Double Standard: GOP Style



Allegations of an abusive act by an alleged male perpetrator with an alleged female victim has now set a fevered pitch on the national stage of power politics.

I observe as Republican politicians, esquires and multiple ideologues express their shock and abhorrence that an individual can—without any evidence—possess the power to derail and adversely affect the life of the accused forevermore. The silver bullet, commonly referred to as the unsubstantiated allegation.
 Ladies and gentlemen, what comes to my mind is the blind passivity that these same guardians of due process have shown for the ongoing state sanctioned mass prosecution of the accused male deep within the underbelly of the Family Court Tribunal system. It has been the judicial standard operating procedure for decades now.
Its pretty sad that what has brought you out of the closet as inspired defenders of due process was the developing fiasco of the Judge Kavanaugh allegations of sexual assault from over three decades ago, while ignoring the plight of the average constituent in your state who faces a similar unsubstantiated allegation of an act of abuse from an ex partner.

It’s all good; relax.  Pretty soon, the lights and cameras will be shut down, the flurry of attention over the Judge Kavanaugh controversy will wane, and then you can go back to your silent acquiescence of innocent men being brutalized by the false allegations industry.
