Brown and black people will save our Union

Whites will Destroy America

I can just hear it now. There will be all kinds of accusations that I hate the white race. They will of course be wrong. I don’t hate the white race. I hate American whites. White people around the globe don’t behave like American whites. American whites own their own special brand of venom.

When German whites temporarily went crazy during WWII, whites around the world didn’t follow suite. As American whites slide further and further into their own unique abyss, the rest of the white world isn’t following the American version of insanity. Whites in other parts of the world remain intact.

It's hard to tell what went wrong with white people in America. It's as though a collective insanity has enveloped the crackers’ of our nation. After WWII, a common theme kept emerging by those who recall how mad men took over the German nation. The speed at which the insanity enveloped Germany surprised everyone. The insanity of Donald Trump and his insane white base has a similar flavor. No, we are not at the stage Germany evolved too. However, the insanity of white American is still in its infancy.

I'm white and identify more with black and Latino citizens than I do with my own race. Brown minorities seem to have a better handle on what this country is all about. One doesn't hear the level of hatred coming out of the mouths of our brown/black people as we hear coming from self-righteous white supremacists trying to destroy America. Only the white people in America claim superiority over others. Our Black and Latino populations make no such claims.

Blacks and Latinos aren’t trying to keep people from voting. Blacks and Latinos aren’t t trying to limit people's civil liberties. Blacks and Latinos don't talk about secession or States Rights. Blacks and Latinos don't advocate religious bigotry or discrimination. Blacks and Latinos don't praise sexual predators. Blacks and Latinos don't think it's alright to be a crooked business man.

It's ironic! "Democrats depend on Blacks and Latinos to save our union" 

Isn't that odd? Blacks and Latinos still believe in the things that made this country great. All those Latinas crossing our border believe in America more than the disgusting, paranoid and racist, religious bigots sporting white skin, in America. 

It has become apparent to me, the poorest black, the most destitute Latino, understands what America stands for, better than Donald Trump. The Republican Party, headed by Trump, has become the enemy of freedom loving people all around the world. It’s not just American blacks, Latinos, Muslims and gay citizens living in fear. The world is aghast at what the white people in the United States of America have done. 

Ultimately, the brown people of our nation will save our Union. Quite a reversal of rolls, don't you think? I plan to be with them. I am so ashamed of white people in this nation. It is simply disgusting how they made someone like Trump POTUS. As one celebrity said. "It was a white lash".

The history of mankind has shown there is nothing more dangerous than white people getting out of control. Just disgusting.

The real threat to America has been ignored

Donald Trump is the Republican Party.
The real battle comes after the election!

Democrats will be very surprised how many votes Trump gets. It will be a sad statement of the American people. The Republicans nominated a racist, religious bigot, who clearly practiced predatory sexual assaults and is accused of child molestation. That’s just for starters.

He stole money from people on a regular basis, cheated vendors and used tax laws to avoid paying his fair share.  It appears Russia is attempting to alter the election in Trumps favor. Almost every word coming out of Trump's mouth is a lie.

Yet, Donald Trump will get about 40 million votes. He will carry several states and may place our country into a crisis by challenging the results of the election. The possibility of promoting armed insurrection is very real. His followers are capable of armed conflict if Trump eggs them on. Donald Trump has demonstrated a propensity for the unusual. Don’t expect a civil end to this election.

The Republican Party is responsible for Donald Trump, yet they will try to disavow Trump when he is defeated on election day. We cannot allow the Republicans to slip away from what they have done. At the same time, we should not just blame Donald Trump. He is only a symptom. The Republican Party and the American people are to blame for Donald Trump.

After Hillary wins, the sickness brought upon us by Republicans and Trump will not vanish. The Republican Party will still obstruct our government and Donald Trump’s followers will still be threatening all the rest of us. Many of those threats will involve militias and guns.

After Hillary’s victory, the real fight will begin. Get ready for the most outlandish behavior witnessed in our lifetimes by the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s followers. If you think the election is bad, wait until you see the Republicans and their Trump supporters after the election. You will be dumbfounded.

Cheer for a Hillary victory. Brag and boast for only a short time. The honeymoon will be very short.
The real battle is about to begin. There is a sickness upon the land and it will not be easy to deal with. 
The coming years will be more contentious than the Obama years. Cheer your heart out for our first female President but prepare to shed tears when the Republicans nullify her Presidency. The campaign season has focused so much on Trump the real threat to America has been ignored.

The Republican Party, on the whole, is much worse than Donald Trump. Republicans are trying to destroy our nation. Trump is too stupid to do as much damage to our nation as the Republicans are capable of.

John McCain has already announced Republicans will not confirm any Supreme Court nominee presented by Clinton. His statement is only the first shot, by Republicans, aimed at Hillary. Many more salvos are forthcoming. In addition to destroying Hillary’s Presidency, the Republicans will continue their campaign to destroy America. 

Donald Trump is what the Republican Party has become. His loss will not alter the real threat to America. The Republican Party will continue their hatred and their disdain for our nation. Just be ready for the onslaught. Start thinking about how we will save our nation. 

What will you do when Republicans gain control of the Oval Officer and both branches of government? That day is coming. Prepare for the inevitable. Perhaps not this time. However, total Republican control is just around the corner.

Does Brexit and States Rights have the same goal?

Destroying Central Government is the latest Fad.

A free Podcast you can download to your phone can be heard at:

With the exit of England from the European Union, does England’s action give credence to a movement in the United States to eliminate our Union? Some would say that England’s exit from the EU has nothing in common with the United States but upon careful analysis, there may be more shared ideology than one thinks.

First of all, is there a movement in America to destroy our Union? There is plenty of evidence, a mentality by certain Americans to revive the efforts of the Confederate States of America, does exist. “States’ Rights” is what it is called on our shores. With a similar desire in England, Brexit is the EU’s version of “States Rights”.

In our beginning, our founding fathers emphasized the word Union. The name of our country, the “United” States of America, reflects how people believed in our formative years. Our Founders gave us a Rule book (the Constitution) providing “Equal Protection Under the Law”, The “Due Process Clause”, a “Bill of Rights” and most importantly, the “Supremacy Clause”.

All these Clauses, and Rules were designed for only one thing. UNION! Americans, in our beginning years believed, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall”. At the time, this concept was quite unique in the worlds history. Unique because the “United” philosophy was prefaced by the term “By the People, FOR the People”. Emphasis on the word “FOR”.

The idea a government is “FOR” the people, treats all citizens equally and law is applied equally “FOR” all the people, is what made the American concept of government, unique in all the world. No other nation in the world had ever approached governing in this manner. In the past, people only existed to serve the government. America introduced the notion that government exists to serve and be “FOR” the people. Europe has envied America ever since. The European Union was a poor attempt to emulate the American dream.

In order to serve the people and to be “For” all the people, our Founders created rules to be applied equally to all the States. That’s why the term “Freedom of the Press” means exactly the same thing in California as it does in New York. “Freedom of Religion” does not have “special exceptions” in South Carolina because South Carolina has a preponderance of a particular faith.

Our government, being “FOR” the people, must protect “ALL” the people using “DUE PROCESS”, providing “EQUAL PROTECTION” under the law through the use of the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”. That is what the American dream is about. It is what made America unique in all the world’s history. A government “FOR” the people, using tools to guarantee the “Civil Liberties” of “All the People”, equally, can do no less.

Opposite to the vision of “Unity”, is the belief individual “State Sovereignty” knows what is best for its citizens. In America, it’s called “States Rights”. The Confederacy once opposed the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”. They fought a war over the issue. The American “States Rights” movement is equivalent to the Brexit movement in England. All over Europe people are opposed to a European version of the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”.

In America, many people no longer believe our national government has the final say in all matters concerning law. Many Americans have rejected the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE” and because they have, they no longer believe in the American Dream.

That my dear friends is at the heart and soul of almost all conflict in America. We are currently engaged in in a battle between those who still believe in “UNITY”, the American Dream, and those who believe in “State Sovereignty”, the destruction of the government envisioned by our Founding Fathers. This conflict was at the heart of North verses South, in our Civil War. This differing philosophy drives Brexit in England. This struggle is tearing America apart as we speak.

This idea of “State Sovereignty” has prevailed through most of human history and throughout most of the world. It is the practice of “State Sovereignty” that has prevented Europe from forming the United States of Europe.

When America first formed, the idea of a unified nation guided by “Federalism”, or the all-important “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”, gave birth to the most envied country in all the world. There are powerful forces within America today, who still believe in “State Sovereignty” and are intent on destroying the dream of men much wiser than they are. Republicans are in opposition to our Founding Fathers.

Europe still suffers under an old and antiquated notion of “State Sovereignty” and is the reason any attempt to provide government “FOR” all the people of Europe has failed. Civil Liberties and their meaning, varies widely in Europe, even under the illusion of the European Union.

If the “States Rights” movement in the United States progresses any further, “Civil Liberties” will vary widely from state to state, in America. “Freedom of the Press”, “Religion”, “Speech”, etc., Etc., would have different meanings and interpretations in each state.

Without a government “FOR” the people, insuring “EQUAL PROTECTION” through “DUE PROCESS”, enforced by the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”, individual American states would interpret “CIVIL LIBERTIES” in very different ways.

Ultimately, the goal of Brexit is to not adhere to a “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”, forcing a common set of laws all Europeans they must abide by. The English people have rejected “Unity” with their European neighbors. The English people don’t want to adhere to “EQUAL PROTECTION” under law applied to all the citizens of Europe. The English people don’t want “DUE PROCESS” enforced by the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE” of a government “FOR” all the people.

The English people decided to go their own way and they have inspired many Americans who would like to do the same thing. In a few years, “CIVIL LIBERTIES” in England will have different meanings than in other European nations. Many Americans want the same outcome for each state.

In the United States, under “States Rights”, Civil Liberties will have different meanings from state to state. If a state eliminates a Civil Liberty enjoyed by a citizen in one state, but not another, a central government “FOR” the people will not be able to provide “EQUAL PROTECTION” through “DUE PROCESS”, enforced by the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE”.

States will interpret “Civil Liberties” according their local customs or religious beliefs. Absolute chaos will break out across America. The United States of America will come to an end.

 The “EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE”, “DUE PROCESS CLAUSE” and the “SUPREMACY CLAUSE” of a government “FOR” all the people will no longer exist in America under “STATES RIGHTS”.

That is in essence what Brexit is. A European version of American “States Rights”. An independent England, not subject to universal law, may work out for Great Britain, because that is how it has been in Europe for centuries. However, an American version of Brexit will not work in our fifty states.

Here is what I predict in the near future during our Election process. Donald Trump will embrace Brexit and suggest states have no obligation to adhere to a government “FOR” the people. The “States Rights” movement is already very strong in our nation. Millions will rally to his call for division.

Donald Trump will embrace Brexit style “States Rights” and Hillary Clinton will defend “Union”. A political “Civil War” is about to engulf our nation. It’s going to be Union verses Confederate Traitors. This war against our Union has been going on for a number of years already, championed by the Republican Party.

Democrats simply have not awoken to the fact, we are in a war and must defend our Union or we will lose all the things our Founding fathers envisioned. Brexit will be used by Republicans in many ways and the Confederacy could win through legislation, that which they could not win on the battlefield.


Brexit and “States Rights” have a lot in common.

The Confederacy: You don't honor mass murder and treason

A Confederate disgrace

Kentucky Confederate monument to be removed after 120 years

From a story located at:





My comment:
Russia got rid of statues of Stalin and other relics from a historical period of time they would just as soon forget. Communist China no longer displays their barbaric past. Germany got rid of any displays of their Nazi past. It's about time America stopped honoring people who tried to destroy our Union and wanted to perpetuate the enslavement of human beings.

The old Confederacy is nothing to be proud of. Yes, slavery was practiced in the North but the North came to its senses and abolished the sin long before the South. It took the Union Army to drag
Southern slave masters into a more enlightened time. It still takes the Federal government in modern times, to remind racists around the country they have never been right and they are not right now.
They cannot practice their racist views. They will never return to power and practice their backward ideas on mankind again.

Still, racial bigotry and hatred persist more in the South than any other part of our country. Displaying Confederate war heroes and politicians as though they are people to be revered is equivalent to Germany displaying statues of Nazi War Criminals. There are no statutes of Pol Pot in Cambodia.

Why do all the vestiges of the Confederacy need to come down? Because it is a period in our history nobody should be bragging about. The atrocities of slavery are no less egregious than the horrors perpetrated by evil regimes throughout history.

Listening to all the rhetoric by Southerners, trying to defend what those Southern statues and their flag represent, is equivalent to some Germans honoring their murderers as heroes. There is never a time when people should venerate mass murder and the enslavement of human beings.

Slavery, by Americans, is as bad an atrocity committed by anyone in the world. Those Southern traitors are not heroes. The Southern flag and all statues of Southern War Criminals should be burned and buried, never to be seen again.

School children should be taught that Southern Slave Masters, engaged in mass murder, are not heroes. They are people to be despised for as long as America exists. People should stop trying to glorify the Confederacy. That was a period of time all Americans should be ashamed of.

Bernie Sanders is good but Hillary is more electable.

America is not ready for Democratic Socialism

         
Recently I responded to a contributor on Face Book who stated, "independent" (republicans) have been crossing over in every caucus state to vote for BS. Their motivation seems to be if BS wins the nomination, he will be much easier to beat in the general”.

          I agree with his analogy. I believe Bernie is much more vulnerable than Hillary. Mainly because the word Socialism is more volatile than the words Democrat, liberal, black, Hispanic or woman. One day, Socialism will correct the Fascist trend in America. But not yet.

          America is currently experiencing a version of Fascism uniquely tailored to the United States. This effort, is combined with a sophisticated propaganda campaign convincing millions of Americans that corporations are good, excess profit is good, unions are bad and anyone wanting to correct the excesses of big business, is bad.

          Corporations have actually convinced many Americans that the minimum wage is too high, child labor is alright and woman should not earn as much as men. These beliefs, supported by millions of Americans, is right out of the Chinese Fascist playbook.

          Some still claim China is a Communist nation. Nothing could be further from the truth. China is an authoritarian Fascist state created with the help of American corporations. Wal-Mart is just one American Corporation supporting slave labor, horrible working conditions, no Unions and a complete lack of workers’ rights.

          China extracts maximum profit through the abuse of its workers. America is being molded into a copy of the Chinese economic machine and corporations have convinced millions of Americans this transformation is alright. Manufacturing jobs will not come back to America, until the American labor market resembles Fascist China.

       
        Fascism must cause more damage before Democratic Socialism enters the scene and saves the day. We are still a few years away from that. Bernie is ahead of his time but cannot win the election in this election cycle. Americans have not awakened to the Fascist transformation occurring right under our noses. In the future we will see someone like Bernie emerge when everyone realizes the dangers of corporate Fascism. Twenty years, maybe.

          Socialism is the natural enemy of Fascism. Combined with a Bill of Rights and equal justice for all, Democratic Socialism will correct the abuses of Fascism. It’s just that people have not suffered enough under the current Corporate scheme and they are not ready to correct the Chinese economic model being foisted upon the American people.

          Bernie is ahead of his time but Hillary has the best chance to be POTUS at this time in history. Hopefully, Hillary will begin the task of correcting Corporate Fascism. However, she will have a very difficult time at first because the American people have not suffered enough under the Chinese model. In addition, an entire political party, is an ally of Corporatism and they will not be easily silenced.

         When Socialism corrects Corporate Fascism, it has not been without violence in the past. Hopefully the American correction will come without a violent overthrow similar to the French Revolution or what Pol Pot did in Cambodia.

In the meantime, Hillary is the best choice to temporarily stem the tide of Fascism. Bernie cannot be elected in today's environment.

Another Republican Wanting to Abuse Workers

Glenn Grothman, Wisconsin GOP Senator,
Fights for A Seven-Day Workweek

From a story located at:

 My comment:
What these Republicans are not telling you is that many workers, especially in the food industry, are forced to work overtime hours but are not paid overtime.

The agencies charged with enforcing labor laws have been cut to the bone with budget cuts. Small business employers know there is very little chance they will be caught because nobody is watching the chicken coup.

There was a day when employers paid overtime without the need of government enforcers. Employers were just better people in those days. Today, employers will cheat their workers every opportunity they get.

Greed and selfishness is the new American Capitalist model. I work at such a place. None of us have any loyalty to our employer. We all do as little work as possible. We will steal from our employer if we can. We will go to another job if we get a little more pay or the boss isn't as abusive.

It's because the boss only cares for his own welfare. The boss cares nothing for the workers making him money. Employers reap what they sow. We taught the modern world about Capitalism, then we forgot the lessons we taught.

U.S. Supreme Court set to hear challenge to public sector unions

U.S. Supreme Court set to hear challenge to public sector unions By Gary Donovan Snay


From a story located at: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/us-supreme-court-set-to-hear-challenge-to-public-sector-unions/ar-CCly5q?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=UP97DHP

My comment:
This whole ant-union movement shows the power of corporations and political groups to achieve the same goals as any dictatorship in the history of the world.

There is a simple fact. FREE SOCIETIES HAVE UNIONS. DICTATORSHIPS DON'T. Corporations are the new American dictatorship.

Big business has never liked unions because they cut into corporate profits. It is the same thinking suffered by Chinese workers. Corporations have brainwashed American workers into thinking Unions are bad, they are good. Many indoctrinated Americans think this is true.

An entire political party and its current front runner believe Americans are paid too much. There should not be a minimum wage. Child labor is alright. Health care should not be paid by employers. No sick leave. No maternal leave. No more vacation pay. In other words, everything for corporations and nothing for the workers that make them successful.

Americans reap what they sow. Unions worked hard to give workers a decent wage. Corporations won't be satisfied until the Chinese labor model is part of American culture. Congratulations you easily manipulated fools. Corporations will take everything from you.

It's difficult to understand why you people love corporations so much. They have never given you anything without a fight. Now you cower like pansies and let corporations take everything from you. Chickens! Cowards! Lovers of dictatorship. Pretty soon you can immigrate to China and make the same wage. You reap what you sow.

ACLU sues Jindal over 'religious freedom' order

Story located at:

My Comment:
Religious liberty does not undermine US Law. The Supreme Court was correct in its ruling using the Equal Protection Clause and the Due Process Clause of the Constitution. Equal rights with equal protections for all tax paying citizens was the only decision the Supremes could have made. Those who think the Bible comes before our Constitution are the real menace in America.

If the Supremes had decided the other way, based on a religious view, discriminating against tax paying citizens, all civil liberties would be at risk. In all the history of humanity, there has never been a successful religious government, no matter what the religion.

Christianity would fail miserably trying to rule America. As in the past, in all parts of the world, Christianity would have to impose a religious dictatorship on the American people. That won't go over so well in this part of the world. Can you imagine a Dominionist telling a bunch of Catholics or Jews how they are supposed to live? No way! Not without dictatorship.

Religious Liberty can potentially destroy all our Civil Liberties. Religious Liberty, misused can destroy the second Amendment. That's for all you gun nuts out there. The only reason you own guns is because a Secular government is protecting your right to do so. There are plenty of religions willing to take your guns from you in the name of Jesus.

Recently, elected officials breaking their oath to defend the Constitution have made all the headlines. Candidates for the Presidency are encouraging sedition in the name of their bible. Just we need, don’t you think? A President like Mike Huckabee, supporting sedition would be nice. This points out the need for better clarification of the term "Separation of Church and State".

In order to preserve our union, we need to make it very clear there will be no mixing of religion with government. A Constitutional Amendment needs to be drafted explaining what “Separation of Church and State" means. Changing our government from a secular government to a Christian based body would be a disaster.


Witness all the talk of treason coming from the lovers of Jesus and how if they got their way the Supreme Court would become irrelevant and we can look to a thousand church councils for guidance on every law congress passes. People better be finding ways to make the Supreme Court better and quit trying to nullify it. Beware of what you desire. You may get it.

Sanders pushes to give Americans a paid vacation


A comment submitted by someone responding to this story.
Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

Nearly 75 years ago, (when Welfare was introduced) Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Today, the government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land to China.

Bernie Sanders is like a watermelon: green on the outside, red on the inside. This man needs to be relegated back to the sidelines where he belongs.

My response:
Back in the days when union workers shed blood to make a 40-hour workweek normal, stop child labor and make overtime pay mandatory, you would have been one of those shooting and killing fellow Americans in order to keep workers slaves to the labor bosses.

Big business would never have allowed any benefits without the blood of American workers shed on our streets, years ago. Blood spilled by workers being shot by labor bosses not willing to share profits created by the sweat and skill of workers. This struggle between greedy rich people and the people who made then rich has always existed.

This conflict continues today as large corporations, in pursuit of more wealth, attempt to give less and less to those making them wealthy. The Chinese labor model is a dream come true for American businesses. Corporate America will not bring jobs home until they have an American slave market patterned after the Chinese at their disposal.

Most American workers provide far more toward the profitability of a company, than they are paid for their efforts. No company can survive without its workers and when employees make a company prosperous, that company is obligated to share in the profits its workers created. That is of course, if the labor boss appreciates those making him wealthy.

If labor bosses are driven so hard by their greed they cannot be aware of the people making them rich, then they need to invest in Chinese labor camps where they can denigrate and beat down their employees with impunity and suffer no consequences. Pardon me! That's exactly what American business is doing now.

The attitude of American businessmen has really gone to the dogs in my lifetime. There was a day in our country where if you worked more than eight hours in a day, you were paid overtime. You didn't have to work more than 40 hours in a week. If you worked graveyard shift, you were paid more. If you worked on Sunday, you were paid time and a half. If you worked on a holiday, you were paid two and a half times your hourly wage. More if you worked more than eight hours. These things were versions of family values practiced by all. These are Union family values.

American businesses did these things universally across our nation. Union mandates were not necessary. Laws were not necessary. American businessmen were better people and appreciated the sacrifice of the workers making them a profit. This all occurred when the American middle class exploded upon the world and made America the envy of all.

Today, we are all witness to the ravages of greed. There is a constant effort to pay workers as little as possible in the pursuit of profit. Don't pay women as much as men when they do the same job. Let children work for a lower wage in order to make more profit. Pay no benefits. Enslave the American worker as much as possible to enhance profit.

Scheme and connive ways to circumvent labor laws with no regard for the welfare of workers. Show a total lack of gratitude for the people making labor bosses wealthy. Ship jobs overseas where it is easier to enslave workers and increase profits. Loyalty to employees is completely absent. Loyalty to our nation is sacrificed in pursuit of profit.

Bernie Sanders is right. It will take men like him (or Hillary) to make American businesses become ethical again and participate in building the American dream, for all. We are not Chinese. We are better than those fascist communist pigs enslaving its workers in order to increase their profits for them and the benefit of American slave masters.

We must restore honor and ethics within the labor market either in law or the American worker must take to the streets shedding blood once more for labor rights. Big business will not treat workers honorably by themselves. They must be forced to do so. It may take radical action to rectify the problem.
