Immigrants Stomp On American Flag

I keep hearing how immigrants are law-abiding people who want to live in peace here in the United States. But I keep seeing videos like the following:



Where are La Raza and other Latino groups when this happens? Why don't they come out and condemn such hateful and disrespectful behavior?

Leftist Democrat Double Standard: Sotomayer Gets A Pass On Racist Comments, Affiliations

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If it weren't for double standards, the Dems would have no standards at all. Take for example Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor and the statements she has made about race:

"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male ..."

Now, let's say the situation were reversed and a generic white man said, "I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a latina woman..."

Would not the leftist Dems in Congress be screaming that this generic white man was a "racist" and therefore should not be considered for the highest court in the land?

Absolutely they would. So, why aren't they applying the same standard to Sotomayor?

Because the Dems are hypocrites. Ditto for any Republican who supports Sotomayor without calling her on her racist remarks.

What else has Sotomayor done that's racist?

Read this from Sean O'Donnel of the Baltimore Republican Examiner:

[W]hen firefighter Frank Ricci – the lead plaintiff in Ricci v. DeStefano – claimed racial discrimination by being denied a promotion and appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (after losing in the federal district court), Judge Sotomayor denied his claim. The Washington Post wrote that Sotomayor’s decision “was devoid of legal reasoning for affirming the decision of a lower district judge, a curious dismissal for a case that represents significant questions of law and the Constitution."

Even the left-leaning Washington Post can see the racial sentiments of Sotomayor.

More:

When Sotomayor served as a judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, she was a member of National Council of La Raza – the largest national Latino advocacy and civil rights group in the country. NCLR has been criticized for advocating separatist views and has been accused of encouraging illegal immigration. Former Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.) has described NCLR as “a Latino KKK without the hoods or nooses.”

Any one of these situations would completely disqualify a white man. We should hold Sotomayor to the same exact standard. Anyone who does not is nothing more than an arrogant hypocrite.

McCain Discusses Bill For Illegal Immigrants

Although Sen. McCain is still pushing for "comprehensive" reform, here is a little something about his current stance on border security. This comes from the speech event he recently attended with La Raza:

McCain continued to field questions even after La Raza organizers tried to wrap up the session. After organizers took the audience microphone, McCain tossed his own wireless microphone to Enrique Morones, a controversial leader of the Border Angels group. Morones, whose group provides water and other help for those who have crossed the border illegally, challenged McCain to end the "militarization of the border." McCain responded without hesitation that drugs flowing across the border were a serious problem and that there was little room for negotiation when it came to border security. "The United States of America has to have secure borders, but we can address the issue in a humane fashion," he said.

Still not perfect but light years ahead of Sen. Obama and the other Dems on this issue.

La Raza And The Anti-Defamation League Push For Censorship

It always amazes me how leftist groups claim to be fanatically committed to freedom (e.g. the ACLU) and yet they actively engage in activities specifically designed to curtail the freedom of others. We already know how the ACLU has been on an anti-Christian Crusade for the past several years and we know how that same ACLU works to silence the Boy Scouts while trying to give terrorists a louder voice.

But they are not alone.

The radical Hispanic group La Raza along with the Anti-Defamation League have been on a massive campaign to silence anyone who speaks out against illegal immigration. According to Roy Beck at NumbersUSA:

Led by the National Council of La Raza and the Anti-Defamation League, the open-borders groups have started a concerted campaign to persuade Cable TV executives to either bar me and our Director of Government Relations Rosemary Jenks from their shows, or to always introduce us as representing an "extremist" organization with ties to hate and racist groups. Their characterization of NumbersUSA and our members is without any connection to reality, facts or even common decency. But if all of us remain silent in the face of this campaign of character assassination, we might indeed be silenced on TV and beyond.

And more specific targets include Lou Dobbs of CNN, Pat Buchanan of MSNBC, Glenn Beck of Headline News and Sean Hannity of Fox.

Knowing how left-leaning most news networks are, it is not a question of if they will cave in but a question of when.

So, what can we do? We can notify the heads of the various networks that we will not be pleased if they give in to the propaganda of groups such as La Raza and ADL. You can contact them thus:

CNN Jim Walton President CNN Worldwide Atlanta, GA Email: jim.walton@turner.com Jonathan Klein President CNN U.S. New York, NY Email: jonathan.klein@cnn.com Richard Davis Executive Vice President of News Standards and Practices Atlanta, GA Email rick.davis@turner.com Viewer Response Line/Comments Call 212-275-7800 ask for Viewer Response Line FOX NEWS Roger Ailes Chairman and CEO New York, NY Email roger.ailes@foxnews.com Bill Shine Senior Vice President Programming New York, NY Email bill.shine@foxnews.com Brian Lewis Executive Vice President Corporate Communications New York, NY Email brian.lewis@foxnews.com Public Feedback Yourcomments@foxnews.com MSNBC Phil Griffin Senior Vice President of News New York, NY Email phil.griffin@nbc.com

And Roy Beck reminds us:

Please remember that these executives are not our enemies. Although we may not always agree with their balance in covering immigration, these three cables have been far more open than broadcast TV and the nation's newspapers to allowing the majority of Americans' concerns about immigration to be expressed. The La Raza Censorship Campaign is telling these executives that if they allow leaders from FAIR, the Minutemen, ALIPAC, or if they allow Rosemary and me, to continue to express our views on TV, the executives will be inculcating "good people" to hate all immigrants. The La Raza website says it goes beyond the bounds of free speech to say that our nation's immigration policies threaten our communities and our values. I say that statement itself threatens the values of our nation. Let these executives know that you know about the effort at censorship and that you back them 100% in keeping the immigration forum open to all sides -- including the open-borders people who want to censor us.
