When Racism and Sexual Predation Appear in Their Leader Ranks, These Insane Democrats Ask #Who?Me?...And Trump Says, "Come Home," America

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP?? I am beginning to think they have been brain washed......or had brain implants from an evil empire in a galaxy far far away...or are under mass hypnosis...OR are so power hungry that they are no longer rational or even sane. • • • VIRGINIA IS THE DEMOCRAT WATERLOO. In a showdown mood, Virginia Governor Northam and Lieutenant Governor Fairfax are vowing that they will not resign. Governor Northam has even announced a "Reconciliation Tour" statewide -- we can only hope it will be without blackface -- to make up to Virginians for wearing blackface. • Meanwhile, InfoWars reported this weekend that Patrick Hope, a Democratic member of the Virginia House of Delegates, tweeted on Friday that he will be introducing articles of impeachment if Fairfax hasn’t resigned by Monday : "On Monday, I will be introducing articles of impeachment for Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax if he has not resigned before then." — Patrick Hope (@HopeforVirginia) February 8, 2019. • When first asked about the allegation against Fairfax, Senator Spartacus -- oops, Senator Booker -- ducked the question, saying : “I think we should be focusing on what’s right now happening with the Governor. I know you guys are going to try to focus on a lot of things right now, but right now my focus is on again calling for the Governor to step down.” BUT, after reconsidering the mess in Virginia, on Friday, Senator Booker updated his original position in a tweet : "The multiple detailed allegations against the Lt. Gov. of Virginia are deeply troubling. They are serious, credible, and corroborated by others. It is no longer appropriate for him to serve. He should resign." — Cory Booker (@CoryBooker) February 8, 2019. We remember Senator "Spartacus" Booker, Booker. He's the guy who decided to grandstand to promote his 2020 bid for the White House by throwing a tantrum in a self-described “Spartacus moment” at the Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearing when he released old emails from Judge Kavanaugh to other Judges discussing racial profiling, which backfired spectacularly when they revealed Kavanaugh was against the practice. The New Jersey Democrat Senator (who was accused of sexually assaulting a man in a bathroom in 2014and recently 'created' a girlfriend), was a leader in the charge against Kavanaugh over the sexual assault claims during the Justice’s confirmation hearings. • Meanwhile, the Democrat Party's “rising star,” Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez similarly ducked questions over Fairfax, claiming she hasn’t looked into the situation “at all.” -- not surprising when we consider that it seems AOC doesn't look into ANYTHING, she just prattles. Anyway, Ocasio-Cortez said in a tweet : "Haven't Look At All Into The Situation." • Not to be outdone, Senator Kamala Harris -- she of Willie Brown girlfriend cronyism fame (sleeping her way to the top? Never !!) -- has been a bit smarter – admitting that Dr. Tyson’s accusations against Fairfax are credible and should be investigated – but NOT calling for his resignation. We remember that Senator Harris threw Kavanaugh under the chariot while Booker was playing Spartacus at the Kavanaugh hearings. Other prominent Democrats have been largely silent on the accusation against Fairfax – ducking questions or feigning ignorance, or both. AND, given the "specific, serious and credible accusation" against Fairfax, as his sexual assault on Dr. Tyson, and then his alleged rape of another woman, the silence of the Democrt leadership is deafening, especially when just months ago, prominent Democrats such as Cory Booker and Kamala Harris jumped on the “Believe all women” bandwagon for nebulous claims against then-Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh. It is #MeToo right up to the Democrat door -- that is where #Who?Me? begins. • • • DEMOCRAT "PASSIVE RESISTANCE." That's what Liberty Headlines's Ben Seller called it on Saturday. Sellers says : " ‘The Democratic Party has made it clear we will not tolerate racism....They just have to do it in a smart way that respects voters’ wishes that Democrats be in charge...’....During the 1950s, the tactic that Democrats in Virginia used to try to defeat federal demands to integrate schools was known as 'massive resistance.' By refusing to acknowledge the newly established law of the land that repealed the earlier 'separate but equal' treatise, political heavy-hitters like Senator Harry Byrd and Governor Mills Godwin managed to forestall the inevitable federal mandate into the early 1970s. But as some on the Left are fond of saying in the ongoing push to elevate marginalized identity groups, Virginia Democrats were 'on the wrong side of history.' The recent scandals involving the commonwealth’s three top officials, all Democrats, have many echoes of that earlier defeat -- not the least of which are the racial undertones and the tensions between social norms of the past and present. While it is clear they are morally in the wrong, what side of history they fall on rests in the hands of their political allies. Again, as with the repeal of segregation, it seems the Democrats’ strategy is to try to ride it out and hope it blows over. Facing a veritable minefield of criticism for their hypocrisy and double-standards, prominent party leaders either have sought to deflect and redirect the blame, or to remain deafeningly mute." • Sellers has decided to rename the Democrat racist tactic "Passive Resistance." Sellers says : "Nowhere has such passivity been more evident than in the allegations against Virginia Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax and their parallels with the Brett Kavanaugh allegations last fall....Dr. Vanessa Tyson, who said she was forced to perform oral sex on him when both were graduate students volunteering at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, even hired the same high-profile attorney as Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford. Several key differences exist : the Tyson account is more detailed than Blasey Ford’s and with fewer holes in the story. Also, there was no apparent alcohol use that might cloud the memories, and it involved only a 15-year gap rather than 35 years. Despite an early denial, Fairfax also acknowledged that the encounter happened but says it was consensual. And notably, because Tyson is herself a Democrat, the political motives that were ascribed to Blasey Ford’s conveniently timed accusations are far less a factor. The biggest difference of all, though, is that the chorus of impassioned cries to “Believe women” has fallen silent. Instead, those Democrats who are willing to address it maintain that further investigation is needed before passing judgment and demanding accountability." • Democratic National Committee chair Tom Perez stressed the importance of “due process,” after having ignored Democrat calls during the Kavanaugh case for chauvinist skeptics to “shut up.” And, the ProgDem propaganda tabloid Washington Post compiled comments from several prominent congressional Democrats, and nearly all sought to reserve judgment, in stark contrast with the Kavanaugh hearings. Most began by couching their equivocations under the qualifier of “I believe we must listen to women, but...”....After the second accuser, Meredith Watson, emerged late on Friday, some of the prominent state-level Democrats appeared to take a firmer position against Fairfax with a statement saying it was time for him to "step aside." • In the case of Governor Ralph Northam, who last Saturday recanted an earlier mea culpa over the blatantly and inexcusably racist images on his personal yearbook page in his senior year of medical school, those who rushed to condemn the governor with near universal calls for his resignation fell largely silent after the Fairfax scandal broke. However, the claims against Northam pose a dilemma for his critics. Even if the claims were somehow provable, meaning witnesses came forward to contradict the governor, nothing about wearing blackface or KKK robes in a 35-year-old yearbook violates the law. According to the Associated Press, he has weathered the storm thus far by staying out of sight, using underground tunnels and communicating, if necessary, through a crisis PR firm. Fairfax even accused the governor of leaking the sexual assault story to dodge the political consequences of his own racist act. AP says : “His best hope of survival in the short term might be the eruption of two other controversies that have since hit the two men next in line to succeed him, both Democrats. The party might be loath to oust the three for fear of handing the governor’s office over to the Republican legislative leader who is next in line." • AND, Sellers says Governor Northam’s strategy seems to be working -- he is willing to admit to wearing a Michael Jackson blackface in order to avoid the far more serious charge that he was the man in the KKK white hood in the yearbook photo. Sellers states : "In the mid-80s, public acceptance of blackface was such that Hollywood was still using it as a vehicle for comedies. Whether or not one now finds it offensive, blackface was prevalent enough in the time period that laying blame on Northam would surely mean setting up other dominoes to fall." • Sellers notes that it didn’t take long for the partisan press to lay cover for the embattled governor by painting a false equivalency to Virginia’s Republican Senate Majority Leader Tommy Norment : "On Thursday, The Virginia Pilot first reported that the 1968 yearbook Norment helped edit at Virginia Military Institute included several inappropriate references to minorities. Astoundingly, more in the media seemed to pick up on that engineered scandal than on any of the earlier ones involving the more prominent Democrats. But unlike Northam, Norment came out swinging, pointing out that he was one of seven editors, that none of the offensive content was directly traced to him, and that he had, in fact, been a vocal supporter of the integration movement taking place at the time, as evidenced on his personal pages. 'The use of blackface is abhorrent in our society and I emphatically condemn it,' Norment said in a statement. 'However, I am not in any of the photos referenced on pages 82 or 122, nor did I take any of the photos in question...I am not surprised that those wanting to engulf Republican leaders in the current situations involving the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General would highlight the yearbook from my graduation a half century ago.' ” • Attorney General?? Attorney General Mark Herring, facing the possibility that he, who is third in line for the governorship, might come under scrutiny, got out in front of the liability by acknowledging that photographic evidence might exist showing him, too, wearing shoe polish to pay tribute to ’80s rapper Kurtis Blow. Herring’s confession added several shades of nuance to Northam’s defense -- first and foremost by again directing the media focus on the lesser sin that the governor may have committed, ensuring that the story was about blackface and not klansmen. Being lumped in with Herring’s more benign appropriation of skin tone diminished the weight of Northam’s offense by association. It also introduced the question of degree, posing a problem of whether all instances of blackface were equally egregious and unpardonable. Could one offender be punished and not the other?" • The REAL ISSUE for the Democrat Party in Virginia -- and for the Dems nationally in 2020 in a state they had thought was in their pocket -- is the possibility that Republican House Speaker Kurt Cox would be next in line after Herring. President Trump nailed it in a tweet : "Democrats at the top are killing the Great State of Virginia. If the three failing pols were Republicans, far stronger action would be taken. Virginia will come back HOME Republican) in 2020!" — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 7, 2019. That reality tests the limits of Democrat “moral clarity” versus pragmatism, according to Quentin Kidd, a political science professor at Christopher Newport University. In an interview with the AP, Kidd likened it to three sinking ships “that suddenly lash themselves together and find they can float.” Or, as Democrat political operative Zac Petkanas told The Daily Journal, the outcome must determine the consequences : “The Democratic Party has made it clear we will not tolerate racism or the way some men have treated women. They just have to do it in a smart way that respects voters’ wishes that Democrats be in charge.” • • • DEMOCRAT DENIAL IS IN FULL SWING. They just cannot seem to recognize fact that racism or misogyny could figure into the Democrat legacy in such a way. Senator Booker said : “I don’t think this is a party issue.” • Booker was obviously testing a possible Democrat line of defense : “We’ve seen these problems on both sides of the aisle. I think this is an issue with a very difficult past, a painful past, a hurtful past that we have. And a lot of the truth telling that’s going on is going to lay the groundwork for reconciliation that we all need.” REALLY, Senator Booker?? We can be sure that your Democrat Party operatives have been scouring yearbooks and newspapers, and calling everyone they know trying to get a photo of a Republican -- any Republican -- in blackface. So far, no photos have appeared. • • • AND, NOW WE SEE ANTI-SEMITISM IN VIRGINIA'S DEMOCRATS. On Saturday, WND reported that : "Ibraheem Samirah, the Democrat nominee in Virginia’s 86th district February 19 election issued a statement Friday night for virulently anti-Israel and anti-Semitic posts that were published Thursday by Big League Politics. Samirah, a Moslem-American born to Palestinian refugees, said that giving money to Israel is worse than giving money to the Ku Klux Klan and wished for the late Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon to 'burn in hell,' in addition to other hateful screeds. Samirah called the charges part of a 'slander campaign,' blaming his statements on the work of his 'impassioned college days.' He is running for office against a Republican US Air Force veteran, Gregg Nelson, in the special election....Samirah has agitated for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement, which he worked for as the co-founder of American University’s Jewish Voice for Peace chapter. Following Sharon’s death, Samirah called for him to 'burn in Hell' before deleting the Facebook message. 'Ariel Sharon, burn. Burn a million times for every innocent soul you killed. Hell is excited to have you,' Samirah wrote." • Nice people -- these Democrat candidates !! What rock does the Democrat Party turn over to find them??? • • • AND THE WASHINGTON POST OFFERS A POLL. Hold on -- it can only happen when Democrats collapse -- YES, the Washington Post has done a poll showing that nearly 60% of African-Americans in Virginia want Governor Ralph Northam to remain in office despite the recent scandal surrounding a racist photo on the Democrat's 1984 medical school yearbook page, according to a poll released Saturday. The Washington Post-Schar School poll, conducted Wednesday through Friday, found Virginia's broader population to be split evenly about Northam’s fate, with 47% wanting him to stay and the same percentage wanting him to resign. African-Americans, however, prefer that the Democrat remain in office, 58% to 37%. Whites are more evenly divided. The poll also found that 11% of Virginia residents have either worn blackface or known someone who has. Other results from the poll revealed about a third of Virginians think Attorney General Mark Herring should resign after he admitted to wearing blackface at a party in college. Most residents are still undecided -- 65% -- on the future of Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, who is accused of sexual assault by two women. Fairfax denies the accusations. Respondents were not asked about the second allegation against him, that was made public Friday after the poll began. • Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy reportedly said : "I see the liberal media is starting their campaign to keep one of their own Governor Northam in office with a fake poll saying sixty percent of blacks want him to remain in office, he'll remain because liberal media won't pursue it." • • • PELOSI IS WITH THE WASHINGTON POST. BlabberBuzz and Breitbart reported on Saturday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi insisted on Thursday that the blackface and alleged sexual assault controversies engulfing the top three Democrats in Virginia will not damage the “national Democratic brand.” When Pelosi was asked if the scandals will hurt the “national Democratic brand,” she replied, “No, it does not.” Breitbart says : "As some Virginia Democrats were getting ready for Herring, the attorney general, to potentially become the state’s next governor, Herring also admitted that he had put on blackface in the past, a confession that reportedly moved some of his black colleagues and lawmakers to tears. 'That conduct clearly shows that, as a young man, I had a callous and inexcusable lack of awareness and insensitivity to the pain my behavior could inflict on others. It was really a minimization of both people of color, and a minimization of a horrific history I knew well even then,' Herring said in a statement. 'It sounds ridiculous even now writing it. But because of our ignorance and glib attitudes -- and because we did not have an appreciation for the experiences and perspectives of others -- we dressed up and put on wigs and brown [BROWN??] makeup.' Pelosi said Virginia Democrats have to 'resolve their issues that they have there' and added that 'it’s sad because they have some very talented leaders there.' But Pelosi added that the Virginia Democrats 'have to have the confidence of the electorate and the legislature that they have to work with. I’ll leave it up to them,' Pelosi said, doing her best to distance herself and national Democrats from the fiasco in Virginia." • • • BLAMING THE PAST IS TOO EASY -- THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS ALWAYS BEEN RACIST. America Thinker's Bruce Walker spells out the history of the Democrat Party : "The racist antics of Virginia governor Ralph Northam ought not to surprise anyone. The Democratic Party has long been marinated in racist thinking. Today, most of that racism is irrational hatred of white people and the denial of white people through such policies that the Nazis practiced -- racial quotas -- in the name of that moronic and repulsive goal 'social justice,' which is to say injustice; all justice is individual. The Democratic Party was even more deeply committed to racism against blacks, and the Ku Klux Klan was simply the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party, which drove Republicans out of the South and compelled blacks to join the Democratic Party, where they were denied the right to vote in primaries or participate in caucuses to choose the Democrat nominee for offices. Blacks who gave in to this terrorism and became Democrats were said by disgusted black women to be 'crossing the Jordan' and were referred to as 'Uncle Tom,' which is how that derogatory name from Uncle Tom's Cabin entered the American political lexicon. The Ku Klux Klan did more than just terrorize Republicans. The Klan was a strong supporter of public schools and a passionate advocate of creating a federal department of education with Cabinet-level status. The Ku Klux Klan also touted itself in many parts of the nation as 'progressive' and opposed big business. The infestation of Klan members in the Democratic Party -- an utterly forgotten story -- includes not just nebbishes like Northam, but Democrat icons. Woodrow Wilson, though not a Klan member himself, re-segregated the federal civil service. He showed the Klan celebratory film, The Birth of a Nation, in the White House and commented that so much of what was in the film was so true. FDR won the Democrat presidential nomination in 1932 when, in the later rounds of voting, all the 'Solid South' swung to him. FDR never desegregated the military or tried to end the disenfranchisement of blacks in the South or supported the civil rights bills that conservative Republicans repeatedly introduced in Congress. Truman himself applied to join the Ku Klan Klan. Democrat Presidents put several Klansmen on the Supreme Court. Justice Edward White, who had been a Klansman, was put on the Supreme Court by Grover Cleveland. FDR put Hugo Black, a leftist icon and also a Klansman, on the Supreme Court. Harry Truman put Tom Clark, father of the odious radical leftist Ramsay Clark, on the Supreme Court. Is all this ancient political history?....West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who had been a high official in the Ku Klux Klan...used the term 'white nigger' in a television interview. Byrd was repeatedly chosen as the Democrat leader in the Senate. The contrast with the Republican Party is stark. Every single Republican presidential candidate since the Civil War supported equality before the law for blacks and invited blacks to join and to participate in the Republican Party at the local and national levels. Even after serving terms as President, men like Rutherford B. Hayes devoted the rest of their lives to working to educate blacks in the South. Thaddeus Stevens, who is attacked in most history books for supporting the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, refused to acknowledge Pennsylvania state law changes that, before the Civil War, denied blacks the vote. In his will, Stevens asked to be buried in a black-only cemetery. Republican national conventions long before there was any political gain to be had often had the invocation by black clergymen. The platforms of these conventions almost invariably called for granting blacks genuine political and civil rights. Virtually all the black leaders, up to W.E.B. Du Bois, were Republicans (and even the Marxist Du Bois, after supporting Wilson in 1912, declined to do so in 1916)." • Bruce Walker asks : "How, then, did the Ku Klux Krats come to be seen as the champions of blacks? Because, as they always do, leftists -- the Ku Klux Klan is clearly a spawn of the Left -- promised them unearned goodies, unmerited advantages, and the appearance of power. Equality before the law became in fact inequality, forcing colleges and companies to hire relatively unqualified blacks, which both destroyed the value of those institutions in many ways and also insured that interracial hostility continued and worsened. Can anything be done? Possibly, but probably not. All those who crossed the Jordan to become Democrats are too addicted to those destructive narcotics that are the tools of enslavement used by the Left. That is just what the Left and its political vehicle, the Democratic Party, want." • BUT, it can be done. And President Trump has taken the much needed step of opening his arms, and thus re-affirming the open arms of Lincoln's Grand Old Party, to Black Americans. It was long long overdue. • • • TRUMP IS THE SANE MAN IN THE LAND OF THE CRAZIES. BlabberBuzz and Townhall got it right on Sunday : "If you are of the mind that President Trump is to blame for everything wrong and wacky in our politics, then last week was a very bad week for you. The evidence begins with Trump’s very good State of the Union speech, where he was alternately conciliatory toward Democrats and ruthless in contrasting his policies with theirs. Reckless in their rhetoric and resistance, Dems make themselves vulnerable to charges that they support open borders, socialism and infanticide. It doesn’t help that a lasting image of the speech was the women-in-white brigade scowling throughout, rising enthusiastically only to celebrate the President’s recognition of them. For more proof that Trump is not the root of all madness, consider the spectacles Dems created in two states. Start with Virginia, where the governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general -- all Democrats -- spent the week ducking calls to resign. Hypocrisy ran wild, with the AG among the first to call for the governor to quit over a blackface scandal, then being forced to admit he was guilty of the same offense as a teenager. Meanwhile, the lieutenant governor was rocked by two sexual-assault allegations, with both women publicly identifying themselves and telling their stories." • For most Republicans, it is sickening to hear day after day that the only non-racist, pro-Black, pro-Hispanic, pro-Women leader in the Swamp is being accused of the disgusting '-isms' held and supported by his detractors. Not wanting to cede their grip on Virginia to Republicans, the Democrat leadership refuses to accept the descriptions "racist” and “rapist” for their Democrat Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney General in Virginia, only to apply the words to President Trump. BUT, not surprisingly, while equivocating about the white Governor Northam and the white AG Herring, Democrat leaders seemed more ready to jettison the Black Lieutenant Governor. Because he is Black? Maybe, but also because he represents one of the two major Identity Groups that routinelw vote Democrat -- the other Identity Group being women -- and the Lieutenant Governor is accused of violating a woman. Does that mean the Democrats think women are a better vote bet in 2020 than Blacks, who are moving toward President Trump and his jobs and a-better-life agenda? Undoubtedly. Let the blackface whites stay on, but dump the real Black who offends #MeToo. • • • PRESIDENT TRUMP WELCOMES BOTH WOMEN AND BLACKS IN HIS MAGA AGENDA. But, don't ask Representative Al Green, a Texas Democrat, who will again try to impeach President Trump -- this time because the blackface crisis is -- wait for it -- all President Trump's fault. We knew that was coming, didn't we?? Representative Green says the blackface trouble in Virginia "...is but a symptom of a greater syndrome that currently plagues our country as a result of not acting on President Trump’s bigotry..." Green said Virginia’s Democratic governor, Ralph Northam, and the state’s Democrat attorney general, Mark Herring, have both refused to resign because they’ve been made to believe that kind of behavior is OK : “We no longer stare bigotry down; bigotry now stares us down. Further, an argument that Governor Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring should resign will subject us to accusations of political hypocrisy if we refuse to take on a bigoted President.” • So, one Democrat approach to Democrat racism and bigotry is to blame President Trump. That ought to clean up the Democrat Party real fast !!! • • • DEAR READERS, American Thinker's Clarice Feldman, drives the problem home, as she so often does. Feldman wrote on Sunday : "For decades, lacking a coherent and acceptable broad-based platform, the Democrats have cobbled together their victories by playing the identity politics game. Reaching out to different groups, playing on their sense of victimization and oppression, dissolving the very bonds of civic cohesion, and pretending to a savior role for each group. Of course, if people thought about it, no one is less oppressed than a modern-day American, and the special interests and pleadings of these disparate groups often collide and conflict, but that seemingly passes beyond their ken or notice. This week, in contrast to the unifying State of the Union address by the President which was coherent, consistent, and uplifting, the three top officials in Virginia -- all Democrats -- are engaged in a bloody battle which looks to disunite the Democratic women from the black voters of the state. It’s not helping the media either, especially not the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, is himself embroiled in a marital scandal and fight with David Pecker, the owner of the National Enquirer. (Who can beat the NY Post’s front page on Friday “Bezos Exposes Pecker”?) The imbroglio in Virginia has inspired lots of humorous digs on the right, not the least of which is the rewriting of the motto 'Virginia is for Lovers' into 'Virginia is for Losers' as indeed the party is now a laughingstock with no good way out of the dilemma." • Enough said. Democrats, ask not #Who?Me?. Follow the advice in Isaiah 38:1, "Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order : for thou shalt die, and not live."
