Time To Smear Kavanaugh's Good Name...

[Mountain Man]

Text from my wife:

They are trying to rip Kavanaugh apart over his high school year book and what he wrote in it... What is the world coming to? Why are they judging him over this stuff? No one will ever pass that kind of scrutiny!

Smart lady. Did I mention she's my wife?

You married "up", too, eh?

You did read how MM did sum up the part I quoted? He said: "In other words, "I can't remember the details, but I will never forget the details."" http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...l=1#post578930

MM is clearly making it seem as if different details are the same details. Or how would you explain it (and your accusations are not explanations, don't forget that)?

MM's statement is something of a reductio ad absurdum, but there ARE a host of details which she can't remember.

Yes, sir. I tell people that I flatter myself when I say I married my intellectual equal, because she's way the heck smarter than me.

That is the not so charming part about a situation like this that we can all twist and turn our interpretations in order to make it fit in with what we want to believe. Tears can show someone is honest and human or they can show he is a sissy boy depending on how you would like to take it.

Did you ever think there would be a time I would unironically agree with you?

But that does not mean that there are not other details she actually could remember (details about the sexual assult (if it actually did happen)). I would not expect anyone who had experienced that to remember all of the more trivial details. MM tried to mix things up in order for there to be a contradiction. There is no contradiction. Whether what she says is right or wrong, I don't know. But she did not contradict herself on that part and making it seem so is unfair.

It has happened before. (Still worries me a bit )

[Sparko]

my summary so far:

Ford's turn:
Republicans - good questions from prosecutor, trying to get details of event to help determine truth
Democrats - "you are so brave, we believe you! we don't need an investigation to know you are telling the truth!"

Kavanaugh's turn
Republicans - yelling at the democrats for their games, agreeing with Kavanaugh
Democrats - "we need an FBI investigation to find out the truth!"

I'll try not to make a habit of it.

It might just be me, but gosh these C-Span videos are hard to get to the right place when I miss some of the live stream.

Wow, Lindsey Graham is showing some spine and calling the Dems out!

I honestly never thought he had it in him.

Go away, pharisee, and spread your self-righteous manure somewhere else. You're stinking up the place.

so sad. Suggesting someone show a person blah blah blah

There is a vein within Christianity that has become angry, mocking, vindictive, and more interested in hate than love. It is essentially the same vein that has lined up behind Trump and cheers him on. It is not all of Christianity. Fortunately, I do not think it even represents most of Christianity. But it is present and it's mind is very closed. Perhaps it is "militant" Christianity? It aligns with the Jesus of the money changers and ignores the Jesus of the Sermon on the mount. My experience is that it will not be swayed, and it will cling to its anger and hostility.

I do not think quoting scripture to them is going to accomplish much of anything, as MM's response would suggest. I respect you calling it out, but I suspect the effort is futile.

I feel no anger, vindictiveness, or hate. Whoever sold you those mind-reading pills ripped you off.
