Short Quiz

Post by johnkarls »

.
1. Is the real thesis of “What’s The Matter With White People” instead “What’s The Matter With The Democratic Party” because it has lost touch with blue-collar workers who are white?

2. Who was Saul Alinsky?

3. When President Obama was a Community Organizer, was he working on the payroll of a Saul Alinsky organization?

4. Did Hillary Clinton write her Senior Honors Thesis for Wellesley College on Saul Alinsky?

5. When Bill Clinton first ran for President, did he famously obtain the agreement of Wellesley College to embargo Hillary’s Senior Honor Thesis so that American voters would not think he was married to a socialist?

6. When we focused on Saul Alinsky’s famous book “Rules For Radicals” when Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were competing for the Democratic Party nomination in 2008, did we learn that Alinsky believed in achieving socialism through the democratic process which resulted in his Cardinal Rule that in order to win elections, socialists must constantly talk about The Middle Class?

7. Is that the reason why we constantly hear so much about The Middle Class?

8. Did a major component, if not the majority, of The Middle Class used to comprise blue-collar factory workers?

9. Have blue-collar factory workers been decimated by America’s policy of exporting American jobs?

10. For our 2/14/2008 meeting when we focused on long-time Washington Post Columnist Dana Milbank’s “Homo-Politicus: The Strange And Scary Tribes That Run Our Government” and long-time Business Week Columnist Robert Kuttner’s “The Squandering Of America: How The Failure Of Our Politics Undermines Our Prosperity” -- was the central theme of both books that nothing gets done in the cesspool known as Washington DC except as the result of bribes (aka “campaign contributions”), though quite often the “campaign contributions” take the form of extortion by, rather than bribery of, the pols?

11. So despite its rhetoric of supporting The Middle Class and blue-collar workers, hasn’t the Democratic Party been guilty of supporting America’s policy of exporting American jobs in return for “campaign contributions”?

12. If anyone thinks for a moment that the Democratic Party would like to rein in the export of American jobs, then why doesn’t it simply renew 1968 Executive Order 11387 as we recommended in our Six-Degrees-Of-Separation E-mail campaign following our 2/12/2014 meeting?

13. In addition to supporting America’s policy of exporting American jobs, isn’t the Democratic Party at war with The Middle Class and blue-collar workers with regard to Illegal Immigration?

14. As we studied for our 1/10/2008 meeting on Illegal Immigration, isn’t Illegal Immigration nothing more than reversing the outcome of the American Civil War?

15. In other words, doesn’t Illegal Immigration comprise the importation of de facto slave labor to take jobs in the U.S. that cannot be exported geographically?

16. And didn’t we conclude that minimum-wage laws do not apply to most Illegal Immigrants for either (or both) of two reasons: (A) Illegal Immigrants are afraid to complain since that would call attention to their immigration status, and (B) perhaps more importantly, many if not most Illegal Immigrants (particularly in the agricultural sector) are provided with food and lodging and the minimum-wage laws are impotent vis-à-vis what employers can charge for the food and lodging?

17. Is America’s immigration system “broken” as our pols love to claim?

18. Is the Comprehensive Immigration Reform ("CIR") bill that passed the U.S. Senate in 2013 and that had been spear-headed by the so-called Gang of Eight (four Democrats and four Republicans) simply a carbon-copy of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?

19. In other words, don’t both the 1986 law and the 2013 bill (A) call for securing the border, (B) call for an e-verify system for employers to ascertain quickly the immigration status of a worker, (C) call for stiff fines and jail sentences for employers who hire Illegal Immigrants, and (D) provide a path to citizenship for Illegal Immigrants already present in the United States?

20. So why didn’t Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama enforce the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986?

21. Does anyone think it might have something to do with “campaign contributions”?

22. And does anyone think that vis-à-vis the two Democratic Presidents on the list, it also has something to do with increasing the number of Democratic-Party voters on the theory that blue-collar workers have nowhere to go?

23. Is the Democratic Party’s War On Blue-Collar Workers the only problem it faces?

24. Who famously called New York City “Hymietown”?

25. Did Chicago’s Rev. Jesse Jackson spew his epithet while running for the Democratic Party nomination for President in a January 1984 interview with an African-American reporter for The Washington Post?

26. Is “Hymie” a derogatory term for Jew and is NYC famously the largest Jewish city in the world?

27. Although African-American Jesse Jackson later issued a de rigeuer apology, wasn’t there quite a bit written about how his comment rang true with African Americans who believe that American wars are fought disproportionately by African Americans and the wars are fought primarily to advance the interests of Jews?

28. Does this rift still persist as Israel feels it has “been thrown under the bus” during the Iran nuclear negotiations just concluded?

29. Incidentally, did two of America’s largest Jewish organizations fail to file Pre-Cert Amicus Curiae Briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court pursuant to its Rule 37(2) in the litigation against 15 of the world’s largest financial institutions for the $84 billion that they owed for conversion (the civil-law counterpart to theft) and that had been long since pledged in legally-binding fashion to rescue 10 million inner-city children “from a fate worse than death” -- to affirm that conversion is not restricted to heirs of Holocaust victims whose fine art was stolen by the Nazis, but even applies to the second-class American citizens living in our inner-city ghettos?

[Hint: Please see the third and fourth sections of http://www.ReadingLiberally-SaltLake.org entitled “Inner-City Holocaust and America’s Apartheid ‘Justice’ System.”]

30. So warping back to our author, Joan Walsh, and her “What Is Wrong With White People” -- does she provide any reason whatsoever why blue-collar workers should “drink the Kool-Aid” of the Democratic Party that it will finally do anything other than talk, to halt the export of American jobs?
