I am just curious . . . how many people who have responded to this story are not white?

Oh no! God forbid and minority who grew up poor will have a different side of view on certain laws. Oh I get it, you have to be old and white and have grown up rich….then it’s o.k.

Give me a break!

And I hate the way the talking heads are pronouncing her name – almost sounds like ’sodomizer’. Sorry, it does…

The other way they’ve gotten around that is by spelling “women” as “wymyn” and “girl” as “grrl.” You know, I think everyone feels to some degree like an outsider, just we all don’t take some aspect of ourselves and use it as both the explanation why we’re “different” and the reason to exist. She’s a “Latina,” so what? How is that essentially different from being Italian or Slavic or Polish? People like her never seem to realize that the first step in getting along with everyone in the sandbox is getting over your issues about yourself, and quit projecting them onto the people around you.

Not only has this candidate made racist statements, she has made sexist statements. Her now infamous statement made the comparison that a “Latina woman” is better than a “white male.” In other words, female better than male. Perhaps more telling is her selection of words. Notice that she does not use the much scorned F-word (female) but does use the M-word (male). This is a common practice of sexist speakers, writers, and editors. This derives from the feminist doctrine that using the F-word implies that women are animals (which they are by the way) so no one should ever use female in connection to female humans. The funny thing is that the same people who advocate this doctrine frequently use the M-word when describing men without seeing any sexism in their use of words. This may seem like a small point, but it provides further evidence of her intrinsic sexism, which may be what she means by drawing on her experiences.

When a significant part of the country finds every aspect of their lives more important and worthy of loyalty than the country itself, then why have a country?

We need to form a new country for people who feel loyal to what it stands for, and let the people who prefer to band with others with the same color skin, or gender, or sexual deviance form their own little countries from which they can pat themselves on the back, hate people who don’t look or act like them, and plunge into the dark ages they seem to prefer.

What it boils down to for me is this. If you won’t cover my back when there’s trouble, then I won’t be coerced to cover yours.

I believe she should be treated exactly as BHO treated Bush’s nominations.

This racist should never be allowed to be a judge.

When doves cry:

Sonia Sotomayor, Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, Nov. 4, 2002:

*”At that time in my life, as I was meeting all these new and very different people, taking reading classes, and relearning writing skills, Princeton was an alien land for me. I felt isolated from all I had ever known, and very unsure about how I would survive.
*“The differences from the larger society and the problems I faced as a Latina woman didn’t disappear when I left Princeton. I have spent my years since Princeton, while at law school and in my various professional jobs, not feeling completely a part of any of the worlds I inhabit.”

Michelle Obama’s Senior Thesis:

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before,” the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. “I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”
