*******************************************

 Professional sports have been examples of excellence for ourselves and our children.  They have matched up the best players, regardless of skin color or ethnicity, and set the highest standard of human achievement that merits the respect of all Americans.  Its champions have inspired and become heroes to all of us.

 But now, to advance equality and fairness, we must end this.  We must, as in many other professions, replace merit with a different standard that reflects the makeup of America as a whole.
 
This must be done by what civil rights rulings have called "disparate impact."  If a community is 12 percent Eskimo, but a local company has less than this share of Eskimo employees, this is to be seen as clear evidence of racial discrimination.  It must be corrected by a preferential quota requiring hiring of Eskimos.

 African-American males, for example, are only about six percent of America's population, yet they are so talented that they are approximately 70 percent of NFL and 74.4 percent of NBA players.

 The NFL and NBA, to fix this racial equality, should be required to hire and fire players by race until by, say, 2020, each team fits the mix of America itself.  In the most recent Census, the USA was 12.6 percent African-American, 16.3 percent Hispanic or Latino, 4.8 percent Asian-American, and 72.4 percent white.  NFL and NBA players should reflect that same racial proportion.

 If our sports are to be politicized, then it is time we make merit and talent secondary and impose racial quotas first and foremost.  Sports should reflect America's proportion of races.

 Painful as it will be to lose the excellence of today's pro football and basketball, these teams should be brought into line with America's national racial profile.  To do less would be racist.  Our sports should be examples of racial equality not only in words and gestures, but also in fact.

 This proves a point I always try to make...namely, that the common liberal is nothing but fodder to the elite liberals. The common liberals simply parody and act as the megaphones for the Progressive/Socialists in Washington, the academics in education, elitist experts, and the wealthy progressives. 

When, in 2020, when Elizabeth Warren gets elected and the beginnings of an all encompassing, centralized, and bureaucratic, Progressive Government gets it's beginning, the everyday puppet liberals will have to join the blanket culture and meld with the rising poor and the diminishing middle class to form the demise of our way of Western life that the elites so despise, along with the Capitalist economy that makes them retch.                                                    ********************************************************************************                                                                                          

                                        WHAT'S THE OTHER SIDE OF OPPOSITE ?

  The real problem is political correctness. Its real name is, of course, cultural Marxism. All the PC judgments originate with Marxist values. Marxism is the epitome of politics, in that it assigns a political value to everything.

PC originates from the doctrine of "the dialectic", in which everything is defined only in terms of its perceived opposite. If you ask a communist about communism, good or bad, he or she will answer in terms of how it differs from "capitalism", which was Marx's term for our free enterprise economic system. It's the same with PC, where American values are judged in terms of where they differ from social justice values. 

Our values are just fine as they are; only Marxists believe in perfection. The fact that, like all other countries, we once had slavery is part of our history is just that: history, meaning that it was in the past. Because we are a country that was founded upon individual freedom, we are excoriated by not having a perfect history of that freedom, whereas countries that were monarchical are not so criticized, even the Muslim countries which still have slavery are not criticized for that, either......... PC is hypocrisy at its worst.                                                               **********************************************************************************

ANTIFA MOVEMENT ON THE RISE AFTER TRUMP'S REMARKS IN CHARLOTTSVILLE

 Anti-fascist activists, or “antifa,” increasingly mobilized in the wake of President Trump’s election, are unapologetic about what they describe as the necessary use of violence to combat authoritarianism.

While both experts on the movement and activists within it emphasize that not everyone who participates in anti-fascist activism engages in violence, they say the use of force is intrinsic to their political philosophy.

“The justification [of the use of violence] is that Nazi ideology at its very core is founded on violence and on wielding power by any means,” said Mike Isaacson, who is one of the founders of Smash Racism D.C., an antifa organization in Washington.

The program, known as the Duke University Men’s Project, seeks to help men examine how their masculinities exist “often in toxic ways” while beginning “the work of unlearning violence.”

I noticed a post on Facebook where some progressive clown posted that the reason those Antifa thugs wear hoodies and masks is to protect themselves from all that pepper spray ...........Well the following was just posted today. Bullshit is bullshit, especially when it falls out of a progressives mouth.

 For the first time in 20 years, police in the city of Berkeley can use pepper spray on violent demonstrators.

The City Council voted 6-3 Tuesday to allow police to use pepper spray to repel attacks on officers and others during the kind of violent protests that have rocked the city this year.

They still may not use it as an overall crowd-control method.

The university's response (AP):

    Authorities plan to seal off the campus' central hub, Sproul Plaza, with a "closed perimeter" around several buildings including where Shapiro is scheduled to speak to a sold-out, 1,000-person audience. There will be "an increased and highly visible police presence," the university said in a statement.

  WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO ?

   In his January 1964 State of the Union address, President Lyndon Johnson proclaimed, “This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional war on poverty in America.” In the 50 years since that time, U.S. taxpayers have spent over $22 trillion on anti-poverty programs. Adjusted for inflation, this spending (which does not include Social Security or Medicare) is  "three times the cost of all U.S. military wars since the American Revolution."  Yet progress against poverty, as measured by the U.S. Census Bureau, has been minimal, ( Stands at about 13% today, down from about 15% in '64.) and in terms of President Johnson’s main goal of reducing the “causes” rather than the mere “consequences” of poverty, the War on Poverty has failed completely. In fact, a significant portion of the population is now less capable of self-sufficiency than it was when the War on Poverty began.

The last paragraph from a Time.com article goes thusly even after whitewashing the War on Poverty with the increase in non cash benefits such as Medicaid and food stamps which are not included in statistics. The "war" has not made any considerable dent in the poverty rate.

The War on Poverty has clearly not been won. No amount of explaining, interpreting or squinting at the plot of U.S. poverty rates can get us to a declaration of victory. Declarations of defeat are just as misguided, however. The War on Poverty has been fought against a shifting landscape that has made the effort more difficult with each passing decade. Renewed efforts that recognize demographic and labor market realities and the enormous challenges they place on anti-poverty efforts, and measures of that progress, should be the hallmarks of the next phase in this war.

    Giving it a thought

Today's liberal is mainly irrelevant in it's posturing on social justice, income distribution, and mostly inconsequential race issues. It's becoming tiresome.

 Increasingly they are becoming the lower order of propaganda to appease the younger base, millennial's, to stay loyal liberal's as the Progressive elites wend their way to taking the lead in Democratic policy. The millennial infatuation in the last election for the likes of Bernie Sander's Socialism and the recent talking point's of Elizabeth Warren, a Socialist prone Easterner, seem to be a road to winning in 2020 or in the least, important victories in 2018.

 What seems to be more prevalent in today's news is the increasing call by consistent Progressive rhetoric for the banning of speech, written or otherwise, of views that do not coincide with those of the Progressive method. One only has to look at the University atmosphere to realize what censure looks like.

 The expansion of this ultra liberal philosophy leads to the goal of an expanded centralized bureaucratic government that controls and regulates a, hopefully, trained and reeducated society in line with the utopian dream of one identical ideal.

************************************************ SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW IN THE PROGRESSIVE WORLD.  

 WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of people who buy individual health insurance policies and get no financial help from the Affordable Care Act are bracing for another year of double-digit premium increases, and their frustration is boiling over.

The most exposed consumers tend to be middle-class people who don't qualify for the law's income-based subsidies. They include early retirees, skilled tradespeople, musicians, self-employed professionals, business owners, and people such as Sharon Thornton, whose small employer doesn't provide health insurance.

A suggestion that she could qualify for financial assistance by earning less only irritates her more. "My whole beef is that the government is telling me: 'If you work less, we'll give you more,'" said Thornton, who's in her 50s.

************************************************  " “If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.” ― Frank Zappa” ************************************************   THINKING ABOUT THIS

When a centralized authority imposes a top-down ideal of social goodness in an attempt to reshape society into a groovy communitarian paradise, economic authority is replaced with a distant bureaucracy. In a government-run shop (even one as innocuous as the DMV or the post office), customer service is less important than obeying bureaucratic dictates, and the workers who are selling you stuff don’t care whether you come again. Long wait times ensue. Buyers and sellers become surly with one another. Trust and goodwill fizzle. People start to feel helpless.

 The important achievement for those advocating a centralized bureaucratic dictate is the succumbing of the electorate to that helplessness, and in totality, adhere to an elitist consolidation of regulation in societal affairs.

The SPLC, which claims to boast a staff of 75 lawyers who practice in the area of children's rights, economic justice, immigrant justice, LGBT rights, and criminal justice reform, reported spending only $61,000 on legal services in 2015. On March 1, 2015, SPLC sent $2,200,000 to an entity incorporated in Canana Bay, Cayman Islands, according to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) records and run by a firm firm based in Greenwich, Ct. Another $2,200,000 cash transfer was made on the same day to another fund whose business is located at the same address as the previous fund in the Cayman Islands, according to SEC records.

Nancy Pelosi condemns Antifa for first time as radical leftists wear out welcome It took a while, but Democrats may finally have had enough of the Antifa. In a Tuesday statement, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called out by name the Antifa, or “anti-fascists,” for the first time since Sunday’s leftist violence in Berkeley.

 She must have forgotten to take her meds........

“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” the California Democrat said in a statement. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”
