The party that regards blacks and hispanics as inferior. In Joseph Farah's words, meet the "Racist Democrats":

It has been 18 months since I postulated my theory about why the Democrats in the U.S. Senate are filibustering President Bush's judicial nominees.

I said it then, and I say it now – many of the leading Democratic politicians in America are racist to the core.

While, superficially, the Democratic Party courts the black vote with promises of favoritism and charity, there's always been something condescending about this attitude. There's always been something patronizing about it. There's always been something insulting about it.

I've suspected there are essentially two motivations behind the Democrats' promotion of racial preferences – or what they call "affirmative action":

It's a self-empowerment plan to keep minority votes on the new Democratic Party plantation by offering them special race privileges.

It is rooted in a visceral feeling that minorities really aren't capable of achieving on their own.

In any case, both those motivations are racist. They are unacceptable without transforming America away from the principle of individual rights to a new vision of collective group privileges.

Two stories support the demonstrated racism of the Democratic Party brass.

When Senate Democrats successfully blocked three of President Bush's nominees for federal appeals-court judgeships in a 40-hour debate initiated by Republicans, Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., told reporters that he would continue to oppose any "Neanderthal that is nominated by the president for any federal court."
Now I don't happen to believe Neanderthals ever existed. But, if they did, the implication is they were something less than human – beings lower on the evolutionary scale.

Kennedy was referring to men and woman like Miguel Estrada, a Hispanic, Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen, a woman, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Carolyn Kuhl, a woman, and California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown, a black woman.

Kennedy had demonstrated his utter contempt for women in the past – for instance, by leaving a drowning woman and the scene of an accident. But it seems to me Kennedy was speaking in racist code language here. Could "Neanderthal" be the new "N" word he and his colleagues use to discuss minorities who are disloyal to their Democratic Party patrons and others who leave the "progressive plantation"?

Then, there were the leaked memos to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee from the special-interest lobby groups with whom the politicians work so closely.

In one communication to Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Estrada was singled out as "especially dangerous" because "he is Latino."

It seems to me this memo and Kennedy's racist exhortations were proof positive that the Democratic Party has nothing but contempt for minorities who can think for themselves, who are ruled by their own consciences and who fail to pledge allegiance to the so-called "progressive" political agenda.

In fact, it is obvious the Democrats become ruthlessly racist against those minority nominees who cross them politically.

What the Democrats like Durbin and Kennedy have managed to do is to immunize themselves against racism charges by currying favor with those hand-picked minorities who pledge absolute loyalty to their party.

Other minorities are not even worthy of the back of the bus in the eyes of the new racist Democrats. Other minorities don't even get in the schoolhouse door if the new racist Democrats have anything to say about it. Other minorities are degraded with sub-human characterizations and racist code words. Other minorities are simply not welcome.

Here we are 18 months later.

Miguel Estrada long ago removed himself for consideration from the bench. But opposition by the Democrats remains firm to Janice Rogers Brown, the 56-year-old daughter of an Alabama sharecropper who became a member of the California Supreme Court.

Is she qualified for the job on the federal bench? If anything, she is overqualified. Janice Rogers Brown should be sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court right now.

And that's just what the Democrats fear more than anything else – a mature, black woman who loves her country and the Constitution.

The Democratic Party is still very much the original Ku Klux Klan Party. They won't tolerate any black or Hispanic in American life who can think for himself. Once on the Liberal Plantation, no slave is allowed to escape. No wonder these liberal racists hate blacks like Ted Hayes. They'd fatally undermine the party's grip on the colored vote throughout the country. That's why people of color must be reminded to stay in their place if they know what's good for them or else. Racist to the core? Indeed.

As they say, "The acorn does not fall far from the tree." :o)

Hurdles blend sweet victory, bitter defeat

ATHENS, Greece - They stretched, they leaned, they reached out desperately into the sweet, sultry evening breeze with every last ounce of energy. But American Joanna Hayes and Canadian Perdita Felicien, both gold medal favorites, were going in totally opposite directions.

In the finals of the women's 100-meter hurdles Tuesday, they combined to create human athletic drama: the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

For Felicien, it was the worst moment of her competitive life, a Did Not Finish in the 2004 Athens Olympics. Fifteen meters from the start, one of her ruby-red spiked slippers crashed into the center of the first hurdle, nearly splitting it. She plunged onto the track, dragging down Russia's Irena Shevchenko, who was on her right in lane six.

You could see her reaching ... leaning ... grasping ... all to no avail.

For Hayes, it was the most exhilarating 12.37 seconds of her competitive life. She blazed down the track and was rewarded with an Olympic record and an Olympic gold medal for beating Ukrainian Olena Krasovska (12.45) and American Melissa Morrison (12.56).

She bounded across the finish line, then joyfully reached for the sky.

The 75,000 spectators gasped in one breath, then cheered in another.

Hayes, who spent much of June and July training in suburban St. Louis with Bobby and Jackie Joyner Kersee, danced and pranced and skipped around the track, wrapped in the stars and stripes. With blissful tears streaming down from under her dark sunglasses onto her cheeks, she waved to all the flag-waving spectators and posed for all the photographers who raced behind her.

Unlike other American medal winners, Hayes never bothered to try to be cool and dispassionate. She practically bubbled and floated on her victory lap. She laughed. She cried. Then she laughed some more. She acted like this was the greatest day of her life.

Of course, it was.

"Oh boy, this feels soooo good, better than I imagined," she said, beaming, after the race, clinging to a small American flag in her hand, wearing a larger one like a patriotic shawl. "I know (the USOC) wants us to be low-key and all, but I'm sorry, you only get one chance to run that victory lap. I have no idea if I'll ever have another Olympic moment, so hey, I told myself last night, 'If you get the chance, enjoy it.'"
