In 1964 the United States Congress and President enacted laws that made discrimination against individuals in the Unites States of America on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin illegal.\u00a0 This supposedly protected everyone against unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools, employment, and public accommodations.<\/p>\n

Over the years additional laws have extended the protected classes and added enormously to the federal government\u2019s authority to define obedience to these laws and punish supposed disobedience.\u00a0 Also, the government has introduced the concept of affirmative action to allow the government to abandon these requirements and practice discrimination along the same categories; race, color, sex; when it suits its wishes.\u00a0 Also, the government often will play fast and loose if one protected class is pitted against another.\u00a0 For instance, religious protection has lately often been thrown to the wolves when an LGBTQ case is involved.<\/p>\n

What seems clear to me is that it\u2019s time to add another protected class to the constellation of aggrieved groups; Normal Americans.\u00a0 Think of the actions that have been taken recently by social media, internet commerce companies, even banks and run of the mill Fortune 500 companies.\u00a0 They can quite literally ban you from the internet, shut down your bank account and fire you from your job just for claiming that men and women are not the same thing.\u00a0 You can be doxxed, harassed, even assaulted for holding plain old-fashioned beliefs about what is normal sexual and moral behavior.\u00a0 You can be labelled a bigot, racist, Nazi or terrorist for stating that Thomas Jefferson was a great American or that the Betsy Ross flag is a patriotic symbol of American history.<\/p>\n

So, I\u2019ll define Normal Americanism as any belief that was legal according to the U. S. Federal government in 1980.\u00a0 I\u2019m not even trying to criminalize behaviors or actions that became legal after that point.\u00a0 All I\u2019m doing is protecting the rights of people who just want to live the way the normal inhabitants of this country took for granted back before we gave veto power to social Justice Warriors and their Tech Billionaire enablers<\/p>\n

It\u2019s obvious to anyone who isn\u2019t deeply prejudiced against normal people that this group is being systematically oppressed by a large and powerful coalition of enemies.\u00a0 And it seems to me that it\u2019s time for affirmative action to be introduced to alleviate the worst excesses of this scourge.\u00a0 As an example, it would seem fitting that the Boards of Directors of Google, Facebook and Twitter should be tripled in size and all the new members should be selected by Steve Bannon.\u00a0 Every college should be monitored for discriminatory behavior against students who espouse religious beliefs that don\u2019t align with LGBTQ orthodoxy.\u00a0 Antifa needs to be handled by the FBI under the RICO laws, its offenders prosecuted and its sponsors bankrupted.<\/p>\n

And I will show just how welcoming I am of diversity.\u00a0 This status, Normal American covers any and all people who are being attacked for beliefs that even ten years ago would be considered sane and respectable.\u00a0 So if you\u2019re being attacked because you\u2019re a black community leader who believes illegal aliens take jobs from underprivileged kids or a radical lesbian feminist who thinks \u201ctrans-women\u201d are men taking advantage of a loophole to rob women of their ability to compete in sports or a Latino Catholic who is horrified that his kindergarten age son will be read to by a drag queen, you are covered under the Normal American Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n

Sure, all these scenarios should already be protected under freedom of speech or Title IX or freedom of religion under the 1964 law but obviously the only way to get action is to obtain majorities in Congress, and the Supreme Court (or in the case of the Supreme Court, supermajorities) and employ the same tactics today that were used in the 1960s and 1970s.\u00a0 This would require the federal government to deploy legal challenges to any state and local jurisdictions that resisted the federal law and even go as far as ordering troops to enforce statutes that were ignored locally.<\/p>\n

With respect to this latter action I can envision troops being sent to Portland to rein in the excesses of Antifa when the local government shirks its responsibilities.\u00a0 In fact, suing Portland to compel equal treatment would be a wonderful exercise of such a Civil Rights Act.<\/p>\n

So, obviously I\u2019m being facetious.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want even more unconstitutional law, I want less.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m saying is it\u2019s time for the Federal government in the persons of the Justice Department and the Supreme Court to finally put an end to all unconstitutional laws at the federal, state and local level that deny normal Americans their rights.\u00a0 How many times does the same wedding baker have to get the Supreme Court to rule in his favor before Colorado\u2019s kangaroo court is shut down by federal law?\u00a0 How many times does Google or Facebook or Twitter get to shut down or hamper a conservative entity for an action that it would ignore if a liberal entity acted equivalently?\u00a0 Maybe it will take one additional SCOTUS conservative to finally get us off the dime.\u00a0 But it\u2019s high time.<\/p>\n

The Republicans ought to run on this issue.\u00a0 They should say they\u2019ll eliminate as many unconstitutional laws as they can find.\u00a0 They\u2019d win back the House and they\u2019d get some respect, which right now they are sorely lacking.\u00a0 President Trump has already done quite a bit with his SCOTUS nominations.\u00a0 If he gets his Justice and Commerce departments to investigate Silicon Valley, it won\u2019t exactly be a Civil Rights Act but he\u2019ll be doing everyone a big favor.\u00a0 Let\u2019s hope 2019 ends with some pain for the Left.\u00a0 They deserve it for a change.<\/p>\n
