Interesting topic. I am surprised at the angle here taken by the writer that it is OK for groups that are federally funded to violate civil rights based on race.
First, from the link provided in the article: "The PhD Project is one of many nonprofits that helps underrepresented groups gain access to higher education."
A couple of points here: 1. Who and how is this Project deciding what individuals are underrepresented? If all people can't use their services based on an objective set of rules, why are we as a nation funding it.
2. In light of the SCOTUS decision involving U of MI and their discrimatory programs, shouldn't all NGO's receiving public money be following the law of the land? 3. Should we, as a society, allow our government to decide which NGO'S get funded, and for what purpose?
On the subjectnos the IRS being used as an instrument to enforce executive viewpoints, isn't that exactly what we let happen under the Obama administration? I recall the IRS being used against the Tea Party's in an effort to silence them.
In the IRS Tea Party situation, one political appointee resigned and the President said that he doesn't tolerate that type of targeting. And yet, as a society, we didn't demand any changes to monitor and make sure that behavior didn't happen again.
I would argue that we set the precident that it is OK to use the letter agencies to enforce political views. Of course, in this case, it is simply an agency enforcing the law of the land as decided by SCOTUS.
NOW I will let my MAGA side out. This is a typical hit piece by the author. He has done many which are only based on "orange man bad". I have written in the past about how many of the actions being taken by this administration have their roots in actions in the past. They are not unique to the current administration and thus are an accepted part of our society.
There are many changes that need to be made. Blaming the current administration because they choose to use those powers in their chosen way will get us nowhere.
Fascinating. You have the exact same thoughts, but not feelings of mine “taking by the writer” we both still share such a an admiration for we both still pay for his “Letter” on this lawless POSPOTUS…
So, allow me to take off my ANTI ANTI ANTI MAGA HAT off (as I like to quip I am doubling down on the former, for not be sufficiently so, and tripling down on the latter, for being the frenemy within). But enough about WHATABOUTISM being a sorry excuse for you to just plain ignore the Anti Truth Neo Nationalist Sociopaths megalomaniacal abuse of white power…and yes, Don King Trump is not just pure Rich white trash, but one generation removed straight outta Manhattan White House racists Steve…Don’t you know that! Speaking of actions of the past that I have written, not to mention Tracinski, like your spiritual advisor should tell you, excusing the current administration because they were accepted in the past as part of our society reminds me why so many actual good Americans loathe the phrase Make America Great Again now, as they very well happily voted for an actual Republican that did not harbor virulent racists attitudes and hire actual racists for his administration…in 1981. Not that you care, Renee Nicole Good amd Alex Pretti still cannot be reached for comment. Their real killer is in the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office. And the monster, I mean mobster sent in brown shirts dressed like they were going into battle in the mean streets of Fallujah, I mean Minneapolis, for the simple reason to troll, I mean patrol streets for people that do not look like the agent Orangeman (very) bad. We the Living in Kakistocracy (or when reading you, to The Village Idiwitt, Idiocracy). Please, for the love of a just God and America, pull your head out of a man’s arse that should be in a cell, or rhymes with. Thanks for taking my rant Steve. You asked for it.
If only the D.S.A., I mean D.N.C. had nominated the best man….or woman, for President of these still United States…and not Selina Meyer, I mean one Kamala Harris who fit the right, I mean leftists profile of race, gender and upper class luxury beliefs
The Village Idiwitt is still hoping and praying for a viral sensation Robert Tracinski making like Roger and Me, or even better, Da Ali G and mugging the Anti Truth Neo Nationalist Sociopath with a copy of his Dick Tator from Day One book until the Agent Orangeman Menace Trump Bible Salesman’s smug face turns death white, when Heat Miser in the flesh soul finally starts to but him…Oh well, at least I can still believe in hell for such monsters and mobsters that meet and plot in the back room of the Bada Bing, I mean Oval Office
