Senator Booker quotes Kwame Ture
2018-09-11
[Front Page] Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical left and Islamic terrorism.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was the beginning of the Democrat 2020 primaries, and the winner was the Senate Democrat who yelled the worst possible thing.

That was Senator Cory Booker.

Unlike some Senate Dems, Booker didn’t just confine his attack to Brett Kavanaugh, a mild-mannered man widely beloved by both the Democrats and Republicans who worked with him, he went for broke.

The Founding Fathers were racist geniuses, Booker insisted. Their constitution was flawed. Originalism, interpreting the Constitution as it was written, rather than whatever social justice activist the Dems had managed to plant on the bench, is going to be racist and sexist, because its authors were deplorables.

“Native Americans were referred to as savages, women weren’t referred to at all, African Americans were referred to as fractions of human beings. As one civil-rights activist used to say ‘constitutu, constitu, I can only say three-fifths of the word,’” Booker bloviated.

#7  It was Western civilization that came to reject slavery as an institution.

It was Western cultural imperialism and intolerance that greatly reduced the global practice of slavery in the 19th century.

The 0.6 compromise was the result of the political rejection of slavery by a large faction of the Western populace.

This trivial historical insight is probably beyond a "civil rights leader" who changed his name to honor failed, corrupt, totalitarian sh*thole despots, who btw, as despots did claim ownership to their subjects.

#4  wild-eye crackpot

Outta the pile...

Much have I travell'd in the realms of brass,
And many coastal states and boroughs seen;
Round many longish islands have I been,
Which bards and politicians hold first class.
Oft of one grey expanse had I been told
Where Satchmo slept serene beneath the green,
But never knew its queen, well-spoken, clean,
Till spoke out Alexandria loud and bold:
Then felt I like some connoisseur of lies
When new dissembler spins into his ken,
A wise barista, say, with crazy eyes
Who makes one minute chatting seem like ten,
Her face uplifted toward a distant prize
Or braying on the stump in Darien.

#2  Cory Booker needs some acting lessons so he can properly stand and orate in the Mussolini Persona... So far he just looks like a wild-eye crackpot -- no gravitas.

#1  Didn't seem to stop him from taking an oath to uphold and defend. Power by any means necessary.
