Agreed, it is very off-putting how much these Democrats lately all have in common the fact that either they didn’t grow up in America, or didn’t grow up loving America, and didn’t feel like they particularly fit in in America. It really makes me question their patriotism and their qualifications for administering this country.
Barack didn’t grow up in America
Michelle for the first time is proud of this country because Obama was nominated for President
Geithner didn’t grow up in America
Sotomayor doesn’t feel like she fit in

I know there must be more, but that’s just off the top of my head. At least back in the old days some Democrats were WWII vets and true red-blooded Americans and you could tell that they genuinely loved this country and wanted to change it to improve it in their own eyes. These guys hate America and want to change it out of spite.

Steve, yes, you’re right. The other person I wish more people would bring up now, is Linda Chavez She was Latina and a woman. She had great credentials and a bipartisan personal history. But the democrats went after her viciously and sank her nomination to Labor Sec’y — many of the same democrats who have few objections to Obama’s roster of tax cheats and compulsive spenders.

bronzeprofessor,
Your achievements are commendable. But for me, the Second Amendment being limited to the confines of when it was written is an invalid argument. Some opponents have suggested that the Second only applies to when there were militias and no standing army. And therefore a person of today should only have a muzzle loading flintlock at home. I can just as easily argue back that the media should not enjoy the freedoms of the First through radio, t.v., internet, and podcasts since they weren’t around either when the Bill of Rights was penned. And that their means of distribution should only be through newspapers or town criers in the public square.

“I lived in a ghetto and lost a parent when I was young, too, and went to Yale against great odds — but I never expect people to give me extra credit for that. Maybe it’s because I’m a conservative Christian Republican, so I know nobody is ever going to make a big deal out of my accomplishments. How sad!”

Alas, your accomplishments would be held against you if you were to be nominated for a position in a Republican administration. Cf. Miguel Estrada…

I wish the 2nd amendment were given the same sanctity as the first amendment. Pornographic DVDs were not invented in the 1780s, yet somehow they fall under “free speech” and they rarely even feature speech at all! But the argument from anti-gun folks is that somehow the 2nd amendment has to be endlessly contextualized and confined to the kind of weapons used by militias when the Bill of Rights was authored. How sad. :(

I feel like something’s wrong with me. I’m a Puerto Rican from the Bronx who also went to Yale, like Sotomayor, but I feel zero excitement. I feel insulted, instead, by the idea that somehow her biography is “impressive” or “compelling”? I lived in a ghetto and lost a parent when I was young, too, and went to Yale against great odds — but I never expect people to give me extra credit for that. Maybe it’s because I’m a conservative Christian Republican, so I know nobody is ever giong to make a big deal out of my accomplishments. How sad!

Well, I think the smart thing for the Republicans is to raise issues and see what happens.

12 Gauge,

I’d say the way they shutdown the Tea Party on 04/15 in front of the Treasury building, even after a valid permit was obtained, qualifies. But somehow, I doubt if the permit was issued to Code Pink that would have happened.

OK, both of them went to the same school that was–according to most people, very open and liberal, and complained about how much of outsider they’ve felt then and ever since.

So…….is the problem they can’t handle people different from themselves?

From M-obama’s upcoming book, “My life in the white house….the first 100 days”

“It seemed to me that when I first walked in, the place was like an old-folks’ home. There was the smell of something cooking that I couldn’t identify and not a single BB King CD to be found. Clearly, this was white-man territory and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it to set it to rights. After all, there was no hanging velor, no vibe, no…no STYLE to the place and I decided right then and there that it needed more things painted gold.”

It’s always the Second Amendment that liberal politicians go after. Can Anyone here list even one restriction placed on the First Amendment? One can argue that the gun grabbing is all about power, which to an extent is true, but at the core of it all is should the ordinary citizen have to rely upon local law enforcement for their well being? Or should they be allowed to arm themselves and make that call of self defense on their own? How long is it going to take for these gun grabbing idiots to realize that not everyone is willing to hold hands and sing Kumbayah, when they can get more of what they want by terrorizing their fellow man.

The reason that Michelle and Sonia felt the way they did is because liberals treat minorities like retarded children. Maybe if they had gone to a conservative school they would have had a more positive experience and come out feeling good about themselves and America. I have seen this first hand. Liberals typically treat minorities like children and conservatives treat all people equally.

Banned, did you use the word “conformation” on purpose? Brilliant!

John, he probably did ask, but I still think there is some remote hope on on the abortion topic.

Will a pro-abortionist ever vote Republican? Not a chance.
Are Hispanics a Democrat lock? No.

Therefore, Hispanic’s are the bigger prize.

I can imagine Mr Revenge throwing feminazis under a bus to get some more Hispanic votes….but only if he’s also convinced she is racist enough. The feminazis will be pissed, but they will still vote for scum like him.

It all depends on whether there is another female Hispanic who is just as racist as he is and just as pro-abortion as he is. If there wasn’t one available, he would over look Sonya’s failure to actively advocate killing babies.

…..”Also, she has no paper trail on abortion. There’s a remote possibility she could be pro-life……”

You can bet if the Moron nominated her he’s already made sure of her positions on THAT particular topic. Yet the fact that she has no paper trail on abortion serves his purpose well. As in everything else, Obama can always say “I had no idea what her views were” regardless which way the fish flops, and manage to cover his duplicitous ass.

What a whining, low-life, useless, waste of carbon matter.
Of course there were many places where she didn’t fit in, she’s so frigging stupid even the dumbest of the dumb (with one notable exception) avoid her!

“…so as to deprive the United States of their rightful resource for maintaining the public security, and disable the people from performing their duty to the general government.”

Excuse me, but what convoluted brain did this statement come from? Performing our duty to the general government???? How about the ability to protect ourselves from the miscreants that liberal judges like Sotomayor release instead of imprisoning!

“She got a thrill out of the cops and robbers stuff”

I like that.

Maybe she can recognize a crime. That would be something different than the ACLU lunatic she is replacing.

Also, she has no paper trail on abortion. There’s a remote possibility she could be pro-life. Some nutters on the left are worried about it. Her upbringing was Catholic, but Hahvad probably scrubbed that out of her.
