BEAUTIFUL!
This is precisely what I wanted to see. The RATS cannot effectively use this issue in politics since it will definitely galvanize, not only their Rightist opponents, but it is distasteful to most of the RAT voters as well.
I was certain that the reparation issue would stay in the litigation realm, as opposed to the legislative. But if the Left insists on putting this issue before voters, there will be no doubt that they are going to have their heads handed to them on a platinum platter.
I believe that this will not work, even on Californication's voters. And it will send a message to the rest of the nation that the reparations issue is dead, even when it's argued in court.
But let me be totally honest here. I most certainly have a fear factor that plagues me when I think about this. IF by some strange alignment of the planets and stars Davis is successful in using this issue, I will be forced to spend my last thin dime on cartridges and slugs.
I don't want reparations. This nonsense is disrespectful to my ancestors who were slaves. You cannot put a monetary value on someone's lack of freedom. The only way to pay honor to those who were held in bondage is to ensure FREEDOM for their descendants. And this is not a case of victimologist thinking. Freedom is far too precious to be bought off by filthy lucre. Instead, if my greatX4 grandfather, whatever his name was, is looking on me, I'd take more pleasure thinking that he's looking at me and saying, "Way to go, son."
Also, I'm not talking about the fear of whites only in this issue. Oh, no! This, if successful, will effect everyone, especially those who know for a fact that their ancestors never held a slave, or, those whose ancestors came here after slavery was abolished. My conservatism won't matter one bit then. Only the color of my skin will be the sin.
So, I'm glad that a white RAT finally stepped up on this issue. But now it's the calm before the storm.
We all will be forced into revolution.
This is well worth repeating.
