They were especially furious that I refused to promote political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, LGBTQ, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination. They were especially furious that I avoided the draft.)

— Trump’s campaign to attract LGBT voters is playing with fire The presence of LGBT political muscle within the Republican Party may lead to disaster. (DIERSEN: Ever-increasingly, those who promote LGBTQ focus on destroying all Republicans. They especially focus destroying all Republicans who are law enforcement officers, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, gun owners, Christian, Italian American, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. I should write a book about those who promote LGBTQ, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. They crow about the damage that they have done to me, my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails, Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, Illinois Republican Party, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton Downtown Association, TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois, Illinois Center Right Coalition, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter, my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois.)

My not being a minority or female always hindered my job searches with employers that were under pressure to hire minorities and females. In 1971, Oldsmobile withdrew a job offer that I had accepted saying that Oldsmobile had just agreed to stop hiring Whites to settle an EEOC complaint. That directly resulted in a) Firestone Stores firing me and b) my accepting a job offer from IRS.)
