Earlier this week a late-term abortionist was murdered by an extreme right-wing nut job who had too much gunpowder in his morning cereal. BHO immediately condemned this act of violence and had his attorney general send federal marshals out to protect doctors and nurses and clinics that are in the abortion business. The media went nuts, condemning everyone to the right of John Kerry as contributors to the doctor’s murder.
The next day, one soldier was killed and another wounded outside their recruiting station by a muslim extremist who said he wanted to shoot more. It took BHO two whole days to condemn that one. Did you hear anything from the media labeling all muslim extremists as America-haters? Didn’t think so.

No empathy for me, thank you
Like an off-brand Cialis pill, the GOP leadership has gone too soft too fast on Sotomayor. So I’ll say it; she’s a racist and should not be confirmed to the Supreme Court.
She’s not overtly racist as in, “I hate white/black/whatever color people.” Hers is a more subtle racism which is worse. It’s easy to ignore overt racism, but when it’s not so obvious, it can sneak up on you.
Those entrusted with a seat on the Supreme Court need to be blind to color/race/ethnic background, etc… Sotomayor, however, has made it perfectly clear that she sees all of those differences in vivid color. That empathy that BHO said he wants on the bench is exactly what she’ll give him, and it’s exactly wrong. She may not use her seat to obviously rule against a specific race or color, but what she will do is use that position to rule in favor of those she deems in need of a little help. She’ll look at the law as though standing in their shoes.
She’s wrong for the bench, she’s wrong for America. Until she says the law looks the same no matter whose shoes you’re standing in, she should not get anyone’s support.
