CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY SEPTEMBER 16, 2020
JUST WHEN YOU THINK THE COUNTRY CAN’T SINK ANY LOWER MORALLY COMES THIS. THE GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, GAVIN NEWSOM, HAS SIGNED INTO LAW A MEASURE THAT WILL GIVE JUDGES LEEWAY WHEN IT COMES TO SEX OFFENDERS.
THE BILL WOULD EXPAND A JUDGE’S DISCRETION WHEN IT COMES TO SEX BETWEEN ADULTS AND MINORS. CRITICS SAY IT IS A SOP TO THE LGBT COMMUNITY. I WON’T GO INTO THE DETAILS. YOU CAN FIND THEM FOR YOURSELF IF YOU WANT.
THE AGE GAP MUST NOT BE MORE THAN 10 YEARS AND THE SEX MUST BE VOLUNTARY. IT DOES NOT COVER MINORS UNDER AGE 14. BUT A 14-YEAR-OLD COULD HAVE SEX WITH A 24 YEAR OLD OF ANY GENDER.
WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY? NOTHING SEEMS TO CONSTRAIN A GROWING NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO BEHAVE AS THEY WISH, AS IF THERE IS NO GOD, OR RESTRAINING MORAL AUTHORITY. THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS DECADENCE AND HISTORICALLY DECADENCE HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE COLLAPSE OF EMPIRES AND SUPERPOWERS OF THE PAST.
I WRITE ABOUT IT MY LATEST BOOK, “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE.” IF YOU DON’T HAVE A COPY I HOPE YOU WILL GET ONE. THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
