REALITIES OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATS' "SENSITIVITY"
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE TRUE ROLE OF LIBERAL DEMOCRATS & THEIR MEDIA ALLIES IN RACIAL, ETHNIC, & GENDER POLITICS IN THE U.S.A.:
THE DOUBLE STANDARD IN AMERICAN POLITICS -- THE POLITICAL SANCTIMONY & HYPOCRISY OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY LIBERAL POLITICIANS & THEIR LEFTIST LAPDOGS IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA -- THE REALITY OF THE UTTER
CONTRMPT THAT LIBERAL DEMOCRATS HOLD FOR AFRICAN-AMERICAN BLACKS, LATINOS, ASIAN-AMERICANS, & OTHER
RACIAL & ETHNIC MINORITIES IN THE U.S.A. -- RACISM, THE PLIGHT OF URBAN FAMILIES, & THE MALIGNANCY OF THE
"NANNY STATE" -- THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY & LEFTWING LIBERALISM AS COMPRISING A POLITICAL FORCE THAT THRIVES
ON THE BACKS OF A DEPENDENT UNDERCLASS
FULL STORY:
Were Senator Robert Byrd (Democrat - West Virginia) ever to switch political parties and
become a Republican, the Liberal media reaction would be to suddenly
“discover” his past membership in the Ku Klux Klan, which would thereafter
be relentlessly reported until he was hounded from office in disgrace. Yet,
as a Democrat, his former participation in an organization that harassed,
oppressed, and, at times, murdered black Americans is known. But Byrd somehow
remains immune to that dubious association, and, to this day, he sits as one
of the most esteemed and venerated members of the United States Senate.
In the newly released book, Game Change, which has generated enormous
controversy, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat - Nevada) was quoted asserting
Barack Obama’s electoral advantages for being “light skinned” and capable of
speaking with “no negro dialect,” while former President Bill Clinton
disparagingly harkened back to a day in which Obama would have been
relegated to “getting us coffee.”
Had either been Republicans, calls for their censure (and, in Reid’s case,
immediate removal from office) would have been instantaneous from both sides
of the political aisle. As Democrats, however, their standing is in no more
peril than that of Robert Byrd. Democrats' sensibilities on issues of race are
only “inflamed” when doing so will advance their political agenda.
Otherwise, such matters are derided as cheap distractions from the important
issues of the day.
In truth, Democrats have never been the champions of racial justice that
they claim to be. The tasteless words from Reid and Clinton, and more
importantly, the unfettered willingness of the Democratic Party and its media
lapdogs to rally around them, cannot be construed in any other manner.
Appalling as this single episode is however, the entire scope of the
situation is far worse still. Liberal Democrats will patronizingly champion
minorities, if so doing might gain them political traction. Yet, they will
just as quickly invoke the lowest and most demeaning racial stereotypes and
degradations of minority opponents who pose an obstacle to their agenda.
Harry Reid’s appraisal of Barack Obama, abominable though it may be, pales
in comparison to the malicious and overt racism from Liberals directed at U.S.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and former National Security Advisor
Condoleezza Rice. Yet, then, as now, the remainder of the Democratic Party cabal
offered no complaints or apologies. Their real disdain for minorities, and
in fact, all Liberal “special interests” (other than as fodder for the
Liberal agenda) was on parade then and, as proven by their solidarity in
supporting Reid, remains so to this day.
The real truth of Liberal Democrats' contempt for the black community is much
more egregious still. The plight of urban families can be directly tied to
the malignancy of the “nanny state.” Rampant crime, drug addiction, and the
general hopelessness of the inner cities were maladies born not from
officially sanctioned segregation and discrimination (such things have been
outlawed for nearly half-a century), but from the entanglements of a bloated
government that thrives on the backs of a dependant underclass.
Likewise, the overt racism of a failed public school monopoly, itself a
product of political efforts of Democrata, promises to maintain the oppression
of inner-city blacks to a degree that Jim Crow ordinances could never have
accomplished. And, as long as the hapless recipients of this insidious poison
are willing to accept it, thereby enabling its sponsors, they and their
progeny can expect more of the same from the Liberal political machine.
Similar principles hold true for every other subgroup of the American
population that the Liberal Leftist establishment seeks to first isolate and then
court on the basis of its victim status. Many misguided women accept the
absurd notion that, as the Party of abortion, the Democrats are their
personal champions.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Women, even those who had been
faithful Liberals, but who became potential political liabilities to the
Clinton administration, can well attest their grim fate once their usefulness
to the Liberal cause is depleted. And, the moment a woman dares to advance
herself on the public scene by any means, other than toeing the Democrats' Liberal Party
line, the real regard held by Liberals towards femininity in general will be
revealed. The vicious, demeaning, and, by any Liberal standard, “sexist”
attacks against former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin stand as irrefutable
evidence.
Likewise for Asians, Hispanics, or any other segment of the population to
which the Left seeks to grant favored status. Hacked computer files revealed
that Miguel Estrada, as a Hispanic judicial nominee in the Bush
administration, faced a coordinated Democratic Party attack specifically based on
his ethnicity. Yet, did the Democrats seek to amend or correct their overt
bigotry in any way? On the contrary, they merely stuck to their despicable
plan, while caterwauling about the wrongful means of gathering the
information.
Liberal sanctimony on the issues of race, gender, national origin, and
religion is, and has always been, invoked on an extremely selective basis,
surgically targeted for the sole purpose of advancing Liberalism. And, as
such, it is the epitome of hypocrisy. Ultimately, the fate of its
beneficiaries and/or victims is of no consequence to those at the pinnacle
of Liberal power.
It is sad that, all too often, the Conservative opposition has allowed the
Left to play such games with impunity. It is sadder still that those groups
pandered to by the Left will not see the current situation for what it is,
and will not recognize the real purpose why, as ostensible “special
interests,” they are maintained in that status. Thus, they do their utmost to
ensure that their marginalization from the bounty and promise of America
will likely continue in perpetuity.
