Craig Scandal Reveals Double Standard

2 Comments

we allow the double standard

YES, there is a double standard, but the reasons such standards exist and carry so much influence are reflective of two realities.

First and foremost, the people are compromising principle, and are no longer willing to take a stand. The very reasons why these compromising attitudes are present give a very intricate focus for not only what it is that is wrong, but also reveals the path and destination of individuals, our freedoms, and the nation we used to love. The solution for these losses is not political, but principled conduct, and therein is the catch 22.

When this double standard is employed by those in political position, the laws which develop have no teeth. This band-aid approach joyously creates the appearance of solution within a reality which carries no sincere resolve. Those who govern have the complicit approval of the majority who are no longer involved in the process to sustain one standard. Principled conduct by the citizens of this nation would force those in political meanderings to be honest. Those in the media, who offer twisted visions that do not represent the basic truth of a principled people, could no longer survive in their filthy river of bias and, once again, the premise of principled conduct would sustain itself. All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. (Edmund Burke) All that is required for established principles of goodness to continue is a community of people that comprehends exactly what will be lost if they do not adhere to principle. Anything less is a double standard which will, inevitably, destroy every good principle upon which this nation was founded.

Larry Craig may not be a gay person

Larry Craig may not be a gay person and in fact I have much more respect for gays than for what Mr. Craig is and that is a PERVERT, a good ole pervert who does believe he is not gay but likes to live on the dark side and take chances in men's rooms. He is far worse because because he is playing games and tries to use his power position and tax payers money to play them. Now he is reconsidering his resignation, well I say bring it on and let the real truth come to light Senator Pervert. Let's go back in your history and dig up everything that can be found and I have read that there is a lot of dirt that could surface. Let's just see just how perverted this guy is? Personally I have had enough of the hypocracy of the religious right and the discredited obstructionist GOP. God save us from this disgusting bunch of monsters and perverts, including Rep Foley and Sen. Vitter, good examples I might say of all this group of guys has to offer as they bow to our murderer & chief. I feel touched by slime just writing this, excuse me why I go bath to remove the stench of the GOP from me.
