Hear me. Politics is not a morality contest & Democrats often reduce politics to a never ending competition in a self righteous morality Olympics. Their allegiance to morality outweighs their allegiance to the public good. Morality & the public good are NOT the same thing.

WHEN MORALITY BETRAYS
I am no Democrat. I am no Republican. In general, I am not of the perspective that there is any salvation for black people in politics. To the black democrat I say, imagine if Obama fought as hard for you as Trump fights for white supremacists.
Hear me. Politics is not a morality contest & Democrats often reduce politics to a never ending competition in a self righteous morality Olympics. Their allegiance to morality outweighs their allegiance to the public good. Morality & the public good are NOT the same thing.
Morality is different things to different people. The public good is all things to the most people. This is not a play on words, but a mindset required to competently engage in the public square. Those who fail to heed such caution render themselves vulnerable to those-
powerbrokers who morality factors little into their decision making. Herein, lies Barack Obama's fatal flaw. His allegiance to the moral principle of bipartisanship caused him to let Republicans run roughshod over him. He was elected w/a mandate from the American people &
squandered it. I offer the following as evidence: Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Sureshbhai Patel, an elderly Indian man who was walking through his son's subdivision when a white neighbor called the police 2 report a "suspicious black man" casing the community.
White officer Eric Parker answered the call. Immediately on arrival, the officer slammed Patel & paralyzed him. Parker was tried twice w/both ending in mistrials. I should note that the 1st mistrial occurred on a jury that included 10 white males & 2 black women jurors.
The black women voted to convict. The white males voted to acquit. That's democracy. White rule. That's another post. Federal prosecutors intended to try Officer Parker a 3rd time, but the judge stepped in and dismissed the charges with prejudice meaning the white officer-
could not be charged or tried again. What does any of this have to do with Obama, you might ask? The judge who acquitted the officer was U.S. District Judge Madeline Haikala and she was appointed by Barack Hussein Obama. So what's the big deal? In a move of bipartisanship-
Obama sought 2 appease a ton of southern Republican senators who were holding up many of his judicial nominations. Thus 2 get some of his nominees thru confirmation, he started compromising w/these senators 2 appoint some of their chosen judges. Judge Haikala was 1 of them.
Now the classical retort here is: "Well this is why Obama couldn't get much done b/c the Republicans blocked his every move." Wrong. He could have pushed Senate Democrats to end the filibuster as soon as Republicans started blocking his nominees. Ironically, this is-
Ironically, this is the very argument Obama is now supporting. Well, Mr. President, you should have done that while you were in office when many of your die hard supporters were begging you to do this. Nevertheless, a lot of conservative judges-
https://t.co/0nTSFsaq3u
made it thru on Obama's watch b/c of his hyperfidelity to the moral principle of bipartisanship. A second example of this was his appointment of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, which was derailed by Republicans. Many Democrats are still clinging to the ruse that-
Republicans "stole a Supreme Court seat." Nonsense. Obama gave it away. Follow me. What was going on in the Senate when Justice Antonin Scalia died? Nothing. The Senate was in recess. Obama could have took a page out of the President Eisenhower president who appointed-
Justice Brennan during a Senate recess. Again, he failed 2 do so b/c of his hyperfidelity to the moral principle of bipartisanship. A third example is the 2016 presidential election. Trump is spot on when he told Michelle Obama that "I was elected because of your husband."
Trump is right, but for the wrong reasons. Follow me. Many in the Hillary Clinton camp still maintain to this day that she lost the election b/c of FBI Director's James Comey's October surprise revelation of reopening of the investigation into Clinton's emails.
Lets say I buy that argument. Riddle me this: who appointed FBI Director James Comey, a lifelong Republican? You got it. Barack Hussein Obama. And he did so as a bipartisan compromise w/Senate Republicans to get a speedy confirmation.
Here's the charge & I do not make it lightly: Barack Obama's blind hyperallegiance to the morality principle of bipartisanship caused him to appoint the very man who would gift Donald Trump the presidency who in turn would descend the country into chaos.
I would take it further. Obama's morality triggered not only Trump's election but the rise of white supremacy which endangered black life, destabilized the nation & endangered all of western civilization. There is a mad man in the White House w/nuclear launch codes &
he is there b/c Obama's fidelity 2 bipartisanship made him impotent in his fight against white people who regarded him as nothing more than a niggER. Donald Trump is the greatest villain America deserves & you cannot fight him w/o testicular fortitude. Obama had none.
This is how morality can betray U. The public good is always greater than individual morality. In many ways Obama's morality was immoral & Dems are do 4 a course correction. I'll put 1 forth shortly but 1st a final stanza 2 my thesis of public good over individual morality
Close your eyes. Lets bow our head for a word of prayer. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. When the praises go up, the blessings come down. God is good all the time & all the time God is good. As the bible says, "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word -
from the mouth of God." We praying good now. So good we missed that white supremacist who just walked through the church door & pulled out that Glock & gunned all us down in the name of White Jesus. Now we up here in heaven asking God "my father why hast thou forsaken me?"
God replies, "you dumb motherfuckers. Nobody told you or any black folk to close your eyes in the presence of a White Supremacist. Your morality betrayed you. So now you're dead." Brutal, but true. There is no greater example of morality betraying a group of people than-

Funny, before the election I recall lefties muttering the caravan must have been a Trump setup because it made the open borders crowd look so bad. Why would the pro-migrant crowd engineer a crisis that played into Trump's hands? THIS is why. THESE are the "optics" they wanted.
This media manipulation effort was inspired by the success of the "kids in cages" freakout, a 100% Stalinist propaganda drive that required people to forget about Obama putting migrant children in cells. It worked, so now they want pics of Trump "gassing children on the border."
There's a heavy air of Pallywood around the whole thing as well. If the Palestinians can stage huge theatrical performances of victimhood with the willing cooperation of Western media, why shouldn't the migrant caravan organizers expect the same?
It's business as usual for Anarchy, Inc. - the worldwide shredding of national sovereignty to increase the power of transnational organizations and left-wing ideology. Many in the media are true believers. Others just cannot resist the narrative of "change" and "social justice."
The product sold by Anarchy, Inc. is victimhood. It always boils down to the same formula: once the existing order can be painted as oppressors and children as their victims, chaos wins and order loses. Look at the lefties shrieking in unison about "Trump gassing children" today.
Funny there are those who think these migrant caravans were a FANTASTIC idea that's going to take the immigration issue away from you.

Like several weeks watching a rampaging horde storm the fences & throw rocks at our border patrol agents & getting gassed = great optics!

1/ Imagine that as soon as the referendum result the EU announced that it was looking forward to the end of free movement of UK citizens in the EU
2/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those retired Brits in the EU27 could go home
3/ Imagine if the EU said finally all those Brits in the EU could stop driving down wages, taking jobs and stop sending benefits back to the UK
4/ Imagine if the EU said it was looking to use UK citizens as “bargaining chips” to get a better trade deal
5/ Imagine if the EU told UK citizens in the EU27 that they could no longer rely on established legal rights and they would have to apply for a new status which they have to pay for for less rights
Imagine, for a moment, the reaction of the UK Government, Brexiters, and the RW UK press if Juncker, Tusk, Macron or Merkel went on TV to say that Brexit was worth it to stop Freedom of Movement for UK citizens, and to stop Brits being able to come to the EU and jump the queue.

I told you they’d bring this up
I was wondering why that tweet had so many stupid replies. And now I see
Seriously, this was “the night before.” If you’re at the march where they’re changing “Jews will not replace us” and “Blood and soil,” you’re not a “very fine person.” Full stop.
There are 3 important moments in that transcript.
1.) When someone asked Trump about a statement *he had already made* about there being blame on “both sides,” he said the “fine people” line.
2. Trump does clarify! “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and white nationalists — because they should be condemned totally “
Okay!
Then adds that there were “many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists.”
Right-wing media have essentially convinced themselves that Trump never said "very fine people." They're lying. https://t.co/5960NPMYLJ

Trump defense talking about how the then-president was praising the peaceful protests at Charlottesville that occurred "the night before" the violence on Saturday. That was the night where the torch-bearing crowd chanted "Jews will not replace us." pic.twitter.com/HCKS6Q9LBY
