— Democrats ever-increasingly promote stories about minorities and about women who have benefitted from Affirmative Action (AA), that is, who have benefitted from reparations, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish stories about those like me who have been forced to pay the price of AA by Democrats and by RINOs. I challenge the Daily Herald to publish my story. In 1971, when I was 22 years old, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that it had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. Sadly, if not tragically for me, that directly resulted in my accepting a job offer from IRS. Especially after 1974, my Democrat IRS superiors used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA examination, let alone passed it. I earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. In 1980, because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, veteran. and/or younger, GAO forced me to suffer a $21,863/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO. My Democrat GAO superiors gave me unfair job assignments, performance expectations, and performance appraisals. They assigned me to supervised all their most problematic employees. The kept me off audits of IRS for all but 3 of the almost 18 years that I worked for GAO. They delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13. They used AA to promote over me my coworkers who were minority, female, and/or veteran and a) who had less job-related work experience than I had, b) who had less job-related education than I had, and/or c) who had not taken the CPA or Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) examinations, let alone passed them. I earned a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, I passed the CIA examination on my first attempt in 1981, I became a licensed CPA in 1981, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner in 1990, Government Financial Manager in 1994, Financial Services Auditor in 1996, and Forensic Accountant in 1997, and I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT in 1997. They always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes. They forced me to take their early retirement “offer” in 1997 and gave my job and my preferred corner office to my Black subordinate. The Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton, Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Milton Township, DuPage County, Illinois, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, etc. have all taken many big adverse actions against me that they would never had taken against me if I was a minority, female, veteran, and/or younger.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: As a longtime member of the National Governing Body of the Sport of Sailing, I just received a calendar and request for funding from Kristi Yamaguchi on behalf of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation. It is titled “Unity in Diversity * Celebrating the Diversity of Team USA.” The calendar highlights “diversity” by assigning each month a highlight of an aspect of diversity. Starting in January, they are: World Braille Day, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Earth Day, Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, LGBTQ+ Pride Month, Disability Pride Month, Women’s Equality Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Native American Heritage Month and International Day of Persons with Disabilities. As a white American, straight male who is the direct descendant of nine male veterans of the American Revolution, we get no recognition. Not even Independence Day. Without them and their fellow soldiers, there would be no TEAM US (America).)
