Thanks, Obama, Now Dump Her

President Obama, thanks for nominating a Hispanic. Now dump her from the Supreme Court!

I understand the need to be “inclusive” in your decision to select Sonia Sotomayor for the highest court in the land. You have shown you are “inclusive” by selecting somebody with brown skin. Very good. You get brown-brownie points for that. Now let’s find somebody more qualified and less activist.

You see President Obama, skin color does not mean a damn thing. As a Hispanic, I can tell you my skin color does not have any magic potion. Sure, I was tempted to take the easy route. I could have let flaming liberals feel sorry for me and make me more “inclusive.” It would have been easy to take the affirmative action road–free stuff and no accountability. Instead, I focused on hard work and individual responsibility. Somehow, I don’t think most people will say to me, “Gosh, you must be smart and qualified. Your skin color is brown.”

Sonia Sotomayor is a walking billboard for affirmative action. From high school to the present, she has had her hand out to the liberal establishment. She has gone to the front of the line because of her brown skin. Has anybody bothered to ask how a poor Puerto Rican got into a rich, exclusive high school that she couldn’t afford? What about her grades in high school or college? What about her admonishments as a judge for poor quality work? What about being overturned so many times? What about her activist judge viewpoints? Is she qualified or does she have the right skin color?

Think about it.

    Nice Piece!

    Obama cloaked a radical activist in the veil of her compelling personal story. The media losers at CNN and MSNBC just ate it up though and seemed to conclude that Sotomayor would make a good justices because she has a different background than most.

    A nominee who is unabashedly willing to overturn legal precedence to ‘make policy’ is one to be defeated.

    Still, the DC press and Washington political classes uttered some strange statements in the hours that followed her nomination. (for a top ten list of these, you can view: http://firstconservative.com/blog/political-humor/political-humor-the-sotomayor-season-of-silly-statements )

Speak Your Mind


This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)

This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.

Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.
