United We Stand, Divided We Fall

 The ideology of  the radical left is taking over Washington and the rest of America is wondering how this came to be?  Could it be real or is this just a joke being played on the rest of us?  Did you  hear  the riddle about the President, the judge, the Harvard Professor and the cop?  One is the uniter, one is wise, one can’t be messed with and one is a pawn.  Can you guess which one out of the four is white?  Accorinding to Liberals, it can’t be the uniter.  White people by definition can’t heal racial tensions. Of course, the uniter is none other than President Obama himself.  It is not the wise one.  As stated by soon to be Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor,  white men are are not wise.  However, Latinas are very wise. It’s not the one who can’t be messed with, becasue it is the rule now that whites should get what is due to them.  Plus having a list of elitist credentials place the common blue collar on the lowest rung of the ladder possible.  Professor Henry Gates made that perfectly clear when he went on his rant against Officer Crowley.  Sadly the  pawn is Officer James Crowely, the white guy.  In agreeing to go the the Beer Summit, he  agrees to aid the propaganda that all is well.  Makes one  wonder,  did Crowley get an apology for being called “stupid” (After searching several articles, no mentin of an apology to Crowley.) By all accounts this is a very bad riddle. It can however, make us stop to think how Radical liberalism is shaping America.  There is nothig to hold them back.  

The Obama administration is moving ahead with their agenda of Cap and tax, healthcare and spending their way out of debt.  This is their definition of hope and change.  Underlining all of this is a bitter taste of racism.  It may be politically incorrect to say this because the President is African American, but it can not be denied. When given the opportunity to speak for America, what comes out of the President's mouth is not praise but criticism.  His books leads readers to believe that he had many obstacles put into his way because his father is from Kenya.  If  he truly was honest about his upbringing, why give credit to the contributions his White grandparents made to his success.  Correction. The  Grandmother was mentioned when he threw her under the bus during his Presidential speech while  defending his association with the Reverend Wright.  Obama’s associations with radical thinkers such as the Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers,  the nomination of Sotomayor and the Henry Louis Gates matter proves this beyond a doubt.  Racism is not dead, it's turning into something uglier. 

The Left does not want to let the race element in our society die.  In fact, the more fuel to the flame that can be added, the better.  As a nation, we have come too far to go back to segregation, yet that seems to be happening again.  Awards for Black achievements, Hispanic Achievements, Asian Achievements and the list can go on.  Not to mention the private schools, associations and that list can go on forever too.  This is not a suggestion that people should throw away their heritage.  Too many immigrants have made wonderful conributions to make America what is today that it would be foolish to do that.  However, as a nation we are American first, our hertiage should come second.  That is not played out in the political field.  If racial tensions are going to be healed completely, it is time to drop the labels.  United we stand, divided we fall.  Right now,  with the non post-racial President, we are all falling.  We are all the pawns.

Why Sotomayor Is Not the American Dream

This past week  the Senate held hearings on the confirmation of  Justice Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court Justice.   Democrats are in love with Sotomayor because she exemplifies the ideals of the American Dream.  The Media is fawning over her as if she's a centrist and brilliant legal mind.  Yet,  in her speeches and record as a Circut court Judge do not show that this is the case.  No one can deny  that Judge Sotomayor has achieved success in her chosen profession, but her success was not built on the American Dream.   It was built on Victimhood.  Is this a statement that is shocking?  Is this being disrespectful to a "Wise Latina"?  No.  It is just point out the facts. 
Judge  Sotomayor admitted that she believes that cultural biases is evident in America.  College test scores do not recognize this, therefore many minorities an not pass the test or score lower than their White American peers.  Well as  She  has stated that "I am always looking over my shoulders, wondering If I measure up." and that her time at Princeton made her feel as is she was in  a foreign land.  An outsider has to wonder why she made these comments.  She was born in the Bronx,  her  parents came from Puerto Rico in search of a better life.  Although circumstances made things difficult for her, she still found a way to succeed. There should be pride that this happens more often in America then in any other country but this is not her reaction.  Her love of country is not evidence.  The love of the institutions that have made this country thrive is missing.  What is obvious is that this is a woman has taken to  heart the victimhood identity. 
 Judge Sotomayor's work with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund where she sat on the organization's board of directors.   Sotomayor actively worked with the organization's lawyers on issues such as hiring practices, voting rights and the death penalty. The PRLDEF seems innocent enough, claiming on their website that they champion an equitable society.  Apparently, they believe that America does not stand behind it's Declaration of Independence, where it specially states that all men are created equal.  if they did, they would not be challenging the laws as if America is a racist country  They would not consider themselves minorities.  This is  plainly obvious in the memo that was signed by Justice Sotomayor, as a board memeber of the PRLDEF,  that she believed that the death penalty is "racist".   This is a serious accusation to make,  yet there is no evidence or reason to support this accusation.  It seems to be part of her "logic" that is at times questionable.   
  An American citizen does not call themselves Latina,  African, Italian or any other nationality unless they identify with that culture.  Unless they want nothing to do with the richness of American culture. It would be refreshing to hear people on the left proudly admit that they are Americans.   However that is not the "hip" way.  There are many children of immigrants in this country who have embraced their families culture but are American.  This author is one of them.  As a child of Italian Immigrants,   I was immersed with the food, music, and language of Italy.  However,  if you ask my parents what our nationality is, they will respond that they are Italian but their children are American.  As it should be.  The liberals like Sotomayor see themselves as being different from Americans, and not truly fitting into the fabric of the country.  It is my opinion, that they choose to fell this way.  There are a great many things that I love about Italy,  but I love America more.  Are we perfect?  Far from it!  There is no other place I would call home.  By the words and actions of liberals,  it is plain to see they don't love America and would rather tear it down and create a "better" America that looks just like Europe, Africa or Asia.  That would explain their love for international law. 
The American dream is for those who choose to grab it and take the risks that come with the challenge.  It was never intended to be a handout, or  something that one would win a lottery.  Every  person who has stepped on this soil from another country came with the idea that life would indeed be better here than back home.  Some of  the immigrants found their dreams, and some didn't.  That does not mean that America is prejudiced, it simply means that the reward goes to those who pursue the finnish line.  Sotomayor is a success, but she is not the American Dream Come True.  She detests American too much for making her work to achieve her goals.  Yes, this is the kind of person Americans need for a LIFETIME appointment on the Supreme court.
