In my opinion, the only thing that progressives could do that would be worse than Prop 16 would be to pass legislation to take away my freedom. To some extent, that is what it does. Here we are, in America, the land of equal opportunity for all, a state with a long tradition of

respect for individual rights, having to defend our right to be treated equally . Call it diversity, affirmative action (AA), whatever you want, it’s still having to defend that fundamental right. Have we become so numb that we can’t see what is at stake? Giving the Far Left

the legal right to discriminate based on race would be tantamount to opening a liquor store for alcoholics. Prop 16 would not be the end of this fight; it would be just the beginning. We cannot be so stupid to believe that anyone who is willing to deprive us of our rights would

exercise restraint if that authority were granted to them. I am not a progressive, but I can think of countless ways to “eliminate racial disparities” that would probably wreck the lives of a lot of innocent people. Driving off a cliff will kill you, whether at 50 mph or at 80.

I have obviously made up my mind about the catastrophic damage that could be visited upon our truly great state if we let this happen. The cliff is up ahead, and we (you, your children, all of us) had damn well better bring this car to a screeching halt, lest we go over it!
