Racism, Hypocrisy and Democrat Double-Standards

 

 

Things I learned today: white Democrat congressmen are higher up on the exemption totem pole than black athletes when it comes to being charged with assault. As D.C. police have yet to file charges or take into custody the monster from South Carolina – Democrat Bob Etheridge. (Video: camera 1, camera 2) Meanwhile, Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young already faces a $500 misdemeanor assault charge from Dallas Police for punching a guy at a DFW bar. Apparently Young’s main mistake was that of his career path. Had he simply been a Democrat in Congress all would be forgiven. Heck, he could even drown a girl if he were a rich, white Kennedy.

 

Apparently Democrats agree with this status quo, too, as they line up to defend their criminal compatriot. And, following the time-honored Democrat tradition of naked hypocrisy, Rep. Etheridge has long campaigned on "protecting the children". Yeah, just like Democrats protect the poor and minorities by keeping them on the poverty plantation and cynically using them as political pawns.

 

Did Young deserve to be charged? It certainly appears so, but so does Congressman Etheridge the Boy-Slayer. Is this a case for social justice? No, nothing would be a case for social "justice". So-called social justice would call for every congressman to be arrested when one is accused of a crime. Social justice has been played out for much the the 20th Century, although we usually know its results by another name: genocide. No, real justice would suffice for a change. Equal protection under the law is the law of the land and it’s time for it to be enforced, and that doesn’t mean just being sorry you got caught.
