Bingo.
Rush makes me laugh when he uses the term ‘White Comedian Paul Shanklin!”. Each time I hear it, there is the default reaction of a tiny shock. “Gasp!..Did he say WHITE Comedian?” Then I know that it doesn’t matter. Many of us have become far too sensitive to hearing any racial description that is not of ‘approved minority in the victimhood hierarchy’.
BO on an island with 54 men? My imagination runs wild. Moochy is probably undergoing counseling for the gender transition.
Once, after a meeting, I innocently volunteered to drive an acquaintance home since his ride couldn’t make it. He declined saying that he never allowed himself to be alone with a woman to avoid the chance for even a hint of impropriety.
I thought it was really wise.
A politician, especially in this day and age with the lying rabid msm, it’s imperative to not leave anything for the gossip mongers.
Mrs. Mountain and I always sit on opposite sides of the table when we're "out", even in a group. We take that "watch your back" bit both literally and figuratively.
Bill Hybels, my former pastor at Willow Creek Community Church in suburban Chicago, has more than once said from the pulpit that he recognizes how much more ‘attention’ Christian leaders get from Satan and his demons than us ‘ordinary’ folks.
He wasn’t bragging; instead, he was commenting on how on guard he needs to be 24/7 - to the point that he wouldn’t have a meeting with a woman in his office unless there was a female staff member present or sitting outside his open office door. He wouldn’t even ride in a car with an unaccompanied woman.
So, I say, ‘Good for Mike Pence and his wife.’ They obviously have a strong marriage that is steeped in their shared faith in Jesus, and recognize temptation and ways to avoid it.
I have an “open door” policy.
Which is to say I never meet with anyone behind a closed door unless it’s a group.
If only more politicians were more aware of situations they put themselves in. The cry ‘nothing happened’ would be more believable.
I thought I heard the Rev. Billy Graham had a similar policy, of not meeting alone with women. I’ve heard of other people also being careful about being alone with the opposite sex.
Concepts of people gossiping, and that people might succumb to temptation, are things to think about. Sounds like Mike Pence is doing just that. Why would anybody be critical of wanting to be sure of not being fodder for gossip, and taking positive steps to be faithful in a marriage?? Where the heck are these critics coming from on this??
I doubt it very much.
He’s not just wise, he’s very wise.
When he was starting his ministry Billy Graham had an advance team that would enter hotels where he was going to stay to make sure that no women were hiding in the rooms or lurking about.
At the time that probably seemed weirdly paranoid. But given some of the scandals that have occurred, extremely wise in retrospect.
No one should pay any attention to these idiots
This is not because he doesn’t trust her or even that he doesn’t trust himself.
He probably does this for the same reason Billy Graham wouldn’t even get on an elevator alone with a woman other than his wife.
It is to remove ANY occasion for tongues to wag in scandal, or to prevent even an APPEARANCE of impropriety.
It is a VERY sensible and appropriate policy, and protects his wife, his marriage, and himself from scandal.
If he chooses Choice A, the Left would criticize him.
If he chooses Choice B, the Left would criticize him.
The moral of my story: No matter what any Republican or Conservative does, the Left will criticize him.
I could not have said it any better
They do this because it’s not about any one issue.
It’s strictly about maintaining a state of chaos and agitation, with the ultimate goal being to regain and maintain power.
I couldn’t agree more.
Well said.
