A Couple of Idle Thoughts

…triggered by a Wall Street Journal article about Michelle Obama’s expected commentary at the Democratic Party Convention.

Democrats have drafted a platform that makes race a key issue, calling for a “societal transformation to make it clear that black lives matter” and saying racial income and wealth gaps “are the result of policies that discriminate against people of color.”

But not all lives, as the Black Lives Matter movement has made clear.

Never mind that those discriminatory policies—minimum wage law positions, for instance—target people of color in particular and that they’re universally and long-standing Democrat policies.

Never mind, either, that the welfare cliff that traps people of color, along with all of America’s poor, in poverty and government dependence are the result of long-standing Democrat policies.

Never mind, either, that the Democratic Party still can’t say “blacks” or “black Americans,” much less “Americans who happen to be black or brown;” they continue to hide behind arch euphemisms.

Mrs Obama could also nod to the subject of gender. Mrs Clinton in her 2008 concession speech called capturing the White House the highest “glass ceiling” for women, but she also said that thanks to the number of primary voters who had backed her, the ceiling had “about 18 million cracks in it.”

And, eight years later, Clinton has, not no record, but an active record of failure and deceit.  All she’s got to favorably recommend her is her gender card.

Democrats’ War on Women Continues

And now these wonderful people are actively going after babies, too.

After demanding immediate emergency funding [for developing a vaccine with which to combat the zika virus, which causes babies in infected pregnant women to be born badly disabled with malformed brains] for months, they walked out on their own bill on Thursday to use the issue as a campaign bludgeon against Republicans.

All for their personal political gain.

As of 7 July, 649 women in the US and territories have evidence of a Zika infection, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Those numbers are certain to rise in the summer months….

But Democrats don’t care about the women or their babies.  They’re only concerned with their partisan gains.  And Democratic Party Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is shamefully silent on the matter.

Elections have consequences.

Leadership

That’s the subject of a Friday Wall Street Journal op-ed of a similar name.  The piece recounted the recent history of anti-cop violence and murders of cops in the performance of their duties—including protecting an hours-long anti-cop protest by the Black Lives Matter movement in Dallas, for which the police were rewarded with the murder of five of their own and the wounding of several more.

The WSJ also decried, correctly, the lack of support our police get from our political leadership from the President on down—until after those cops have been wounded or murdered, and then official condolences flow like snake oil from a salesman.

President Barack Obama (D) was cited as saying that it’s possible to decry the abuses of our justice system while expressing support for the police, and he’s right.  But Obama has demonstrated his stout belief in the sewage of moral relativism, in the wake of the Dallas police murders, by spouting carefully unbalanced statistics—unbalanced because Obama chose not to mention things like black on black murder statistics—and by carefully ignoring the racism of the Black Lives Movement and the self-serving racism of the Al Sharptons of the nation who aren’t even sincere in their racism but spout it only for their personal aggrandizement.

The piece also quoted Minnesota’s Democrat Governor Mark Dayton saying this about the shooting of Philando Castile in suburban Minneapolis:

Would this have happened if the driver were white, if the passengers were white? I don’t think it would have.

That this is a deliberately racist statement made solely for Dayton’s personal political gain is demonstrated by his careful elision of the fact the cop involved was…brown.

These things illustrate a part of what lies beneath Obama’s and his party’s divisiveness over the last few years: they’ve cynically played the race card in order to increase their political power.

Democrats represent the ideology of victimhood with Democrats as the Protectors.  And this only traps Democrat protectees in dependency on their protectors.  Liberals know this full well.

Democrats’ Censorship

The Democratic Party’s draft platform calls for

the Department of Justice to investigate alleged corporate fraud on the part of fossil fuel companies who have reportedly misled shareholders and the public on the scientific reality of climate change[.]

This is on top of all the Democratic Party State Attorneys General persecuting companies under pseudo-RICO charges for daring speak.  Because we can’t have the average American individual [who] is morally and intellectually inadequate presuming to dispute with the Democrats’ received wisdom.  Nossir.

And

Democratic members of the Federal Election Commission, in a decision to be made public on Thursday, voted last month to punish Fox News over criteria changes for the network’s first Republican presidential primary debate….

Fox News‘ crime, so heinous in the eyes of Democrats? They altered the format of that first debate to expand free speech by increasing the number of Presidential candidate debaters.  We can’t have, after all, those morally and intellectually inadequate Americans having access to too wide a range of view.  Mm, mm.  Fortunately, the honest members of the FEC succeeded in blocking this travesty.

This is what a Hillary Clinton administration will inflict on us.

“DOJ to institute mandatory bias training”

Or so the Fox News headline says AG Loretta Lynch claims.  Her Deputy Attorney General, Sally Yates, on the matter:

Implicit bias also presents unique challenges to effective law enforcement, because it can alter where investigators and prosecutors look for evidence and how they analyze it without their awareness or ability to compensate[.]

There isn’t anything implicit about ethics or about lying.  Will Lynch obey a Federal court order to have her lawyers undergo ethics training, or will she continue to refuse that and allow her lawyers to continue to lie in court—the cause of the ethics training order?
