Defining Incest and rape as consensual sex is not a great political platform from which to run a country. Banning birth control, demeaning minorities and the poor, polluting the environment all in the name of the Prosperity Gospel makes even less sense.
Only a depraved society would forgive and forget such affronts against humanity and their creator. That is your Republican Party today. Their slogan: “You better love being abused and you better forgive it.”
My eldest son was wrestling from 9th grade on… and it was not a small town high school, but quite large.
Note the date: that’s from three days ago, and it’s still up that way. FFS.
The AP went into the toilet as a news source quite awhile back.
Proving once again that it’s rarely the crime, it’s the cover-up.
Illinois is having the veil ripped off. The religious fanaticism, the weak kneed Governor and their hometown hero being what they fear the most.
Like Sandusky, I’m sure that other people knew about Hastert but chose to look the other way or to assist in the cover-up. I’d take a long hard look at where all of the money wound up.
And deserves a good flush!
I wish journalists would do their homework and revisit 2006 and focus on what closeted gay Republicans were saying about Hastert in light of the Foley mess. Hastert’s homosexuality is an open secret among Republicans. I suspect his wife knows better than anyone about her husband’s sexuality.
Can we also revisit 2007 through 2010 as members of Congress watched investment portfolios balloon while the rest of us lost jobs and retirement value? Hastert was no beacon of virtue. He certainly benefited financially from public policies he supported.
