Jason Richwine Should Have His IQ Tested

I guess facts can be made to support any argument.

What an idiot. Here is what one of the leading researchers at a conservative think tank wrote a few years back about Hispanic immigrants to the U.S.

[n]o one knows whether Hispanics will ever reach IQ parity with whites, but the prediction that new Hispanic immigrants will have low-IQ children and grandchildren is difficult to argue against. From the perspective of Americans alive today, the low average IQ of Hispanics is effectively permanent.

Wow. Goes to show that an education does not guarantee someone will not be an idiot.

The author of that statement, which came from a dissertation he wrote in college, though it has been shown that he still believes such drivel, is Jason Richwine, of the Heritage Foundation, one of the major opponents to immigration reform going on in Washington. No wonder Heritage is against immigration reform when they have people like Richwine working for them. Strangely, the Heritage Foundation is trying to back away from what Richwine wrote in that paper. Yet they keep him on staff and happen to agree with the implied point of his argument, that we should not let more Hispanic immigrants into the U.S.

Geez.

Here is a full article on this craziness.

Colin Powell Calls Out Republican Party

Gotta love people who are willing to speak the truth no matter the criticism. If the Republican Party were smart they’d listen to the man. Demographics is destiny.

Ann Coulter Now Blames Hispanics

Most divisive nominee.

Ann Coulter can’t help herself. Now instead of advising the Republican party that it is in their best interest to court the Hispanic population considering that group almost single-handedly handed Obama the White House, she is instead attacking Hispanics.

In a column she wrote a few days ago, in which she made fun of the Spanish language by titling it “America Nears El Tipping Pointo” she said this:

…Hispanic immigrants, who — because of phony “family reunification” rules — are the poorest of the world’s poor.

More than half of all babies born to Hispanic women today are illegitimate. As Heather MacDonald has shown, the birthrate of Hispanic women is twice that of the rest of the population, and their unwed birthrate is one and a half times that of blacks.

That’s a lot of government dependents coming down the pike. No amount of “reaching out” to the Hispanic community, effective “messaging” or Reagan’s “optimism” is going to turn Mexico’s underclass into Republicans.

She then takes it further with this gem:

…contrary to stereotype — Hispanics are less likely to be married, less likely to go to church, more supportive of gay marriage and less likely to call themselves “conservative” than other Americans.

Rather than being more hardworking than Americans, Hispanics actually work about the same as others, or, in the case of Hispanic women, less.

Yeah, if Republicans keep thinking like Coulter, Democrats may have permanent control of the White House.

Obama Symbolizes What’s Great About America

He embodies the promise.

Reposted from The Huffington Post

Finally it’s over. No more debates, commercials, endless campaign speeches and subsequent news reports. No more talking heads and spinning. No more polls. The only poll that counts was the one from Tuesday night. And thank goodness the best man won. Now that it is over, after a week or so of post election analysis and celebration (at least for the Democratic side) and whining on the losing side, we can go back to being one, clearly divided nation.

Republican Racism Will Make Party Obsolete

Wow, “shuck and jive” Sarah? Really?

Re-posted from The Huffington Post

Well I guess this puts all the talk about a “post-racial America” to rest.

The Associated Press released a report on Saturday that shows a majority of Americans, in fact an increasing number, still harbor prejudice against blacks and Hispanics. 51 percent of all Americans expressed anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in 2008 when the president first won election. Another AP survey showed 57 percent of Americans expressed anti-Hispanic feelings.

The results were not actually surprising. Once we got past the euphoria of Obama’s historic win, which was only possible with a multi-colored and multi-ethnic coalition, it became clear that the progress we gained was also going to result in a significant and predictably ugly backlash as well. Those who were not ready to see the long line of similarly pigmented men in the most powerful position on Earth were surely not going to sit back and not try to stir things up a bit.

Romney Supporter Doesn’t Mince Words About His Racist Motivation

Romney For President

Really?

This is a photo taken last Friday at a Romney-Ryan campaign stop in Ohio.

I guess we should be glad he is putting on the table what his root motivation is.

Stacey Dash Should Not Be Beaten Up For Choosing Mitt Romney

Free to choose.

Stupidity and intolerance from the Left is not more acceptable than that coming from the Right.

From a Yahoo article:

Actress Stacey Dash was attacked with negative tweets after voicing her support of Mitt Romney on Twitter over the weekend. Many comments were racially charged and others suggested the star of the 1990s hit ‘Clueless’ should just “kill herself.”

One man wrote, “This hurts, but you a Romney lover and you slutting yourself for the white man only proves why no black man would marry u.” Another Twitter user said: “She’s an indoor slave, you know that, sis.” Many tweetsexpressed disbelief that a woman of African American heritage would vote for anyone but Obama, and some suggested that her account must have been hacked.

The backlash began on Sunday, after Dash tweeted “Vote for Romney: The only choice for your future,” along with a provocative photo of herself wearing a red Baywatch-style tank suit standing in front of an American flag. “Kill yourself you old hag…” a Twitter users lashed out. “The only choice for your future.” Another wrote, “You’re an unemployed black woman endorsing @MittRomney. You’re voting against yourself thrice. You poor beautiful idiot.”

Come on people. True progress is when people of any ethnicity or color can voice their opinions and even choose to be totally different in a choice than most people expect them to be. Whether one agrees with Dash, who by the way is of mixed African-American and Mexican roots, she should be free to pick her own sides, regardless of her her background or gender.

Republican Committee Loses It With Stupid Image of Obama

One of the racist images posted on the Republican party’s websites.

Really? Really?

Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.

The altered photos have been on the Mecklenburg County Republican Committee’s page for months but drew attention outside the rural southwestern enclave after a luncheon event this week with Republican Senate candidate George Allen.

Some times I am surprised at how stupid people can be. And other times I am just amazed. This falls under utter amazement.

Here is the full story.

Ann Coulter Claims To Know Everything About Everything

I have to give Ann Coulter credit. She knows how to stir things up and get publicity in the process. I actually don’t think she believes most of what she says and she is just trying to stir up controversy most of the time. She knows it sells.

Her latest was this on “The View” regarding “race” and liberals:

Does Obama’s Skin Color Fuel The Anger Of The Right?

Hatred gone wild.

This article sums up the so-called “white elephant in the room” and no pun is intended by this reference by the way, though it is in retrospect kind of an ironic fit.

Is it because he’s black?

The question of whether race fuels opposition to President Barack Obama has become one of the most divisive topics of the election. It is sowing anger and frustration among conservatives who are labeled racist simply for opposing Obama’s policies and liberals who see no other explanation for such deep dislike of the president.

It is an accusation almost impossible to prove, yet it remains inseparable from the African-American experience. The idea, which seemed to die in 2008 when Obama became the first black president, is now rearing its head from college campuses to cable TV as the Democratic incumbent faces Mitt Romney, the white Republican challenger.

Four years after an election that inspired hopes of a post-racial future, there are signs that political passions are dragging us backward.

“We’re at a tipping point,” said Susan Glisson, director of the Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi. “But I don’t know which way we’re going to tip.”

I really don’t think all people who are against President Obama are against him because he is part Black. Many of those people dislike all Democrats and liberals and I think really believe he is simply too far left. But you do have to wonder about the level of hatred and all the references to him not being fully American, not born here, possibly Muslim, etc., etc. The guy in Austin, Texas who lynched an empty chair in his front yard, an obvious reference to Eastwood using an empty chair to symbolize Obama, is the latest example.

Food for thought. It is just hard to believe that his skin color is not a factor for many of these “we want our country back” people.
