BLOOMINGTON PANTAGRAPH
— Illinois GOP chairman Don Tracy hopes to unify party’s factions, defeat Pritzker next year – BRENDEN MOORE
(DIERSEN: Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. I have always been a platform Republican. I should write a book about Illinois Republican Party leaders who have worked the hardest since 2000 to get rid of Republicans like me who support the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)
https://www.pantagraph.com/news/state-and-regional/govt-and-politics/illinois-gop-chairman-don-tracy-hopes-to-unify-partys-factions-defeat-pritzker-next-year/article_9fb79584-66de-5b8a-8d47-5acfddd9bd71.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Tracy is hoping to take the same approach with the Illinois Republican Party, an organization that has been divided between the traditional moderate wing that dominated for decades with central figures like Jim Thompson and Jim Edgar; and an ascendant, conservative wing that has gained traction with the rise of the Tea Party movement and the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. “I think those are the kind of issues that are somewhat similar for a party,” Tracy said. “And you can recognize pretty early on in a family business in a large family that the perfect is the enemy of the good. And in the Republican Party, unfortunately, we’ve had experience with people thinking you have to be perfect to be a Republican, and that that’s not true.” . . . However, Tracy said he will put practicality over purity as he seeks to steer his party back to relevance. He said he envisions a big tent party. In fact, it’s a necessity. “The Reagan rule is 80%. If someone agrees with you on 80% of the issues if a Republican, that means that that Republican is your ally, not your enemy,” Tracy said. “If we don’t unite the party, almost nothing else that we do next year will matter,” Tracy said. “We’re a minority party — a Republican Party in a deep blue state. And we have to have all Republicans working together, not always agreeing about everything, but working together to make this state into a two-party state again.” . . . Exacerbating the problem is a national party that is increasingly out of step with the diversifying, socially moderate Chicago suburbs, albeit increasingly reflective of conservative bastions downstate.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: The class of 1949 gifted the plaque to the school in 1957 to commemorate their slain classmates, who were killed in 1956 during their attempt to bring the gospel to the violent Huaorani, or Auca Indians, in the rainforest of Ecuador. Elliot and McCully, along with fellow missionaries Nate Saint, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian, initially made friendly contact with the tribe and exchanged gifts for several months. On Jan. 8, 1956, however, a group of Huaorani warriors fell upon them, spearing them to death and throwing their bodies in the river.)

— Democrats and Republicans live in partisan bubbles, study finds – Christina Pazzanese
(DIERSEN: What kind of bubble do you live in? 269 in my precinct voted for Biden, but only 157 voted for Trump. 39,530 voted for Biden in Milton Township, but only 26,080 voted for Trump. 281,222 voted for Biden in DuPage County, but only 193,611 voted for Trump. Ever-increasingly, I am a Republican who lives in a Democrat bubble. I should write a book about that.)
https://phys.org/news/2021-03-democrats-republicans-partisan.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: New research on political behavior finds that most Democratic and Republican voters live in partisan bubbles, with little daily exposure to those who belong to the other party. For instance the typical Democrat has “almost zero interactions” with Republicans in their neighborhood, according to an article by Harvard doctoral student Jacob R. Brown and government Professor Ryan D. Enos published March 8 in the journal Nature Human Behaviour. “There’s a lot of evidence that any separation between groups has a lot of negative consequences. We see this in race; we see this in religion; we see this in all kinds of things,” said Enos. “And increasingly, we see this in partisanship in the United States.” . . . No area of the country is immune to the segregation, but its intensity varies. Democrats in large, densely populated cities like New York are the most politically isolated, with 10 percent of them encountering a Republican only one out of 10 times in their neighborhood. Republicans in rural areas are similarly segregated. Overall, most Democrats and Republicans live in levels of partisan segregation that exceed what scholars of racial segregation consider highly segregated, the study found. . .”Even within a neighborhood, Democrats and Republicans are separating from each other a little bit,” said Enos. That seems like “an almost unnatural level of segregation” given the similarities people from the same neighborhood usually share and “might indicate there’s something pretty pernicious going on,” he added.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Conservative writer Michael Medved estimates that only 5% of whites in America “bear any authentic sort of generational guilt for the exploitation of slave labor.” Why should anyone but Democrats pay? Scholar Dinesh D’Souza notes that all but a “handful” of slave owners were Democrats. The Ku Klux Klan, at its height of power and popularity, was known by the NAACP as the “terror wing” of the Democratic Party. The KKK was founded by Democrats; I did not say by the Democratic Party, but by Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more House Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did House Democrats. As a percentage of their party, more Senate Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than did Senate Democrats.)

That shows that hate-filled Trump-haters either do not care about the aforesaid planks or that they reject the aforesaid planks.)

WASHINGTON TIMES
— ‘So much shame’: Woke left-wingers increasingly embarrassed over White ‘privileged’ status – James Varney
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/8/white-privileged-status-embarrasses-woke-left-wing/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Once associated with Hollywood virtue signalers or those whose racist behavior was exposed by social media or video, apologizing for a White birthday suit has become more mainstream. Former CIA Director John O. Brennan, who currently opines as a paid MSNBC contributor, told the network’s audience last week that he was “increasingly embarrassed to be a white male.” In Amherst, Massachusetts, the Town Council issued a letter of apology and recommended its members for anti-racism training after a White female councilor attempted to participate in a community safety working group that was drafting alternative policing proposals. “As a Town Council of majority white people benefiting from white privilege, we need to continually push ourselves to be actively anti-racist and to be cognizant of the power dynamics that exist between us as elected officials and the members of the global majority including the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in our community,” the letter said. The council approved the letter last month in an 8-1 vote. Americans are rushing to apologize as their institutions are being infused with critical race theory, an academic viewpoint that White people, all of them to at least some degree, maintain social and economic advantage by oppressing people of color. Meanwhile, The New York Times’ 1619 Project seeks to reframe the nation’s founding at the year when the first slave ship arrived on North American shores, making racism the dominant theme of the American experience. The mindset is increasingly prevalent in schools, government and corporate America. Students and workers are put through classes and seminars that brand all White people as oppressors regardless of their conscious thoughts and actions toward others.)

I should write a book about RINOs. I would focus on those who have led the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. I would focus on those who have been candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers.)

DISPATCH
— Democrats’ Election Bill Is a Disaster for Free Speech  The For the People Act has been hailed as an expansion of voters’ rights, but its real effect will be chilling political speech. – Ryan Morrison
https://thedispatch.com/p/democrats-election-bill-is-a-disaster
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Under the proposed law, an advocacy group that so much as mentions the name of a member of Congress in an ad about important issues will almost always have to expose its major donors. For example, a group could advocate for or against “Biden’s COVID Recovery Bill” and the new regulations will apply. The donors may not know about the ad and may not even agree with its message. It doesn’t matter. They still will be listed on the group’s government filings and posted on the internet for the world to see. Naturally, potential donors will hesitate to give to an organization, especially if the group promotes controversial issues. Think about it. The government is requiring nonprofits to create an “enemies list” for their political opponents. And politicians are not bashful about using this kind of information. For example, in 2019, Rep. Joaquin Castro tweeted the names and employers of major Trump donors in his congressional district. Almost immediately, donors were flooded with harassing and threatening phone calls. No one deserves this abuse, regardless of their political beliefs. Political participation should not come with the risk of a mob showing up in your front yard or losing your job as the latest victim of today’s cancel culture. The consequence of all this will be less speech. Fewer individuals will give to causes they believe in for fear of receiving threats or harassment. Nonprofits will think twice before speaking about the government so they can protect their donors. In a country that prides itself on freedom of political expression, people will be silenced, and organizations will not advocate for their causes.)
