Tuesday: Another Narrative, Closer to the Truth

 

All of the reliable propagandist arms of the Big Government machine — major media and their allies in the Democratic Party — will tell you that the dramatic Republican win in Virginia was a victory for White Nationalism and other fictitious bugbears of the radical left.

In fact, what Virginia was was a victory for Martin Luther King, Jr., and for everyone who believes that skin color is less important than character. A man who defended the antithesis of that message, who supported state schools teaching kids that skin color is essential to who they are and how guilty or oppressed they should feel, was defeated by people who are, first and foremost, Americans.


My own personal list of descriptive terms includes, in this order, Father, and then American. Nothing follows that. I have no interest in anything else that anyone puts after American. Before that label, I’ll accept Christian and Mother/Father as significant; everything else is dross.

    I can see son and husband. Philosopher, meh. But I’ll concede the other two.

    Loudoun County, which blew up in Terry McCauliffe’s face, is the richest county in America.

    Amazing how a country supposedly as racist as the US elects blacks to offices at all levels, including President of the United States twice . . .
