Collective Conscious

Focus on the Fam­ily on Obama’s appoint­ment of Amanda Simp­son (h/​t Polit­i­cal Ani­mal):

“This isn’t like appoint­ing an African-​​American in order to try to pro­vide diver­sity and right some kind of dis­crim­i­na­tory wrong,” [Matt Bar­ber, asso­ciate dean at Lib­erty University,] said. “This is about polit­i­cal correctness.”

Appar­ently, it’s also not at all like appoint­ing a straight white male to do the job you want him to do (check out the pic­tures that run 1) along the top and 2) along the side). On that note, please try to find it funny, and not sad, that the only black per­son on that site is Lloyd Mar­cus, the pres­i­dent of the NAACPC (in which the extra “C” stands for “Conservative”).

It also appears he’s one of like, four total peo­ple act­ing under the aus­pices of the NAACPC (their names are listed at the top; only he and his wife are actu­ally of color, despite the organization’s name). Classy excerpts from the site’s lone arti­cle (also by Lloyd Marcus):

Com­ing from the project, Obama’s Supreme Court nom­i­nee Sonia Sotomayor’s story is inspir­ing. Iron­i­cally, the suc­cess of Obama, a black, and Sotomayor, Latina, epit­o­mizes the avail­abil­ity of the Amer­i­can Dream to minori­ties as well as the great­ness of America. […]

Despite Sotomayor’s heart­warm­ing story, Repub­li­cans MUST have the courage to say “NO!” to this rad­i­cal, extreme left, agenda-​​driven nominee.

Like Sotomayor, I too lived in the projects. Allow me to share the tale of why I am a proud black conservative. […]

So when I hear politi­cians pan­der­ing to the so-​​called poor of Amer­ica, it turns my stom­ach. I’ve wit­nessed the dete­ri­o­ra­tion of the human spirit, wasted lives and suf­fer­ing that hap­pens when gov­ern­ment becomes “daddy.”

Bril­liant! Polit­i­cally cor­rect! Inoffensive!
