Upset, uneasy? Not really, and not enough. They are allowing their own party to be destroyed, because they are afraid to take on the very spokespeople that represent their party. Going, going, gone. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot allow the slime to rule, and then claim some minor distress at what they say and do.

Liddy isn’t a conservative….he’s an entertainer(supposedly)…remember?

…Democrats who want us to ignore their racist past and failed socialism that have caused so much harm to black Americans.

Absolutely not. The Democratic party prior to the passage of the Civil Rights act was the standard-bearer for institutional racism in the U.S. We don’t want that ignored, because we want to prevent it from happening again.

We also concede that LBJ’s “Great Society” and “War on Poverty” were abysmal failures, largely due to the racist assumptions underlying their application. For the most obvious example, putting thousands of black people into sky-rise housing projects was extremely detrimental to their chances at opportunity down the road.

Again, we don’t deny any of this. We openly admit it all. We don’t want to sweep it under the rug. We’re trying to do better today. How about you?

Estrada’s nomination for a federal judgeship set off alarm bells among Democrats. There is a group of left-leaning organizations — People for the American Way, NARAL, the Alliance for Justice, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the NAACP, and others — that work closely with Senate Democrats to promote Democratic judicial nominations and kill Republican ones. They were particularly concerned about Estrada.

It seems obvious that they opposed him due to his qualifications, and not because of his ethnicity.

What is also obvious is that you can’t tell the difference.

On the other hand, even the most rabid Reichwhiner isn’t foolish enough to say that Judge Sotomayor lacks the professional acumen and experience to sit on the Supreme Court. That’s why they are making sh!t up to screech about.

Seriously, stupid trolls. One can’t legitimately compare Estrada and Sotomayor.

FirmMarci Says:

Is the point you’re trying to make supposed to be that people who support Sotomayor are hypocrites for not supporting another Latino nominee, even though his politics were in direct conflict with theirs?

Wouldn’t that mean that you’re criticizing people for NOT treating all Latinos the same because of their ethnic identity?

Kinda sounds like it.

Now there’s a completely self-loathing group.

LOL!

We recognize that this is likely too much to ask of the oh so “racially sensitive” Democrats who want us to ignore their racist past and failed socialism that have caused so much harm to black Americans. So we will not hold our breath waiting for their response.

In 2001,
President George W. Bush nominated former Justice Department lawyer Miguel Estrada to a seat on the federal courts of appeals. In that instance, as today, the nominee was was a Hispanic with a compelling story and impressive qualifications. And some of the very people who are today praising Sotomayor spent their time devising extraordinary measures to kill Estrada’s chances.

Born in Honduras, Estrada came to the United States at 17, not knowing a word of English. He learned the language almost instantly, and within a few years was graduating with honors from Columbia University and heading off to Harvard Law School. He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, was a prosecutor in New York, and worked at the Justice Department in Washington before entering private practice.

ElBruce,

After a lifetime of watching and reading sci-fi, I have learned to always suspect that the witch-hunter is the witch. ;)

They have a record of strongly denouncing the gay community and yet recent history revealed that some of the biggest complainers were gay. I will never understand that mind set.

I remember hearing from someone who was gay who was a previous young-Republican vocal homophobe. He said it had a lot to do with self-hatred, as well as a desparate desire to take suspicion off of himself by casting it on others. After all, nobody expects the witch-hunter to be the witch.
