WASHINGTON TIMES
— House passes Democrats’ historic election bill – Gabriella Muñoz and Stephen Dinan (DIERSEN: Government is nasty. Politics is nasty. Are you a Republican Precinct Committeeman? I have been one since 1999. What discourages you the most from helping elect Republican candidates in your precinct? For me, it is knowing the success that Democrat plants, Libertarian plants, Green plants, and RINOs in the Milton Township Republican Central Committee, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party have had a) in painting me as being a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things and b) in turning voters in my precinct against me. They hint/imply/argue/shout at voters in my precinct that the more that I promote a candidate, the more that candidate is a White supremacist, Nazi, KKK member, hater, racist, sexist, bigot, and even worse things. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)

— If Google can’t kill the gender pay gap, who can? – Tim Worstall (DIERSEN: What did you do to qualify yourself for better paying jobs? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. Virtually none of my Democrat superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and in federal government did that. To get better paying jobs, they helped their superiors get rid of employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who had not made GS-13 (currently $96,403) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $113,920) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $134,000) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $164,200) by age 40, that is, they helped implement Affirmative Action, Diversity, Inclusion, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, retaliation, up-or-out, and even worse things.)

AMERICAN THINKER
— Female Democrats celebrate hate on International Women’s Day – Ethel C. Fenig (DIERSEN: What do you say to females who promote hatred against individuals, against organizations, against companies, against governments, and against countries that are Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, rich, gun owners, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time?)

— The Left vs. Life in General – Deana Chadwell
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/the_left_vs_life_in_general.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are dear, or once were dear, to the hearts of all Americans. These are the sacred rights of all human beings — “sacred” because they are God-given and are not derived from government, rather government’s only mandate is to provide cover for those rights. However, due to decades of twisted school curricula, and of postmodern, subjective journalism, we’ve arrived at a place where a sizable percentage of our population finds equality, immorality, and environmentalism superior concepts. In fact the left finds these ideas so compelling that they are willing to sacrifice the lives of us all to impose widespread adherence to these new gods. Equality alone is deadly. Despite its description as “leveling the playing field” there is nothing level, nothing honest about it. The left openly wants to redistribute wealth as if a cosmic unfairness had declared some rich and some poor and government’s job is to rectify that. That attitude might have made sense back in feudal times, when upward mobility was close to impossible, but it makes no sense at all in a society where millions have manufactured their own wealth and the door of possibilities stands wide open. At least for now.)
