DEI - The Big Lie, And How It Will Hurt You

    I have to start this post with an admission:  I kept seeing DEI everywhere, but I didn't have a clue what it meant.  Yes, I had to "Google" it.  When the next page loaded, I saw the inherent danger to my country, immediately.

    Now, I've already told you that I put my country's interests ahead of my personal interests, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that I'm concerned with what this very skewed philosophy means to this land.  In the past, I've let it be known in other venues that I am not concerned about the emotions of others anywhere near as much as I care about their intellect and intelligence.  I'll explain in a separate post why your intellect and intelligence is vastly, VASTLY, VASTLY more important than your emotions.  However, I can pretty nearly guarantee that you won't like it, and you probably won't accept it.

    Back to the matter of DEI, though.  I think it's important to break down the philosophy of DEI into its various components:

    1.  Diversity - This component opposes unity in that it places overall importance on groups, rather than on the whole.  In other words, it divides.  Look at all the division in our country; and DEI proponents advocate to increase those divisions, which will cause even more problems in our country.  What's bad is that many of them are unaware that their efforts are harmful.  But worse is that others know the harm they're causing, and it's their intention to cause very much more.  While diversity may, in fact, have its pluses, in the context of national unity it comes up short.  No country can survive split into many cultures and communities.  America's motto is E Pluribus Unum:  Out Of Many, One.  In other words, we take this beautiful variety of cultures and communities and we blend them into one.  But, if we put the focus and effort on diversity, we tear apart the one culture, the one community that is America.  So, if we are going to celebrate the various communities (Black, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Irish, LGBTQ+ etc...), let us do so in minor fashion; but put the main focus and effort on the unity that makes America the greatest country on earth.

    2.  Equity - When I hear talk of "equity", my blood boils.  Equity has various meanings, and while "they" would like us to think that in this context it's supposed to mean, "the quality or practice of accounting for the differences in each individual's starting point when pursuing a goal or achievement, and working to remove barriers..."  I have come to understand the underhanded way that "they" think, and the true meaning in this context is more like:  a. "The monetary value of a property beyond any amounts owed on it in mortgages, claims, liens, etc..., or b. "Informal ownership".  What I mean to tell you is that "they" want to ease you into the mindset of having equity, in order to eventually convince you that you are property... their property.  While you may think that sounds a little far-fetched, back in the 90's, the U.N. declared that children were the property of the United Nations and that mistreatment of them could result in international criminal charges.  I agree that children should not be mistreated, but I disagree that they are 1. property, and 2. that they belong to the United Nations.  While there are some nice ideals involved in the concept of equity, what they really amount to is nonsense.  For instance, let's use an analogy that hits real close to home for me.  Let's say there's a footrace and one of the contestants is physically handicapped with a deformity involving one of the runner's legs.  Practicing equity, the handicapped runner would be started further along the course for fairness' sake, assuming the handicapped runner could not compete equally to the other runners.  Personally, I'm appalled by this practice.  The reason why this story hits close to home for me, and the reason why I am appalled by the practice is because I am handicapped with a deformed right leg.  Back in the 60's and 70's, you didn't get to sit-out P,E, class because of a handicap, and they didn't automatically make special concessions for the physically impaired and I'm glad they didn't.  The fact that they didn't made me have to try harder, which, in turn, made me a better competitor in track related P.E. activities.  It turned out that there was only one boy that I was never able to beat in any foot race.  The practice of "fairness" would have been obviously unfair to the other runners, but it would have also been unfair to me in that it would not have allowed me to be tested and, therefore, push myself to the point of being able to beat a dozen and a half other boys (none of which had physical disabilities).  The practice of equity may be with the intention of fairness, but it is actually unfair, overall.

    3.  Inclusion - It seems like a nice ideal that no one should ever be excluded, but exclusion is a natural necessity.  I know it's harsh to look at it that way, but that's the correct way to look at it.  Naturally, weak societies eventually become strong when the process of natural selection culls out the weaker of that society.  American society has become a weaker society than it should be due to pathetic policies that make allowances for anyone to come into this country by generally unacceptable means.  Now, our community could side with those who push these asinine policies forward, or we could stop being so damned sensitive and actually think about this.  There are many countries around the world where we would be put in prison, or killed for our sexualities and identities.  As America grows weaker, these other countries grow stronger and bolder.  Ask yourself this:  If America is eventually overrun by one of these other countries, what will happen to the LGBTQ+ community?  Answer:  We're as good as dead.

    Now, I started this blog to advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, but I would be remiss if I didn't warn you all what I see on the horizon.  You may wonder what makes me think I know anything about this.  I've been paying very close attention to what's been happening in our country, and what each event has subsequently led to, for over 15 years.  Although all of this makes me sound like a conspiracy theorist, keep in mind, quite often theories turn out to have been predictions of  turmoil.  This fall, we could vote for the candidate who wants to initiate the same policies that the former Soviet Union had; the exact policies that brought about soup lines and food shortages in Venezuela.  Or we could vote for the candidate who despises us, and fight his hateful policies in court.  I want the LGBTQ+ community to flourish, but that won't happen unless America remains free, independent and sovereign.
