— Democrats claim ‘big tent’ for first convention in pandemic (DIERSEN: Far too many Republican organizations, including the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, allow people to hold leadership positions who reject many, if not most, of the planks in the Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. The aforesaid leaders focus on driving conservatives out of the Republican Party, that is, they focus on driving the base of the Republican Party out of the Republican Party. Further, they focus on driving those who have the following demographics out of the Republican Party: Trump supporter, White, male, older, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)

(SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutan_v._Republican_Party_of_Illinois and http://www.nytimes.com/1996/03/13/us/seeking-return-to-ways-of-patronage-in-politics.html ) Because of the Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois decision, my U.S. Senators and their staff members and my U.S. Representatives and their staff members made it very clear that they did NOT want to hear my complaints about political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation in the federal government. All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois. My Democrat IRS and GAO superiors treated me like I was part of a plot to stop them from hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females. They were fully aware of the arguments that Thompson, Jim Edgar, and Lee Daniels made in Rutan that government employers should be allowed to engage in patronage and political affiliation discrimination.)
https://capitolfax.com/2020/08/17/republicans-blast-pritzker-for-trying-to-lift-shakman-decrees/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eleni Demertzis with the House Republicans…While Shakman and Rutan are two separate cases, they are intertwined in that both cases involve political influence in employment decisions. One involved seeking donations for keeping their jobs or avoiding disciplinary while the other dealt with hiring and firings due to political affiliation. In both instances, politics come into play when deciding what course of action to take. To remove one protection against political influence in state employment decisions at a time when a state-regulated company admitted in an official federal court document to hiring associates of an extremely high level legislative official in return for legislative action that has an estimated value of at least $150 million, is extremely short-sighted and ignores the unethical actions of Democratic state officials. It is naïve to think that just because ComEd was a private entity hiring associates of a state official, that it does not or would not happen with a governmental entity. If the Governor wants to call for the special session on ethics that we have been calling for, we can work together in a bipartisan nature to clean up the state and restore faith in our government. Otherwise, removing a protection from political influence in state employment decision-making will just further re-enforce to our constituents that it’s business as usual in spite of all the federal indictments.)

— Nothing ‘Systemic’ About Avoiding Responsibility – Michael Reagan with Michael R. Shannon (DIERSEN: I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who focus on destroying traditional marriage and destroying the traditional family. To promote LGBTQ is to destroy traditional marriage and to destroy the traditional family.)
https://www.newsmax.com/reagan/brookings-secular-values/2020/08/15/id/982272/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: America doesn’t suffer from “systemic racism.” America suffers from systemic irresponsibility. A lack of responsibility aided and abetted by therapeutic, leftist government. The Heritage Foundation’s multimaedia news organization, The Daily Signal, recently analyzed a report from the Joint Economic Committee of Congress titled “The Demise of the Happy Two-Parent Home.” The numbers are shocking and prove individual decisions determine one’s outcome in life. Not “systemic racism” or some other personal responsibility solvent. The foundation that individual decisions are based on is cultural values and that is where the problems begin. As values erode or are trashed by the prevailing secular culture, the result ripples dangerously through the population. “The report exhaustively presents data showing the shocking collapse of marriage and traditional family in America and then explores possible explanations for why it has happened. “In 1962, 71% of women ages 15-44 were married. “By 2019, this was down to 42%. In 1962, 5% of women ages 30-34 had never been married. By 2019, this was up to 35%. And the percentage of births to unmarried women has risen from 5% in 1960 to 40% in 2018.” The demographic breakdown of those ominous figures explains much of what is ailing and attempting to destroy our nation today. The Center for Equal Opportunity reports, “Late last year, the final data for 2018 were published . . . For all racial and ethnic groups combined, 39.6% of births in the United States were out-of-wedlock. For blacks, the number is 69.4%; for American Indians/Alaska Natives, 68.2% (Native Hawaiians/Other Pacific Islanders were at 50.4%); for Hispanics, 51.8%; for whites, 28.2%; and for Asian Americans, a paltry 11.7%.” Those figures alone explain the different economic outcomes among demographic groups in the USA. Not “systemic racism” or “white privilege.” Two–parent privilege is the most important factor in a young child’s life. Yet big government encourages irresponsible lifestyles by subsidizing dysfunction. The Daily Signal again, “The report examines several possible factors, a major one being the dramatic growth in the welfare state supporting female heads of household. According to the report, ‘The value of the safety net for single-mother families is 133% higher today than in 1940, and 56% higher than in 1960.'” That is the government undermining personal values at the expense of those children’s and the nation’s future. The three keys to success are simple and the formula was offered by a scholar with the leftist Brookings Institution named Ron Haskins: “American adults who follow three rules— finish high school; get a full-time job; and wait until at least age 21 to get married and have children — have a 2% chance of being poor and a 75% chance of being a middle-class wage earner.” Proving it’s not the system blocking progress for minorities in the United States. It’s personal decisions.)

All my critics/opponents, all their operatives and all their dupes promote patronage and political affiliation discrimination and reject the decision in Rutan v. Republican Party of Illinois.

Dole came to the heart of Republican territory in Illinois for a Fourth of July parade and patriotic celebration and said America had endured as a great nation because of “the values of the heartland.” On a warm, summer morning, Dole joined thousands of local residents at the annual Wheaton parade, walking the length of the 1.3-mile parade route that was lined with people who cheered and applauded as he passed by. Wheaton lies in the heart of one of the most GOP counties in the country, a suburban Republican bastion that is crucial to his hopes of unseating President Clinton in November. The enthusiastic reception at the end of a week in which Dole had once again stumbled on the tobacco issue seemed to boost his spirits and buoy his confidence in the race to overtake Clinton. “We’re going to make it,” Dole crowed as he stopped to greet some of the well-wishers. “Wipe him out.” Later at a rally at Memorial Park, Dole recalled the spirit of 1776 as he extolled American virtues and recounted the nation’s triumph over Nazi Germany in World War II and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. “Look around the world this beautiful summer day and ask yourself what has endured,” Dole said. “All those empires have passed away. They were built on raw power and heartless ideology. After more sacrifice and suffering that can never be measured, they are gone.” What has endured, Dole said, are places that symbolize the strength of heartland America, like his home town of Russell, Kan., or like Wheaton. He added, “As long as we hold to the values of the way we began on July 4, 1776, the United States of America will always endure.” But Dole said the United States must never allow its defenses to be weakened, and pointed to the truck bombing in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 Americans as evidence of the terrorist threats and anti-American forces that exist around the world. “We don’t know exactly who’s responsible for this latest outrage,” he said. “The long list of suspects makes clear there is no shortage of those willing to attack innocent people. But together as a nation we resolve that the murderers will be captured and brought to justice — and they should be — and the punishment ought to be death.” Dole also offered his audience this bit of patriotic rhetoric: “I would tell this audience here today, there’s no place like America. There’s no place on Earth like America. This is America. Right today is America. The Fourth of July is America. This is America.” Wheaton is the county seat of DuPage County, the biggest Republican county in Illinois, which has regularly supplied enough votes to help Republican candidates offset Democratic Chicago. Clinton captured only 31 percent of the vote in DuPage four years ago, but President George Bush received just 47 percent, far below the normal level of support for Republicans. Gov. Jim Edgar (R), who accompanied Dole today, said the Republican candidate needs a big victory in suburban Chicago and still has some ways to go. “He’ll do very well downstate,” Edgar said, referring to the counties outside the Chicago metropolitan area. “In the suburbs, the key is to carry it by as big a margin as possible. . . . He needs to be here more. They just don’t know him as well as they should.” Gayle Franzen, the county executive and a Republican, agreed that Dole needs to spend more time in the suburbs but said by November the Republican candidate will be in strong shape here. “The whole integrity issue is sticking {on Clinton},” he said. “In this county {integrity} means everything. Dole is going to set the tone for this.” Walking the parade route this morning, Dole often set a brisk pace, but he paused along the way to shake hands and pose for photographs with those who had come to see him. Local residents said this year’s crowd was larger than usual because of Dole’s participation. “Even a 100-year-old woman at the nursing home knew Dole was coming to town,” said Susan Whelton, who watched Dole pass by. The parade was filled with fire trucks and old cars and floats and the parade route was lined with families with small children. “Go citizen Bob!” yelled one man as the candidate walked by. Jon and Leigh Ann Vock said they had reserved their places along the parade route by putting down chairs at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 hours earlier than usual. Both said they were strong Dole supporters. “If he picks a candidate {for vice president} who’s pro-life, we’ll really, really be supportive,” she said. “We’ll go door to door.” Jim and Diane Neptune also said they support Dole. “We’re Republicans,” she said. Her husband said that unless Dole can come up with something fresh, “it’s going to be a tight race” against Clinton. “But there’s still a lot of time. It’s good that he is out here. People need to know who he is.”)

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/07/what_causes_white_guilt.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The U.S. education system has been thoroughly infiltrated by Marxist faculty and administrators hell-bent on doing their part to help dismantle America’s two-party constitutional democracy in favor of single-party socialist rule. One of their most potent weapons in turning politically malleable young minds against their parents — and their country — is white privilege indoctrination. Most parents have no idea of what’s being taught in public schools. In “Bill Ayers, the ‘Critical Pedagogy’ Movement, and ‘Cultural Marxism,” conservative writer Geoffrey Britain wrote this: “In many of our public schools, impressionable young children are no longer being taught to be proud of being Americans. Their school teachers, who traditionally embody socially approved values, are teaching them to be ashamed of being Americans. Spreading out from the schools that teach our teachers, this ideology is being inculcated into our nation’s K-12 schools, and is anti-American in the most profound meaning of the term. It is a movement that is teaching future generations that capitalism and traditional American values are intrinsically evil. Critical pedagogy and its advocates, in their vehement antipathy towards capitalism, private property and traditional American values amount to a fifth subversive column, no less dangerous to freedom than communism. Its advocates are seeking to radically transform our society by covertly indoctrinating the young through an essentially clandestine and subversive transformation of our culture.” The kind of teachers to whom Britain referred have two things in common: (1) they all have turned to the side of the hammer and sickle, and (2) they all are Democrats. . .In public schools across America, activist Democrat teachers are pushing a failed and oppressive ideology on captive young minds, often with the tacit approval of their superiors. You can bet everything you own that activist Democrats in academia are also infecting their students with white privilege guilt. As a major part of the Democratic Party’s election strategy, white privilege ideology is taught to thousands of teachers and administrators at annual white privilege conferences. . .One of the Third Reich’s most devastating propaganda techniques is known as the “Big Lie”: If you’re going to lie, make it a Big Lie, keep repeating it, and people will believe it. That’s what Democrats do with white privilege ideology — relentlessly repeat it until people believe it. Writing in his weekly column “Our Broken Moral Compasses,” black American professor Dr. Walter Williams exposed white privilege for the Big Lie it is: “Then there’s white privilege. Colleges have courses and seminars on “whiteness.” One college even has a course titled “Abolition of Whiteness.” According to academic intellectuals, whites enjoy advantages that nonwhites do not. They earn higher incomes and reside in better housing, and their children go to better schools and achieve more. Based on those socio-economic statistics, Japanese-Americans have more white privilege than white people.” . . . Despite horrible injustices of the past, no country in history has done more than this country to correct wrongs once committed against an oppressed minority of its own citizens. Democrats know that, but acknowledging it would undercut their most poisonous Big Lie: that even after all these years, America is still a racist hellhole, as it most definitely was when Knight Riders in white robes and white hoods served as the violent enforcement arm of Democrat governors, mayors, and police chiefs.)
