Floundering comedian Stephen Colbert compared Donald Trump to the Ku Klux Klan.
But technically, isn't it the American political left that has more in common with the terrorizing nightriders of yore?
For example, like the Klan, political leftists (not Donald Trump) are
the ones threatening violence and perpetrating acts of such when opinion
is vocalized with which these hoodlums disagree.
Anyone insisting otherwise need only be reminded of the vandalizing
rampages that have erupted in a number of American cities over the
course of the past year or so.
Furthermore, in an age that claims to value tolerance and diversity, how
is it less of an outrage for victims of the Knockout Game to be
rendered unconscious for simply being White in an overwhelming
percentage of these assaults than it was for outrageous acts of violence
to be perpetrated upon innocent victims in an era that might not have
taken such infringements of basic human dignities as seriously as it
should have?
Like the Klan, Colbert and his political allies are the ones demanding
that duly established law be suspended for the purposes of providing a
preferred demographic with an advantage over another.
All that Donald Trump is pretty much calling for is an enforcement of U.S. immigration law as it is already on the books?
What can be more American that equal treatment under the law?
For if Kim Davis can be imprisoned because of the imperative of elected
officials upholding even those laws that they do not believe in, why
isn't a similar punishment imposed upon those as willfully neglecting
this other area of law and public policy?
