From Doctor Zero at Hot Air:

Republicans need to win over independents, not pander to them. We must persuade them to climb against the slope of a political landscape that has been tilting left for generations, ever since America accepted the idea that its central government has the responsibility for fixing every problem in life, and the right to demand a limitless amount of their wealth and liberty to fund its efforts. In the Total State now under construction, the last thing anyone will be permitted is independence.

And what a stretch it was indeed. But somehow Tucker continues to display a need to play her brand of racial greivances to make innuendos against republicans:

They would oppose any judge nominated by a Democratic president who favors reproductive rights and supports civil unions for gay couples.

There are still some conservatives who deeply resent the social and demographic changes that have swept the country during the past four decades, leading to the election of the nation’s first black president.

Democrats have to keep the illusion going that republicans are racists and Tucker dutifully carries the water. Yes, of course the GOPs concerns are all about race. And lets also use this opportunity to take a whack at Sarah Palin.

Tucker uses a column by Pat Buchanan as her ammo. Yet she takes a throw away line by Buchanan about Palin to use it in a context that suits her preconceived racism. Tucker provides no link nor does she include Buchanan’s words in their entirity.

In a recent column, Buchanan railed that “pundits here get hoots of appreciation for doing to a white Christian woman what would constitute a hate crime if done to a ‘wise Latina woman.’” (Note the designation of Sarah Palin as “Christian” as if Sotomayor, who grew up Catholic, is pagan.) Buchanan advised his fellow Republicans to “expose Sotomayor … as a political activist whose career bespeaks a lifelong resolve to discriminate against white males.”

Here is a more inclussive record of Buchanan’s column:

Pundits here gets hoots of appreciation for doing to a white Christian woman what would constitute a hate crime if done to a “wise Latina woman.” But, as no Republican who followed the script of the mainstream media ever won a national election, why should the party pay them mind?

That beltway crowd includes the race baiter, Tucker. she finishes this way.

.

As long as the Republican Party is held hostage by a group of voters who refuse to let go of that image of America, it cannot hope to be a national party. Sonia Sotomayor represents the future, not Sarah Palin.

Tucker’s disturbing simple-mindedness and racists taunt against conservative voters “Resentment of high-achievers like Barack Obama and Sotomayor runs deepest among Palinites” is a remarkable assertion. Her use of the the term “upity” archaic and sophmoric.

Perhaps it is Tucker and those who think like her the ones with hate issues.

It looks like it, but you should never have expected otherwise.

Insert John McEnroe’s “YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME” here.

I don’t know how Newsweek even went with the piece by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy. But here’s a bit of one of the most outrageous comments ever made:

In truth, though, Obama’s pragmatic approach to divisive policy (his notion that we should acknowledge the good faith underlying opposing viewpoints) and his social-justice agenda reflect the views of American Catholic laity much more closely than those vocal bishops and pro-life activists. When Obama meets the pope tomorrow, they’ll politely disagree about reproductive freedoms and homosexuality, but Catholics back home won’t care, because they know Obama’s on their side. In fact, Obama’s agenda is closer to their views than even the pope’s.

Deal W. Hudson responds in insidectholic.com:

I very rarely used the word “offensive,” because it is thrown around so casually by the Left all the time. In this case, however, I have to say Townsend’s column offends me for both its arrogance and its ignorance of the “American Catholics” she presumes to know so well.

Maybe there’s good news in all this as Democrats are be coming off their messianic thing with Obama and have down graded him to just above the Pope status.

The man who’s case demonstrated to the nation that Sonya Sotomayor is wrong for the nations highest court is to be smeared by Democrat operatives.

People for the American Way is leading the efforts to discredit Ricci. However, the organization is forgetting its core message by attacking Ricci. It’s own mission statement says the following:

Our vision is a vibrantly diverse democratic society in which everyone is treated equally under the law, given the freedom and opportunity to pursue their dreams, and encouraged to participate in our nation’s civic and political life. Our America respects diversity, nurtures creativity and combats hatred and bigotry.

PFAW stand against Ricci reaches howler hypocricy status as it is Ricci who was a victim of Sotomayor’s ruling which kept him from pursuing his dreams. But not to get caught they applied the diversity portion in their press release of June 29:

Supreme Court today ruled 5-4 to overturn the Second Circuit’s decision in Ricci v. DeStefano. The Court’s ruling severely limits the ability of governments and private corporations to create a diverse workforce.

People For the American Way Executive Vice President Marge Baker issued the following statement:

“Anyone looking for more evidence of how conservative the Supreme Court has become will be well served by today’s decision. The Court today seriously undermined Title VII’s protections against acts that may appear harmless on their face but that, in fact, have a discriminatory effect.

“The Court today set a new standard for how states and cities across the country can operate – and in the process exposed conservative cries for ‘judicial restraint’ as utterly hypocritical. It seems conservative legal activists are perfectly happy to have judges rewrite the law as long as they get the result they want. In Ricci, the far right wing of the Court defied Congress’s well thought out design for encouraging diversity and preventing discrimination in favor of its own preferred policy. If the ruling has any upside, it’s that we’ll no longer have to listen to the Right’s cries of ‘judicial activism’ with a straight face.”

So essentially it seems that PFAW’s goal is a perceived diversity over equal opportunity. Nevermind qualifications, ability, the quality of leadership. First and foremost is skin color or gender. A moajority of American long ago decided that this is not the way we want to go as a society, yet PFAW demonstrates here that it is they who are outside mainstream American ideals….or ways if you will.

But there’s more. In the PFAW blog, People for Blog, Drew opins in a post about the witness list for the Sotomayor hearing the following:

Not exactly the kind of person who should be front and center discussing an institution that should be devoted to protecting the rights and liberties of ordinary Americans .

Emphasis mine. I doubt they will be able to get beyond the contradiction in his statement as it was an ordinary American in Frank Ricci whose rights were denied by Sonya Sotomayor.

A once gifted and inspired voice of conservative principles, Peggy Noonan’s rambling and condescending column on Sarah Palin is clear indication that she has joined the arrogant elitism of her Manhattan diggs. Today’s takedown of Noonan’s transformation to her upper west side sensibilities by Doctor Zero at Hot Air is a worth read.

Of the idea that Palin made the Republican Party look inclusive, Noonan snarls, “She makes the party look stupid, a party of the easy manipulated.” Well, that’s what they say at the high-toned Washington cocktail parties, where the elite liberals keep Peggy Noonan as a pet, so it must be true. The vast number of Palin admirers will be thrilled to know that Peggy Noonan thinks they’re stupid. I’m sure that will make them rush right into the waiting arms of Noonan and her weak-tea wing of the GOP.

Essentially, Noonan is saying that she thinks a significant part of the republican electorate are stupid. Her slide to a haughtiness that only is found in a handful of area codes is astonsihing in ways that are hard to even contemplate.

At first glance it doesn’t seem like much, but Jeff Francouer is younger, more athletic and durable than Ryan Church. He makes the Mets a better team at home in a outfield that proved to be quite challenging. Francouer’s presence and reputation in rightfield prevents teams from taking as many liberties on extra bases. When Carlos Beltran returns the Mets can be considered to have a good defensive outfield.
Its understandable to see things in a neggative light right now, but Omar Minaya and John Ricco did a good job here.

He might have as the famous financier endorsed him early on. Only six months into the Obama presidency, Buffett says this:

“Our first stimulus bill … was sort of like taking half a tablet of Viagra and having also a bunch of candy mixed in … as if everybody was putting in enough for their own constituents[.]“

Obama obviously seduced Buffett like he did most centrist thinkers. He never intended to be anything other than what he is now. It actually is the media that America will have to hold accountable for Obama for actually misrepresenting their own naive objectivity.
