Well, we surely did take it on the chin with the defeat of Roy Moore and so did the country. Judge Moore would have been stalwart in the Senate for the unapologetic, confident conservatism which recognizes our nation's Christian essence. He was defeated by the circulation of unproven charges of sexual misconduct. Without the substantiation of the charges he was eminently representative of his state. Senator Jones will answer to the most unAlabama like Charles Schumer, a man who could not be elected Assistant Pencil Sharpener in any state other than the people's republic of NY.
Despite the fact that Republicans still control the Senate, Dems today think they are back where they belong, in the driver's seat. This is to them a return to normality after a bizarre interlude of hissy and ignorant reaction by the real America. And when they think that, they always overreach. Hence. . .
Thinking this strategem a windfall delivered them by their longtime benefactor, Harvey Weinstein, Dems will now go all out to encourage the levelling of charges of "sexual harassment" against any who attract their basilisk gaze. Its an old, old thing with them; they delight in the visible quivering defensiveness which certain charges automatically manifest in those who are spineless or cannot afford to defend themselves. Their favorite is "racism", a term so misused and overused by them over the last fifty years that it can be defeated simply by asking them to define it. Most of the time they cannot, or they comically point to themselves in doing so, because they have never before been required to think the term out.
Similarly they will hasten to use "sexual harassment" now as an all purpose condemnation upon accusation of any man who opposes any woman in any way, including very serious crimes. Eventually they will make the term as bereft of logical negative impact as they have "racism". But along the way they will do much evil with it both to the innocent and perhaps to themselves:
I am put in mind of how the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution destroyed its progenitors . This could easily happen to the Dems as the fear of mere accusation they will now be blithe to excite in their opponents is turned on them. They have many candidates for such calumny in their ranks and I don't mean Slick Willy - he is to them completely expendable now. He has sunk beneath contempt but he may be lifted from the ooze just long enough to face disingenuous formal excoriation and final exile.
Call me Pollyanna (or don't) but the real America still prevails. I rejoice to know that the left thinks otherwise; it will be their undoing yet. Jack

You make a lot of sense here, as you always do. It seems as though there is a pivot from "Russia!" to "The Women!", but as you say any charge loses its punch when it is over-used and clumsily applied. I'm writing an article as we speak about how Moore's defeat isn't the end of the world. Indeed, as you say, it may produce opportunities for us, and new fissures in the Great Wall of liberalism, which will make it harder, not easier, for the Dems to recapture Congress in 2018, which is their near-term goal (besides the impeachment of everyone in sight).
Dr. Waddy: Thank you. To use a Civil War analogy, this may be Second Manassas; it really stung but it was not decisive. It was to be outdone in causing despair in the North by Chancellorsville the next year; a month after that though - Gettysburg. We must temper our disappointment by thinking of things like that - of Singapore, of Hitler in Paris, of Corregidor, of Nixon's unjust defeat in 1960. All of these setbacks were redeemed. And just as that truth which prevailed in WWII, we have to know that if we fail and America goes totalitarian left, "chaos is come again" for the world.
