Fiorina Approvingly Cites Her Work With Jesse Jackson
The American Spectator ^ | 9/17/2015 | Philip Klein

Posted on 09/17/2015 9:55:49 PM PDT by County Agent Hank Kimball

Via Red State, I find disturbing audio of California Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina, speaking in glowing terms about Jesse Jackson...

"And I thought about something that the Reverend Jesse Jackson said to me several years ago. He very graciously came to the offices of Hewlett Packard to visit me, because we were doing some work together for his Rainbow Coalition. And he said to me, 'You know, Carly, every game is better when everybody gets to play.' And I thought it was such a great way of describing why everything is better when all people, regardless of color or nationality or gender, get to play. Sports are better. Business is better. Politics are better. The world is better when everybody gets to play in things that matter."

This is problematic on several levels. Jackson is a shakedown artist who trumps up charges of racism and then rakes in millions of dollars from corporations who pay him to immunize themselves from such charges. The idea that a well-known Jew hater and racist like Jesse Jackson, who has long ties to Louis Farrakhan, would have any standing as an arbiter of racial tolerance reflects poorly on our society. To be absolutely clear, I'm not suggesting that these remarks make Fiorina herself an anti-semite. But I do think the only way to handle the likes of Jackson is to ostracize them from polite society so that they can no longer make a handsome living by engaging in racial incitement. The fact that Fiorina...felt the need to play the game with Jackson is troubling enough. But it's still worse that she would boast about it years later, refer to him visiting her "very graciously," and then quote him in a way that perpetuates the myth of him as a judge of inclusiveness....

That Jesse Robinson Jackson relative of Michelle Robinson O. Jesse’s half brother is doing life for his part in the black Muslim street gang founded by a Mexican drug cartel that controlled the community O organized. She’s dealing with the worse of worst

Not good. Cooperating with shakedown artists like Jackson is not something she should be bragging about.

HISTORY OF U.S. DEPORTATIONS and REMOVALS

Throughout history, sovereign nations have frequently expelled those people the government considered threats. Many foreign states also have a history of not expelling those threats – but KILLING THEM. We don’t do that here. At least, not yet! But, should those legitimately targeted for expulsion violently resist, we could see that at some point.

Here’s a short list of earlier American actions in that area:

Following the Indian Removal Act of 1830, many members of the “Five Civilized Tribes” did not wish to assimilate. In 1838, President Andrew Jackson began relocating those Indian tribes from the SE US (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, etc.) to the West. We know that today as the “Trail of Tears”, during which over 4,000 Indians perished. Although the debate still rages about the justice of that, the result is always the same when a more technologically advanced culture clashes with a less sophisticated one: The latter loses!
(THOUGHT: Watching Obama’s actions as he weakens America before a world growing stronger, bolder and more technologically advanced, one must wonder if he has a modern day “Trail of Tears” in store for US?)

In the run-up to America’s entry into WWI, the American government began surveillance of German Americans. I can remember my grandfather telling me that, even though in 1916, our family was 3d generation American, they were watched and visited by government agents. Some late arrivals were, in fact, detained on suspicion of espionage and sabotage and a number were deported.

That again happened to many German American families when Hitler began his rampage through Europe. Many were under surveillance by the feds. Our next door neighbor, an older first generation German lady was suspected of being a member of the New York based Nazi “German-American Bund” and visited several times by the feds.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, FDR – whose socialism makes him one of my less favorite presidents – rounded up and interned around 120,000 Japanese America citizens in armed guard and barb wire enclosed camps like Manzanar. The government even confiscated the property of many.
(I would be remiss if I failed to note that many Japanese American sons whose families were interned, joined the armed forces and served with great distinction here and in Europe.)

In the 1954, the Eisenhower Administration expelled several hundred thousand ILLEGAL Hispanics in “Operation Wetback” (whoa, SERIOUSLY UN PC THAT!) initially using 750 federal immigration officers, 300 Jeeps and 7 aircraft. The operation continued for some time thereafter with scattered round-ups of others.

I cite those examples to give contrast to the actions of one Barack Hussein Obama to bring here as many potential enemies as possible before he’s ejected from office. It must stop!

In addition to the Hispanic illegals (whose gang members pose a demonstrable threat to our security), our situation is compounded by Obama’s importation of Muslims who present an even more serious threat. Recall the WTC bombing in 1993? Remember 9/11/2001? How about the thwarted shoe and underwear bombing attempts? How about the Boston Marathon bombing? Then there was the Muslim who tried to blow up Times Square and would have succeeded if an alert cop hadn’t seen smoke from the stupidly employed fuse? I’m certain there are a number we never heard about. Can’t alarm the sheeple, right??

Trust me when I tell you we’ll soon see an exponential increase in the sort of sabotage now ongoing out West and encouraged by the official Al qaeda magazine which urged in 2012 that Muslims here set fire to America and burn us out! Arson is a high value, low apprehension risk form of destruction and drains finite resources and injures or kills those fighting them. Those fights are ongoing as you read this.

One can only guess when the mass killings will resume by a “people” whose goal is to destroy the little Satan (Israel) and then move on the the big Satan (the United States) and who routinely gather – even HERE – to chant “DEATH TO AMERICA!”

Have we learned NOTHING from history?

Don’t answer that. You’ll only frighten yourself and we can’t have that!

BTW,

There’s a recent MSNBC clip with Jeffrey Sonnenfeld. If you can wade through the early Trump bashing Sonnenfeld discusses Fiorina’s claim that he’s a Clintonite. Sonnenfeld has never worked with Clinton’s team, though he has worked with some Republicans and an unpaid adviser.
