Think anything will come of the
current scandals and controversies involving the president? I should
say anything like justice or prosecution. What I see is apathy of
apathy coinciding with some serious events. There's also the usual
apathy that's different depending on who you are: For some, it's our
guy that's doing it, plus, we don't like the ones that it's happening
to; so let's not make too big a deal out of this For some, it's just
more political stuff, so, so what. For others, they're so accustomed
to losing ground to the political media complex, that they re hoping
that the loss of freedom declines at the usual rate.
What I'm wondering is whether these
things are a stepping stone to more serious offences later. Not a
conspiracy by men, just a precedent. Society is already being
conditioned to regard conservatives as bigots. Now The healthcare
policies force Christian business owners to betray their conscience,
Christian homeschoolers can't have asylum here, and the IRS has
targeted conservative groups. It's a slow motion lead up to Crystal
Nacht. Why would liberals who claim to oppose religion so much give
so much room and protection to Muslims in the west? Probably because
they like any strong movement opposed to Christianity. To understand
what's going on in these times, look behind the political to the
spiritual.

A
sample of online definitions for the term racist. But liberals have
another definition of racist; it is that you can't even begin to
question the behavior of another race, you can't criticize self
destructive behavior, you can't mention empirical evidence of
differences. Do any of those, and hate is the motive. It's a two step
definition.
Let me tell you about the temporary boss I had this week. Being self
employed is like having a series of different bosses through the
year. This guy is African American, REALLY African American. He
sounds like he just stepped off the boat. A really appealing, but
thick accent. I was doing a small window lettering job for him.
Usually, my window lettering is a specialized type of painted
advertisement, but this was best done with computer cut vinyl
lettering. All that to say that when I was packing up the materials
to go to the job site, one small piece of vinyl fell out of the
stack, and never arrived at the job. I got there, he greeted me with
a very cold bottled water, this is a courtesy I seldom get. The job
sold for a pre-agreed $125, and as I neared completion, I noticed the missing
piece. It was part of the logo, not text, and wasn't very noticeable.
I'm waiting for a check from a corporation, and badly needed this
money for gas and incidental expenses. So I asked if I could have
$100 of it, he sternly says:”How about $75 instead?” The guy's
nice, but doesn't hide his authority. He has good English, none of
the “We goan do dis” type of jargon. He's also attentive to
details, as evidenced by his figuring out a solution to a possible
problem on a previous job I did for him. Most office people don't
have a mind for the hands on physical things, but he aced it. I don't
know if he owns the business, or manages it, but he's not hindered by
practices from the hood, by demands of the subculture. Can I
criticize the subculture, and not be a racist? Do I care? I figure
there'll be plenty of evidence to convict me of intolerance crimes
when the time comes. Sounds like Britain, the once admirable place of
free thought.

Speaking of tolerance; let's say that in the future, one needs an
identification of tolerance. Some sort of card, mark on your driver's
license, or mark, maybe a chip implant. So a guy learns a lot about
RFID, or forging official documents. He can fake the identification,
so that he doesn't have to actually show up at an office and swear to
the mindset. But is wearing around the ID in any form a public
proclamation of approval?
