On Thursday the media went wild over the allegations that Roy Moore, who is running for the open Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, has been accused of sexual misconduct with minors some 30 years ago. Republican leaders also jumped on the news calling for Moore to step aside.
I have absolutely no idea if Moore is guilty or not and neither does anyone else except Moore himself.
What I do know is that “innocent until proven guilty” has been sent to the heap pile. With 24 hour media, reporting whatever they want, the accused is found guilty before he/she even reaches the court house. Once the media and others are done, the outcome of the actual trial doesn’t even matter, the accused’s life is ruined forever.
So many people are so quick to jump to conclusions. If the allegation(s) meet with their political view then they are ready to convict. As I like to say, don’t let the truth get in your way…
I look at this and ask myself, “how did this man win so many elections and hold so many offices over so many years without this coming to light?” It’s difficult for me to wonder if this is another made up story coming from the left because Moore is leading and there is only a month to go. Is this the left’s last ditch effort to kill Moore’s chances? It is certainly a possibility and wouldn’t be a first. At the same time, if found guilty, put this sick man in jail and throw away the keys. The key word here is “if.”
At any rate, Moore’s career and reputation is over. To all those who jump to conclusions I would invite you to think about this and what it would mean if you were accused, how would you feel? Of course, we are nobodies and wouldn’t be on the 24/7 media hate group’s radar. Thank God.
Follow-up – Moore loses race – 12.13.17
I want to follow-up on the earlier post regarding Roy Moore. The post was more about people being accused and the loss of being innocent until proven guilty. Never the less, Moore lost the election and this shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. The trial of public opinion killed his election hopes. This gives you an idea of how powerful public opinion can be, whether true or not. None of us know for a fact what Moore did or didn’t do and I am certainly not going to make a case for him one way or the other. I must say that I still question the timing of the allegations though. Unlike so many, I refuse to just blindly believe everything I read. Moore’s loss means nothing to me personally and from afar I will say he wasn’t all that impressive to me, he actually gave me the creeps to be honest. That’s just another personal opinion. I don’t know the man.
What I find amazing is all of the hype out there today from the left claiming this is a sign of more to come (Republican’s losing) in the 2018 mid-terms.
If ever there was a one-off election this one in Alabama is it. The Democrats are declaring a great victory which makes me laugh. They won the election against a Republican opponent who was accused of sexual misconduct with children and to top it off, the Democrat Jones won by one point. One point against an accused child molester, one point. How on earth they can spin this into being some great victory is beyond this humble writer.
Is this the new Democratic election road map? Accuse the other side of sexual misconduct? Why not, they’ve been running on the “war on women” now for years. Of course that hasn’t worked but why stop now?
To end, I would just say; what times we live in… put up a tent because we’re witnessing the greatest show on earth.
