More people need to talk about sexual assault and sexual harassment. Survivors need to be able to talk - women AND men. This shouldn't be hidden and swept under the rug like Hollywood does or the military has done for years. We need to stop blaming survivors and start holding people accountable.

This whole Harvey Weinstein news, as deplorable as it is, has a silver lining. It just might shock us back to a core principle of this Republic of the United States....that with our "God given" Personal Freedom comes with Personal Responsibility. We are all accountable to someone in some way and some fashion. Even the Godless atheist will ultimately will be held accountable. It is part of the Christian-Judah values this country was founded on and was woven in our founding documents and most of our history. And every time we stepped away from the natural progression of those principles we as a people paid a price and suffered the consequences.
However, over the last 50 to 60 years with the increased secularization of our society where God and the Ten Commandments are pushed out of the public square, our values as a people are becoming more situational and more twisted than a County Fair Pretzel. I would argue we have lost our way every time we embraced a liberal progressive idea. It is small wonder to me that Hollywood & California are called the modern day Babylon. At the sametime several east coast cities could be called Sodom or Gomorrah on any given day. Weinstein and those that enabled him are now exposed for the rank hypocrite we on the right always know they were. AN THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
It is my hope and prayer that the good people of this great land take a step back, and for some that means stop drinking the liberal progressive left's kool aid, and see where we are as a country and were we need to become. We have been a house divided for far too long. We need to get back to the basic core values and ideals that made America great and make it great again. We need to get back to being a country based on a system of law. This starts with taking individual responsibility for our actions and holding those around us responsible for theirs. Harvey Weinstein and his enablers in the DNC and MSM need to be exposed, prosecuted where warranted and discredited.

This country was not founded on "Christian-Judah" principles and was never intended to be any type of religious country.
Please don't use this topic as a way to push your religion. Sexual assault and sexual harassment are perpetrated by religious people too. Look at the Catholic church...look at some other religions where youth pastors are arrested for child molestation and so on. Some people are just evil it has nothing to do with not having religion.
If your god is so powerful it wouldn't matter if there were no monuments to him. He would still be in people's hearts right? He could still influence them right? Smh give me a break with this religion bullshit. Sexual assault and rape have happened for as long as humans have existed.

I can not believe what I read and I almost was going to let your comment pass. But you missed my point and that is simply sad. Also, some of what you said is simply not true and I could not let it stand. Again, my point is that just maybe, with this Weinstein being "exposed" for the devant that he is along with the Hollywood and political establishment that protected him, America (cross spectrum) will be shocked back to our core values and principles that made America the beacon of hope and greatness it has been...and still can be.
First and foremost, I get it people do bad and immoral things. It is called the nature of man and the fact we are all "sinners who have all fallen short in the eyes of God." There is the fact God gave us a free will to choose how we live our lives. And yes, "Sexual assault and rape have happened for as long as humans have existed." That also goes along with adultery, murder, stealing, and that you should honor your mother and father...family values thing. But that does not make those bad acts right...or are you a Weinstein apologists. Now, if you don't believe in God try proving his none existence ... that will be a lovely "rabbit hole" you can fall into. But crack a Bible and start reading.
Now, your lack historical perspective of this country is appalling to me...but that shows you might a product of the revisionist history being taught now for the past 40 years. So let me state emphatically that this country was founded on "Christian-Judah" principles. Everyone who came to the colonies and later in our early history were escaping some sort of persecution, but mostly that was religious persecution. If anyone takes the time to read many of the documents of those times as well as the "Bill of Rights" will see that religious freedom was central to this country. Read:
Amendment I: "Freedoms, Petitions, Assembly
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Amendment IX: "Rights retained by the People
The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
Both of these amendments (along with the tenth) were limit what the "Federal Government" can do to the people and to spell out what their basic protected rights were. The Tenth Amendment limited the Federal Government in relation to the States. The individual states, likewise more or less fallowed suit with their own constitutions and bill of rights became imperfect mirrors of the federal. But central to all, Religion and the individual practice of it was/is a protected right and it was/is very much part our public lives. In fact it formed the basis and foundation supporting the accepted moral pillars of society.
The modern concept of "separation of church and state" as being pushed by the ACLU and other atheist organizations is the blatant secularization of American society and the underpinning moral code starting with the Ten Commandments. Those same commandments are found in every religion and belief structure save one. Even the Satanist cults have a mirror Ten Commandments supplanting God with Satan. So while you are accusing me of pushing a religion, stop push secularism (a religion of sorts) to silence us who want to express our beliefs as we deem appropriate.

LTC Thomas Tennant - Please explain to me America's "core values" when from the start of this country our Founders stated "all men are created equal" but we have not had 100% equality. So what values are you talking about that are core to this country that disappeared?
"But that does not make those bad acts right...or are you a Weinstein apologists. Now, if you don't believe in God try proving his none existence ... that will be a lovely "rabbit hole" you can fall into. But crack a Bible and start reading. " Please tell me where any post I made I am a "Weinstein apologist?" I have not and would not. I never would defend that vile man or anyone like him. I have read the Bible - I was raised Catholic (unfortunately). You try proving to me that any god DOES exist. You can't. There is no proof of any deity that exists.
Revisionist history? LOL ok. Nice one. This country was NOT founded on Christian-Judah (you mean Judeo I think) principles. Show me one thing from the Founders in the Constitution that states as such. Oh that's right it's not there. If they wanted this to be a Christian nation they would have put it in the Constitution. Many of the Founders were Deists or non-religious but spiritual. Perhaps you need to do some research outside the bs history that has been taught about this being a Christian nation. We are not.
Yes religious freedom was important to the Founders - for ALL religions or those not religious NOT just for Christians. Pull your head out of your ass. Christianity is not the most important nor best religion. You also need to read that the First Amendment protects freedom for and FROM religion. Both not just one.
The Ten Commandments are not everyone's "Moral code." If you need a religion to guide your morals then you have bigger issues. I am not religious. I don't practice any religion and I have morals. No those same commandments are not found in every religion. If anything the code of Hammurabi is more the basis of our moral code than anything else.
I don't think you even know what Satanism is in all reality. Also I just did a search they don't have a 10 commandments type of anything. They also don't worship Satan...I don't push secularism. I don't push anything. Who am I trying to silence? No one. If I can silence you or anyone else you really have bigger issues.
I don't need another religious debate. I simply said don't use THIS topic to push your religious agenda. That's it.
