Quinn on Sotomayor's supporters: "All they care about is: she's got ovaries and she's Puerto Rican and therefore it's her turn"

Racism against the dominant European culture in this country? Bring the country together?
So, what these two are arguing for is one nation, ruled by wealthy white males at the behest of a single all powerful multinational corporation? Have I got that right? Because I think I'd prefer a republican form of democracy, where everyone has a voice.
The last thing this administration wants is individual freedom.
Defining people as part of a 'victimized' group or class is what leftists do. The president found someone from a downtrodden group, never mind that went to a charter school in NYC, an Ivy league college and law school, he found someone that for flourish or giving a pep talk emphasized her ethnicity and gender on more than just one or two occassions.
I could care less about race but what I am concerned about is people that identify themselves as such and such americans. That mentality breeds a racially based attitude that often leads to outright racism, where the getting even is more important than fairness or judging the quality of what's on the inside.
Here is a great example of how leftists are all about race and the real racists:

I can't do it.
Your lack of authentic thoughts proves just the opposite, your inability to rationally debate on a multitude of subjects or respond to ideas that challenge the worldview of leftists.
I say the leftists think first of race and class before anything else.
"Don't dodge guys, give evidence to the contrary or make a valid point. Don't just throw barbs and think that somehow makes you intellectual."
Have you ever before been hoisted by your own petard?
So, do you have any evidence that says the administration today is all about personal responsiblity and individual liberty?
As for personal responsibility, the best way to reduce health care costs is to encourage people to lead more active lives. Keeping yourself healthier in the first place, in other words. Those who choose to do so, who choose to be personally responsible, will likely find lower premiums under the public option.
I think the philosophy of most polticians is that they know what is best for us. To give us this kind of freedom probably would make them shudder at the prospect of loosing that power over us.
That challenge of individual freedom is not going to fly if this administration.
Yes, leftists are the REAL racists. Hence the noted Democrats George Allen, Jesse Helms, Kim Hendren, Trent Lott, Betty Brown, Steve King and Pat Buchanan.
"The last thing this administration wants is individual freedom." Please supply at least one supporting fact.
"Defining people as part of a 'victimized' group or class is what leftists do." What does this have to do with Sotomayor's nomination? If she had never served as a lawyer or judge, then this might be a valid argument -if- you could prove that race alone was responsible for her nomination. The fact is, even the Bar Association says that she is qualified for the job.
So, she graduated cum laude from the same school where our former President maintained a 'C' average, and she gets -less- credit for her achievement? Aside from race and sex, what are you basing this on?
"I could care less about race but..." See, just adding that last little word negates what went before. How it reads when you come to the 'but' is "I don't want to seem to care about race but..."
As for the clip, you are arguing from specifics to generalities, which is a logical fallacy.
As far as the present, his hope to nationalize health care flies in the face of individual liberty, cap and trade which is a national tax on the individual's ability to start a small business, his appointment of czars to control pay scales for certain individuals. Micromanagement of industry and desire to limit free speech via either the guise of a fairness doctrine or the new model of 'localism'.
Understanding marxism or socialism means the recognition of class/group conflict as a means of bringing about socio-political change, rich vs. poor, bourgeouis vs. proletariat, black vs. white,. These conflicts need to be continued to allow for remaking the political landscape. That's why the left can never allow a contrarian position or person to exist that proves them wrong. A black man becomes a sellout or uncle tom if they succeed without the action of the revolutionaries, so Justice Thomas continues to be vilified even if he has the respect of his peers. Estrada had to be stopped because he is a Honduran by birth, linked to the hispanics by democrat party members and deliberately kept from moving up by the left because he was hispanic, a conservative and outside the box the left could claim as their own.
Making crises arise is also important to bring about revolution, ie 'global warming crisis', financial crisis, health care crisis are all necessary parts for the people to believe that an action needs to take place, even if it is the wrong thing or uneccessary, at least something is being done.
As far as Sotamayer, others have also received te bar association's qualification but it mattered not. I contend that her presence on the bench will only allow for the victimization of race or class to be continued. Her judgement in the New Haven firemen case indicates that she will look for ways to support racial bias instead of justice and fairness.
And I do care little about race. I would rather do as ML King said and look to the heart of people instead of color. The video showed clearly that Boxer was making the racial issue to invalidate what the gentleman was arguing. He was rightly offended. I see the left viewing the classes/races as foremost in indentifying who a person is or what they should believe. She was ill-eqipped to handle his response because she found it unfathomable that she could be a racist. Condecension is racism, in other words, you couldn't be where you are without my special help because you must not be capable to make it on your own.
The video shows how insidious the racism of the left actually is, how dehumanizing and demeaning. That's the left's view of race and personal ability, not the conservative view like mine.
President Obama is -not- trying to nationalize health care, but to provide a public option for health insurance. Health care will continue to be provided by a mix of public and private hospitals, clinics, and practices.
You can say 'democrat socialists' all you want, but in fact it is called the Democratic Party. This is little better than playground name calling, and indicates a somewhat juvenile mentality.
Cap and trade is not a tax on starting a small business, but an attempt to control pollution. Limiting free speech via a 'fairness' doctrine? Cite one piece of legislation signed by our President that does any such thing, please.
Marxism is a political philosophy, and socialism is a economic policy. Learn the difference. Please.
So, Estrada was held back for being Latina and Sotomayor chosen because she was Latina? This makes so little sense it's barely worth speaking of, except to note the foolishness.
'Making crises arise'? You mean like the way Bush & Co. seized on 9-11 as an 'opportunity' to bring America ever closer to the fascist state that conservatives seem to be so eager for?
And, we're back to the Boxer clip. Congratulations. You found one five minute segment illustrating one person's unfortunate choice of argument. If you watch the clip, it was actually him who leaped to the conclusion she was racist because of the sources she was quoting. I'm not defending her choice of argument, only pointing out that everyone has a little racism in them. In the case of Quinn, talking about Sotomayor, it was blatant and disgusting.
The term 'DemocratIC Socialists of America' is an actual political party of which the president sought an endorsement when he first ran for state office from Chicago. Check out the 'New Party' update.
Remember that Obama then followed up with thethe DSA's endorsement above. He was required to submit a questionnaire to win this endorsement.
What say you of the deliberate efforts of Durbin and others to stall Estrada's confirmation? He and others were a risk to minority groups why?
Marxism, socialism, facism, communism are BOTH political and economic philosophies linked by their tenets and methodology of implementation.
I think 9-11 was a real crisis that required a rational response to the attack. Remember facism is related to economic and political power in the hand of an individual, instead of a people's committee. The steps that Bush took were not permanent, overseen by congress(sorry princess pelosi and rockafello you knew and agreed to this) and was not used to destroy an opposition party, but terrorists.
More than just a clip, Boxer's comments speak to the heart of liberals today, as massahs benificently managing a plantation.
These terrified guys are giving white men a bad name. We're not all a bunch of cowardly racists.
Here's some history on why the democrat party senators are only looking at race and gender, its what they have to do to continue to do what socialists do, create class/group discord.
And from this article: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/When-Democrats-derailed-a-GOP-Latino-nominee-46407227.html
If you really think that what Quinn does is great, then that says a lot about you, and it isn't positive.
Here's some history on why the democrat (sic) party senators are only looking at race and gender, its (sic) what they have to do to continue to do what socialists do, create class/group discord.
You've got things so backward it's hilarious. First of all, it's the Democratic (learn to spell it right so you don't look so foolish) senators that are actually mentioning Sotomayor's record, and not the oft-debunked blather about a portion of a speech that was wrenched out of context.
Second, anyone who purposefully conflates democrats with socialists probably doesn't know the denotation of either one, but just has a nebulous notion, fed to them by Rush and his ilk, that they go hand in hand. I'm a democrat, and I'm no socialist. And there are millions upon millions like me.
And finally, creating class/group discord is another special talent of your end of the spectrum. Have you forgotten, to name one case among many, Justice Alito's membership in an organization that tried to keep women and minorities out of Princeton? What is that, if not class/group discord?
Out of context? Maybe if only stated once, but it seemed to be a regular part of her speeches.
Take a basic poli-sci class and see the political connections in the ideals of today's democrat party and socialists. Power is vested in a limited group/committee/politburo that decides what is best for the proletariat. Nationalize this, czar that and wa-la, we're in a socialist utopia, not America,
As far as Alito, didn't he join that group after graduating and in protest of the removal the ROTC program(another democrat dream) at Princeton? Maybe it wasn't up to La Raza standards but he certainly wasn't active in all aspects of the group.
Does the government control every hospital, doctor, nurse and pharmacy? Again, not even close. What about farmers? Are they all working for the government? No. What about textiles? Nope. And on and on and on. President Obama is -not- trying to create a socialist utopia, and we are nowhere near being a socialist nation. The fact that you know big words like politburo and proletariat does not prove that you know what you are talking about, or that you have gained your point.
Keep calling it the democrat party. You are either too foolish or too ignorant to know better, and every time you say it, a little more of your slight credibility slips away.
And he was never a member of a group called 'The Race' and all that a group like that would stand for.
I don't speak espanol but it seems to be La-the? and Raza-race? on a hunch. Anyway, click to and check out the policies page especially as they relate to illegal immigrants.

I've pondered this for years, and nobody seems to have an answer.
