Deep, Dark Secrets . . . Well, they had hoped they were!

Over the past couple of months there has been a series of social earthquakes rumble across the USA . . . it began with Hollywood and the entertainment industry, then spilled over into the ‘news media” so called, then over into the arena of public service—our elected officials. It all centers on men making uninvited and unwelcomed sexual advances on women who worked with them or for them.

Suddenly, the dam burst and a wide assortment of ladies have stepped out from behind the curtain to announce that she had been victimized by some man who used the weight of position or office to prey upon her and other women beneath him in the food chain.

There has been a great deal of money changing hands as all of this is being made public.

Incredibly, we have recently discovered that our Congress . . . that noble body of stewards of the People’s business . . . that crucial third component of our government charged under the Constitution with responsibility of the legislative portion of our nation and with oversight of the Executive Branch . . . had actually created and established an in-house slush fund used to buy silence in matters of disputes which would embarrass those noble men if the matter should ever became public. Essentially, it enabled the Congressmen and Senators to misbehave and provide a safety net in the process. Of course, those strong champions of the down-trodden preyed upon women who needed their jobs and were locked into a system not easily exited. If the lady was not receptive to his advances, she was left in a most difficult and embarrassing situation. If she filed a complaint, she was blacklisted and held at bay as long as possible and finally forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to get the hush money.

Watchdog groups have been all over this story and have learned that some $17 million of the people’s money has been paid out of said slush fund. Two of our Texas delegation have been identified as villains for whom such payments have been made. All of this stupid behavior reminds me of a warning issued long ago, “Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in an ear in private rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.”

Did those idiots think they were bullet-proof and could just do whatever they wanted? Not only is their sin being shouted from the rooftop . . . it is being proclaimed over the airwaves! They forgot that they were supposed to be servants . . . and behaved as if they were masters.

One more warning comes to mind . . . Be sure your sins will find you out.”
