Democrats’ Demands For ‘Equity’ Are Really A Demand To Amp Up Government Discrimination



'Equity' is the buzzword of the new constitution trying to strangle the old one. It holds that government must treat Americans differently according to identity politics categories.

Keep your eye on the word “equity,” for it is going to be an important part of your life in the next four years. Not interested? That doesn’t matter; equity has an interest in you.

Still not concerned? If you are affected by the taxes, laws, and regulations passed and implemented by the legislative and executive branches of government, or by the court decisions handed down by the judicial one, then you will be affected.

Or if you are affected by the everyday interpretations of any laws and regulations made by the unelected and un-enumerated branch of government, the permanent bureaucracy (where most power now resides), then you will be affected by “equity.”

If you read the news or are written about by a pompous fourth estate that now sees itself as the stenographers of Big Government and technocratic administration, then you will be affected by ubiquitous “equity.” So, yes, all 330 million Americans are likely to see “equity” enter their lives.

Even if I have your attention now, you may be tempted to say, OK, fine, but isn’t equity just the same as equality, just more modern-sounding? No. Do not confuse the two. They are not even cousins; they are opposites, or better yet, sworn enemies.

Equality is the standard of our old Constitution, the one framed in 1787 and amended since then, most memorably in the Bill of Rights and the Reconstruction Amendments. It holds that government should see all people as having been created equal, and equally deserving of the law’s protection.


It is a standard we have not always upheld, but when we have officially deviated from it—as in with slavery or legal segregation—we have paid an awful price. Indeed, at those moments we fixed these great injustices, it was because men like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King came along and demanded enforcement of equality.

Equity is the buzzword of the new constitution trying to take the place of the old one. It holds that government must treat Americans differently according to what category the government has put us in. So equity literally holds that government must treat people un-equally.

Don’t believe me? You don’t want to trust a conservative like me to define a concept of the woke left? Completely understandable. So let’s instead listen to how Vice President Kamala Harris has described the difference between the two, as she did in a tweet on Nov. 1:

“This Is About White Supremacy And Colonization”: Teacher Group Calls For Shakespeare To Be Removed From Reading Lists

While the House managers were quoting Shakespeare in their case against President Donald Trump last week, it appears that the Bard may soon be less known than “Poor Yorick” who we once knew so well. There is a growing campaign by teachers to drop Shakespeare and other Western literature from classes. One group, #DisruptTexts, insists “This is about White supremacy and colonization.” Lorena German, National Council of Teachers of English Anti-Racism Committee chair and a co-founder of the Disrupt Texts forum, insisted “everything about the fact that he was a man of his time is problematic about his plays. We cannot teach Shakespeare responsibly and not disrupt the ways people are characterized and developed.”

We previously discussed how the portrait of William Shakespeare was removed at the University of Pennsylvania’s English Department as a statement for greater racial sensitivity and diversity. Students are increasingly being deprived of such foundational classics as “Romeo and Juliet,” “Macbeth,” “King Lear” or Richard III. These are works that are not only masterpieces but shaped generations of later works and continue to be referenced in modern writing. Yet, this is a movement that has been building since 1987 when Jesse Jackson led Stanford undergraduates chanting, “Hey, ho, Western Civ has got to go!”

Amanda McGregor, a Minnesota-based librarian wrote in the January issue of School library journal that “Shakespeare’s work is full of problematic and outdated ideas, lots of misogyny, racism, homophobia, class discrimination, anti-Semitism, misogyny”

German insisted that Shakespeare “is not ‘universal’ in a way that other authors are not. He is not more ‘timeless’ than anyone else.” Some teachers advocating replacing Shakespeare with such works as “Hunger Games.”

Shakespeare could have seen his coming when he wrote in As You Like It that “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.” However, the exiting of Shakespeare will come at a terrible cost for...

MORE EVIDENCE: 6% Discrepancy Between Voting Machines v. Hand Recounts for 4 GOP Candidates















No… this isn’t conspiracy theory or rumor.

This is now verified fact.

In Windham, New Hampshire, 4 GOP candidates have officially been declared winners.

But if it weren’t for the hand-recount and audit, then we would have never found out the truth.


For each of the 4 candidates from Windham, New Hampshire, the hand-recounts delivered 6% *more* votes to the GOP candidates.

This appears to suggest that the voting machines SHORTED each of the candidates by 6 percent.

To make matters even worse, it turns out that 85% of the state uses the same machines.

This has been confirmed by the state’s attorney general.

According to local WMUR 9 News:

A ballot discrepancy is being reviewed in the town of Windham after a hand recount that was conducted following the November election showed a significant change in the numbers.

After a tight race for state representative in Windham’s general election, the hand recount was conducted by the Secretary of State’s Office.

“I was short by 24 votes, which was a tough loss,” said Democratic candidate Kristi St. Laurent. “I’ve run a number of times.”

The recount found approximately 300 additional votes for each of the winning candidates, while St. Laurent, who requested the recount, lost 99 votes.

“Because the discrepancy was so great — it’s around a 6% discrepancy in vote totals — they asked the Attorney General’s Office to investigate,” St. Laurent said.

According to the town, attorneys have requested information about the ballot machines and how the elections are handled. In a letter to the town, officials with the Attorney General’s Office said they will work with local election officials to implement or refine their protocols and procedures.

In the meantime, St. Laurent is pushing to have the ballots looked at again. But the Attorney General’s Office said the law prohibits more than one recount.

“I think we should be able to count them,” she said. “Now they’re just evidence. They are a paper trail for us to go back and figure out where the mistake happened and just make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

The voting-counting machine company will be at a selectmen meeting on Feb. 22.

“They have indicated that they are willing to do whatever because they want to have their name cleared,” St. Laurent said.

Windham Town Clerk Nicole Bottai released a statement that said, in part: “The town takes this alleged discrepancy extremely seriously, and we are cooperating to the full extent… Our main priority is to get to the bottom of this important matter.”

Mistakes happen.

We get it.

But what’s odd is that these mistakes only ever seem to impact Republican candidates, not Democrats.

What are the odds?

The New Hampshire Attorney General is currently conducting the investigation as to what happen.

To be clear, the AG has not accused the voting machines of purposefully removing votes.

However, nothing has been ruled out.

And the optics are certainly not looking good.

According to Patch, investigators are looking into voting devices right...
