BOY: “Mom?…Dad?…This is Sonia…my new girlfriend….She’s from Puerto RICO..She’s my soulmate…”

FATHER:”Puto Wha?”

BOY:”PWEAIR-TA Rico..DAD! PLEASE! Latinas are very SENSITIVE about how you use THEIR language!

Pretty much yer Senate hearings in a nutshell…some kinda “Joy Luck Club”/Ben Affleck schmaltz…

Couple of other things:

1)DC Comics will soon be announcing the introduction of a new gay sidekick for their “Wonder Woman” character, “Affirmation Man” based on the repartee between Al Franken and Sonia Sotomayer during the Senate hearings.

2) Since in society, for the most part of history, “race” was, (and still is in the old ways), determined by the parent’s choice,(the foundations of racism, yes?) and the genetics of such, and “gender” can be pretty much allocated to the testtubes these days…Why does the US see anything progressive about nominating someone who’s basically “livin’ in the past” in her thinkin’? Go figure.

“[recognizing] the ‘historic aspect’ of her nomination.”

This is simply an indirect way of saying that white people are scum bags and must surrender their rights to racist minorities. It’s all about Sonia Sotomayor being a person of color. Just try and imagine if a judicial candidate had claimed that their “wise whiteness” would be useful in making decisions from the bench. Would they have been even nominated? Of course not! The pervasive anti-white mindset of our postmodernist culture truly threatens the very foundations of Western Civilization. I am increasingly fearful that a vile David Duke white racist type will soon take full advantage of the worsening situation. A “multicultural” fascist dictatorship is unlikely. No, the odds are much higher that it will be one premised on “white power.”

Jul 20, 2009 - 4:03 am 3. JHM dba ''Neocomradologist":

Neocomrade Rear-Colonel A. W. R. Hawkins is upset with the rest of his litter: how few of the sweet puppies of Endarkenment rose to the occasion and barked at Judge Sotomayor’s caravan properly!

“One would need a heart of stone not to laugh” [0] at a militant extremist who seriously expects that everybody political will see a pink sky with albino polka-dots. Who can take The Chaire of Steele™ and the Fabulous Flyboy of Sedona™ as template manufacturers to the Party of Goldwater and Atwater, “Steele and McCain made it clear that that template had been set and that template called for kid gloves and carefully crafted questions that would focus more on not offending Hispanics than searching out the truth over something as inconsequential as a Supreme Court nominee’s judicial philosophy.”

How do they handle such huma … such *creaturely* events up on Planet Hawkin’s?, I wonder.

Maybe the local equivalent of a Senate Judiciary Committee simply engages in jury nullification whenever presented with an uncongenial creature of the law. That would do the trick, I guess, provided that the general population of Hawkimbeasts had become accustomed to it over the course of a degeneration or two. Or maybe more general arrangements have been made at Hawkin’opolis to revive or emulate the Constitution of Ancient Poland: one can pleasantly imagine that on Planet Hawkin’s every single critter (and its brother-in-law too) has but to shout ‘Rulalaw’ [1] to quash any proceedin’s of the Wicked State™ whatsoever.

But come, there will always be time enough to mock mental cripples, and in any case, the good colonel does not sufficiently exist in his own public person to make the present keyboard entirely confident that it is not in fact laughing from Miss Rand of Petersburg and Mr. Nozick of H*rv*rd when it laughs from the specimen labeled “A. W. R. Hawkins.”

Less unseriously, Heath-Paling’s bulldog here is not bein’ very charitable to the general run of curs and neocurs. A less scattered brain [2] might have noticed “something as inconsequential as” the fact that the Party of Grant and Hoover (&c. &c.) had no chance of doin’ down Señora de Sotomayor in the first place. Also, that the fiendess, once installed, will not make a dime’s worth of difference as to what is proclaimed on behalf of the Five of Nine Club. Neocomrades J. Sidney McCain and M. Stephen Steele may not have covered themselves with _la gloire_ templatewise, but there is quite a lot to be said for not carryin’ on as if every single ditch into which militant extremism blindly stumbles must be defended as if it was the very last ditch of all. “The paths of Hawkin’s lead but to the elephant graveyard.” So to speak. [3]

Anyway, neopuppies cannot *all* be expected to be berserker pit bulls like the rear-colonel. Some of ’em are sadly lackin’ in the hormones required. (A mere shortage of Big Management Party hormones in the bloodstream, however, is by no means to be confused with the positive presence of brains.)

Happy days.

[1] That inscrutable noise is, of course, my spelling of the High Hawkin’site noise equivalent to the ‘_veto_’ and “_nie pozwalam_” of good Queen Wolność’s golden days. See http://tinyurl.com/kj783w .

[2] If the student wants to pick on the mentally challenged for herself, she might take a look at the neocolonel’s paragraph that runs from “To be certain everybody understood” down through “a disservice both to the law and society.” Connoisseurs of _le Goldwater-atwaterisme en Amérique_ will relish the blimpish bluster about Neocomrade Senator R. Martínez: why, the poor boob is “so far out of touch with reality” that he cannot even deduce the monster’s judicial opinions from “the text of [her] Berkeley speech”! To be sure, neither could Albert Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton. Or even “Their Ántonino,” Neocomrade Associate Justice Á. della Scalia, himself.

[3] Perhaps that is what galls the poor critter worst, that its wimpy neocomrades were afraid to dynamite the Sotomayor Express out of fear of losin’ even more votes than usual from blacks and tans. Neocomrade Rear-Col. A. W. R. Hawkins sets a very low hurdle for himself, but even so, complete frankness about the electoral demographics appears to be ruled out, which leaves a neocomrade havin’ to sputter baloney about Rulalaw instead of ever addressin’ his Party’s real problem.

That plan might work along “wink, wink, nod, nod” lines, except that in this case it is questionable whether the rest of the litter can make out what they are winkin’ and noddin’ assent to.

For that matter, examine the good colonel’s stirrin’ and hormone-felt peroration — “Where is the courage to be free?” and so forth. Obviously the critter is extremely upset that Messers J. Sessions and L. Graham (&c. &c.) did not do somethin’ or another. Yet if you can make out from the loud but obscure Hawkin’site barkin’ exactly what it was that the Senatorial paladins of Endarkenment shoulda done but didna do, — well, “I will hand you my cap and you may call me a fool,” as the Rev. Luther put it once.

Jul 20, 2009 - 4:26 am 4. "progressive"watch:

Steele has turned out to be another McCain in blackwash.

Rather than no evidence,there is evidence stacked on evidence that Sotomayor is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court. Those senators who say there is no evidence condemn themselves. If Sotomayor had been qualified,Barack Obama wouldn’t have nominated her. He nominted her because she has the same disqualification for the U.S. Supreme Court as he has for the U.S. Presidency.

Jul 20, 2009 - 5:12 am 5. pelaut:

You say the Democrats don’t have the courage to be free?
Why ask? They don’t want it. They want the cocoon. They want soft slavery.

Freedom never occurs to a progressive except as, when in position to do so, they conflate it with greed, gluttony, bacchanal, satiation and the ecstasy of scattering the resources of others.

To a Liberal (in today’s meaning of the word) freedom is not sovereign independence of the individiual, it is license.

Jul 20, 2009 - 5:41 am 6. vivo:

“that Sotomayor also assured the Berkeley crowd that “our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions,” right after telling them she concurred with the position that “there is no objective stance” regarding judgments.”

This is true with any gender or color. People can’t stand to hear the truth?

3. “progressive”watch:

“Rather than no evidence,there is evidence stacked on evidence that Sotomayor is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court.”

Following your logic, Scalia, Thomas and Alito are unfit. Think about it.

Jul 20, 2009 - 5:54 am 7. MarkD:

This is, after all, the gutless party you are describing. I am disappointed, but hardly surprised.

Jul 20, 2009 - 6:09 am 8. steve:

What Republicans need to do is increase their share of the WHITE vote.

The rest will fall into place. They will win every national election if they do. Many Hispanics could easily be brought into the fold without racial pandering.

Sotomayor is a racist. If a politician lacks the verbal skills that are needed to explain this simple fact then they should be fired.

You can go after the NEEDED increase in the blue collar and middle class white vote by pledging that you will END once and for all DISCRIMINATION against them and their families by government, UNIONS, academia, corporate America or anybody else.

It is worth fighting the people who oppose this concept. Those who do oppose this aren’t even worth getting their vote.

It can done by Executive Order if the cowards in Congerss are too timid. The Supreme Court and their lawlessness be damned. A 10 year old can read and understand what the 14th amendment says.

The president has an OBLIGATION to uphold the Constitution. Well do it!

By doing it we can get back the white union vote, blue collar workers and a lot of the middle class.

Jul 20, 2009 - 7:15 am 9. blotto:

vivo: While sometimes you try to appear as erudite, many times you come off as simply confusing. Cite any references that demonstrate that Alito, Scalia and Thomas are similarly unqualified.

So you are also saying that the white jurists heretofore who sat on the SCOTUS, made bad decisions–Brown, Bakke, Gratz and Grutter, Roe, et al??? Good we have agreement then. These and all the other liberal do-goodie decisions were bad.

And if you agree that a latina makes better decisions than a white man, how come you are not enraged that the Dem party is so full of incompetent white men? How about going after Shumer, Kennedy, Durbin, Kerry et al and ask them to step down and allow a wise latina to take over their seats????

Jul 20, 2009 - 7:59 am 10. john m e:

I am a(equal emphasis on both words)a white man. I believe in a higher power,and I am not at all sure that should be the rallying cry,that will
result in a return to the family values and constitutionally based governance of the past.However, I have decided to proudly state more frequently these two fundamental facts.I am in many ways humble but I will no longer be silent nor timid in any place or time when told that others are more noble or more ethnically deserving. Equal teatment under the law is not a fad to be shaped by the bigots in the media or mendacious minions of Obama and the ACORN marching band…. when you tell me you want to behead me or that you will change my nation into third world country and do with me what you wish, I will challenge…No! I will join with those who would destroy you.

Jul 20, 2009 - 8:00 am 11. savage24:

Old Joe McCarthy was right when he called one of the Senators that was bugging him, a medical wonder, no brains, no guts and no backbone.That describes the whole damned Senate today. Re-election means more then the country.They have shredded the Constitution in that endeaver.

Jul 20, 2009 - 8:07 am 12. tommyd:

And the gutless GOP is wondering why conservatives are leaving the fold?

Many are ready for a third party, and yes I know that will divide the vote on the right but you know what?
That’s too damn bad.
If the gop wasn’t so stuck up their own butt this would not have happened.
I can only speak for myself but I will never vote for the lesser of two evils as long as there is an independent choice I support.
So all you GOP’ers say what you want, cry and wring your hands on how this will hand the left everything,
I say Screw you.
You have had more than enough chances over the past 2 decades to do the right thing but you have proven yourselves to be spineless wimps.
You are no better than the left who has had decades to make good on all the promises they have been mouthing for the last 40 years. They couldn’t then and they can’t now. It is all just B.S. for the benefit of buying votes.
Nominating John McCain, what a crock of you know what.. What you gonna do next time, nominate his idiot daughter ??
I guess whatever it takes to protect the status quo isn’t that right…

You bunch of F’n Pu@@ies.

Jul 20, 2009 - 8:20 am 13. Jeff:

It’s all simply becoming a joke. Our leaders on the Republican side lack the courage Hawkins’ describes and we’re going to end with Sotomayor on the court and Democrats’ will be able to boast of another, enduring victory.

Jul 20, 2009 - 8:58 am 14. Bonner:

Why is all the courage on the side of those who wish to destroy instead of build-up? Why are we (as Republicans) afraid to stand up for the truth? I am calling Senator Cornyn’s office today to urge him to oppose Sotomayor with all he’s got. We simply cannot lie down here.

David @ 2:

A “multicultural” fascist dictatorship is unlikely. No, the odds are much higher that it will be one premised on “white power.”

Dude, look up the definition of fascism. We are fully there. State ownership of the main means of production is fascism. We just have not gotten to the totalitarian part yet. I expect THAT bill to come due before the end of the year.

JHM @ 3: Clean up on aisle 3, please!

As for the “Wise Latina”. I want to meet here ‘cuz that would mean I could have finally met one! [/snark off]

She is particularly unqualified as her 4/6 record should show BUT she IS an AA and EEO construct who rose to her position on the backs of others.

The US is getting what they wished for.

Jul 20, 2009 - 9:07 am 16. tanstaafl:

Republican National Committee Chair Michael Steele called on Republicans to tread softly on the Sotomayor nomination by “[recognizing] the ‘historic aspect’ of her nomination.”

That’s really too bad, Mr. Steele. I won’t join (or re-join) any political party that hasn’t transcended identity politics.

If it is true (and I don’t know with certainty) that some Republican Senators whose states have large Hispanic populations went more easily on Sotomayor or will even vote for her as a function of that (Hispanic) contingent, then the Republic and its founding principles continue on in the death spiral.

Jul 20, 2009 - 9:42 am 17. Mainstream America:

To my dear friend JHM….

Being that your friends are screwing up the educational system, I was not able to understand all of the multisyllabic swill you were spewing. I’ll try putting it through a google translator that translates egomaniacal self indulgence into english us layman can understand. No doubt you must be from the Northeast…

Jul 20, 2009 - 9:46 am 18. HLH:

Why don’t Republicans simply throw in the towel? Honestly. What’s the point of continuing to pretend they’re something markedly different from Democrats if they plan on giving the Dems a free pass on every leftist agenda item and leftist nominee that stands before the Senate? The behavior of Republican Senators on this one is far more troubling than that of the Democrats, for we expect the Democrats to be cowardly and indifferent to the Constitution.

Jul 20, 2009 - 10:20 am 19. HLH:

To “progressive” watch: Great post, with one exception. I don’t even think Steele rises to the level of the mediocre McCain. Steele is proving to be the biggest mistake made by Republicans since allowing Bob Dole to run for president in ‘96.

Jul 20, 2009 - 10:24 am 20. carol:

so predictible

McCain was a war hero, not presidental material…Steele is a weiner. I’d like to see Watts of Oklahoma take a more active role. The Republicans need someone with balls to take the lead. Instead they get mush . “historic” my sweet hindend. we’re going to “historic” ourselves into marxism. It would be “historic” to see a politician elected that actually answers to the people that put them there…

Yeah, “Soso”mayor is historic, she’s also a blatant racist and will rule that way..just wait and see.

We will not vote Republican this time unless they come up with some really strong, and we will not vote Democrat, unless God comes down and runs as a Democrat..even then we would question him..

Jul 20, 2009 - 11:02 am 21. Bob:

Elections have consequences. There are 60 Dems in the Senate and Sotomayor would have been confirmed regardless of the actual script of last week’s dog and pony show. She’s shown herself not to be particularly bright or articulate. What more could Republicans ask for from BHO?

Jul 20, 2009 - 11:04 am 22. tanstaafl:

He nominted her because she has the same disqualification for the U.S. Supreme Court as he has for the U.S. Presidency.

Obama & Sotomayor both have gotten a leg up & some doors opened from affirmative action.

Whereas I’d advocate getting into positions of prominence & leadership in America on the basis of personal achievement & acumen, doing the hard slog.

So then our highest offices of government won’t be saddled with mediocre minds and mediocre thinking.

It’s not for nothing that some other Persons of ColoUr like Clarence Thomas & Thomas Sowell, Ken Hamblin & Larry Elder(I believe) have no use for AA.

Jul 20, 2009 - 11:17 am 23. karlinsync:

The Republicans are a bunch of softball throwers. That’s why I am now an Independent. Giving effort and money to Republicans is not any better than burning it. Activist judges on the Supreme Court is the quickest way to dumb down America.

BLOTTO,
i have been trying to get rid of Kerry, Kennedy, and Frank for all my voting life. When a Senator runs opposed by aBlack Businessman and gets 82% of the vote there’s not a hell of a lot I can do about that. as for kerry, I believe that any sitting member of Congress or the House should not be allowed to seek higher office unless they resign. These people are on the campaign for 2 years now. It doesn’t matter that they go to vote, they are nothing more then lame ducks since writing any legislation or debating same requires more time then a candidate for POTUS can commit to. Went through the same thing with Romney al though it was for a shorter time. But I don’t think this is election reform we will ever see.

Jul 20, 2009 - 12:23 pm 25. William:

I expected nothing more from the Republicans on this anyway. I was more shocked that Senator Sessions acted like he was gonna fight it than I was that the rest of the Hee-Haw gang folded to keep the Hispanics happy. They simply fail to understand that lacking a backbone is not going to attract any people group to the Republican Party, Hispanic or otherwise.

Jul 20, 2009 - 1:23 pm 26. William:

Dear “Karklinsync” – Bravo on your post. I too refuse to give money to the party that still somehow calls themselves Republican. Giving money to them is but to indirectly give it to the Democrats.

Jul 20, 2009 - 1:24 pm 27. The Shadow:

Gotta say yer buglin’ some serious “Coney Island of the Mind” blog with yer postin’ there at #3…..or maybe Ezra Pound. Bugle hard, dude.

(I considered “Commie Island of the Mind” ,which is pretty good description of modern China, (and apt for US agenda these days, peelin’ away a little off the skin.), if one considers all the deals and money they are making with the American Caucuses and Companies to sort of just sit back and watch this show, (please explain to me why the kids at the basketball camp at the school I am working at in China all wear “Lakers” jerseys instead of their own CBA teams? Is it because I think Kobe is a scumbag?) …but I thought it too cheesy….plus I thought of “The Ferlinghetti of the Serengeti” tag for BHO, but the comparison of vocabulary, prose and intent isn’t really merited…too AA, in my opinion.)

Jul 20, 2009 - 4:37 pm 29. moon slayer:

Maybe letting Sotomayor go was a good move…there are others that will retire that will be of importance to Republicas.

She’s merely replacing what is already there, Justice David H. Souter, a member of the Supreme Court’s liberal wing..so, no foul. There will be more important appointments that will come up.

This way the “latino” vote is happy.

A pitiful state of affairs when we vote nationality , color or religion and not the person.

As to Miss Hate Speech making it to the Supremes, I look at it in a different way.

I see stubby Latina fingers feeding the constitution into a heavy duty paper shredder.

And rather than seeing America singing, I see America bleeding. And rather than seeing old glory in all her glory, I see a fat dyed in the wool socialista stomping a la Bill Ayers on a dream.

The fall of Wake Island was probably the low point of the United States. Up till now. The rise of Sonia Socialista Mayor, I think, tops it.

We’ve hit rock bottom folks. Which is why militias will forming all across the country, starting in the west and spreading their message of freedom and liberty like wildfire.

Looks like we have to re-fight the American Revolution.

At the same time, some possibly amazing things will be happening on the university level. An uprising of patriotic youth will be going underground. Because they believe that the voice of freedom and liberty must be heard.

Someday, once again, we will hear America singing.

This Admin. kinda reminds me of the time I saw a bunch of black kids break into my old yellow Chevrolet one night in Brooklyn. (I saw them breaking into a car down the street coming home from a party and I pointed it out to my friend …I just didn’t realize it was my car until it was too late. I was pretty toasted and my friend, (she), didn’t want trouble.) Anyways the Dems are gonna leave this country with about as much as those black kids left me with that night…They busted my window and stole everything out of my car (even the pennies in the drink holders), but left behind my Bob Dylan tapes.

“Cite any references that demonstrate that Alito, Scalia and Thomas are similarly unqualified.”

What I meant is that “progressive watch” talks about inexistent evidence.

I don’t think a Latina makes better decisions than a white, black, yellow, red or green man, or viceversa. People have picked this phrase because they have nothing to go on. Nobody makes better decisions as an ethnic group. ONE individual may make better decisions than another one, you just have to be specific about it.

Here it is a couple of days after the Sotomayor hearings and on the evening news there was some very dramatic video. A couple of white guys were making a scary rescue of some trapped people in a burning SUV. I think they were police or firemen . I didn’t see the video under ideal conditions but it was apparently in Milwaukee .
I didn’t see Sonia around making wise decisions.

People keep using the word “Republican” like there really is a party by such a name. I keep getting their surveys seeking donations. They ask 20 questions about conservative causes which they will support “if only you will make a donation.

The fact is that it is just a rues. The leftist elites use the Republican party as a front. They want people to believed they are supporting traditional values when all along they are fine with the Stalanization of America. Am I crazy? Count the Republican votes for Sotomayor. Why not put a real jackass on the Court? Look at how they treat Palin. Watch them cave on every major Democratic initiative. Romney’s health care plan in MA is a massive failure.

Of course everything in Massachusetts is a massive failure. The “Big Dig” $15 Billion and counting. Harvard once a christian school for training pastors now a breeding ground for the criminal left. The social services department buys cars for the unemployable so they can drive to work if they feel like it. And if they don’t, just keep the car. In MA they have gotten rid of pollution and the jobs that once made it one of the finest places in the country to live. That was long ago when real Republicans ran the state.
