The old play book of the Democrats

Sound familiar? Come in at the last minute with a "witness." Kavanaugh wasn't the first, and he won't be the last. It's the Democrat play book. Demand more witnesses. Now they are desperate--have to bring Trump down before the election because they can't win by voting.

"In 1991, President George H.W. Bush nominated Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. His confirmation hearings would test his character and principles in the crucible of national controversy. Like the Bork hearings in 1987, the Democrats went after Thomas’ record and his jurisprudence, especially natural law theory, but also attacked his character. When that failed, and he was on the verge of being confirmed, a former employee, Anita Hill, came forth to accuse him of sexual harassment. The next few days of televised hearings riveted the nation. Finally, defending himself against relentless attacks by the Democratic Senators on the committee, Thomas accused them of running “a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas.” After wall-to-wall television coverage, according to the national polls, the American people believed Thomas by more than a 2-1 margin. Yet, Thomas was confirmed by the closest margin in history, 52-48."

On this day in 1991

April 29— "A municipal court judge today convicted 15 abortion opponents of criminal trespass for forcing their way into a doctor's office where an abortion was to be performed, but in his ruling said that human life begins at conception and described legal abortions as "legal executions." "

Nothing has changed. Millions have died in these legal executions since then, and millions are still fighting. In that at case, the guilty were more invested than I am with my little, irritating posts on Facebook and once a week serving at a clinic that saves babies. One of those accused was the father of the baby, Alex Loce, a 28-year-old X-ray technician from Queens. I'm assuming Mr. Loce and his fiancee broke up over this (abortion almost always ends the relationship either because of guilt or disagreement because over 60% of the woman are forced to "choose" between the baby and the father). Maybe today she thinks about what her 26 year old son or daughter might have become and what the grandchildren might look like. Some of today's strongest anti-abortion fighters today had abortions when they were young.
