Reparations are a Popular Subject Now

Al Ritter

Talks about reparations seem to be popular lately, most recently in California where talks are being made to give $250,000 to every black person whether or not they can prove family history of slavery.

It seems ironic that families of Chinese and Irish slavery victims have never been included in these talks. This doesn’t seem to bother the left as they continually move forward on only black slavery reparations even though in California’s situation historically California never held slaves.

Fast forward today to Poland who has petitioned the UN in October to award $1.3 trillion in damages from WWII. Germany has now claimed they consider reparations a closed issue and refuse to even participate in talks.

Germany claims that under communist rule the matter was closed long ago, while Poland claims that the agreement under the Soviet rule wasn’t legally binding.

I suppose that Germany sees that opening any talks would in fact open the flood gates from other countries occupied during WWII under the Third Reich.

Some may say that the Statue of Limitations has run out. If that is in fact the case after 78 years, maybe there should be an explanation why the Statute of Limitations hasn’t run out on black slavery 185 years ago.

Billys grand dad said...: Why should any black in CA get reparations, especially without proof of a claim? And if it's in another state they should be denied!; January 5, 2023 at 5:54 PM
Billy Ray said...: There should be a statue of limitations on all this stuff, being held responsible for things done by people that have been dead for decades makes no sense. They want people to be held responsible for things their grand parents or great grandparents did is ridiculous.; January 7, 2023 at 9:51 AM

My Personal Beliefs ( so you know where I'm coming from)

I believe, that the United States of America is the best country in the world bar none.

I believe, the founding fathers wrote the Constitution of our country based on their belief in Christianity, and encouraged the practice of all religions but not at the expense of the others.

I believe, the Supreme Court should interpret the Constitution and not legislate from the bench.

I believe, the Constitution is a legal document, and not a living document subjected to constant change.

I believe, the course to peace is based on strong military, strong principles, and not a pacifist denial approach.

I believe, the second amendment is the right of every citizen in our country, and people not guns are the cause of murder.

I believe, in the death penalty as a form of public compliance to our laws.

I believe, a declared “hate crime” should not just be limited to describe the victimization of one race, or religion, but should be applied equally.

I believe, taxes are necessary to run our country and benefit our citizens, and not to give to foreign governments to “buy” friendships.

I believe, the government should have no right to tax a dead man’s estate on money he has already paid taxes on.

I believe, the President should have the power of the Line Item Veto.

I believe, that Senator’s and Congressmen should have term limits the same as the other elected officials.

I believe, that Senators and Congressmen should eliminate the word “entitlements” from their vocabulary.

I believe, that taxation in our country is disproportionate according to annual salaries, and serves to polarize citizens within the system.

I believe, “Affirmative Action” is neither affirmative nor action, and should be eliminated, as it’s just another form of prejudice.

I believe, that “pork barrel” or “earmarks” should be eliminated, as they are detrimental to budgetary constraints of our country.

I believe, in a balanced budget amendment with the exception of a declaration of war.

I believe, that if it’s so easy to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for a Presidential Position that pays $400K a year, then the amount raised should be taxed.

I believe, in governing our own country, and never handing power of a New World Order to the United Nations for any treaty.

I believe, to insure the safety of our citizens, we need to secure our borders and enforce existing immigration, and hiring laws.

I believe, that English should be formally declared our official language, and should be used in business dealings at home, and English should be taught in school systems to mainstream students.

I believe, that immigrants to our country should be made to assimilate to our culture, and not the other way around.

I believe, global warming is a reality, but to declare that man made emissions are the main cause, based primarily on computer based models, is akin to believing that weathermen can predict next week’s weather based on a “preponderance of evidence.”

I believe in term limits for Congress.

I believe that lobbyists should be banned in our country!

I believe that campaign funding should ONLY come from within a Congressman or Senators' HOME state!

There is one areas I don't agree with the official Republican Platform:

I believe in Gay, and Lesbian Rights

I do not believe in same sex marriage though
