How can anyone trust a man who denies half his heritage?

The election of Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States and the all-but-inevitable confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor as the next member of the United States Supreme Court is reflective of a changing America.
Those on the Left relish these “achievements”—direct and telling evidence of a society and a nation that has “wisely” moved beyond the European-dominated culture upon which the United States was conceived, its institutions based, and for which its Founding Fathers presumptively assumed would continue in perpetuity.

America is geting changed, all right:*short*-changed!
Its amazing how my viewpoints have changed over time. I’m tired of affirmative action and all other sorts of reverse discrimination.
just to remind everyone, this Sotomayer has SPANISH blood in her.....
and Tiger Woods has Asian blood....and bama has Europeon blood in him....
this worshiping of "diversity" is just another pipe dream....
it will bring more violence...more rape...more murder...more riots....more mayhem....
because America has been blessed by being settled and organized and governed for the most part by peaceloving citizens, who believed in hard work to get ahead, of marriage, of rasing your children, of serving in the military, not because of the money and benefits but because you're country NEEDED you....America was settled and organized and governed mostly by good Christian men who believed in good values and good morals...
and now we think that allowing that great citizenry to diminish is somehow a good thing?....
not to disparage the Hispanic population or the black population but at this time there is so much dysfunction and crime in those groups, how can they govern?....how can they lead?...the answer is they can't.....
the fancy schmancy limosine liberals will rue the day that the citizenry leaves the European AngloSaxon value system that built America behind...
do they really think they can live behind their gated communities forever?....do they really think their children or grandchildren will never be affected?
God help America....
of course a solution would be for each of us to have more children, now....if we’re too old, then to encourage younger people to have lots of children, and be prepared to support them financially......emotionally..spiritually..
I’m willing to do my part, but gotta find one worth procreating with first. HAHAHA.
You got that right! He is a load of peon blood!
I think we all are tired. I’m tired of the left and their constant elevation of what is modern mythology in justification of their politics.
Is every article you post on your blog to be simultaneously posted to Free Republic? A little presumptuous, isn’t it?
Miguel Angel Estrada Castañeda (born September 25, 1961) is an American lawyer who became embroiled in controversy following his 2001 nomination by President George W. Bush to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Unable to block Estrada’s nomination in the Senate Judiciary Committee after the Republican Party took control of the Senate in 2003, Senate Democrats used a filibuster to prevent his nomination from being given a final confirmation vote on the full Senate floor. Although a filibuster had been used in 1968 to prevent the elevation of Associate Justice Abe Fortas to the position of Chief Justice of the United States, Estrada’s filibuster was the first ever to be used against a Circuit Court of Appeals nominee.
Estrada was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. After his parents divorced, he immigrated to the United States to join his mother when he was 17, arriving with a limited command of English.
He graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelor’s degree from Columbia in 1983. He received a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree magna cum laude in 1986 from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, Estrada served as a law clerk to Judge Amalya Lyle Kearse of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then clerked for Justice Anthony M. Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court during his first year on the Court in 1988. One of his fellow clerks during that year was Peter Keisler, another controversial conservative nominee to the D.C. Circuit whose nomination was never processed by the Senate Democrats during the 110th Congress.
From 1990 until 1992, Estrada served as Assistant U.S. Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Appellate Section, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York. In 1992, he joined the United States Department of Justice as an Assistant to the Solicitor General for the Clinton Administration. In those capacities, Estrada represented the government in numerous jury trials and in many appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Before joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office, he practiced law in New York with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.
A bipartisan group of former Solicitors General wrote a letter objecting to the Democrats’ demand for memos that Estrada had written while he was with the office. While not addressing past instances where such memos had previously been released,[1] the letter argued release of prior memos by government employees to the public would endanger the Solicitor General Office’s ability to provide confidential legal advice to the Executive Branch. Some observers claimed that the Democrats also wished to avoid giving Bush points with Hispanic voters. The Democrats hotly contested this; however, internal memos to Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin mention liberal interest groups’ desire to keep Estrada off the court because his Latino heritage made him “especially dangerous” as a potential future Supreme Court nominee.

But according to the the MSM today, Obama’s pick of Sotomayor was “historic”. Ofcourse the MSM and dems aren’t racists for spending 99% of their energies pointing out and writing about the fact she is latino, even though she was born in the United States.
While it is true that the majority of Hispanics and blacks vote Democrat, the reason for that is based on the success of Democrats in controlling urban political machines going back to the days of the Potato Famine. Conservatives have been slow in making inroads among almost all newly arrived Americans in the past as well as the present, again going back to the Potato Famine.
The failure of conservatives to do so is linked in part to the abysmal failure of the Republican Party to serve as an effective advocate for conservative political ideology in those geographical and sociological areas.
Actually, it is the Left who is more steeped in continental philosophy, wanting to create a secular, European-style culture and welfare state. The "right" is steeped specifically in the Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment and (among the religiously oriented) the second and third Great Awakenings. Lets be more specific than "European" hear as it is the left that is indeed more continental in its thinking than the right.
The Italians started coming a good 40-50 years after the Irish, and it was usually Irish Americans who were the most hostile toward Italians. The two groups didn't even start associating with eachother (and producing ugly children) until after WWII. ;-)
I like it .. Hope and Change? ... well we are now HOPE-less and SHORT-Changed.
Diversity is simply the Left’s reorganization of segretation era racial inequality complete with new race hate doctrines to justify that inequality.
Being the givers and deniers of survival based on unconstitutional race preferences offered to a majority race group or combination of groups and targeting a less than deserving minority, puts liberals in a permanently dominate position of power. This is no different that what they designed in a period called segregation as liberals’ race doctrines keeps the tribes from integrating with one another under the guise of separate, superior and inferior human natures.
