Quick re-cap:

President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. During press interviews Judge Sotomayor said she believed her experiences as a Hispanic female would make her a better choice for the court than a white male.

There is no way getting around it, her comments were both sexist and racist. Of course she is now back-paddling and claiming to have misspoken but what else can she do? She has to calm the storm if she hopes to get confirmed, right?

(Actually, in today’s political climate she could probably print “PICK ME, I’M A RACIST” on t-shirts and still get confirmed! Yeah, you wish I was kidding.)

Thankfully the GOP seemed to be all over this. Former Speaker (and rumored Presidential hopeful 2012) Newt Gingrich called her comments racist and declared her absolutely unsuitable for this appointment–and the rest of the Republicans agreed.

The great part was the affect Speaker Gingrich’s words had on their conservative base, no to mention the millions of simple, rational Americans looking for new, strong leadership. People are fed up with all this race-based thinking–they’re fed up with people like Sotomayor who think they are more qualified for (basically) everything because they’re not white and people like President Obama who agree.

But it was a short lived dream. In less than 48 hours, Gingrich is already back-paddling and apologising for calling Sotomayor’s comments racist.

“In a letter to supporters, the Georgia Republican said that his words had been “perhaps too strong and direct” last week when he called Sotomayor a reverse “racist,” [AP Article Here]

Good grief…

First of all there is no such thing as a “reverse” racist. Racist is just racist.

Furthermore, Sotomayor is sexist as well and I for one would prefer my judges to not be sexist, ok?

Finally, nothing had changed: Sonia Sotomayor has admitted that sex and race influence her decisions as a judge and just because the GOP is too cowardly to admit it doesn’t mean the Democrats don’t still have a responsibility to stop her appointment.

This isn’t about Blue vs. Red or Liberals vs. Conservatives….this is about right vs. wrong.

And Sonia Sotomayor is wrong.

(And shame on you Newt! I had such hope…..such hope!)

Ok, this was a pretty interesting article from the AP that basically blames the ENTIRE drug problem here in the United States on…you guessed it, Americans.

Users draw drugs into US; Mexicans feed the demand
By David Crary THE ASSOCIATED PRESS 5/27/09

First of all, yes–the drug user “the demand” is ultimately responsible for the choices he or she makes but that does not absolve the drug dealer or “the supplier” of any wrong-doing.

Read the article if you have time but here are a few excerpts…and by the way, if you start to get the feeling that Mexico is blaming America you’re not misreading anything…that’s exactly what they’re doing–that’s what they always do.

“…the Mexican government is fighting the cartels and working with U.S. authorities who have promised to stop the southbound flow of weapons and cash. However, all parties are aware of the role played by the U.S. market.”

The southbound flow of “weapons and cash” are coming from whom? Americans? Maybe its coming from the (probably illegal) Mexican immigrant dealers hiding out in the U.S.

But according to Jose Luis Pineyro, a sociologist at Mexico’s Autonomous Metropolitan University (Autonomous Metropolitan University…what is that?):

“When the U.S. government turns up the pressure a lot, then is when you see a return to the old formula of saying (to Americans), ’You also have corruption, you consume the drugs, you’re the biggest drug consumer in the world.”

But it gets worse…Obama’s new Drug Czar agrees with Senor Pineyro which I can only assume was some sort of prerequisite for the job.

“Gil Kerlikowske, a former Seattle police chief recently appointed by President Barack Obama as the U.S. drug czar, said the Mexicans “make an excellent point.”

He continues…

“Our drug abuse causes problems elsewhere. Our per capita consumption is very high,” said Kerlikowske, who argues that reducing demand through education and treatment is as vital as border interdictions in quelling Mexico’s drug violence.”

While other countries have their own drug problems they simply don’t compare with those we face in the U.S.

“Studies of youth drug use in Western Europe show a few countries with serious problems. However, overall a far lower percentage of young people there are abusing drugs than in America.”

Yep. The highest drug rates in the world!

“There’s no escaping the fact that we have the highest drug rates in the world,” said Craig Reinarman, a sociologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

How do we explain this? On wait, I have an idea:

MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE THOSE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES DON’T SHARE A BORDER WITH MEXICO!!

Yes, we need education and more drug awareness/prevention programs but how can we possibly hope to stop this problem if we don’t stop treating these dealers like their just doing their job.

Good grief….we’re tougher on our own alcohol and tobacco companies than we are on Mexico and their insidious drug industry!

Slap Mexico–stop all aid we give them until the drug trafficking stops and something tells me their government will find a way to do it muy rapido.

Maybe they’ll appoint their own Drug Czar…and be smart enough to not headhunt any of our people!

In his last column “Playing With Fire: The Obama Administration Backs Anti-White Discrimination in Ricci” VDARE.com’s own Steve Sailer discussed a few of Ms. Sotomayor’s atrocious judicial decisions…and warned us of her impending Supreme Court nomination

To get an idea of just how insanely liberal and frankly idiotic this woman can be I took the liberty of pulling a few comments from an article written by Stuart Taylor for National Journal Magazine.

Addressing a mostly Hispanic group at Berkeley School of Law about “Law and Cultural Diversity”, Judge Sotomayor said:

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

The most poignant comment in Mr. Taylor’s article was this:

“Sotomayor also referred to the cardinal duty of judges to be impartial as a mere “aspiration because it denies the fact that we are by our experiences making different choices than others.” And she suggested that “inherent physiological or cultural differences” may help explain why “our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”

Experiences? Choices? Cultural differences? How has this woman been allowed to keep her law license? I know she’s “special” and therefore was allowed to attend “special” universities (you know, the kind simple white girls like me only get to attend if we pay through the nose LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE) and pay “special” tuition rates (“special” meaning “free”) but does she also get to “protect and uphold” a special Constitution? It sure sounds like it.

Oh people, we’re in trouble. I would say pray that the GOP puts a stop to this madness but their track record for standing up to the New Kids on the Block hasn’t been consistently strong…or consistently weak…actually, I have no idea what they even do all day.

Then again, they haven’t shown any since the days of Speaker Gingrich so even though they have the votes to stop the appointment, I’m not holding my breath.

But something tells me the criminals are!

Ok, Jack Kemp died and my sympathies certainly go out to his family.

That being said…

My first big political campaign was working (basically as a coffee-fetching, dog walking, and phone answering lackey) for the Dole/Kemp Presidential campaign in California. So yes, I am grateful for all the opportunities that came my way as a result of their employment.

Again, that being said…

The obituaries, especially from the more conservative media outlets, are so favorably discriminating it boggles the mind. More than that, what is going to happen when all the “not so fluffy” stories come out about Kemp…and they will.

For example, during a campaign stop in central California I was lucky enough to check out the tour bus. Oh yeah, eager-beaver interns will work 20 hour days, everyday, for free just so we can walk behind the Velvet Rope…for a couple of seconds.

The tour bus had everything a mobile political army would generally have but with two umm…accessories:

• Enough footballs to stock every sporting goods store in the Western Hemisphere and;
• Bo Derek

Oh yeah, the “10” herself was for some reason along for the ride. (And wow…she really is gorgeous.) Immediately the lackey interns start gossiping about what we saw on the bus and the footballs were obvious: everywhere they went people wanted Jack Kemp to sign one for them.

And Jack Kemp was very gracious to sign as many as people wanted no matter how much of his time that demanded.

But getting back to Bo…while discussing her appearance it was discovered that Mr. Kemp loved at least one thing more than football and that was girls, girls, and more girls.

He never behaved inappropriately towards me but I can attest for more than a handful of girls from that campaign trail who would say otherwise: and some fought him off and some did not.

It was never proven that Bo Derek was involved with Jack Kemp-just rumored. Unfortunately, while the gossip mongers ran wild with those allegations there were far too many legitimate claims by other women to not at least consider the possibility: where there is smoke, there is fire.

Jack Kemp was basically a good guy; a good guy who sometimes made mistakes just like the rest of us…isn’t that not a good enough eulogy?

Funny enough, I think the ultra-modest Jack Kemp I met would actually be happy with that description of himself.

Remember all the horrible crimes that took place during Hurricane Katrina? Then all the subsequent attempts by the media to prove that first, no such crimes occurred and more importantly, they were invented by supposedly racist people hoping to, I don’t know, keep the Black man down?

Well they’re back…with a vengeance.

The article is titled The Grinning Skull…the homicides you didn’t hear about in Hurricane Katrina by Rebecca Solnit, a San Francisco based writer.

It’s been published by a group named TomDispatch.com; a peculiar (and rather large) group of writers who claim to be an antidote to Main Stream Media or as they say:

“Tomdispatch.com is for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our post-9/11 world and a clear sense of how our imperial globe actually works.”

Apparently they also market to anyone seeking unabashedly deceitful garbage!

Solnit began her novel…sorry, I mean article, with this:

“While the national and international media were working themselves and much of the public into a frenzy about imaginary hordes of murderers, rapists, snipers, marauders, and general rampagers among the stranded crowds of mostly poor, mostly black people in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, a group of white men went on a shooting spree across the river.”

You see, I was sent this article by Peter Brimelow for a specific reason: My brother-in-law is a member of the Louisiana National Guard and was working inside the Superdome when, according to Solnit, many of these “imaginary” crimes took place.

Imaginary murder, imaginary rape…imaginary Black criminals.

I say Black criminals because inside the Superdome that night there were only a handful of White evacuees; a smattering of White men huddled together in the corners, surrounding the women to keep them from being next on the imaginary rape list.

According to my brother-in-law (and all the other guards working in New Orleans during that time) there was nothing imaginary at all about the crime spree that took place.

He says it was a horrifying and shockingly primitive.

Women and yes, even children could not use the rest rooms for fear of encountering one the many predators lurking in the dark recesses of unlighted stalls.

People with food were constantly beaten and robbed including the women in possession of nothing more than milk for their babies.

Any men who attempted to protect the women from oncoming rapists were beaten and left for dead; cut up, bleeding and begging for help.

Solnit makes claims like:

“The media demonized the city’s black population for crimes that turned out not to have happened…”

And…

“The widely reported violent crimes in the Superdome turned out to be little more than hysterical rumor, but they painted African-Americans as out-of-control savages at a critical moment.”

I have no idea where Ms. Solnit gets her information (she claims to have visited New Orleans a couple of times) and I really don’t know where she gets off spreading such lies—liberal pomposity must devour the conscience.

The truth is there were many, many victims in the Superdome that night; what she claims were “hysterical rumors” were actually incontrovertible truths and yes, the perpetrators happen to have been African-American.

But what if it was the other way around? You know, the victims Black and the perpetrators White?

Yeah, something tells me Ms. Solnit would be demanding victim restitution rather than criminal absolution.

Ok, at the risk of sounding repetitive or cynical….SO WHAT!!!!!!

What that headline really says is: Mobster Wants The Flip-Flopper (From Who Knows What Party) To Be President!

There’s a surprise…what can we expect next from this new merger? “Mobster asks MCCain for a Favor“…to appoint his Consiglieri, Frances Corleone, as either Attorney General or Ambassador to Sicily?

Hmm…how fine is that line between “favor” and “threat” at this point?

Unless God himself (or at least one of the Superstar Angels like Gabriel or Michael) endorses McCain, the Arizona Senator still won’t win…no matter how many cheesy Republicans endorse him!! And forgive me but even if McCain has the Big Guy’s endorsement, I would still bet against him!!

Now then, if you don’t hear from me again its because I have been struck by lightening and suffering the fate of those who challenge the will of the Divine! Sorry!!

(Not the He would pick McCain anyway…this is clearly hypothetical, ok?)

According to Senior Gubernatorial staff (via the LA Times), Arnold Schwarzenegger will announce his endorsement for Senator John McCain’s Presidential campaign tomorrow.

Hmm…let’s think this through for just a moment:

1. Not that I am some political wunderkind or anything but…wasn’t Senator McCain pretty much flatlining on the table just a few months ago when suddenly he popped up as a new conservative man with new conservative ideas for America?

2. Didn’t he go to great lengths–including cancelling his weekly canasta game with Senators Reid and Durbin–just to prove his re-commitment to the GOP? Didn’t he remove his support from several, shall we say “less than ethical” oops! I mean “less than conservative” Congressional bills that had earned him the title of Teddy’s Bitch? (Sorry to my boss Peter Brimelow but I promise there was no other way to accurately describe the relationship!)

3. Wasn’t this remarkable turn-around the only reason he survived in Iowa and New Hampshire…you know, as opposed to being thrown out into the snow on his…umm…flip-flopping behind?

4. Herr Schwarzenegger is solely responsible for the dejected, fractured and seemingly unmendable GOP in California. He is solely responsible for creating unprecedented dismay among conservative voters and practically driving the libs to the polls. He spends more time pleasing the Democrat-controlled House than trying to figure out how to get it back. In fact, it would not surprise me if his Democrat Chief-of-Staff neglected to brief him on his ability, authority and YES even his responsibility to pull his Party back from the brink…but no!

YOU’VE GOT TO BE JOKING!! Wait a minute…

When I read what I just wrote, Schwarzenegger’s resume could easily have John McCain’s name at the top, huh? Anyhow…

Schwarzenegger decided to throw his considerable clout behind Senator John McCain for the GOP nomination in this year’s election.

Considering that John McCain is already (and I think perhaps permanently) at the bottom of my “people who should never be elected or hold positions of power” list (this list includes names such as Gloria Steinem, Patricia Ireland, Ted Turner, George Soros…you get the picture) I guess McCain can finally be removed…to a new list that is!

Now his name is just Mud…smelly, worthless, algae-polluted McCain Mud.

Schwarzenegger endorses McCain!! How daft is this thing going to get before even the wackiest of the wacky get migraines or something and for the love of Pete, just mercifully let all the twaddle go?? Preferably down some smelly, rancid drain…maybe over at Schwarzenegger’s house…ooh, or over at the hotel where the Screen Actors Guild Award Show is held!! Yeah…now I’m thinking…all those smelly, smug drivel-spewing “actors” can rinse off in the water from all those smelly, rancid drains fresh off the campaign trail!!

Sometimes my imagination gets carried away but come on, isn’t this one a win-win?

Senator John Edwards (D-SC) is already beating up on poor Ms. Hilary (which is probably more of a hobby than a strategy) but not because she is the candidate for him to beat in the Primary election:

I think he sees her as the candidate to beat for the VP slot on Senator Obama’s Presidential ticket next fall.

But maybe little Eddie should be careful: What if it becomes Hilary’s Presidential ticket? Seriously, tonight’s battle in New Hampshire is only the second of many Primary elections to come—it’s still anybody’s game and right now, Hilary is in the lead!

Gee whiz, Senator McCain is winning (according to FOX News but only 14% precincts are reporting as of 8:30 EST) in NH just like he did in 2000…you know, before he lost the nomination to Bush II. Remember: New Hampshire has an extraordinarily large number of registered Independent voters. Registered Independents in NH can vote for any candidate, Republican or Democrat…or Green Party, or Peace and Freedom party, or Vampires…either way, they enjoy the benefits of Open Primary selection.

(Not kidding, remember that kooky guy who ran for office in Minnesota as a Vampire? Yeah, the freaks come out at night…)

The only thing keeping McCain alive ANYWHERE is the fact that he backed off his ridiculous position on illegal immigration. He stopped playing patty-cake with Ted Kennedy and started listening to all the conservatives who oppose illegal immigration.

I haven’t heard him say “path to citizenship” or “undocumented workers” in ages which for him must have required at least a few rounds of good old fashioned shock therapy.

The night isn’t over–I’ll be back to report the totals in just a bit!

Some church in Simi Valley, California is “hiding” an illegal immigrant and her child from immigration authorities who want to deport her–no, I’m not talking about my favorite fugitive Elvira Arellano but yet another (of what I assume must be thousands) mouthy lawbreaker!

Following a recent protest which required (expensive) additional law enforcement support, the mayor of Simi Valley, Paul Miller, decided to charge the responsible party for all costs incurred. Yeah, the church!! The United Church of Christ is currently home for “Liliana” as part of the church’s “New Sanctuary Movement.”

The “New Sanctuary Movement.” is an official program/policy for all United Church of Christ facilities–and they just got a $40,000 bill from the city! I think it’s brilliant, just brilliant!

Mayor Miller made his intentions very clear and very simple: “This city is not going to be known as sanctuary city.”

For more info click here.

To tell Mayor Miller how awesome he is or to encourage the rest of his City Council to support his position, click here.

Hmm…if you want to tell the church to KNOCK IT OFF this is their email.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a senator from Arizona named John McCain was a frontrunner among GOP contenders for the 2008 Presidential elections. Today he’s polling somewhere near the bottom of the pack. (Rasmussen Reports)

While the Senate tried to hammer out an immigration reform bill this week, McCain did manage one memorable moment on the floor when explaining why we could not simply deport all the illegal aliens already here. He said,

“We don’t have 12 million pairs of handcuffs.”

Wow…that’s a good one. People (voters) will undoubtedly see and follow the logic in that zinger!

Personally, if I were McCain I would give my writing staff a raise at this point. By “raise” I mean sneak up behind them, place a sack over their heads, drive them to the local pack-and-ship store, have them boxed up (yes, with bubble wrap) and have them mailed some place nice like…Darfur.

Good grief, it’s not that horrifying–I’d send water with them.

Oh yeah, then I would drop out of the race and try to get a real job. Again, this is the scenario as played by John McCain…so my new job would likely be with the government of Mexico…oh wait, he kind of already works there I think.

Moving on…

It has been mentioned that the Secretary of Homeland Security himself–Michael Chertoff–was making the rounds this morning trying to persuade Republican senators to back the Bush immigration bill.

Lobbying with him was Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez. Now I’m not suggesting that President Bush sent a virtually unknown man with absolutely no influence as some sort of Hispanic “token” to influence certain legislators but…well, yes actually I am suggesting that is what he did.

Either way, the bill is officially gone. No amnesty this year. No reform this year.

BUT THIS IS A GOOD THING!! It would take a miracle for Congress to get anything passed before the 2008 election and that is the best we in the reform movement can hope for.

Ever since the Dems took control of Congress, VDARE.com has been saying that the best thing we can hope for (other than the passage of a bill that does round-up and deport every illegal alien in the country while simultaneously shutting off the immigration faucet across the board) is for Congress to do nothing.

We need to be patient for now and in 2008 elect politicians who are serious about immigration reform.

(As you know, VDARE.com does not endorse candidates and other such political nonsense but regarding the aforementioned folk we should elect in 2008, I don’t think he hails from Arizona.)

This same exact amnesty bill was drafted by the Bush administration and literally slaughtered in the GOP-led House last year only to be resurrected and killed again in the Dem-controlled Senate this year.

A new day is coming with a new leader (possibly a new Congress?) and who knows what that will bring but one thing is certain:

It won’t be another stupid Bush Amnesty Bill.
