Is Mentioning America’s “Anglo-American Heritage” Racist?

February 14, 2018 by Wolf Howling 21 Comments

Jeff Sessions wasn’t racist for using the term “Anglo-American heritage,” but the outrageous outrage over it is progressive politics at its most disgusting.

Anglo-American legal systemI am sure you have heard about this.  A few days ago, CNN breathlessly highlighted in a report that Attorney General Jeff Sessions, in a speech to the National Sheriff’s Association, said

Since our founding, the independently elected sheriff has been the people’s protector, who keeps law enforcement close to and accountable to people through the elected process. The office of sheriff is a critical part of the Anglo-American heritage of law enforcement.

Our neo-Marxist proggies went nuts.  Sen. Brian Schatz of Hawaii wrote:  “Do you know anyone who says “Anglo-American heritage” in a sentence? What could possibly be the purpose of saying that other than to pit Americans against each other? . . .”  Others followed suit, the most obscene being California’s current Lt. Gov. and likely its next governor, Gavin Newsom.  He wrote:  “Reminder that our Attorney General is an outright racist who wants us all to acknowledge our ‘Anglo-American’ heritage.”

Referring to our “Anglo-American” heritage in respect to government and the law is not merely common, it is the norm.  It is one of the fundamental truths of our nation.  And while truth may sometimes be uncomfortable, it can never racist.

As Powerline points out, there are multiple examples of Con Law Professor turned President Obama referring to our “Anglo-American legal system.”  And, as Powerline also points out, Lawrence Tribe, a well-known progressive attorney, in an act of supreme hypocrisy, tweeted his agreement with Sen. Schatz.  Yet only a few years ago, Tribe, writing in the Washington Post used the same “Anglo-American” description to make the argument that British law of the 1600’s acted to limit the power of our President today.  What a disingenuous putz.

What Schatz, Newsom, and Tribe are doing is all part and parcel of the progressive neo-Marxist’s project to fundamentally alter our nation without going through the democratic processes specified in Article V of the Constitution.  Here is how it works:  One, paint the Constitution as a racist, and thus make it a fundamentally illegitimate document undeserving of protection.  Two, disconnect the Constitution from its historical roots — roots which are anything but racist.  Three, because those roots are Anglo-Saxon, play the race card to delegitimize anyone (not a neo-Marxist proggie) who would refer to them.

The Progressive / Socialist Left Throws Down The Gauntlet

November 19, 2016 by Wolf Howling 15 Comments

gandalf-gauntletThe good news — Ms. BWR should be back to her normal posting by tomorrow.  The bad news — I still have one post left to put up today before resuming my seat.  Thus without further adieu . . .

The progressive movement is totalitarian.  It took a huge hit in November right on the eve of permanent victory.  Obama, by his unconstitutional Executive actions and his weaponization of the regulatory bureaucracies — and supported between John Roberts and the activist progressive wing of the Supreme Court — had taken this nation past the brink of a Constitutional crisis.  All that remained was for Hillary to push it to the point of no return.  And going forward, if Trump fails, the progs well know that they will still have that opportunity.

As an originalist law professor opined today, “I can’t help but wonder whether the many millions who voted for President-elect Trump also understood what the legal academy had all but forgotten, that what was at stake in the past election was nothing less than the rule of law and self-government itself.”  He’s dead on point.

Had Hildabeast been elected, all of Obama’s acts would have been validated.  Progressives would have attained dominance in America that would outlast our lifetimes, given the changes they would have de facto made to our laws and what little remains of our Constitutional system of checks and balances.  Congress would have been an afterthought, with progressives ruling through the bureaucracy, by Executive Orders and through the Courts.  Ever more taxpayer money would have been funneled to cronies, laundered through Democrat organizations such as public sector unions and Planned Parenthood, and sent to the EU for “global warming,” the biggest socialist gambit / theft ever conceived.  The Supreme Court, once in solid control of the progressive left for decades to come, would have reliably rendered political decisions to advance progressive goals.  Conservatives and the religious would have been fully pushed out of the public square, their voices effectively silenced.  So to say that we dodged a bullet a little over a week ago is the mother of all understatements.
