People who really resent Kavanaugh should prove their sincerity by self- immolation.
And there goes any credibility that Peterson ever thought he may have.
What a stupid thing to say.
That sounds like somebody who cannot believe that the Dems didn’t get their way, and cannot accept that the Republicans finally did. If he’s in any way conservative, then it is the kind of conservative who is more comfortable losing to the Dems instead of winning and showing leadership.
Go stand with the other RINOs and Globalists. We are not going to be listening to you anymore.
This is how you destroy your credibility overnight: when it matters most, get it suicidally wrong.
Apparently he's hand in hand with the notorious America-hating radicals of Evergreen State.
Isn’t evergreen the colleg that had the “white people have to stay home day” BS?
What a disaster this Canadian is. Hopefully it will put an end to his “teachings” being posted here.
Never concede a fiber of anything to the Left.
A less divisive nominee? That will never be allowed to happen when a Republican is nominating. They will always be “divisive”. What a naive fool.
Or he could follow the example of Clarence Thomas, persist through the baseless attacks, and become a great Justice.
Until I hear him argue that Kavanaugh should step down, assume he was being sarcastic. It was a comment that came with a link of somebody taking that position.
I always thought Peterson was smarter than that. NO NOMINEE WILL EVER BE “LESS DIVISIVE” AS LONG AS THE RATS HAVE A SAY!!!!
....when seeking guidance, look elsewhere...
Peterson has had a wild ride and has mostly managed when so many have been run through like a pig on a spit. This comment was not one of his best by any means and it goes against one of this several good rules. So, he wasn’t thinking. We all do that once in a while. Say something dumb before thinking about what comes next.
This whole thread makes me so much less proud of Free Republic. Knee jerk ignorance. We can do better.
Evergreen? where trannies tell professors when they are allowed to use the bathroom? where professors cower in a room instead of getting control of students a third of their age? that Evergreen? pfffft
...knuckle under or be destroyed...
I’ve heard many of Peterson’s talks and debates on podcasts and converted to MP3 youtubes.
The guy is brilliant and 90% of what he says I agree with. So this stand of his on Kavanaugh surprises me.
My guess is he’s being deliberately ambivalent because this issue is so divisive. He’s a clinical psychologist, not just a academic so perhaps he’s thinking of his future patients and not appearing to be one-sided.
Maybe he’s doesn’t want to be the poster boy for conservative-thinking psychologists anymore. In one of his lectures he said he’s the only one he knows.
Perhaps he’s at a career turning point and wants to relax his lecture schedule and focus on his work and not be so much in the public limelight.
Being Canadian, maybe he’s sore the result of the USMCA trade agreement.
Just went to a Peterson lecture in Denver tonight! If you want to hear someone that the intellectual left fears and hates as much or more than Trump, then he’s your man. He spoke against SJWs, the lunacy of identity politics, the destruction of the university, let alone how the Democrats will bring ruination in their wake. He spoke eloquently about his poorly thought out 2 a.m. tweet about Kavanaugh as well. So everybody take a chill pill. The enemy of our enemy is our FRiend.
Moreover, Justice Kavanaugh was not a controversial nominee because of the BS uncorroborated assertions against him. He was ‘controversial’ because he is and was a conservative Constitutional fundamentalist, and his opponents did not want a Constitutionalist on the US Supreme Court for the next 30 years or more. To make compromise nominations of jurists who would be ‘acceptable’ to the political opponents of the President and the Populist/Conservative movement which elected him would make no sense. The people voted for change in a Conservative direction; the President promised change in a Conservative direction; to pander to the politicians whose previous actions and present positions are what Pres. Trump ran against and his supporters voted to end would be a betrayal, not a compromise.
