Trump Is Right: The Shame of Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell
American Spectator ^ | 06/07/16 | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 06/07/2016 10:31:12 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper

The race-driven San Diego La Raza Association is exactly what’s wrong with the legal system.

The GOP Establishment is in full flight.

No Abraham Lincolns here.

In a shameful haste to embrace identity politics, the latter the political descendant of slavery and segregation, Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have stunningly given thumbs up to a judge who has made no bones about injecting his ethnic heritage into his role as a lawyer and judge.

In a broadside against Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who presiding over the case against Trump University (a case in itself riddled with bad judicial decision-making as the judge has assigned the case to a notoriously Clinton-supporting law firm — more of which later this week), Trump has assailed the Indiana-born judge as “of Mexican heritage” who has “an inherent conflict of interest.”

Google searches on La Raza have spiked and if you type in “Trump Judge” the first suggestion is “Trump Judge La Raza”. Public interest is rising.

Ryan is attempting to divert attention from TRUMP to the House agenda, flexing his muscles as a leader himself, probably praying for the nomination at Convention, and generally shoving the UniParty socialism onto the people of the United States.

After this election, regardless of outcomes, Americans are awake, fully informed of epidemic corruption of Washington, DC, and our institutions— particularly our state sponsored schools, who have finally achieved ground zero for propagandizing our kids to accept government control over their lives, their work and their income.

Speaker Paul Ryan hungers to be accepted by what he perceives as 'elites' of the old style variety... It's a fool's errand - there aren't any true elites left in DC - - just posers.

Light shining on these political cockroaches is letting all know that we have a criminal government infested with criminal “workers” who despise those not “working” in the government. May the light shine brightly.

In my district we recognized that our weasel was about to betray us and pass Rubio’s amnesty and we Cantorized him.
I expected many more districts to follow suit and have been dissapointed that the GOP voters continue to elect Cheap Labor Express stooges.
If Ryan is Cantorized, as he should be for betraying the citizens, I will believe they have woken up.

Usurpation Day

All of our judicial and elected stood around and watched an usurper take the oath of office when they knew he was not eligible because he had been born a British subject, he had it on his own website.

Trump is more right than wrong—always has been. The left leaning La Raza group needs to be taken out and dumped into the racist trash can for what it is. It was a product of the 1960s radicalism. Race is their focus. Good news, most Latinos do not support this group and see it for what it is.

In a Google search after Trump first said this, I found a couple of references where this judge identified himself as “Mexican” rather than even just Mexican-American. I wish I had saved those, but if I get a chance later today I will try to find them again.

It’s hard to believe that Ryan is as bad as Boehner, maybe worse.

Sorry, but I don’t think they will ever wake up. Trump is a small exception who said things some of the uninformed liked to hear.

You succinctly said it all! Light on cockroaches is fully illuminating.

We need to “organize” now, in advance of the coming House and Senate contests, even in advance of 2020! Our enemies in government are certainly organizing, against us, and have years of plots and plans laid out.

They just never before came up against an anomaly like TRUMP.

Why can’t patriots organize even internationally, and have our own formulation of the Bilderbergs but against the Bilderbergs and against the so called international
“foundations” that are nudging us into Marxism and communism?

Unions are doing it. We conservatives do NOTHING but waddle to voting booths and think that is enough.

Why are we not more proactive? Because most of us are still naive enough to believe that the law is actually guiding our culture. Because we go to work on a daily basis instead of sitting on our rumps feeding off our government “entitlement” checks. Because we actually raise our children instead of letting them run the streets in wild packs. Because our time is spent in church and civic groups instead of race or nationality based complaint clubs. Because we are the workers, builders, and preservers -— all of which takes most of our time, money, and talents. This leaves little left for the kind of full immersion politics it is going to take to turn this all around. None of these are excuses, but the time has come when they can’t even be reasons. If we don’t step up now, we must know and accept that our children and grandchildren will not be living in America.

Now is the time for all good AMERICANS to come to the aid of their Country!!!

I’m surprised Google allows Trump and judge and La Raza to be combined in their suggestions.

Actually, we went Galt, refuse to support this fascist government, and are waiting for CWII.

And it’s not just us.

I thought of that too, but then I can imagine that Trump has so much dirt on the scum that works in DC that he’ll get quite a bit done. They all want their cushy jobs way too much.
