Right on!
Affirmative action is a stench on American citizenry. But this cancer is in the bone and marrow of American politics.
Obama opposes American exceptionalism. Fact is, the exceptional society envisioned by the Founding Fathers is an uncomfortable place for the unexceptional and mediocre. Honest merit is a challenge for the politically, economically and intellectually lame and halt.
The elitist fools who imagine themselves and their children immune from Obama’s socialist policies are willing to degrade American standards to accommodate the clueless and feckless in American society. GW Bush properly identified this attitude as the prejudice of low expectations.
150 years after emancipation, black folk can’t seem to get it together. Most are dependent on the American taxpayer in one form or another. Capitalism and individual freedom doesn’t seem to be a system under which they can thrive or even survive. Why not lower standards and handicap the able so the unable can achieve some semblance of equality?
You might think that a black or an Hispanic would recognize the implicit insult. Not that African Americans and Hispanics are one and the same category. Ask any shirtsleeves small business employer and he’ll tell you the practical differences in dollar and cents.
Sotomayor is a lefty pol who doesn’t properly represent Hispanics. An Hispanic whose skin may well be darker than an African American’s is by far and away a better choice of employee. Hispanics mainstream into American society after a generation or two. Hispanics seems able to run a small business and prosper. African Americans can’t.
How come? It aint skin color so what is it? The catholic Church? Gothic blood? Blacks call each other “brutha” but don’t practice brotherhood. Hispanics skip the empty verbiage and look out for each other. Their family unit might shock upright and uptight white folk but it’s a caring family. They don’t abandon their women and children for white taxpayers to look after. They are patriotic and contributing Americans who recognize socialism for the plague it is.
Santomayor will certainly be confirmed but Hispanics is not what she represents. She’s a lefty and the left is a religion sans ethnics. Likewise Ginsburg who is an disgrace to the Jewish community.
