One such gatekeeper is Roberto Suro who wrote in a New York Times column that Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can't be considered to really be Latino because they do not subscribe to liberal identity politics.

Lefrtists don't consider Sarah Palin to be a "real woman" either.

The liberal bubble is inflated by lies.

Condoleeza Rice and Allen West aren’t black, either.
