On the series of tubes known as the internet, much chatter is being created in response to this New York Times op-ed by Kmele Foster, David French, Jason Stanley and Thomas Chatterton Williams. In large part, the chatter from the right comes from those who do not like David French and amounts to, “A ha! I knew he wasn’t one of us.” Full disclosure: David French is a friend of mine. I took him to dinner two weeks ago in Texas and hope to get him down to my house soon for bourbon and cigar night. I thought it was ridiculous yesterday to see a critic of David’s denounce him as not a Christian and quite possibly possessed by the devil. Good grief.
Erick, my youngest daughter is visiting from Southern California and she just had to listen to you and I was very proud! I am off for some time while she is here. I never get to listen now that you are 12-3. She did notice that WSB seems to be on the side of criminals. I Never watch the tv news but she felt compelled because she had to see Justin Farmer. The piece on the state Trooper pushing the car that was pushing his patrol car was, well, unspeakable and Choi presented it in manner that was baiting. Unbelievable. Forget critical race theory. When someone can push a state patrol car, all bets are off. What would happen to me if I did something like that? Unspeakable. I would never dream of something like that. They are possessed of incredible evil. Revelation.
Erick, thanks for this continued effort to expose the lies. Slavery is not mentioned in the Constitution AND our founding fathers KNEW slavery couldn't stand in this country. They were fully aware of contradiction in values between slavery and the Constitution. They really were bright men. We need to focus more on telling the story that the United States of America is the FIRST COUNTRY TO ABOLISH SLAVERY. Keep the faith.
In the op-ed, the authors write, “Texas House Bill 3979 goes further, forbidding teaching that ‘slavery and racism are anything other than deviations from, betrayals of, or failures to live up to, the authentic founding principles of the United States.’ “ In other words, the Texas legislature is requiring public education to teach a lie. In a Constitution that declared “negroes” to be 3/5 a person, it cannot be said that racism is a deviation, betrayal or failure to live up to its principles. Racism was an explicit principle of the founding. And, slavery was an accepted practice. Those are simple facts.

I have to agree with French. There are federal laws that this gross stuff violates. Sue them. After some losses the fad will go away.
