North Carolina Law

 

This article is a small example of ways media attempts to perpetuate a political agenda based on race.  How?  It is done through the editorial comments that this voting rights law was in a southern state.  The state was formerly a confederate state. The law was passed by Republicans and critics of the law asserted that the law intended to restrict the right of American citizens of black skin from voting.   The assertion that the accusation by the critics of the law reflected the fact of the intention is further communicated by inclusion by the editor that the voiding of the law by the Federal court of the fourth circuit was based on that accusation.  And the editors prejudice is cemented by communicating  that the US Supreme court’s refusal to hear the case upheld the lower court’s decision that the law was intended as racial prejudice.  However, in the body of the article it is reported that the former Republican administration passed the law.  That the law was opposed by Democrats and the NAACP.  The present Democrat governor of  NC does not want to pursue the former Republican administration’s appeal but the State legislature thinks it has a right to continue the appeal.  The end result?  The US Supreme court in a two page statement said that the confusion within the State of NC as to which executive or legislative body has a legal right to pursue the appeal is enough to not hear the case.

Granted,  some will claim that the US Supreme has reviewed the actual case and discussed it on the merits and decided not to hear the case because by doing so the US Supreme court accomplished two things:  It lets the idea continue that the previous court’s judgement that the law was a racially motivated attempt by a former Confederate State to limit Americans of black skin from voting;  Second, it allowed the court to keep out of the political argument.  But is this truth or the interpretation of the editor?  Did the court actually spend the time to review the fourth circuit court documents, testimony and legal arguments or did the court refuse the case because the legal standing of the parties involved was murky and such a case would take too much time on an already full court docket?

This author takes the position that the two page document is the whole affair and the court is not thereby ruling that the law passed by a former Republican legislature and signed by a former Republican governor is clear evidence of their continued Confederate leanings and of their intention to limit the rights of American citizens of black skin from voting.   In others words, the editor’s innuendo that the NC Carolina people are racists is really evidence of the stereotypical prejudice and racial bias of the editor.  And Yes, if the reporter and editor are both of white skin, it is very possible for white skinned people to be racially prejudice against other people of white skin.

The one thing that bothers me today is the overwhelming coverage by Google, Yahoo, Bing, and the Internet news media with the theme among all of them that one sentence in the presidential show last night was the clincher and Donald Trump has definitely lost any chance of being elected. Maybe I am an optimist, maybe I am a realist, but I do not think that the election is over until the election is over. The public media campaign from the very beginning has been that Mr. Donald Trump, a successful businessman, is not able to be President because he is not a politician.

Yes, I know that many readers will immediately take exception to that capsule statement. But boiled down to essentials, it is the key element in all main street media statements about Donald Trump. So, one can only wonder at the collective psychology that produced such unanimous opinion over so many weeks. Of course, the proponents of this political strategy will say that the cause is Mr. Trump himself. As one liberal headline read, “We told you and we warned you, but you wouldn’t listen!” I can only reply, “Wow”, does that liberal want to tell Trump supporters, who he has trashed for weeks an ignorant, backwoods, redneck, uneducated, deplorable… does he want, now , to shout that all along he cared for Republicans, or Trump supporters, or the nation. Not true!–fact check– not true. Such crowing hubris is nothing more than self-congratulatory pride masquerading as sincere love for people and country.
Well, we will see. People like me will vote for Trump. And if we lose we may just shut down, and drop out. Hey that would be interesting.

Donald Trump is an American product.  He is the leader of a revolution but he is not the maker of that revolution.  He is the Presidential candidate for the Republican party, a position that many people say he does not deserve.  Donald Trump is the voice and the hope of many American citizens who feel shut out of their own country.

During the election primaries many said that Donald Trump could not succeed.  The Republican party had seventeen candidates for President.  In Trump’s own estimation, they were the brightest and best of the politicians in the USA.  His task would be to defeat each one in the public arena and to motivate everyday American voters to get up, get out and to vote for him.  He succeeded.

It was no small task for Donald Trump to best his adversaries.  He is not a politician but he is a successful businessman who was associated with wealth and glitz, hotels and gambling, penthouses and golf courses.  His opponents  were Governors, Senators and Congressmen.  But Donald Trump the billionaire is also a man who liked everyday people.  He is a man who appreciates the hard work and dedication of hundreds of thousands of his employees who are partners with him in the success of the Trump enterprise. People said that he would never be able to communicate his genuine affection and profound respect for working people.  He succeeded.

Going into the Republican National Convention many doubted that he could produce a meaningful political gathering worthy of a Presidential candidate.  Weeks of newspaper, TV and radio reporting said that the convention would be a meaningless show of glitz and entertainment.  They predicted a big battle of different ideas that would tear the fabric of Republican unity and leave the party shredded and in tatters.  That did not happen.  The convention was meaningful, and it was entertaining.  It was calm and it was eventful.  It was a good old fashioned American political convention.  Once again Donald Trump succeeded.

It was the Democrat convention that was in turmoil.  It was mired in the scandal of Emails from the Democrat National Committee that revealed a plot to derail Bernie Sanders in every underhanded way possible.  It was further damaged by the raucous and unruly attendees who shouted down speakers and carried such a threat to the DNC that they erected fences around the outside and around the inside of the arena in order to keep the people away from mauling the presenters.

Convicted of her complicity with the Emails, the chairwoman of the DNC resigned in disgrace only to be immediately rewarded by the Clinton campaign with a new paid position on Hilary’s team. This scene was played again the following week when other high ranking officials of the DNC were forced to resign in disgrace for their part in underhanded dirty politics against Bernie Sanders.  All of this turmoil indicated a Democrat party controlled by one family, the Clinton family.  It revealed a powerful dynastic elite that would allow no true opposition to former President Clinton’s wife.   It proved that beyond a doubt, the Democrat party members would vote for Hilary because  she was a woman and because they said she deserved to be President.

This sense of entitlement and privilege is the true story of the Democrat party and of the Democrat nominee.  Just being a woman was touted before the nation as unique and worthy of our admiration- not mention that such an attitude for the rest of us is called sexism, male chauvinism, and workplace harassment.  And the sense of privilege and wealth was repeated display by Mrs. Clinton twelve thousand dollar pants suits.   Clothing that she is able to get because of $250,000 fees for a one hour stage appearance at the haunts of the bankers, industrialists, special interests, lobbyists, and Saudi Arabian desert sheiks- sheiks who behead homosexuals and force woman into household slavery.

Ultimately, Trump who has been elevated by this new American political revolution will face the crucible of the election.  It will be an election like no other because it will determine whether the old guard of entrenched political careerists like Hilary Clinton will be allowed to cement another eight years of crooked cronyism and privileged power brokers into the institutions of our nation.  It will determine whether we will suffer from the packing of the Supreme court with Clinton’s arrogant liberals who will infect the fabric of our nation with the poison of atheist socialism.  Lastly, it will determine whether America, as we all have known it,  will be allowed to flourish again.  Donald J. Trump has been declared by the patriots of this new American political revolution to be their voice and their champion.  He is one man.  But he is a man with a vision of a great nation once again standing tall in a world of craven terrorists and arrogant opportunists.

Will he succeed?  Yes, he will succeed. But it will only be possible if  the warriors of this revolution do not lose heart but keep constant focus  and commitment to the principles on which we stand.  America needs a change, a change from the old ways of politicians to the new ways of a free and proud people.
