CONSORTIUM: Will drive wedge in Cd’A

Oh boy, looks like Coeur d’Alene’s Human Rights Council wants us to embrace a truly leftist group or Consortium as they are calling themselves. Human Rights Consortium? Give me a break. An elite group of impotent Leftist snobs with terminal cases of smug are by God (a word they despise) going to set us all straight on how to behave in their world.

This racist and bigoted consortium (YES, you read that right, racist and bigoted) will only see people by color or specialty labels and demand these groups be treated as only they can determine. After all, isn’t it the definition of racism and bigotry to look at people only by color and labels. I’m sure the consortium will throw in a few tokens of the people they claim to represent. Persons who will label themselves and make demand for respect and inclusion. I hope they remember respect is earned. Demands lead to resentment.

Unfortunately this feel-good, I care, I’m up for the struggle, whatever consortium will only drive a wedge into Coeur d’Alene. They will use their collective voice to demand we accept their determinations. If that’s not Socialism, I don’t know what is. Equality never occurs as long as any group demands or recommends you go lock step with them. People who shout the loudest that they are not, are normally the most racist and bigoted, for they can only see in colors and labels. Somewhere along my way, I don’t know the exact quote (but that’s not really necessary) is: Judge a man by what’s in his heart and not by the color of his skin.

Unfortunately, consortiums like this one will only promote division. The road to hell is paved with good intentions
