Every right you have offends them
ABC News sent out this Tweet about a story they covered on Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos.

“[W]ould make it easier for college students accused of sexual misconduct to push back.”
That’s a hell of a way to rephrase “make it easier for college students accused of sexual misconduct to be protected by their Constitutional rights.”
So what did DeVos do that ABC has to be so biased against her?
The proposal, known as rules for Title IX — the civil rights law that prohibits gender discrimination in a person’s education — is widely expected to limit the scope of inquiries by colleges and universities and make it easier for students accused of misconduct to push back.
The revised guidelines are being pushed by a small group of advocates who have told Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos and other high-ranking government officials in private meetings that they believe male students are often falsely accused and face expulsion from colleges and universities with little due process.
That’s true. The Mattress Girl fiasco was a national embarrassment.
Advocacy groups involved in the ongoing discussions said among the provisions they expect to see in the final draft is one that wouldn’t require schools to investigate incidents that occur off campus, even if it involves students.
Good.
Another provision would put schools on the hook to investigate allegations only if they’re made to certain designated authorities, such as the school’s Title IX coordinator.
Bad.
I have taught Chemistry and Metallurgy in college. I know how to do that. I don’t know anything about conducting a sex crime investigation. Except for professors in Criminology, no professor is taught that part of their academic qualification. Throw in the financial incentive of schools to obey Title IX or lose Federal Funding and it’s clear that schools have the ability and should not have the authority to investigate student sexual misconduct.
The only rule should be “the School must report it to the next highest law enforcement authority, i.e. city police, county sheriff, or state police, for investigation.”
And the new rules would likely allow for more thorough cross-examinations, possibly requiring that the person making the allegation sit in the same room as the accused.
Just like the Constitutions guarantees “in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him.”
Cynthia P. Garrett, co-president of a group called “Families Advocating for Campus Equality,” said she’s been pushing for these changes because they give students accused of misconduct better opportunities to defend themselves.
“I don’t want to make it difficult for people who claim to be victims to come forward. But it shouldn’t be easy either,” she told ABC News. “I think there should be a threshold for evidence or proof before you ruin someone’s life.”
I have no issue with it being easier to make a report. I do thing it’s a terrible idea to make it easier to convict.
This is now the post-Kavanaugh era, so this appeal to the rights of the accused, Constitutional protections, due process, and standards of evidence is now bringing about the Handmaid’s Tale.
Another person who has decided on Justice Kavanaugh’s guilt. How about “give the innocent a fighting change to live the American dream!” That seems more accurate.
Due process for the accused is legalized rape. That isn’t a totally hysterical and unhinged response.
Here is where the truth really comes out.
It’s all about feelings.
We saw this through the entire Campus Carry fight from a year or two back. The argument made by the students and professors who were against Campus Carry was that it made them feel afraid or intimidated.
No one actually threatened any of them with a gun. They didn’t even know which students had guns on them.
They just felt that angry, racist/misogynist/sexist/phobic, Conservative students would shoot them for saying Liberal things in class and that their feelings were justification enough to strip others of their rights.
This was no different than the argument made by every Leftist student protesting a conservative speaker, or dean who didn’t want to police Halloween costumes. They argued that seeing or hearing something offensive made the feel bad, and that mental stress hurt them, and that was equivalent to violence. Therefore your right to free speech and expression must be shut down, because of their feelings.
They equate being pro gun rights as being pro gun violence and being pro rights of the accused to be pro rape.
There is absolutely no civil liberty you have that they cannot turn on its head and use to claim victim hood.
I guarantee sooner or later the Third Amendment is going to come under attach by these nut jobs because will want to force you to let Antifa squat in your homes.
Soviet Asylums
Just remember, there was never a shortage of Soviet psychologists who were happy to diagnose anyone not agreeing with the party or believing the proclamations of the Politburo was insane and in need of institutionalization.
There is no field of medicine more prone to corruption that psychiatry and the worst of the worst are the politically motivated armchair quacks.
Sad. @SECupp said it best about the Kanye-Trump meeting: "That was really sad. I think you had there a man who's clearly not okay, and a president who's willing to who's willing to exploit that." pic.twitter.com/JuadQFMxkH

The greatest weapon the party has is to delegitimize any voice of dissent as a form of mental illness.
This is pure naked Sovietism.
Socialism does not fix this (FB Video)

Reminds me so much of what I saw a year after Andrew when I came to Miami for business with my partner. A friend drove us around to the areas where there was sill remnants of what had happened and it was the snapped trees that shook me the most back then.
Socialism will not rebuild the Panhandle. If Gillum wins, that place will remain in shambles after get gets voted out of office or removed for cause.
Given due where is due, Governor Scott has been seen moving his ass around and even the White House has been on top, much to Gillum’s dislike who has been bitching around. He is lucky Tallahassee did not get but a bit of wind and no much damage so he can tout the magic recovery thanks to his efforts.
Antifa in Sweden: Disparity of Force.
From what I gathered, this happened last May:
Besides the irony of start chanting Anti-Fascist right after they are done with the guy, this is what we can expect in the near future unless the Liberal have a “come to Jesus” moment and I don’t mean hiring an “undocumented” landscaper.
Bad back or not, I am gonna have to upgrade to midsize pistol with 15 rounds and at least 2 spares. I am as sure as hell not allowing idiots use yours truly as a punching bag and ending in a hospital or morgue…at least not alone.
