Part V: A Wise Latino
Liberals love minorities in power, (as long as the minority in power is a liberal). Conventional wisdom says President Obama chose Justice Sotomayor because she was a Latina woman. According to liberals, that makes her a great choice for the High Court, not because of her record as a judge! If race should be a determining factor in judicial appointments, why did the Dems reject President Bush’s appellate court nominee Miguel Estrada? Republican George W Bush nominated a wise Latino in 2001, and he was rejected! Why? According to Congressional memos, the DNC did not want a strong Latino Supreme Court candidate for Bush to nominate in the coming years because it would hurt the DNC’s monopoly on minority voters. To be fair, Estrada was not rejected by the Senate; the Democrats simply refused to give Estrada an up or down vote. Just to be clear, conservatives oppose Sotomayor because there was some question as to her objectivity on race and gender issues. Liberals refused to vote on Miguel Estrada because of his race, and its conservatives who are racist? Come on!
Liberals don’t really want to promote minorities; they want to appear as if they promote minorities in high office. The reality is liberals promote liberalism. Judge Sotomayor was chosen first and foremost because she is a liberal that will advance the liberal agenda from the bench. The fact that she is a Latina is just icing on the cake. Liberals do not support minorities in power, they support liberals in power. If diversity on the Supreme Court was so important to liberals, why did they fight so hard to block Clarence Thomas’s appointment to the High Court? Not only do liberals oppose conservative and ‘originalist’ judges, they strenuously object to any minority that does not carry water for the DNC. Non-liberal minorities are bad for the Dems ‘race baiting’ business. When Republicans or conservatives appoint minorities to high office, it proves they are in fact not racists, a fact that liberals don’t want people to know.
An added bonus for liberals in choosing a minority is that anyone that is critical of the nominee can be hit with the racist label, obviously a favorite of the liberal. The only good minority is a liberal minority. The liberal hatred of non liberal minorities is not exclusive to judicial nominees; just ask Bush Administration minorities Condoleezza Rice, Colin Powell, Alberto Gonzales, Carlos Gutierrez, Elaine Chao, Mel Martinez, Alphonso Jackson, and Norman Mineta. Condi Rice served throughout the Bush Presidency and was attacked more than most. Rice, among other racial slurs, was called Aunt Jemima (as in the feminine form of Uncle Tom). Attorney General Alberto Gonzales took a great deal of liberal heat because it was believed he was in line for a Supreme Court appointment. In 2007 Democratic Senators and Congressmen called for a vote of no confidence in AG Gonzales. Even the moderate to liberal Colin Powell had to endure vile attacks because of his race. In 2002, Harry Bellefonte called Colin Powell a ‘house slave’, a derogatory term that means a person is not ‘authentically black’. Is this what liberals call diversity and inclusiveness? Conservative minorities need not apply?
This is very confusing and it may be a little hard for non liberals to comprehend this liberal insanity. To make things easier see chart below:
Liberal Non-Minority = Good
Liberal Minority = Better
Conservative Minority = Uncle Tom
Conservative Non-Minority = Racist
Got it? Good.
