Text of the page (random words):
owever i also say this as a woman who on occasion has been groped or touched in inappropriate ways by men or boys who did not have my consent for same and yet didn t feel i had the right to object i may have jumped away or yelped or even tried to laugh it off depending on the circumstances and to be very clear i was luckily never harmed physically but i was made to feel like an object and it was and is belittling and demeaning in hindsight i regret not objecting and not making it clear that this was not okay for two reasons first because i believe many men if they realized how it made women feel would not engage in such behavior particularly not if they thought of it in terms of their mothers sisters wives or daughters second because those men who simply don t care how it makes women feel should not be given a pass most importantly i say this as the mother of a fourteen year old girl and quasi step mother to sixteen and eighteen year old girls and aunt to seventeen and twenty one year old nieces i adore all these young women beyond belief and i don t ever want any of them to think that it s okay for someone else to touch them without their consent or to belittle or demean them by treating them as anything other than the dear beautiful souls they are so let s be crystal clear on this kissing a woman or touching her private parts without her consent is not okay bragging to others about having done so is not okay giggling with others over your intent to do so is not okay and if you wish to be a nation s leader if you wish to have millions of people including women place their trust and faith in you to set the tone and steer the course for our country saying what donald trump said is not okay but it was 11 years ago some exclaim yes it was setting aside that trump was a 59 year old married man at the time who hadn t the slightest compunction about sharing with others his heavy pursuit of a married woman nancy o dell that still isn t long enough ago to excuse him from issuing a full throated apology and repudiation of the comments which he hasn t done nothing in his statements about it since indicates he has the slightest clue as to why his comments were inappropriate only that he knows others were offended by them bill clinton has said and done worse others point out yes though we don t appear to have handy audio or video of quite such a crude comment or of his acknowledged indiscretions or alleged improprieties i m willing to accept that it s extraordinarily likely that he has but nothing bill clinton has said or done excuses trump does the fact that many have elected to give bill a pass and or to deny that any all of his alleged malfeasance actually occurred exhibit an ugly double standard yes it most certainly does if you re willing to give one person a pass for the same thing for which you re condemning another purely because the political party affiliation of the former aligns with yours you re being a disingenuous hypocrite and i have to acknowledge that i m guilty of that i voted for bill clinton twice though that was before most of his bad behavior was known and i ve even recently mused that i might be more willing to vote for him than either donald or hillary i was only half serious as that s virtually an impossibility but i was wrong to do so even if it was to make a point the fact remains that bill clinton s bad behavior whatever your belief as to the extent of it does not excuse donald trump s or anyone else s hillary clinton has enabled bill and victimized his accusers this is often pointed out as well and certainly if even half of the allegations are true she s rightly criticized for doing so but even assuming all of them are true and she s as ruthless and calculating as many believe her to be that still does not excuse donald trump and if you re attempting to excuse a grown man gleefully recounting his past or contemplated physical assaults on women because you don t want her to win then yes you are doing the very thing she s accused of doing you re rationalizing bad behavior which you d likely not tolerate if it were directed to yourself or a loved one for political purposes two wrongs never do make a right and the lesser of two evils is still evil if you re someone who s decided that despite his multitude of flaws you re still willing to vote for trump in an effort to prevent hillary clinton from winning i accept that even while i won t be joining you in that endeavor what i don t accept is any attempt to excuse and normalize his comments or the behavior they describe they are not okay and i don t want my daughter or yours or anyone s son to come to the conclusion that they are because we ultimately elect or vote for a man who thinks they are posted in uncategorized 1 comment october 8 2016 by qwithaview election 2016 in seven simple pics so much has been written about this election cycle and so much more will i thought i d take a different approach and just let a few photos sum up my thoughts on the past 16 months ayup posted in uncategorized 1 comment may 6 2016 by qwithaview the tow truck driver the teacher news broke yesterday out of north carolina no not about who has to use which bathroom but about a tow truck driver who upon learning his intended customer was a bernie sanders supporter declined to lend his services why a trump backing tow truck driver says he refused service to a sanders supporter now mr shupe had his reasons and from a business perspective they make sense he s had bad experiences of late with socialist minded person s not paying their bills as he put it he s been berned with an e not a u but the fact remains he left a young woman in need of assistance which he was especially equipped to provide on the side of the road with an inoperable vehicle as soon as i saw the headline i thought oh boy here we go and right on cue the partisans showed up brandishing either outrage or smug satisfaction depending on their respective political camps i thought about diving in particularly when i saw comments re lawsuits being thrown out there no what this guy did wasn t illegal or actionable at law i m not going to belabor that here but it was ungentlemanly and unkind i like many others was reminded of jesus parable of the good samaritan and disappointed in the way mr shupe chose to respond even more so when i read past the headline today to this excerpt something came over me i think the lord came to me and he just said get in the truck and leave shupe told an abc affiliate and when i got in my truck you know i was so proud because i felt like i finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what i believed according to fox carolina shupe identified himself as a conservative christian who supports donald trump mcwade however told the post that she felt he didn t exactly exemplify his belief i m sorry i don t see how those two concepts reconcile and it saddens me that this seems to be where we are in this day and age it isn t just mr shupe though i ve heard and seen several people championing mr shupe today chuckling over his commentary which granted was clever in fact i heard one gentleman proudly recount a story about how just the other day he taught a young waitress a valuable lesson she apparently was sporting a bernie sticker on her apron and he engaged her in conversation over this delving into her reasoning which appeared predominantly to center on the idea of free college tuition an idea of understandable appeal to a 20 year old the man explained to her how of course it isn t really free it s being paid for by the taxpayer which means you and me and even her just on the back end out of her back pocket it sounded as though he did a nice and somewhat thorough job of explaining that almost everything has a cost and someone has to pay i was with him up to that point but then he got to what seemed to be his punchline she brought the bill and to ensure she learned her lesson he wrote in 0 00 for the tip ha get it now she ll see what free is woot you sure showed that young lady mister sadly i have a sneaking suspicion the lesson this waitress will take away from this encounter was that conservatives republicans are jerks so why bother to listen to their ideas maybe not one can hope i ll be honest i m tired i m tired of people being ugly to one another in the name of politics or religion or just in general i m tired of having to explain how the actions of people who theoretically claim the same labels as i do conservative christian don t represent me or those ideals no friends i am most certainly not without fault none of us are but we can do better than this we need to do better than this posted in uncategorized leave a comment march 9 2016 by qwithaview where did our love go i brought this up on q with a view last night and it stuck with me so i thought i d flesh it out a bit in writing one of the themes heading into 2015 was what a strong bench the gop had compared to the democrats ultimately 17 candidates threw their hat into the race 5 former governors 4 sitting governors 4 sitting senators 1 former senator 1 world renowned neuro surgeon 1 former fortune 100 ceo 1 billionaire businessman reality tv show star they were geographically diverse with solid ties to ny fl va nj wi mi ar la ky tx ca sc pa oh they were demographically diverse 2 hispanic candidates 1 african american 1 indian 1 woman and as my co host jason dibler rightly noted age diverse ranging from age 44 to age 7o now personally i d submit that this was a decent lot however twould seem that familiarity breeds contempt and if it doesn t preference for one often leads to it as to others but assuming as some contend that this roster constitutes a sorry gaggle i must ask who wouldn t doesn t who fits the bill in terms of not being a lousy candidate for president posted in uncategorized leave a comment march 4 2016 by qwithaview a couple points of clarification i don t know about you but i ve never been faced with the realistic possibility that i won t be able to vote for the presidential nominee of the party i favor most of us have been faced from time to time maybe even most of the time with the lesser of two evils choice and i suppose in a way planting one s flag on nevertrump island is a form of that as well but it surely raises questions and sometimes on social media blind fury from those who think he s just peachy and even from those who think he s not but still preferable to a hillary clinton or substituted democrat of your choice presidency so to the extent that it matters at all i have some answers 1 how can you say you ll never vote for trump when even his primary opponents cruz kasich rubio say they ll support him if he s the nominee hey i ll admit it there was a part of me last night during the debate that hoped rubio or at least one of the non trumps would boldly declare his refusal to support trump on principle but i m a fairly pragmatic person when it comes to politics the downside to doing so likely outweighed the upside first as cruz rightly pointed out they did all sign a pledge to support the nominee so refusal to do so would be brought up repeatedly as evidence of their willingness to go back on their word second as rubio rightly pointed out the democratic alternatives really aren t palatable third while it appears likely trump will be the nominee he doesn t have it yet thus agreeing to support him if he is the nominee doesn t mean agreeing not to continue fighting tooth and nail to prevent that from happening so no i can t find much fault with their answers and i was gratified that trump s answer was that he too would support the nominee even if it isn t him that doesn t change my stance because my nevertrump stance isn t predicated on my support for rubio or cruz or kasich as i explained the other day in defense of marco rubio and the nevertrumps i was nevertrump before he even entered the race and long before i settled on rubio as my preference and that rubio is my preference does not translate into me thinking he hung the moon or can do no wrong i don t agree with everything he says and does he s a political candidate and a human being not a deity further despite having selected rubio as my choice i m nevertrump not alwaysrubio or onlyrubio i can and will support any of the other remaining candidates that s how i can say i ll never vote for or support trump regardless of what rubio or cruz or kasich say or ultimately do 2 how would you feel if someone started up a neverrubio movement well again as i stated in my prior piece i d raise an eyebrow shake my head and possibly question the rationale behind it but i wouldn t berate them for it if someone feels that strongly about opposing rubio then no they shouldn t vote for him or support him that said if the only motivation for doing so is to counteract the nevertrump movement i m not certain how successful it would be first it s derivative second it s inaccurate unless one means that they won t support or vote for him no matter what most people i ve seen voice support for other candidates have said they could vote for rubio in the general if it came to that but hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do lastly as i tweeted out yesterday a criticism of your preferred candidate a personal affront to you if you take it that way you may want to reassess perspective i wouldn t be pleased with such a campaign obviously but i wouldn t take it personally it s not about me i m not rubio and he is not the vessel for all my hopes and dreams 3 are you okay with the rnc stealing the nomination away from trump no not if it means monkeying with the rules as currently written the odds of a brokered convention seem to be increasing this piece and the prior ones linked therein set out the nitty gritty of how that might play out it s complicated and complex and i haven t fully wrapped my brain around it but if it would take a sudden rule change in order to block trump i m not on board with that it doesn t make much sense for me to take a somewhat controversial stance on principle then turn right around and dismiss notions of proper process and fair play i m not an ends justify the means person or at least i strive mightily not to be regardless i came to an unfortunate realization yesterday the damage is already done not that there won t be more i m sure there will but the divide between the factions on the right has bubbled up to the surface and i don t believe it can be repaired in this election cycle maybe i ll be pleasantly surprised this has certainly been a season like no other posted in uncategorized leave a comment march 2 2016 by qwithaview in defense of marco rubio and the nevertrumps rubio the conservative one thing i ll never be accused of lacking is stubbornness i m a missouri mule through and through however as i ve grown older and theoretically wiser i ve had to learn that being right isn t the be all end all of life faith family friends those are what matter most and of...
