Editorial: The Supreme Court, Confederate Flag, and Donald Trump

Editorial

In one of the worst weeks in conservative history in the U.S., the Supreme Court unconstitutionally upheld Obamacare exchanges and expanded marriage to same sex couples, both of these in opposition to the TENTH amendment. No Bill of rights - No Constitution. The Tenth amendment was one of the reasons the Constitution was ratified!

The Confederate flag was given to the world by Southern Democrats at the time of the Civil War which was fought, ironically again, for states' rights. In this case the right to seceed, which was not prohibited by the Constitution. (Show me where if it is!). Both Kentucky and Maryland were NORTHERN slave states, so the Civil War was not about slavery. These two states were never under the Confederate flag. Although the outcome of the Civil war did allow the union to be preserved and develop the U.S. into the world superpower!

Finally, the candidacy of Donald Trump has encourage Mexico and their sympathizers to meddle in U.S. politics. After seven years of no immigration enforcement, this candidate has at least SAID that he would do some enforcement. Although that could remain to be seen. Nevertheless, the fact that any enforcement AT ALL is being discussed, means that he, and his positions, are accused of racism. The U.S. is the only country accused of this when immigration is enforced. Well, some European countries, as well as Israel, get this charge also.
