Actually, it's a little distasteful to see the outcry over a silly frat party years back, too, but we will have our PC, won't we? <br /><br />However, Jordan esp is probably the bravest man in the House, who founded the Drain-the-Swamp Freedom Caucus and is more Jimmy-Stewart (was it "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington?") than "shameless" and should NOT be on this list, as anyone not bending over backwards to set up false equivalencies, as are the authors of the piece, surely knows.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-54290272740349481282019-02-20T07:20:46.094-08:002019-02-20T07:20:46.094-08:00I sort of part ways here.

Harvey Silverglate and Philip Hamburger (among many others) have documented that all of us are now lawbreakers in the new administrative state--it's just a matter of selective political prosecution. Add in SJW demands, and we are all targets. As a result, I do not take any accusation seriously at face value--doubly so for anyone with an (R) after their name.<br /><br />Shame is being used as a tool to attack conservatives to demand that they, and only they, be held accountable to their highest standards.<br /><br />Since the application of standards is the biggest one-way street in US history, the public dignity thing has become a racket. Leftists can do no wrong, and conservatives are always guilty. Liberals that join conservatives get the full treatment.<br /><br />I support demanding the resignation of all three Democrat leaders in Virginia not because their behavior is unacceptable, but because the Left must be given the same treatment they dish out to conservatives or they will never stop the attack dogs. When people leading the mob get the guillotine themselves, and enough of them lose their career and reputation, then maybe the mob will simmer out. Until then, scrub your Internet accounts, and keep your head down.<br /><br />Real shame requires a real conception of honor, and I see almost nothing in public display I would consider capable of understanding honor.UbuMaccabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00237833458790876775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-59081834640494701792019-02-20T07:17:19.152-08:002019-02-20T07:17:19.152-08:00Sorry, but none of those mentioned has a duty to r...Sorry, but none of those mentioned has a duty to resign. They have committed no crimes, or at least have not yet been convicted of any, and they are due the presumption of innocence until they are. <br /><br />On the other hand, their situations say much more about the electorates that still ratify their behavior--sometimes overwhelmingly. America is a cesspool, and these people hold office because the voters are equally to blame. sestamibinoreply@blogger.com
