Why would I like to see him resign? First, he should not have been elected in the first place. As I had read several places, he is a jerk. In addition to that I would like to see him go because he is a force for political evil. He also has one thing that almost demands resignation: He has admitted to a lot of disgusting actions.
Why am I cautious? The same reason I call for reason and law in the case of Judge Moore. So far it has been trial by media and hysteria. As a member of the faceless masses I caution my fellow faces to stop reacting with mindless emotion. Stop condemning someone just because the media wants blood. If you get on a jury, listen to the evidence and give the verdict. If you have an opinion, share it. Never forget that we have rules and those rules are supposed to apply to everyone. We have laws against rape. We have laws that protect our physical person from unwanted touching and our mental person from verbal assault. Apply them.
Don’t join the lych mob. It doesn’t matter how nasty the victim. Remember,
(Proverbs 29:27 KJV) An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.The disgust goes both ways. Every exception to law breaks down the rule of law.
Having said that, I hope the guy crawls back under the rock that spit him out.

Agreed, an allegation is only an accusation, not a conviction.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see if the call for blood dies down on Franken after he resigns. That was the way it was in all the Republican cases.
DeleteGrace and peace.
