In the world of leftism, it is a dog eat dog world even though they tell you they are all about peace, tolerance, and cooperation. In the collective, there is no room for behavior that may harm the collective agenda. Also, liberal left statists are willing to do whatever it takes for their power, not only against those who oppose their viewpoints, like conservatives, republicans, and constitutionalists, but also against those who are inside their own circles who may be considered an obstacle to their rise to power.
Article I, Section 6 of the United States Constitution was written with the understanding that human nature has a dark side to it, and for the desire of power, playing dirty is on the menu for some people. It reads: "They (members of Congress) shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."
The idea behind that clause was to protect members of Congress from being kept from voting or debating by their opposition through the use of false accusations. However, the corruption of power has led our politicians to believe that the clause in Article I, Section 6 of the United States Constitution grants them the privilege of being above the law.
Our American System finds its roots in the Saxon System, which has, among its tenets, that nobody, including the leadership, is above the law.
Since the emergence of the sexual harassment charges against Judge Roy Moore, which claims he committed unacceptable sexual advances against teen age girls when he was still a registered Democrat, and a horny young man of 32 (Democrats don't believe people can individually grow, change or mature - it's up to the collective to properly train or rehabilitate them to be good people), the Democrat political world, the media, and Hollywood have been slammed with a massive slate of sexual impropriety scandals. To conservatives, the whole thing screams of "hypocrisy," but how can leftists be accused of betraying their values when they show us time and time again that the only value system they possess is darker than the furthermost corners of Hell?
The latest victim of the spreading plague of sexual disgraces is Matt Lauer, who has been fired from NBC News as a result. No evidence. An employee simply filed a complaint about "inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace."
When it comes to sex, you're guilty until proven innocent, it seems. My question is, why? Is there a power struggle going on? Did the Clintons need to move Lauer aside?
A number of news outlets were investigating Lauer's off-camera conduct, once catching wind of the possibility that Lauer was a horn-dog. Who needs sleuths when you have The New York Times, and NBC lawyers and human resources officials crawling all over the issue?
Regarding Lauer, The Times had a nice long meeting with NBC's lawyers and human resources officials. As a result of that meeting, and an investigation that followed, NBC decided to terminate his employment.
A memo to staff regarding the woman's accusation said that the details "represented, after serious review, a clear violation of our company's standards."
The source said the woman alleged that the inappropriate behavior occurred while Lauer was in Russia covering the Winter Olympics in 2014.
Further investigation has revealed that it may not have been an isolated incident."
As yet another high-profile media figure going down like this, Lauer follows Charlie Rose, Harvey Weinstein, actors Kevin Spacey and Louis C.K., prominent journalists Mark Halperin of NBC and Michael Oreskes, and of course a string of politicians including Democrat member of the House of Representatives, John Conyers.
