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-

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has submitted his answers to questions from special counsel Robert Mueller
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 20, 2018
Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.
Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.
Mueller's team was 100% partisan.
That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election
They looked high.
They looked low.
They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.
And they found...NOTHING.
Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.
What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?
THERE WEREN'T ANY.
Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
No, but you can\u2019t keep labeling half of the country Nazis just because their beliefs are different than yours. Trump has fucked this whole country up in a matter of a few years. No one can even have a constructive conversation without someone getting triggered

It's fine for people to hold different beliefs. But that doesn't mean all beliefs deserve equal treatment or tolerance and it doesn't mean intolerance of some beliefs makes a person intolerant of every belief which they don't share.
So if I said I don't think Trumpism deserves to be tolerated because it's just a fresh 21st century coat of cheap paint on a failed, dangerous 20th century ideology (fascism) that doesn't mean I'm intolerant of all beliefs with which I disagree. You'd think this would be obvious.
Another important facet. People who support fascist movements tend to give what they think are valid reasons for supporting them. That doesn't mean anyone is obliged to tolerate fascism or accept their proffered excuse.
Just because some of the politicians act that way doesn\u2019t mean the whole party are Nazis. Some Republicans just vote that way because of abortion. You can\u2019t keep calling all of them Nazis and expect them to just start listening to your points.

Say you joined a neighborhood group that sets up community gardens and does roadside beautification projects. All good, right? Say one day you're having a meeting and you notice the President and exec board of this group are saying some bizarre things about certain neighbors.
