Something Deeply Troubling Is Going On, Be Warned ~ Ep. 1266 ~ The Dan Bongino Show®

From the Dan Bongino Show’s description of this episode on youtube.com/Bongino or in his Show Notes:

In this episode, I address a deeply troubling tip I received about the Swamp and their ongoing battle against President Trump. I also address the disastrous Rod Rosenstein hearing on Capitol Hill and the total collapse of the collusion hoax. Finally, I address the new movement to kneel before others to virtue signal.

Dan begins this episode by talking about the people that were kneeling, to atone for their long history of racism, owning slaves, making people who were Black Americans sit in special sections of restaurants, or at the back of a bus.  Huh?  In one of the videos I saw, not one of those people could have been around before President Lincoln freed the slaves, and then fought a long, bloody civil war for, in the hopes of uniting this country once again, and making all people FREE.  No, and I didn’t see too many of those folks that were kneeling that were even old enough to see the days of segregation, or heard their grandparents calling Americans of African heritage “colored people.”  Yes, I do remember those days, and I am ashamed that those things did happen, when I was growing up.

But, like Dan says, unless you are a racist, their is no reason for personal guilt.  We should not kneel before any man.  Like Dan, I only kneel before the Lord, and I have plenty to be repentant for, in God’s eyes. Racism isn’t one of my faults, though, thank you Lord.  Racism and anti-Semitism disgust me to no end.  There is a little back story to that.  When I was in Junior Highschool (now called Middle School), I was tormented by a bunch of bullies for being of a particular ethnic descent. 

My father was of Czech heritage, a full blooded Czech!  My mother wasn’t, however, which made me only half-Czech, but I still had a Czech surname, of course.  That name alone made me a target.  Oh, it wasn’t just classmates that tormented me.  There was at least one teacher that called me “Little Bohemie,” in front of the other students in that Industrial Arts class.  I could walk down one of the hallways of that school, and dreaded every step, figuring some kid would either spit on me or slug me.  Yep.  It really was that bad.  Just because of my heritage, and being a little size-challenged.

So, there you go, it is amazing that I had to go through that anxiety, but I did get through it.  Things changed by the time I got to high school.  It helped that I had grown six inches, too.  (Long story that I’ll tell you some other day.)  By that time, America was changing for the better, too.  Civil Rights, school desegregation, and all of that, were starting to happen.  No, we didn’t see drastic changes in America over night, either.  There were still many people, on the wrong side, that fought against it as it progressed.  And then, as Dan will tell you about in the first block of this episode, Liberal Demonicrats came in control of all of the biggest cities.  There are a lot of people to blame for the plight of large minority populations in urban areas.  And it is not for the values that Dan, or I, or President Trump hold.  It was the people that developed a large amount of dependency on government, and the Demonicrats that held that carrot out in front of them, just to get votes.  Believe me, Dan crushes it in that segment.

Well, my personal experiences and thoughts about what Dan talked about were needed here.  But in regard to the rest of this episode, let me say it would be best for me to just let you go see it for yourself.  I had to hesitate before I wrote about this episode, not sure about what I wanted to say.  Obviously, it all came out in the way I wanted to tell you about my personal experience with bigotry and mistreatment, just because of my ethnic heritage!  Otherwise, I would have deleted this, and started over.  I can’t even fathom, completely, what people of African ancestry have had to deal with.  Yes, there are still some very bad people out there, and SOME of them will eventually face another election.  We still have challenges facing us, obviously, but together, we can overcome them.  What would really be deeply troubling, is if we didn’t try.  But kneeling down is not what is required.  Believe me.
