‘Comma-la’s’ selection raises talking points
VIEW from behind the plow
Joe Biden’s (or his handlers’) naming of Kamala Harris (and remember you must pronounce Kamala as Comma-la) raises some interesting points.
For instance, what’s Kamala going to say when Joe refers to her as well-spoken or intelligent or attractive (as if that were an anomaly) for a person of color.
Those are sort of the kind of words Biden used to describe Barack Obama when he was an all-but-unknown Democrat candidate for president.
Now Obama is widely known as a suave and debonair multi-millionaire who is acceptable in even the most polite circles.
Another good question for Mrs. Harris is how will she explain that her family has owned slaves in the past? That fact hardly fits in with the white privilege talking points of the left.
Also, how will she explain to Black Lives Matter activists who favor less aggressive prosecution of criminal cases that Kamala was aggressive in pursuing minor criminal cases as a California prosecutor?
The New York Times is trying to “sell” her as a pragmatic centrist.
Everyone knows from experience that the left-wing media will cover up the blemishes as the Biden-Harris campaign progresses.
Susan Stamper Brown of Alaska, who has been named one of America’s 40 best conservative columnists in 2017, wrote a zinger entitled “Puppets and Puppeteers Peddling White Privilege” in a recent edition of Townhall.
Columnist Ann Coulter spilled the beans that Kamala is half Indian and half-Jamaican – no reparations for her – and that her Jamaican father admits their family owned slaves.
Among Susan Stamper Brown’s points were these: “Those preaching the so-called gospel of “White Privilege” are nothing more than mindless marionettes in the hands of neo-Marxist puppeteers, whose divide-and-conquer strategy includes broadly casting the net of collective guilt over a group of people who are mostly too busy working and doing the right thing to be racist or worry about privilege.
“Enter: The Obamas, Oprah Winfrey and the like. It seems like only yesterday Michelle was whining to Oprah Winfrey about the hopelessness she experienced after Donald Trump won in 2016. Apparently, it’s worsened. During her recent podcast, the former first lady complained she’s dealing with “some form of low-grade depression” -- blaming it on not just pandemic quarantines, but “because of the racial strife and seeing this administration. Watching the hypocrisy of it day-in and day-out is dispiriting.”
“Let’s unpack Michelle’s depressing life. Post-presidency, the Obamas make $400 thousand annually, and their net worth is reportedly $70 million, according to celebritynetworth.com. The same website claims in 2017, the Obama’s purchased an 8,200 squarefoot mansion in Washington, D.C., for $8.1 million. In 2019, they bought a $14.9 million 7000 square-foot Martha’s Vineyard vacation property with 29 oceanfront acres. “How’s that for white privilege?”
We have always considered Barack Obama a stooge for leftist billionaire George Soros’ efforts to destroy a constitutional America.
Later on, Ms. Brown adds the following:
“Given what we know now, Americans overlooked Obama’s neo-Marxist leanings during the 2008 and 2012 elections and primarily voted for him because of his skin color.
“Obama’s presidency gave a tremendous impetus to the anti-American, neo-Marxist movement running rampant in America today.”
She concluded: “As former professional football player Burgess Owens, a black Republican candidate running for Utah’s 4th Congressional District pointed out in a recent tweet: “The most popular racist term today…’White Privilege.’ Don’t tell me my skin color holds me back. Don’t you dare tell me my skin color makes me a victim.’
“Exactly. Everyone has an equal opportunity in America, and it’s disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
“Frankly, I’m fed up, along with multiple millions of other patriotic Americans, black, white and otherwise. We are disgusted with all the America-hating, race-baiting and white-berating.
“America has a big tent; however, there’s no room for those intent on overthrowing the American way of life. “Those who hate America, both the puppets and puppeteers, should take their show elsewhere, preferably to an anti-American dictatorship that’ll welcome them with open arms. That is until they attempt to do there what they do here--which will be the cue for rest of us to pop popcorn and enjoy the show.”
It is odd to contemplate the left’s call to destroy America’s system when even the poorest American would be considered rich in most areas of the world.
