Early on the Democrats claimed Estrada isn't Hispanic enough. In other words, to them, he is the wrong kind of Hispanic. This is from a year ago.
Posted on Fri, May. 03, 2002 A fine judicial nominee (Miguel Estrada)
Rodolfo F. Acuña argues in his April 26 Otherviews column that Miguel Estrada, President Bush's nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, would be a poor choice because he is ''not representative of Latinos.'' [snip] • ``Estrada does not identify with the struggles or aspirations of most U.S. Latinos. He appears not to have experienced discrimination or unequal educational experiences.''
I am done responding to nanny. If he insists on thinking the way she does about Estrada, then let her.
But I bring up a quote of Reagan's:
"I urge you to beware the temptation of pride - the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil."
This is from

This line is basically a statement against moral relativism. In the midst of the cold war some were saying the soviets are doing bad things, but so is the US, so it's all a big misunderstanding. Moral relativism is basically the refusal of moral truths, right and wrong. Reagan called his audience to support the US as opposed to taking the "can't we just get along stance"
