzees,” and she described their pro-Trump “MAGA” hats as “socially-acceptable Klan hoods.”

After watching Republican senators defend Kavanaugh in the televised hearing last week, Fair tweeted: “Look at [this] chorus of entitled white men. All of them deserve miserable deaths while feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes.”

Fair later told the website Heavy.com: “This [Trump] regime is hell-bent upon disenfranchising women, POC [people of color], non-Christians, LGBTQI and empowering a larger role for corruption in our governance…. This is only the beginning of fascism in America.”

Not surprisingly, Fair has a long history of raging intolerance for those who may disagree with her on political matters. In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential election, for instance, she spent a full month posting Twitter attacks against a Muslim ex-colleague, Asra Nomani, who had voted for Donald Trump. In her tweets, Fair called Nomani a “wench,” a “fraud,” a “fame-mongering clown show,” and the equivalent of a “fu**er” in her native Urdu. In a tweet dated November 22, Fair told Nomani: “I’ve written you off as a human being. Your vote helped normalize Nazis in DC.” Two weeks later, Fair wrote a profanity-laced “open letter” to “Nomani and her Trump-supporting ilk,” which culminated with the capitalized sentence, “FU** YOU, GO TO HELL.”

In October 2017, Fair launched a personal blog titled “Tenacious Hellpussy: A Nasty Woman Posting from the Frontlines of Fu**ery.” The blog’s motto is, “Cun*y women get sh** done.” Fair also adopted a new mug shot for her Twitter account: an image of Russian President Vladimir Putin riding a naked, half-pig creature with Donald Trump’s face.

Lamenting that it is impossible to “effect change by using the normative language expected of someone with a PhD,” Fair routinely uses obscenities and other incendiary language as expressions of defiance against America’s “systematic rape culture” and its effort to “discipline our rage.” In a September 2018 blog post justifying her profanity as “sacred,” she wrote: “I will not discipline my voice, my words, or my body. I will refuse to conform to your rules which are designed to constrain me like a corset for your convenience and comfort. I will not respond to this war on women decorously…. I will fight this war asymmetrically. I will use the vernacular it demands.”

Professor Fair is a highly instructive personification of the modern Left: raging, hateful, intolerant, closed-minded, self-righteous, and driven entirely by emotion that is impervious to reason. Moreover, she embraces the corrosive tenets of identity politics, reflexively – and proudly – viewing white men as a whole with the deepest measure of contempt. If you want to know what a leftist looks like, just look at Carol Christine Fair. —snip—

BOOKER'S FAMOUS LAST WORDS (just before he got voted out of the Senate and became a Uber driver).

"We're sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives manipulating everything we do."

“”We’re sick and tired of the Constitution sitting in the National Archives manipulating everything we do.””

My response is “we’re tired of pieces of worthless $hit like you being elected to the US Senate!” Go back to the lands of your ancestors, you will fit right in!
