BLM Will Fail Because American Politics Thrives on Racism

June 24, 2020 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

National Statuary Hall, House of Representatives. Architect of the Capitol.

If you pull the violence we're seeing from protesters out of the equation, Black Lives Matters' goal of sustainably transforming America away from racism sounds reasonable enough (that just changed and not for the better, as we discuss in a June 26, 2020 update).

American flag waving in the breeze

Why do we need a contentious political party to watch our backs? Just because Democrats want us to isn’t a good enough reason. It’s what President Trump would call a hoax. All we need to do is have faith in America and back public officials who agree. What we have done for nearly 250 years works. It’s something we can put our trust in, yet many of us are led astray.

Government Owes You 5 Things You Will Never Get

Barack Obama's signature on Affordable Care Act

24 Democrats have lots to offer in this pre-election year. Their promises will be piled high on your plate before the real theatrics even get started. The stage is set with twin House and Senate bills calling for universal health care and election-stealing changes for the people to “renew Americans’ faith in our democracy.”1 I don’t know about you, but I never lost that … [Read more...] about Government Owes You 5 Things You Will Never Get
