— Freedom is the right to inequality, or an equal right to be unequal – Oleg Atbashian
(COMMENT: My Democrat superiors in the federal government were furious when I earned job-related university degrees in 1970, 1976, 1980, and 1997; job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997; and a job-related professional license in 1981 because my Democrat coworkers and subordinates failed/refused to do that.)
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/09/freedom_is_the_right_to_inequality_or_an_equal_right_to_be_unequal.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: People, by their nature, are not uniform. We are all different, and immediate equality among us can only be achieved by forcibly bringing us to the lowest common denominator. Equality between the rich and the poor can only be achieved by confiscating the riches. Equality between the strong and the weak can only be achieved by emasculating the strong. Equality between the smart and the stupid can only be achieved by casting intelligence as a defect. Thus, a fully equitable society would be a society of the poor, the weak, and the stupid, held together by force.)

— Reporters Furious After Screaming White House Staffers Block Them From Asking Biden a Single Question – Jack Davis

They stopped me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks. They ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship, my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership, my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service twice, my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership, and my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member ship. They almost succeeded in getting ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters.)
