Alito, Schumer, racism, public housing and more: a bramble-bush of nonsense and political manipulation
I hate politicians. Here is an episode of political subterfuge infused with all the silly, ugly things we can expect from the political sector.
Recently, Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has been running the gang of 14 gauntlet, with the Democrats siccing the predictable "he's a racist, anti-woman christian fundamentalist conservative" dogs on him, hoping to make a crass political spectacle of his nomination hearings like they always do. However, it has not been easy because, it seems, Alito does not really have much to answer for - except, perhaps for one questionable incident early in his career where he, well, looks a little bit racist.
One of his most enthusiastic accusers is Democrat Chuck Schumer of New York, who pretty much led the pack in pegging him as a black-hater - yes, I know, how original.
It seems, though, that Mr. Schumer himself has been party to racist government coercion in his hometown of Brooklyn NY, NY, where he tried to get a housing project full of black people condemned so that the units could be resold to whites.
Read a purported first hand account of Schumer's low-brow racist politicking here.
In a just, libertarian system, the government would not subsidize apartments for "low income" residents, provide rent assistance, or otherwise dictate what kind of people live where and for what price.
This is not the world we live in, so we have to put up with racist hypocrites using the government to divide and conquer, like Schumer apparently has in his past.
Then he has the nerve to obstruct and smear Samuel Alito, who, even at a cursory glance, seems well suited to sit on the nation's top court (although I cannot say for sure - but these kinds of manipulations are NOT convincing, ONLY irritating).
Only time will tell if we as a nation will ever be able to be representing by people who will not sink to the lowest common denominator in pursuit of power.
These clowns make me roll my eyes.
