The Media's Vile Attacks on Conservative Assimilationists
Townhall.com ^ | June 26, 2015 | Michelle Malkin

I have had enough of smug liberal elites wrapped in their "Celebrate Diversity" banners tearing down minority conservatives.

Look in the mirror, media and academia bigots. Your own reflexive racism and divisive rhetoric are poisoning public discourse. There's nothing "progressive" about attacking the children and grandchildren of immigrants who proudly embrace an American identity.

We are not "self-hating." You just hate what we believe.

The most recent grenade tossed by the jack-booted Enforcers of Ethnic Authenticity came from The Washington Post this week. The Beltway fish-wrapper hyped a 2,100-word investigation of GOP Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal with a condescending quote from Professor G. Pearson Cross, who sneered: "There's not much Indian left in Bobby Jindal."

Has pallid Professor Cross invented an ambient diagnostic test to measure sufficiently acceptable levels of ethnicity?

The Post quoted a grand total of one disgruntled Democratic donor who railed against Jindal for "forgetting" his "heritage" and his "roots." But that was more than enough for the apartheid-lite adherents to heed the dog whistle immediately. The Post's splashy attack on Jindal's assimilationist ethic spawned a vile Twitter hashtag game: #BobbyJindalIsSoWhite.

Left-wing racists mocked his skin color, his kids and his decision to change his name from "Piyush" to "Bobby." A New York Times digital editor, Shreeya Sinha, gleefully linked to a BBC compilation of "The best of #BobbyJindalisSoWhite." NBC News gloated over tweets from liberal Indian-Americans who mocked the accomplished governor, Rhodes scholar and father of three as a "Jindian."

It's the same old, same old from radical academics and reporters who spurned assimilation as a common goal long ago. As I've long observed, the media-ivory tower complex's fidelity lies with bilingualism (a euphemism for native language maintenance over English-first instruction), ethnic militancy, extreme multiculturalism and a borderless continent.

If we conservatives "of color" refuse to promote the welfare state, unfettered abortion, affirmative action and massive immigration, we are guilty of "selling out."

Conversely, if I point out that my skin is far darker than that of the TV progressives of pallor who presume to know more than me about what it's like to experience prejudice, I'm accused of exploiting my ethnicity.

We're coconuts, bananas and Oreos (brown, yellow or black on the outside and "white" on the inside).

We're accused of "thinking" and "acting" white if we quote the Constitution, shoot, hunt, oppose high taxes, homeschool, take personal responsibility or demand that government leave us alone.

You can't win with these insane identity-mongers who preach compassion and peace while practicing vicious demagoguery. Black conservatives are "Uncle Toms." Jindal is an "Uncle Bobby." And GOP Gov. Nikki Haley, born to Indian Sikh parents, has been derided as a "female Uncle Tom." Jindal is "trying to be white" even though his parents are Indian and his wife's parents are both from India. Meanwhile, haters have accused me of being an "Auntie Tomasina" for marrying outside my race and taking my husband's name.

Marriage choice and marriage equality are sacred rights for everyone except minority conservatives.

Jindal and Haley are just the latest targets. Last month, it was son of Cuban immigrants Ted Cruz. White liberal journalist Mark Halperin took it upon himself to drill Texas GOP Sen. Cruz on his "favorite Cuban food" and demanded that he welcome socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders to the presidential race "en Espanol."

Que estupido.

The civility police and tolerance mob find nothing wrong with their ad hominem assaults and vulgar litmus tests. They're just trying to make the world safe from the liberated minds of minority conservatives. Those of us who dare to succeed in America without relying on tribalist entitlements must be dragged back and down by the resentful, seething crabs in the collectivist bucket.

We are scorned for abandoning the militant hyphenated fetishism of the left.

We are punished for rejecting rigid boxes and boundaries and one-drop blood rules and permanent castes.

Assimilation is a Class A felony in the liberal rulebook and a threat to the Democratic grievance racket. Tell me who the real racists and bigots are again.

I listened carefully to Jindal’s announcement speech.

He’s the real deal. The article and the vicious attacks are the proof.

I did too, and yes he is. I don’t know yet though if I will vote for him or not.

“The article and the vicious attacks are the proof.”

No one can deny the anti-American, anti-white elites will try to cut anyone off at the knees who threatens them in some way. The usual tactic right out of the gate is ridicule and mocking.

Yep, a tell-tale sign.

At the risk of redundancy, anyone who made statements such as ‘he’s forgetting his white roots’ or ‘he’s betraying the white race’ would be Public Enemy Number One in minutes.

I used to admire and support Nikki Haley.

Unfortunately, she’s “grown,” as evidenced by her willingness to throw Southerner’s and their heritage down the stairs.

So long, toots.

That gawdawful response he gave to the SOTU speech a few years ago still scares me. He is always a step or two from imploding under the weight of his own wonkiness.

I think he would be an ideal HHS Secretary. He has what it takes to start whacking down the kudzu.

She could have asked the idiot reporters to explain why a symbol of southern diversity can be unfairly trashed, while ANY symbol of non American culture must be worshiped. She could do her job and defend free speech.

Instead she did the dirty work of the leftists. She bowed to the altar of PC.

One might ask, if the Confederate Battle Flag was such an evil symbol, why was no one even talking about it until the church shootings? If one was really concerned about what “triggered” this monster Roof, then we should ban CNN.

#Rules for Radicals

5- “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

6- (Social media attacks) “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

13- “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Out of Many. One.

What is a White Person?

Northern German? Scottish? Polish?

Do Spaniards count? What if you have Italian and Danish Grandparents?

What if you are Half White and Half Asian? Like Michelle Malkin's Kids are. She is a Filipina, who has so much Spanish influence she could be an Heir to the Spanish Throne.

There is no true race other than the Human one.

100 years ago when people came to this country they ADDED to America's Culture, Polish Sausages next to Frankfurters and washed it down with Irish Whiskey.

Where the Divisions of the Old World could be done away with in the Land of Opportunity.

Divide and Conquer however is what is needed in Marxism. Keep that Class difference and play it up. Focus on the Differences rather than the Similarities.

First, You are right.

With that out of the way, there is exactly one way to deal with this insanity. The word “No”. It’s something Americans of all stripes have either forgotten or been brainwashed/browbeaten into avoiding for fear of offense.

Once we begin using the word NO and it’s directives with liberals the world begins to improve.

Examples:

Gun control? “No.”
Gay everything? “No.”
Forced atheism? “No.”
Racist bullshit? “No.”

Tell them no. I don’t accept your crap and I am not going to accept your crap regardless of what buzzwords you hurl.

There are other words we need to readopt in the language. “Good”, “Bad”, “Right”, “Wrong” And even an acronym or two. Like “STFU”.

Lastly, never, ever be afraid to offend a liberal. In fact, offending a liberal daily should be a bucket list priority item. We must reintroduce them to the concept that their offense is absolutely not a concern to anyone but themselves. If the day comes that they learn to behave above the level of a rabid animal, we can moderate a bit and begin treating them according to their reformed actions as the situation dictates.

This is a well known, studied and used psychological/behavior modification tactic known as “negative reinforcement.” And it works every time it’s tried. You increase or decrease the level of negative reinforcement as required. It was refined/adapted in modern times for use in dealing with the mentally disabled. Liberals are above all else, mentally disabled. Ergo it is the correct tool for the job.

The more I read of Mrs Malkin and Rafael Cruz (both father and son), it gives me hope that maybe the Hispanic community is not completely given over to Communism...

But we need to do something about the illegal aliens in *my* midst...

(It’s gone to the point that a lot of employers think *I* am an illegal—I even went to the INS E-Verify Self-Check, just to make sure; everything checks out fine...)
