It is currently fashionable to argue that health disparities are evidence of “systemic racism.” This argument and the issue of choke-holds are the rationale for trying to reinstate race preferences in WA. If you don’t genuflect to this claim, the diversity enforcers and the
race advocates will seek to make your life miserable. This is happening to Sue Frost, a Sac County Supervisor who was recently on the short-end of a 4-1 vote about precisely this issue. These are pc bullies, supported by the media. We should give moral support to those who refuse
race advocates try to beat you into submission. We see this occurring in Sacto County, where Supervisor Sue Frost was on the losing end of a 4-1 vote about a resolution which asserted that health disparities were indicative of systemic racism. She is right to push back, as we see
to wilt when faced with attacks.

Our governor, our Legislature, our major university, big businesses, unions, those who teach our kids - all seem to disagree with us, the people. Over time, what do we do? We cave or we fight? I suggest we fight. If we choose that course, how? How can we close the gap between us
and those who act on our behalf, who make the decisions that govern how we live? Perhaps, I am not being sufficiently trusting. Perhaps, all within our "elite" class will see the Prop 16 vote and obey the will of the people. Unfortunately, history does not vindicate that forecast
So, if we conclude that we are engaged in running a marathon, not a sprint, we need to gear up to WIN!

@TheLeoTerrell Leo, I am not surprised at all with this tweet. There is a lesson embedded in it that I will share with the public, because it might help in our fight to defeat Prop 16.
During the 209 campaign, there weren’t many people who “looked like me” and who supported 209. My two most /1
@TheLeoTerrell visible opponents were Leo Terrell and Joe Hicks. Joe was refined and tried to use reason to convince Californians that I was wrong
@TheLeoTerrell while Leo came at me like a raging bull, angry & intent on my destruction. The day following the election, I received a call from Joe, who I had not met before the campaign. He offered congratulations and praise for my conduct. He said, “I was wrong and I want to help you.” /3

Yesterday, I appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to discuss race and Prop 16. The appearance was very well received. Something is going on in our beloved America, and in CA, and as the announced “leader” of this movement, I want to share my off-the-cuff /1
thoughts. First, I welcome the 510 new Twitter followers who responded to what I had to say with very positive comments, some of which may be seen on Twitter. Out of all the comments, only one was negative, and that was from a Black man in Texas who called me a “house Negro.” /2
That was meant to insult and intimidate me. Were I a lesser man, who was insecure about his beliefs, the tactic might be successful, but I thank God for giving me the fiber to withstand such tactics. I am a veteran in the war against bullies. Nothing could be worse than what I /3

In my senior year at CSUS, we were studying various political systems and the principles that undergird those systems. Dr. Thompson emphasized that totalitarian systems, specifically communism, sounded very seductive because they co-opted language that was a far cry from what
the systems actually did. He said that with the right words, totalitarian leaders believed that they could convince the populace that up is really down and equal is really unequal. Nothing is what it might appear in totalitarian regimes. Over the past 24 years, in 10 campaigns,
I have found that nothing is truer than this. In America, with each passing day, we see evidence that progressive philosophy has the disturbing tendency toward expansive government and the abuse of commonly accepted meanings about words. Prop 16 is a classic example. To them,

Last night, I expressed the view that we are locked in a civil war with progressive extremism. Tonight, I apologize for being so soft in my characterization of this matter. It is more than a civil war; it is a fight for the future of America.
Representation v individual rights?
Anarchy v rule of law?
Equity v equality?
Identity politics v focus on the individual?

Am I exaggerating the threat or is a real challenge to our future?
If one were to take a sneak peak at my Twitter feed over the past four months, a remarkable conclusion could be reached, and it is this: Yes, Prop 16 is about fairness & equality in college admissions, public employment & public contracting, but an even more important phenomenon

But, what if a year from now we discover that it was not a “bit much” and the nation that we love has been “transformed,” as Bernie Sanders proposed, and we were too afraid to connect the dots when it could have mattered? What if your life is turned totally upside down because
a handful of progressives had a plan that they wanted to implement? I for one am fearful of what I see throughout the country and I believe Prop 16 is but a piece of it. I am not suggesting a conspiracy, but I am adamantly suggesting that there are too many events to ignore.
You can’t win a fight if you don’t realize that you are in one. I don’t want to “transform America.” I want to improve upon it where problems are identified, but I like the basic framework we inherited. There are those among us, I am now convinced, who want to tear or burn it
