Trump is a
racist and every leftist is not, yeah right!

The Trump University case has brought up again
charges of racism against Trump. The #NeverTrump
Republicans have joined the crusade. These are
mostly failed Republican presidential hopefuls.
Rather than worry more about the political
correctness machine that constantly damns them,
these Republicans worry about the purported
inelegance of Trumps outbursts.
“Donald
Trump has stirred racism charges by calling out the
Hispanic heritage” of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo
Curiel who will decide on the class action suit
against Trump University, reports the Washington
Examiner.
Will Judge Curiel decision be
just? Does the case have merit or Trump has reason
to suspect that his campaign message against illegal
Hispanics has made him a target?
Consider the
trend and actors in the case so far.
Of all
the judges to pick for the case against Trump, must
it be Judge Cureil? A Clinton appointee, a
Democrat, who “for years been associated with the La
Raza Lawyers Association of San Diego, which
supports pro-illegal immigrant organizations,”
according to known information sources.
There
are other links of association that suggests Judge
Cureil Hispanic activism. No surprise for the
ordinary guy in the street. After all, this is the
age of diversity. But curiously, why is it
so decidedly necessary for a US citizen judge to
have this many active ethnic associations? Will a
suspicion of bias in his court matter, in a case
against another ethnic?
With haste on a
Friday, the judge caused the public release of
“nearly 400 pages of Trump University “playbooks”
that described sales techniques and investment
strategies taught at the Trump University ...
against the objections of legal counsel representing
Trump.”
On the following Tuesday, when the
documents were already public, Judge Curiel “tried
to roll back his earlier decision, saying he
mistakenly listed some records to be released ...”
reported WND.
Of course, Judge Cureil can't
“roll” back the released information, nor the damage
the release might cause Trump. But, was the
release an act of a mistake or intentional - all
part of the ethnic "impartiality."?
Be
mindful, courts are careful about suspicions of bias
or conflict of interest. I was kicked off a jury
trial because I declared that my daughter was an
attorney who at the time worked for the Federal
government.
The ethnic concern against Trump
because of his immigration policy stance must also
worry the fair minded in this case against his
university.
Another interesting angle to
this case. WND again reports that prior
records confirm a suspicion of activism on the part
of the law firm that brought the case to Judge
Cureil court: This “law firm ...paid Bill
and Hillary Clinton a total of $675,000 for
speeches.” Read more at

The coincidence of an activist judge and an
activist law firm begs the question whether this
firm went shopping for a sympathetic judge to do
maximum damage to Trump.
The sheer notion
must tug significantly on the mind, even if the idea
of judge shopping is untrue, t
What cannot
be denied, however, is the impact of this judge on
this case; of a Hispanic activist judge whose court
this Clinton friendly law firm has comfortably
placed the case. The perception of bias is
out there, even if Trump wouldn't mention it.
Then, there is the case of a political season
which is polluted with indoctrination. Judge Cureil
may be an upright legal scholar. But it would be
naive to assume that the court system in the US has
no ideological prejudices.
Case in point,
Clarence Thomas' aspiration for a seat at the
Supreme Court. And the interest of those behind
Anita Hill of “pubic hair on coke bottle”
declaration to end it.
Judge Thomas had an
ideological bias. So did those who opposed him.
Therefore, to pretend that some judges don't push
ideology, but only the law, is to do damage to
reason.
Trump has said he will nominate
conservatives judges to the bench. He would also
built a wall against illegal Hispanic immigrants.
It stands to reason that there would be opposition
to him. He would be fought by those who
don't want conservative judges as well as those who
don't want to "build a wall" against illegal
Hispanic immigration.
Could this class action
case be an attempt to silence Trump through the
guise of the court, not the law?
So when
Trump fights back in his blunt way and is met with
cries of racism, we should not be blind to the
probability of intention. A reason of heritage
issue and accusation of bias should have prompted
Judge Cureil to recuse himself. He should have seen
this conflict coming.
And many have already
hinted out the heritage bias.
Ann Coulter for
instance writes, “Curiel has distributed
scholarships to illegal aliens. He belongs to an
organization (La Raza) that sends lawyers to the
border to ensure that no illegal aliens' "human
rights" are violated. ......"
Alas, Ann
Coulter is a conservative writer. But listen to the
anti-Trump Republican politicians, Romney, Ryan,
Gingrich and the like and you would hear the
perfidy. They are proper and quick to infer also
that Trump is a racist because of his opposition to
Judge Cureil.
These Republicans seem to have
forgotten the common truth about ideological
warfare; That Democrats and liberals would use every
tactic to smear Republicans – charges of racism,
gender, wealth inequalities and sexual style
preferences - all the negatives.
Romney went
down in 2012, in part because of gender issues: He
kept “a binder” on women!
He was too
wealthy. He owned Bain Capital, even though he is
worth far less than Trump now.
Trump has yet
to banish Muslim from the US and he has been
attacked as intolerant.
Truth is it is rather
the Muslim leadership in theocratic states that are
intolerant. A non Muslim cannot be a citizen in
Saudi Arabia. And for centuries, public worship of
non-Muslim religion is not allowed there.
The
double standard does not end here. It flows into the
Trump versus Hillary Clinton case.
Trump
sells his brand of university to erstwhile students
who did not get rich as they thought they could
prior to taking the courses. But learning and
results are never hitched intravenously because
education is not blood transfusion.
Besides, these adult students were given the
opportunity of a three day audit of the courses;
money back guaranteed.
But fair enough. Go
ahead and call the Trump University
experience“fraudulent.” However, be honest to note
that Trump was selling his own brand, not the office
of the Secretary of State of the United States like
Hillary Clinton.
Hillary email server scandal
suggests that some activities at the Secretary's
office went to benefit the Clinton Foundation. And
that some of her assistants double-dipped as
employees at State and her Foundation.
This
is a blatant misuse of a very high public office. A
fraudulent, morally and ethically offensive display
of power and arrogance than the abuse of the private
brand that Trump is charged with in the university
case. Mailonline publication reports that
the "FBI is investigating Hillary Clinton’s email
server as a "criminal" matter."
Realize that
offenders of abuses, like the email case have
quickly gone to jail or promptly been driven out of
office. David Patraeus, a much, much
decorated general, "pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor
charge of mishandling classified materials. He was
given a two-year probationary period and a fine of
$100,000." "on April 23, 2015,
Nixon, whose
crimes Hillary monitored as a staff lawyer for the
House of Representatives’ Judiciary Committee during
Watergate, had 18 minutes gap of missing information
on his White House analog tapes (about 20 pages of
double space typed pages missing). That
puny 18 minutes gap became "the smoking gun" that
sent Nixon packing from the White House.
Hillary has self admitted wiping out clean from her
private server 30,000 plus digital files (containing
far, far more volumes of information than contained
in 18 minutes gap on an analog tape)! She
had decided that what she wiped clean off her
server, the 30,000 plus files, was personal. Alas,
Nixon couldn't do same for the 18 minutes gap on his
analog tape!
By the way, David Kopel wrote in
the Washington Post on June 14, 2014, describing the
Nixon gap as “incident of evidence destruction by a
presidential administration.” Nixon left
office in 1974, after a landslide victory in the
1972 presidential elections.. Hillary is the
presumptive democrat nominee for 2016. And
President Obama has endorsed her.
Face to
face with Hillary's failings, Trump University
shouldn't matter, unless you are leftist or an
anti-Trump Republican who is offended more by the
vaunted Trump coarseness.
But is Trump the
only coarseness in this political season?
Knowingly siding with shoppers of activist judges to
bring down Trump; rooting for anti-Trump mobs at
rallies; burning the American flag or seeking to
replace it with the Mexican; supporting transgender
access to public school washrooms while your teen
daughters attend private schools.
And these
positions are not coarse?
Then call ISIS
Islamic terrorism a peaceful revolution because
Islam is a religion of peace.
There are far
more coarse ideas and policy positions coming out of
the Democrat's side than any that has come out of
Trumps mouth.
But watch, the Obama Justice
Department will not indict Hillary for her email
fraud because she is the only chance he has to carry
on his legacy,
Maybe you secretly wish so
too.
