Thread: Solis, Sotomayor: Diversity trumps Meritocracy

Diversity trumps meritocracy

The Intelligencer

To the Editor:

President Obama has nominated Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. It's important to note that Sotomayor was part of the majority on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that threw out a lawsuit brought by several white men who were denied a position in the New Haven, Conn., fire department, even though they had scored the highest on entry tests.

Because no African Americans scored in the top percentile, the test was deemed to be racist, so of course it was thrown out. And please don't tell me the questions were "culturally biased." One of the firefighters who is part of the suit is a Hispanic who scored in the top 10. If African Americans had scored in the top percentile, the test would have been perfectly fine, because in this sick and getting sicker society, diversity trumps meritocracy and skin color is more important than individual liberty.

What the mainstream media have left out of this story is the fact that one of the white complainants has suffered from dyslexia all his life and spent a good deal of money and time preparing for the test. That didn't matter; his skin color apparently made it easier for him to score in the top five.

President Obama said he wanted a justice with "empathy" on the court, but that compassion is only to be for certain people in the brave new world the left is constructing for us, where all will be equal, but some will be more equal than others.

Sotomayor is another bone thrown to the growing Hispanic base, along with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, who is a radical open-borders advocate. Identity politics played a major role in Obama's choice. She is as much an affirmative-action nominee as he was. When you examine her record, you find she is an ideologue, an anti-constitutionalist and a reverse racist.

But the fact that she is a woman and a Hispanic will have Republicans quaking in their boots during her confirmation. So cracked and broken is our melting pot, the much-coveted Hispanic vote will take precedence over our Constitution.

Thanks!

if we don't put the Hispanic, so to speak where they belong, in the ethnic column and split them in theri racial parts our country will implode. why on earth are hispanics more special than other ethnic groups that they have their own category mixed in with racial labels. our destiny is now connected to the future of one ethnic group! where is equal protection here? on the basis of citizenship americans of german heritage are the largest group in our country. why dont we speak of the germans? enough is enough!

Germans still have the nazi stereotype unfortunately. On the positive side though all Europeans became real Americans and not the hyphenated variety of immigrants we see today from certain countries.

why on earth are hispanics more special than other ethnic groups that they have their own category mixed in with racial labels.

Votes

It is just politics as usual. With Obama president, and a solid Democrat party majority in the Congress, this is exactly what should be expected. They are buying Hispanic votes. This is how the Democrat party is able to get 90% of the black vote, and they intend to get 90% of the Hispanic vote because the projected demographics show them this is the way to maintain political dominance in the future.

The Republican Party wants to do the same thing. Their problem is that they are not as good at buying minority votes as the Democrats. The RNC tries to blame this on the conservative base of the party, but the elite leadership is the problem because no one believes for one instant the BS they put out. If the conservatives could find a way to dump the elites (maybe convince them to become Democrats like Arlen Specter) the Republican party would be in a much stronger position to attract more minority votes. The recent initiative in California, one of the most liberal states in country, to ban homosexual marriage was successful because of strong support by black and Hispanic voters. That indicates to me there are plenty of people who belong to minorities who will support conservative values if presented honestly and sincerely as the basis for political action.

Until then, expect more of the same from the Democrats and Obama. If you think Sonia is bad, just wait until Obama has to pick a replacement for Ginsburg.
