Did you ever get “picked on” when you
were little? There are few of us who haven’t had to deal with a “bully”, and it
isn’t much fun. My Dad’s advice was to stand up to him, call his bluff and
issue a well placed kick. I always liked my Dad’s incite. Bullies are usually
“jerks”, who can’t stand up against someone who shows them for what they really
are.
Recently, there has been a story
circulating about Mitt Romney saying he “bullied” some boy while he was in
boarding school because the boy exhibited “gay tendencies”. The details I read
said that the boy was held down while others (not Romney) cut his hair. This
story has been spread all over the media over the last few days. It has now
been revealed that there is no factual basis for this tale; it is all
conjecture and innuendo. There are no witnesses to either verify, or deny this
incident ever took place.
Mitt Romney has been in the public eye
for several years now, and I find it odd that until he became the presumptive
Republican Presidential Nominee, this incident remained undisclosed. At no time
during the battle for the nomination did any Republican hopeful say a word
about this alleged behavior, when “bloodletting” is rampant by fellow
candidates. Thus far, Governor Romney has “soft-peddled” the entire story as a
non-issue; a very intelligent decision on his part. He says he has no memory of
the alleged confrontation, and I have a tendency to believe him, as any victim
of this abuse would have come forward long before this campaign season. I don’t
think Mitt Romney is a bully.
During the campaign for President in
2008, Barack Obama admitted to trying cocaine as a college student; this is not
a story, it is an admitted fact from our current President. Our jails and
hospitals are full of people who have abused drugs during their lives. Drug
abuse in America is at an epidemic level. Children in junior high school on up
through college have been found to have severe drug and alcohol problems. It’s
nice to know that our “Chief Executive” has some first-hand knowledge in this
area.
Mr. Obama stated that he hasn’t
touched any drugs for many years, and that may be true, so I will give him the
“benefit of the doubt” in this area. I do believe that a college student, with
“exemplary grades” should have shown better sense that to try illicit drugs for
fun, after all, he was near “adulthood” at that time, but “boys will be boys” I
guess.
An adolescent doesn’t have adult
maturity while in a high school or junior high school environment; most of the
time, decisions are not well thought out. Many times a young boy will “opt for
stupid” when submitting to peer pressure. I know because I have “opted for
stupid” myself while growing up.
The fact that the media is churning up
this story about Mitt Romney, from decades ago, shows the desperation of the
left. Currently, Barack Obama is pandering to the “Gay Community”, and anything
that will cast an aspersion toward Mitt Romney is “fair game”, even if it’s an
untruth!
The next election should be decided on
issues, not allegations, especially allegations that are proven to be LIES! Mr.
Obama should be talking about his last four years in office, you know, his
record. Perhaps, facts are not Mr. Obama’s strong suit! What do you think
America?
