Extra-legal?

Do we have a group of extra-legals in this country? By extra-legal I mean people who consider themselves above the law, people who do not think they need to follow the laws, who think they can do nothing for which the law should reprimand them.

For instance, can some people caught doing something that would be wrong for a normal citizen immediately cry, "Racism," to indicate they are not subject to the normal rules of behavior and certainly not to US law, to indicate if they are caught they are in fact victims?

And will that magic word, racism, succeed in drawing a shimmering cape around the poor maligned person? Will it magically qualify otherwise unqualified people for free education, jobs for which they are not qualified, and taxpayer-paid goods and services? Will it magically protect them and make them innocent even if they are undocumented, have lied, raped or stolen, or have engaged in congressional misbehavior? Yeah, sometimes it seems to.

Wow! It is much more magical than the magic word I was taught. Remember "please?" Remember how that magic word was drilled into you by your parents? And how it sometimes got you a candy bar?

Well, it seems that the "racist" word is being drilled into the extra-legals by preachers, legislators, and all sorts of authority figures. Why? It doesn't seem to be making the extra-legals happy. In fact, they are very unhappy. Along with that word, they are being taught that they are "special." They are unhappy because they expect too much for no effort on their part.

They are so unhappy that they disrespect the American flag, try to change America into the sad country they came from, or blow up in rage and shoot people because someone didn't react properly to his totally innocent acquisition of free beer.

So who is benefiting? The preachers? The legislators? Hmm . . . let's try the old rule - follow the money. Who are the millionaires in this picture?

Usually not the extra-legals, I think.
