Dems Pander with Impunity

A letter to the Boston Globe; no introduction or background is necessary:

Editor,

I am not surprised that a Boston Globe "news" story has adopted the liberal extremists' propaganda that Republican opposition to Sonia Sotomayor could "alienate Hispanic voters (Committee endorses Sotomayor bid, July 29, A6)".

However, it is the liberal extremists and Democrats who are guilty of the ugly stereotype and the vile suggestion that all Hispanics vote monolithically . . . and only skin deep. Good grief, Cuban-Americans disagree on normalizing relations with Cuba yet to hear the liberals tell it these Latinos are united in supporting a Puerto Rican-American for the Supreme Court? Hondurans are split on who their President is but Honduran-Americans are 100% behind the Puerto Rican-American for the Court? That liberal extremists and Democrats cannot contemplate a pro-life Hispanic, or a pro-gun rights Hispanic, or a pro-education Hispanic, or a pro-small government Hispanic says it all about how liberals and Democrats are disrespectful of the diverse Hispanic vote.

I disagree with the liberals and Democrats' insinuation that Hispanics are ugly ethnicists though President Obama is proving that, apparently, Democrats can pander and demagogue on ethnicity with impunity.

Maybe a Republican President nominating a Latino for the Court and expecting monolithic Latino support is what's needed for the liberals and Democrats to see the gravity of their insult. (End of letter.)

Obama still Messiah in Boston

My last two letters to the editor of the Boston Globe:

1. Under the caption, "Obama wins with 58-40 vote?!":

Editor,

The liberal delusionalism that is the Boston Globe could not be better illustrated than by your asinine claim that "President Obama scored a major victory yesterday . . . when the Senate voted to halt production of the Air Force's top fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor . . . . (President wins on defense spending, July 22, A1)"

The vote in the Senate was a measely 58 - 40. That's a "major victory" when the President is backed by a filibuster-proof Senate?

The U.S. Senate voted for war in Iraq by 77 - 23 yet the liberal extremism that is the Boston Globe routinely allows that the war in Iraq was "Bush's war of choice".

I'm not a delusional liberal extremist so you can see how I am confused by the Obama "major victory" proclamation. (End of first letter.)

2. Under the caption, "Black Cops Worst Racial Profilers - So Says Boston Globe":

Editor,

Ms. Carol Rose, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, should seriously reconsider her desire for more detailed data on Massachusetts traffic stops if she is secretly hoping it's going to be an indictment of white police officers as her column so grotesquely suggests (Racial profiling is alive and well, July 22, A11).

Excerpting from the Boston Globe's July 2003 story on its own study on the Boston Police Department, "When police departments are accused of racial profiling, white officers are generally the ones facing scrutiny. But a Boston Globe analysis of 20,000 Boston police tickets and warnings tells a different story: Minority officers here are at least as tough as whites on minority drivers, and sometimes tougher . . . minority officers were less lenient overall, issuing fewer warnings to all drivers . . . and the racial gap was wider, with minority officers ticketing 43 percent of whites and 54 percent of minorities at the same speeds, the Globe found . . . further, the records show that black officers were toughest on Latino drivers, ticketing 67 percent of Latinos, but just 47 percent of blacks (Minority officers are stricter on minorities, July 20, 2003)."

Knowing that Latinos could be white or black, one has to wonder at what rate black Boston police officers were ticketing white Latinos in order to drive the percentage to 67 percent for all Latinos if they are only ticketing 47 percent of all blacks.

I condemn racism by all racists, no matter their color. An honest conversation on race-relations has to acknowledge racists are of all colors. In a "nation of cowards" on the issue of race-relations, I hope we eventually get the honest conversation we deserve. (End of second letter.)

President Obama step on his own lead last night when instead of trying to defend and sell his health care disaster, he criticized Cambridge, MA law enforcement without availing himself of the facts of a recent arrest there. The President failed in his first opportunity to improve race-relations in this Country. The President failed miserably.

Gracious Winners?

I found this ridiculous sentence in an Associated Press piece in today's Boston Globe reporting that 4 American troops were killed in Afghanistan on Monday, July 20, 2009, "U.S. commanders had predicted a bloody summer after President Barack Obama ordered 21,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan in a bid to turn the tide against a resurgent Taliban and shift the focus on the global war against Islamic extremism from Iraq."

Cronkite's Legacy

Walter Cronkite passed away this weekend; he leaves no legacy.

My letter to the editor of the Boston Globe, which chose to include quotes from Katie Kouric (CBS News; embarrassed by Dan Rather agreeing to be Sen. John F. Kerry's hitman by airing a slip-shod hit piece on President Bush during the 2004 election), Brian Williams (NBC News; which doesn't know if the United States is still meddling in a civil war in Iraq), Don Hewitt (CBS News; see previous notation), Presidents Obama and Clinton, and America's favorite liberal, George Clooney, in an appreciation; it needs no introduction:

Editor,

It was at the same time the mother of all irony and shamelessness to include quotes of today's liberal shills, who masquerade as "news" anchors and "news" executives, in an obituary praising Walter Cronkite for his objectivity and professionalism (News legend Cronkite dies at 92, July 18, A1). (End of letter.)

Apologies for another short post, summer baseball, basketball, softball and hockey (yes, hockey!), has me running from work to a field, court or rink so not much time for an involved post.

al Fedaban-Americans Live

"CIA DIRECTOR Leon Panetta did the right thing last month upon learning that the CIA had a scheme on the drawing board for sending assassination teams into other countries to kill Al Qaeda leaders," so opens the lead editorial in today's Boston Globe.

I called for Panetta's resignation some time ago, at least as early as May 25, but I do think sooner, and today's headlines underscore the point.

I thought with the election of President Obama that the al Fedaban-Americans would disappear from the American landscape for four years.

It pains me, but I was wrong.

Now a Valuable Program!

The only set-up needed for the following letter to the editor of the Boston Globe is to know the entire article was 910 words long:

Editor,

It took me until 890 words into yet another hate-filled Bush attack piece (Report questions value of wiretaps, July 11, A1) by delusional leftist New York Times "reporters" to get to the punchline:

"In 2008, Congress restructured the (valueless?) federal surveillance law, the broadest such overhaul in three decades. The inspectors general’s report said the new law 'gave the government even broader authority to intercept international communications' than did the original program."

I might add that the inspectors general's report was authored by five inspectors general who survived the Obama-Biden administrations politically motivated firings of other federal inspectors general. (End of letter.)

Asinine Quote of the Day, I mean, Century

In a column in today's Wall Street Journal, "War in Afghanistan Is Being Fought on Two Fronts", I found this idiotic quote from Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, commenting on the war in Afghanistan:

"It's not about how many enemy we kill; it's about how many civilians we protect."

When is Not a Coup a Coup?

The Obama-Biden Administration, Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, Cuba's Raul Castro and other supporters of left-wing regimes are united in their support for ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

The Congress of Honduras and the Honduran Supreme Court both agreed Zelaya was violating the Honduran Constitution and they ordered the military to remove Zelaya.

What happened in Honduras was not a military coup no matter what the left-wing regimes of the world, the Obama-Biden Administration, and their friends in the liberally extreme US media say. Not a coup.

To better make my point to the liberal extremists in America, imagine the United States Supreme Court ruling and the United States Congress voting (impeachment and conviction) to remove President George Bush from power and Bush claiming he was still President.
