This story is a few years old, but I just came across it and it's still relevant because it illustrates yet one more danger of seeking permission for rights.

All the Moore Reasons

Roy Moore scandal in Alabama might slow Bannon’s insurgency, GOP leaders hope [More]
You know it. And it's the people who trusted him and who want their country back who will be hurt the most.

WaPo went to extraordinary lengths to jump on this story and to present the women at its center -- and their reasons for not coming forward sooner -- as credible. I suspect someone is digging into that to profile them and to reveal what was left out. I also suspect, perceiving more pay dirt, his enemies are already digging deeper and wider.

As an aside, I wish they'd put similar energy into Fast and Furious, instead of ignoring and then minimizing it.

As another aside, I see a lot of Moore apologists knee-jerk concluding this is a hit and smear job of no substance.  We need facts to do that. We need to be the ones who value truth above all else.

He either did it or he didn't. 

If we start seeing high-level defections from his camp, it could tell us the people closest to him have not been convinced his principles advance theirs. If he did it, there's no doubt he will have done tremendous damage to "the cause," and no one will be happier than the swamp creatures. He will deserve all that he gets and more, for past crimes and for inducing good people to follow him while knowingly exposing them -- and the country -- to such a catastrophic potential outcome.

If he did not do it, those saying he did should pay for it. In full.

This must be resolved.  Having it hanging over him throughout the campaign will mean one of two things: He will not do the right thing, or the liars will have succeeded.

I just don't see an alternative candidate stepping into this mess, meaning the only "good" way out is total vindication, and soon.

Chicago ‘Stop the Bleed’ Training an Admission of Failure to Stop the Violence


That’s actually not bad knowledge for everyone to have, along with CPR and other disaster preparedness training we could all benefit from. The issue here is it’s dealing with an effect, not a cause — and placing the blame on “gun violence” means the real issues will be ignored, the cycle will continue, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms will continue to be scapegoated.

To Continue with a Theme...

Republican Rep. Scott Taylor (Va.) called the GOP defeat in Virginia’s gubernatorial race a “referendum” on President Trump's administration on Tuesday. [More]
No doubt:

Hey GOA:

What the hell...?

The Media/RINO Alliance

“Even with Sen. Flake announcing his retirement and the whirlwind of media attention around Steve Bannon’s endorsement and visit, Kelli Ward has not seen any improvement in her support,” said Chuck Coughlin, a longtime Republican strategist whose HighGround Public Affairs conducted the independent poll released Tuesday. “The numbers continue to show that Ward is a flawed General Election candidate, and her nomination would likely result in a loss of the seat for Republicans.” [More]
It would seem "Metro reporter" Laurie Roberts is invested in Alinsky Rule 5 attacks on Ward. That and being a gun grab apparatchik.

And speaking of taking the high ground, it would appear that -- if you listen to them -- what Arizonans clamor most for on immigration is "dialogue" and "increased economic development."

All the pollsters were surprised in November, too. Including Highground, which just a few weeks earlier figured showed Hillary in the lead.

The intent, as we can see from the last post, is to continuously bombard those who want their country back with messages of political defeatism. It's no different in principle than the "pragmatic" gun "leaders" saying we have to throw bump stocks under the bus rather than hold the line, repel any who approach, and then advance.

By the same token, if most just say "Screw it" and stay home, the prophecy will come true.  My taxes just went up considerably because the damn fools where I live passed an unneeded (but intensely lobbied for) school bond levy by several hundred votes, while most who were eligible did not lift as finger to stop it and will no doubt be outraged and surprised when they get the bill.

The media is making a big deal and putting the spin on this because it's the media, and establishment Republicans would rather see Democrats win and "Trumpism" repudiated because they're establishment Republicans.
