In spite of a controversial first year with some setbacks
and delays in enforcement, United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions has
conducted a successful administration of the Department of Justice with
restored enforcement of our nation’s laws. Despite his diligent efforts in
cracking down on illegal immigration, gang violence, and sex trafficking, the
liberal press focuses only on the fact that he is a white, male southerner.
That’s racist and sexist in itself. Then this past week, they
slammed him on their front pages again because he praised the
“Anglo-American” heritage of our nation’s sheriff and their department.

Now what’s the problem?
Laughably and predictably, charges of racism emerged
immediately, along with references back to his stalled nomination to the
federal judiciary in the mid-1980s. Only Because of spurious accusations that
he had made racial comments, including calling a black staffer “boy”, Sessions’
nomination was rejected. Let’s debunk those baseless smears at once, As Alabama
State Attorney General, Sessions sued and bankrupted the KKK. He also fought to
implement full desegregation of the Alabama public school system. Cased closed,
revoke the Democrats’ race card.

If anything, the press needs to learn their history.
As to the statement in question, Sessions’ reference is not
racist at all, but a glowing reminder for all of us that our culture is drawn
from a rich legacy, fought over centuries, to enshrine power to individual
citizens while protecting natural rights.

First off, let’s recognize the context of Session’s “sensational”
words. He highlights the tradition of the voters electing their law enforcers so
that they are accountable to the people. This aspect of self-rule and local
control is essential to a vibrant, free society. We shouldn’t be surprised that
the liberal press mocks the long-standing custom of the little people electing
their rulers. The media has been fawning over North Korea’s well-dressed
cheerleaders for the last two weeks in the Winter Olympics, ignoring the
unspeakable atrocities of that brutal communist regime.

Second of all, the Anglo-American tradition which Sessions
referred to is as anti-racist as it gets. That’s what makes the tradition
commendable, praiseworthy. In her contentious yet enlightening interview with
Jorge Ramos discussing on immigration three years ago, Ann Coulter talked about the
“Anglo-American” culture which esteems women and children to the highest
degree. She later rebuffed
a young Latino conservative about the need to vote for leaders based on
principle, not blood line or skin color. “This blood thing, not really a part
of our Anglo-Saxon tradition”. Poor, corrupt, unfree countries have leadership
which appeals to the masses based on ethnic ties or color, not the rule of law
or inalienable rights.

The Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-American heritage is replete with examples
how individuals working together, i.e “the little guy”, stood up to reprobate
monarchs and rampant abuses of power.

Magna Carta: The Great Charter of 1215. Originally
titled the Great Charter of Liberties, outlined an agreement between King John
and English barons who rebelled against their insufferable monarch. The extensive
charter outlined clear-cut protections on justice, property, taxation, etc.

The significance of this document is that
lower-ranking men stood up to their king, refusing to allow him to bully, rape,
pillage, and dishonor them in their own country. Although this charter focused
on the interests of barons as opposed to serfs and other less-propertied
classes, the document signaled that men who were less than royalty or part of
the ruling class in any country or community did not have to submit to the
arbitrary will of the ruler. This development is unprecedented, as such
political assertion had not occurred in Continental Europe or elsewhere.

Yes, this movement toward liberty occurred
in England, so that makes it “Anglo.” That’s not racism or jingoist
ethnocentrism. It’s a historical fact.

The English Bill of Rights, 1689: Drawing from
Magna Carta’s legal principles and legacy of commoners and landowners standing
up a royal monarch, the British people rebelled against the increasingly
dictatorial streak of King James II, a restored member of the Stuart household
who was not only dead-set on reintroducing Catholicism to a predominantly
Protestant country, but was curtailing liberties at an accelerated pace in his
quest to do, including freedom of speech and assembly as well as removing
judges and elected officers contrary to his political schemes.

The British people had already endured
rebellion, the Republic, and then Restoration. They refused to regress into
another tyranny. Parliament extended an offer to Prince William of Orange and
his wife Mary, the daughter of King James to rule in place of the increasingly
isolated, unpopular monarch. With relatively little military conflict, James
fled for France, William and Mary became joint-rulers, and Parliament
established their growing supremacy over the monarch. The people took on more
power, and outlined further limitations on the head of state.

This Anglo-Saxon heritage is not racist, but worth rejoicing
about!

From these political movements, and the documents which
enshrined the will and rights of individual citizens, the Framers of the Declaration
of Independence and the United States Constitution (themselves English citizens
asserting their rights against the British Crown) drew further inspiration,
outlining a system of government based on checks and balances; the diffusion of
power among individual citizens, the several states, and the federal
government; and the protection of life, liberty, and property.

Because of the lack of proper civics training in our current
public education system, younger generations are leaning toward fully democratic
institutions, collective attitudes, and socialist economic policies, all of
which tend toward despotism rather than individual liberty. They even view as
racist the very political heritage which has recognized and protected their
freedoms.

A free society depends on the recognition of established,
plenary, and eternal principles, in which there exist equal rights for all,
special privileges for none, permitted expression of individual liberties, and
a process for enforcing the law while respecting due process. The Anglo-Saxon
legal and cultural traditions which AG Sessions alluded to make those political
ideals real. Attorney General Sessions has nothing to apologize for.
