Liberal Arab Complains Congress Is Too White
Downtrend ^ | January 8, 2015 | Brian Anderson

Two universal truths in the liberal universe are: #1 lefties hate democracy when it works against their wacko agenda and #2 white white men are to blame for everything. Proving these truths brilliantly, Arab American comic Dean Obeidallah wrote an extended bitch-fest for The Daily Beast complaining how the democratic process has cursed us with too many white people (and men) in Congress.

The Unbearable Whiteness Of Congress starts with the fact that the newly sworn in Congress is the most diverse in history, but that’s not good enough for Obeidallah because in liberal land the will of the people doesn’t matter: all representation has to equally match racial, religious, and gender demographics.

The breakdown of the 114th Congress is 80 percent white, 80 percent male, and 92 percent Christian.

Sometimes he’s tan. And sometimes he’s as orange as a sherbert push-up.

When I move around my country I notice that America is very white. I also notice most people aren’t constantly aware of their whiteness.

Your gov isn’t going to deport anyone...

In fact, all the foreigners, Muslims and millions of illegals who’ve been pouring in, are you and your kids replacements.

Have they not made this inordinately clear over the past several decades?

Absolutely not, Molson. Those like Obama and crazy left-wing-loony Black congress members from Atlanta, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Houston may make most look bad. But the voters of Utah and South Carolina elected some good people. And the GOP elected other darker-skinned people like Bobby Jindal and John Boner.

Let’s start with Harry Reid, and to be fair, we’ll toss in John McCain. Figure before we get through half the seats, should have plenty of open seats for any attempt at any racial, religious or gender identity makeup. Elections in November.
