THOR’s DAY RANT: Sotomayor Says- white is the new black!

Our country sure has come a long way. Unfortunately, it’s in the wrong direction.

I remember when cowboy movies had the good guys in white hats, and the bad guys in black. Back then I never would have guessed it was a racial dig on black people. And then George Lucas had to mix things up, putting Stormtroopers in white, and Darth Vader- who becomes a Good Guy in Return of the Jedi- in black. Movie colors got all mixed up.

I don’t know why it surprised me, but I was shocked to see a story yesterday about Supreme Court-nominee Sotomayor stating that "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." Wow.

It got me wondering- does she wear white sheets on the weekend, or perhaps red, white and green ones? Of course, she wouldn’t be caught dead wearing white, as that’s the new target of hate.

Don’t get me wrong about the whole Latinos-vs-whites thing. White Europeans did come to the Americas and interbreed with and brutalize the Native Americans throughout Central and South America. I can understand a little animosity there. Even though that was what, centuries ago? And all those people are long dead…

But the last people I would expect to embrace/nominate any racism would be African Americans.

Think about it, throughout the 1700s and into the 1800s, blacks were treated pretty damned poorly in the Southeastern United States. They were traded, owned and controlled like cattle. And when they did finally get liberated, the harsh treatment continued- slavery being replaced by segregation. We’re less than a hundred years into a truly integrated society where people really are created equal, and treated equally. Yet, Obama has not only embraced an apparent racist, he wants to put her smug ass in the Supreme Court.

I have to echo if a white man said something similar, he would be run out of town. Sotomayor’s logic sets a dangerous precedent. I only wish she could be hoisted on her own petard.

For example, if Latina women are smarter than white men, where do Orientals fall on the scale? Can we assume she agrees with Japanese racists, and that all Americans are not only fat and lazy, but inferior to the Japanese? Shouldn’t we then put Judge Lance Ito on the Supreme Court? He did a bang-up job on the OJ Simpson case.

And if there’s truth to the idea that race determines things like intelligence, then we have to also consider that other attributes, like, I don’t know, athleticism, must also be racially determined. I guess that means no more Larry Byrds playing basketball.

Maybe Judge Sotomayor would like to make a ruling on siestas? Perhaps she in her infinite El Girly wisdom could see fit to make it unconstitutional to not allow people siestas at work. I know I could use a nap in my busy day. I guess since I’m not Hispanic I won’t get it though. While she’s at it, maybe Sotomayor could mandate that Native Americans never have to pay for alcoholic beverages again. You know, because they’re all drunks, gambling away their government checks in their reservation casinos.

What brand of soap does Sotomayor like to use? Does she wash away the rigors of the day with some Irish Spring, or maybe a bar of Hitler’s best mix from Auschwitz?

I wonder what Sotomayor’s beef is against us folks that are pigment-challenged? Did she lose out on a scholarship in her college years? Did some white person get government-mandated special treatment that she wanted? Or maybe she’s angry about all the white people that get extra points added to test scores on Federal jobs? Or that are bussed into different school districts so they can have a chance to more easily learn hip-hop?

More importantly, besides being branded dumber than Latina women, what is next for white men? Aside from buying white sheets and joining the skinheads?

Apparently, in the Maobama administration, rainbows encompass all colors…except white.

 
Whatever you do, don’t call it Democracy

Something has been bugging me since the latest election, and I just can't shake it…SOOO, I decided to share it.

When a tree-hugging liberal wins the popular vote but loses the electoral votes, and therefore loses the presidential election (perfectly constitutional), libs whine and cry about the "popular vote." But, when the “popular vote” is inconsistent with the liberal agenda, the libs do a complete 180 and implement any tack they can to force their minority opinion on the American people.

I hate hypocrisy.

I am so sick and tired of hearing how GW Bush "stole" the 2000 presidential election. I mean really…you just can't "win" when it comes to competing with liberals. They argue that, "Al Gore actually won the popular vote," and that Bush's presidency was an illegal farce. Apparently the libtards were asleep in junior high social studies the day the Electoral College was explained. Had they been paying attention, maybe the libs would’ve realized the legality of it all.

Here's how it works. Our forefathers (I will refer to as “fo-pops”) were genius enough to foresee largely populated states having too much control in the "republic" (not democracy) they were establishing, which is why the Senate was formed: to give equal representation to each state, regardless of population. This also explains why no bill can pass through Congress without Senatorial approval. This measure helps to level out the playing field. Also, our crafty fo-pops originally gave the power of electing our prez to the Legislature, not the people (Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution). But in 1804, the 12th amendment to the U.S. Constitution created the Electoral College (not electorial as some erroneously say), because the idea of the "elite" members of Congress choosing our prez seemed to be a tough pill to swallow for some folks. This change not only allowed, but insisted that each state appoint electorates outside of the Legislature to elect our Commander-in-Chief; with the number of electorates being determined by a state's total number of representatives and senators. Plus, the popular vote winner of each state would receive ALL of the votes from that state's electorates. Ergo, each state is able to maintain its independence, and less populated states can actually influence the outcome of a presidential election.

Please understand, our fo-pops were definitely not stupid. You have to remember, Europeans immigrated to the New World because they had no say in their respective governments, which were mostly monarchial at that time. So, after years of oppression and control from the British government, the fo-pops understood the benefit of self-governing– "…for the people, BY THE PEOPLE…" The last thing they wanted was to fight a grueling Revolutionary War, and then form another oppressive dictatorship. Therefore, they opted to establish a republic. This way, each state could maintain a sense of independence, yet enjoy the solidarity of the federal government, which, by the way, was intended primarily for national defense.

But here is what really gets my goat (so to speak). When it comes to the issues, libs always want to impose their views on the majority, even (let me repeat) EVEN after the votes are cast and the libtards lose; we witnessed this with the abortion issue. Although the "popular vote" was against abortion, the libs got the Supreme Court to overturn the will of the American people by judicial fiat. This is a prime example of why Jefferson complained that the Supreme Court was effectively an "Oligarchy." Another example of liberal imposition is Prop 8 in California. The folks of this infamously liberal state voted to ban gay marriage. Great! The people spoke. But guess what…the wacko libtards once again ran to the courts, blubbering like a daycare full of Bel Air brats, in order to impose their will on the majority. If that weren’t enough, they have begun utilizing personal attacks along with other, less benign, intimidation tactics to overturn Prop 8.

To sum it up, our government is a Republic. However, an Oligarchy seems to better serve the cry-baby liberal agenda. Even still, some people think we live under a Democracy. But you know, I believe the government that would best suit the liberals’ “say one thing, do another, and to hell with it: do whatever it takes” tactics would be most accurately categorized as a “Hypocracy.”

 
Supreme court imposes its will on the people yet again

Says child rape not a capital offense

What kind of world are we living in? The kind where stupid questions must be asked and answered by those who can impose their will on the people of this great nation. This is in spite of the fact that those who wield this kind of power have no right whatsoever to impose their will upon the American people. Yet that is exactly what happened this week as once again the Supreme Court's evil, sick, and twisted left wing handed down another stupid ruling.

This time the neoliberals of the court took aim at children. They started with a question, as I stated in my preamble, an utterly inane question. A question which never should have been asked: "Can child rape be so vicious it warrants the death penalty?" According to five of the nine justices, the answer is an unequivocal, "NO." Said Justice Anthony Kennedy, "We cannot dismiss the years of long anguish that must be endured by the child victim of rape. It does not follow, though, that capital punishment is a proportionate remedy for the crime."

Apparently Kennedy is a recovering victim of child rape. How else would he know that the punishment doesn't fit the crime? And his ridiculous comment about not dismissing "the years of long anguish that must be endured by the child victim of rape" is disingenuous, since that is exactly what these profligate liberal scumbags did when they ruled in this manner. They showed the entire world that they think more of NAMBLA, et al than they do of children who are the victims of these miscreants. Sick, sick, sick.

Moreover, by defying states rights and thus the right of the people, these lefty judges denied states the right to adjudicate as they see fit in their own jurisdictions. This is another in the long litany of examples of judicial activism at its finest. More to come…
