Sotomayor shifting national debate Right?
[Patrick Cleburne]
>>" It is beginning to look deliciously like the Sotomayor nomination, besides being crucially revealing about what drives Barack Obama, might make an important contribution to moving national debate in a direction congenial to VDARE.com. To where ethnicity and ethnic interests can be honestly and frankly considered - including the interests of Whites.
In Court Choice Pushes ‘Identity Politics’ to Forefront By Peter Baker

Abigail Thernstrom is allowed to get off some zingers
“He didn’t pick a post-racial candidate…“She’s a quintessential
spokesman for racial spoils.”
Ms. Thernstrom, a Republican appointee to the United States
Commission on Civil Rights, said the real question was what the
episode revealed about Mr. Obama. Is he the apostle of a post-racial
society or a more subtle player in the country’s age-old identity
politics or something in between? “I think he’s a complicated person,”
she said.
Right question; wrong answer. Anyone who reads Steve Sailer’s book
America’s Half Blood Prince knows that while Obama might be a
complicated writer he is very simple politically: race is the only
thing that matters.
But not bad for Thernstrom, who has a history of wimpishness. Not bad
for the Times either.
Sotomayor’s nomination has set off a scramble by Hispanic “Republican”
consultants to proclaim ethnic loyalty before Party obligation -
including our old friend Lionel “Blood runs thicker than politics”
Sosa.
Sosa provided the juicer quotes to a Huffington Post essay yesterday
trying to intimidate the Sotomayor sceptics
This matter is lovingly discussed today by 24ahead.com
I don’t need to tell anyone why Sosa isn’t saying anything
negative and is helping the HuffPost (and in effect Obama): “Blood
runs thicker than politics”. Allowing Sosa to speak for Republicans
shows once again just how dumb the GOP leadership is. The GOP
leadership completely fails to realize that playing the identity
politics game is a big loser for them. They’re trying to play a Dem
game on a Dem field using Dem rules and Dem referees, and everyone
knows how that’s going to turn out.
Sosa was particularly hostile to the anti-Sotomayor recent remarks by
Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. And these are themselves an important
development – neither man was historically to the forefront in these
types of battles (to put it mildly). As James Fulford remarked here
when Limbaugh’ new outspokenness attracted attention
Limbaugh isn’t particularly interested in race, but he’s
interested in whatever his audience is interested in, and that
includes racial issues.
The audience is going to get more interested in racial issues as it
becomes more difficult for the MSM to hide that the Obama
Administration is totally motivated by ethnic animus and that White
Americans are the target.
Meanwhile, hat tip to One Old Veteran’s wonderful news clipping
website for alerting me to what may be the lethal blow to the
Sotomayor nomination.
Obama Picks Anti-gun Judge for the Supreme Court Gun Owners of America
Friday May 29 2009
The Heller decision put the Supreme Court in support of the
Constitutional protection of the individual right to keep and bear
arms. Sotomayor, a politically correct lover of centralized government
power (as long as she is part of the power elite), immediately went
into counter-attack mode against the Heller decision.
Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel earlier this year which
ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that the Second Amendment does not apply to
the states….Sotomayor disdains this important right of individuals
(the right to keep and bear arms-VDARE.com), as indicated by an
earlier opinion from 2004. In United States v. Sanchez-Villar, she
stated that “the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental
right.”

away with this kind of thing. Now, not so easy."<<
