Senator Hirono expressed support for Duckworth\u2019s \u201cwell-articulated, focused position\u201d and was \u201cprepared to join her in that.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such blatant bigotry should not surprise anyone who has followed the Democratic Party since the end of the Civil War.\u00a0Even since the United States defeated the Confederacy and freed all slaves in the 1860\u2019s, the Democratic Party has supported identity politics and discrimination against groups it opposes. Once Northern control of the southern states after the Civil War (known as Reconstruction) ended in the 1870\u2019s, Democratic leaders in the South immediately began to implement racist policies that disenfranchised black voters and enforced a system of segregation that treated black Americans as worse than second-class citizens.\u00a0Such Democratic support for discrimination against blacks continued well into the 1960\u2019s; indeed, it was only Republican support for the landmark federal Civil Rights Law of 1964 and the Voting Rights law of 1965 that assured their passage.\u00a0It must be remembered that the people who ordered water cannons and dogs to be used against civil rights demonstrators were all Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after discrimination against blacks become outlawed in the land in the 1960\u2019s, the Democratic Party merely switched the group of people it would discriminate against; now it would support discriminatory measures against anyone who was not a minority.\u00a0Beginning in the 1970\u2019s and continuing today, Democrats in government and their allies in big business, academia, Hollywood, big sports, and elsewhere have crafted affirmative action and quota policies that discriminate against non-minorities by explicitly or implicitly forcing proportional hiring, university admissions, and contracting based on skin color, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and sexual identity.\u00a0Being qualified and having good character as the only standards on which to judge a person\u2014and as required by the Civil Rights Law of 1964 and other state and federal laws\u2014went out the window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One can only imagine what would have happened if two United State senators declared that they would vote to confirm only nominees who were straight white males. The elites in our country would be up in arms calling for the resignation of the senators and the urgent need to end white supremacy in our country.\u00a0All members of the senators\u2019 party would be branded as racists and bigots and school curriculums characterizing all straight white males as oppressors would be put into effect. But then, schools are already doing this by indoctrinating students in <a href=\"https:\/\/ifamnews.com\/en\/?s=Critical+Race+Theory\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Critical Race Theory<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the response to Duckworth and Hirono was muted.\u00a0The Democratic party refused to criticize them, nor did the elites in the media or elsewhere do so.\u00a0There were no calls for the senators to resign or apologize, or for Democrats to take mandatory anti-bigotry trainings. Why this silence? Because it was just business as usual for the Democratic party.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is high time that we restore the vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; to judge people on the basis of their character and competence rather than any other identity they may have.\u00a0If we fail to do this, America will continue down the path of becoming a nation of squabbling identity groups, and the prediction of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev of 60 years ago will be realized: \u201cAmerica will destroy itself from within.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bigotry as usual for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":651,"featured_media":68852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"single_blog_custom":"","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","post_reading_time_wpm":"","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":"","sponsored_post_label":"","sponsored_post_name":"","sponsored_post_url":"","sponsored_post_logo":"","sponsored_post_desc":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":""},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[805,512],"tags":[10067,962,7093,1000,5551,10065],"class_list":["post-68791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-foreground","category-politics","tag-american-civil-war","tag-communism","tag-critical-race-theory","tag-democratic-party","tag-discrimination-3","tag-reconstruction"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
