Who Is Running This Mess?
About 45 years ago, a four-term Democrat Congressman from a safe district sat in my shabby office and said he wanted me to know he was not going to run again (he did) because Congress didn't matter any more. We were not close friends. Of course I knew who he was but had never talked with him in person. I was surprised at his candor and attributed most of it to grief over the recent death of his wife.
That evening, he talked at length about the Civil Rights Act of 1964 containing specific language to prevent discrimination based on race. In practice, it actively and openly discriminated against white people in favor of black people (affirmative action), something expressly prohibited by the actual legislation. His complaint was that it didn't matter what elected officials did, the untouchable Civil Service bureaucrats would do whatever they damned well pleased. Think about that for a minute.
