— It’s Official: Patriotism Is Conservative — and Bad – Steve Feinstein
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, Independent plants, and RINOs who have demonized, denigrated, and condemned conservatives like me the most. I would focus on those who have blamed me the most and have blamed my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters the most for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton. I would focus on those who focus on destroying those like me they cannot manipulate/dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover-up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on unsuccessful Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their major donors, their political consultants, their fundraisers, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their campaign volunteers. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Milton Township Republican Organization, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, religious organizations, and conservative organizations. I would focus on those who reject the traditional marriage/family, right to life, immigration, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform. I would focus on those who promote dependency on government, dependency on charity, LGBTQ, CRT, 1619, BLM, reparations, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, and age discrimination. I would focus on those who I have sued.)

— The logic of racism – Arnold Cusmariu
(DIERSEN: I should write a book about those who have hinted/implied/argued/shouted that I am a racist. Better yet, I should sue them.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/07/the_logic_of_racism.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: These days, just about the most damaging charge that can be leveled against one’s character is being a racist. True or not, justified or not, the charge by itself is often sufficient to harm a person’s reputation, lead to ostracism, and even cause loss of employment. Profuse apologies (and groveling) may work in the short term but in the long term one is never quite certain that the stain has been washed away.)

LEGAL INSURRECTION
— Raytheon CRT Training: White Employees “must work on ‘recognizing [their] privilege’ and ‘step aside’ for minorities” Raytheon “encourages white employees to ‘defund the police,’ “participate in reparations,” ‘decolonize your bookshelf,’ ‘join a local ‘white space’.”
(DIERSEN: How many people do you know who have taken lots of diversity training? Democrats use diversity training to get rid of Republicans. The Democrats who run the federal government require all their employees to take lots of diversity training. I worked for the Democrats who ran the federal government for almost 30 years. I should write a book about all the diversity training that I took. That training hinted/implied/argued/shouted that Republicans are White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should gotten rid of once and for all. That helps explain why federal employees who are Democrat do not want to work for, work with, or supervise federal employees who are Republican. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats.)

EPOCH TIMES
— A Defeat in the Courts for Biden’s Racist ‘Equity’ Policies – Roger L. Simon
https://www.theepochtimes.com/a-defeat-in-the-courts-for-bidens-racist-equity-policies_3895020.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If you were an Armenian Christian who fled your home to Glendale, California in 1915 to escape a genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Turks that killed roughly one million of your countrymen and women, how would you feel about paying reparations for black slavery that ended more than fifty years before you arrived? Not so good, I would imagine. The whole concept of so-called reparations in America is mired in such contradictions, tens of millions having migrated to this country from all over the world and continuing to do so well more than a century after slavery ended. Many of these people suffered from onerous, sometimes extremely onerous, even life threatening, conditions of their own. Yet, the Biden administration—under, among other things, the meretricious mask of something called “equity,” as opposed to “equality”—is asking millions of our fellow citizens to pay for an acknowledged evil, slavery, in which they did not remotely participate.)

https://www.creators.com/read/wayne-allyn-root/07/21/conservative-national-radio-host-wayne-allyn-root-announces-support-for-black-reparations
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But who is to blame? It’s sure not white Americans. Most of us have had nothing to do with the decline of black America. The vast majority of white Americans have never done a bad thing to a black person in our lives. We don’t run their cities. We don’t go near their cities. We literally have nothing to do with black America. And none of us were alive for slavery or the civil war, or Jim Crow. My grandparents came to America in the 1920s. They lived in New York. They experienced their own prejudice and discrimination. My relatives had nothing to do with slavery, racism or any civil rights violations. So, yes blacks are owed reparations. But who’s to blame? There’s only one common denominator: DEMOCRATS. The Democratic Party and Democratic politicians are to blame.)
