Random thoughts on No. 45

The DOJ Assault Against Affirmative Action—Most people don’t remember that it was Richard Nixon who initiated Federal Affirmative Action Programs to remedy historic and institutional racial (and gender) discrimination. Under AG Sessions, the DOJ has launched a program of filing lawsuits against colleges and universities whose Affirmative Action initiatives discriminate against White people. I’ve always held that “reverse racism” is a myth, but that myth is being codified at the behest of an alleged racist.
Trumpcare vs. Obamacare (and The Obama Legacy)—I challenge anyone to view President Obama’s remarks about #45 at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner and not understand the foundation of #45’s desire to eradicate any vestige of President Obama’s legacy, especially his signature healthcare plan. #45 wasn’t interested in the substance of the plan that Mitch McConnell tried to ramrod through the Senate.  He didn’t care how many Americans would be impacted or how many would lose insurance coverage. His primary interest is to purge the name Barack Obama from the historical records of the nation.
#45’s Destruction of the Values and Traditions Upon Which Our Nation is Established—#45 lies!  A record of his lies and his on-going pattern of lies has been documented.  Arguably, he is attempting to restructure the US Government in the image of Trump, Inc.  He attacks legislative and judicial processes as burdensome and falsely attacks dissenting news outlets as purveyors of “fake news.”  These actions are part of a plan to disestablish the institutions that have guarded and sustained our democracy, such as it is, since 1776.  The suspicion of his collusion with Russia to undermine our most recent Federal election is even more insidious.
I would not be surprised if you missed any of the aforementioned subjects.  It’s hard to keep up, but it’s essential that you do.  The survival of our community and our interests depend upon our ability to react to the madness that surrounds us.
