Smart suggests Sotomayor is "Latino". Well, no. She's Latina.

Gil makes me chuckle when he refers to Sonia Sotomayor as "Latino". Anyone that knows the first thing about Spanish knows that a woman should be referred to as "Latina".

This link says "In the United States, the term is in official use in the ethnonym Hispanic or Latino, defined as "a person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin regardless of race."[5][6]" So how is this a racial issue again?

Remember, Sonia Sotomayor was born in the Bronx, New York. Last time I checked, that isn't part of Latin America. But, OK, she has some Latin heritage and ancestory.

Think of it like this. It's sort of like electing an "African-American" President who's mom was a white woman from Kansas and he grew up on a tropical island in the Pacific where he was likely never exposed to slavery, segregation or racial hardship. Yet everytime the media mentions "he's the first African-American", they're trying to paint that exact racial image in an exploitative way.

They're doing basically the same with Sotomayor and "Hispanic". Nevermind that Democrats blocked Miguel Estrada in 2003 from the court using a partisan filibuster for the first time in history. That couldn't possibly be racially motivated (except for the memo that proved that it was racially motivated).

Anyway, Gil then goes on to refer to "Hispanics" in his column. This really made me chuckle. What does "Hispanic" mean? Well, the Romans called the Iberian Peninsula "Hispania", which the word "Hispanic" is derived from.

The interesting thing is that Portugal was also a part of Hispania. We've had a justice on the Supreme Court who's ancestors came from Portugal. His name was Benjamin Cardozo in the 1930's. So whenever the media says "Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic justice", it isn't actually true.



The first justice on the Supreme Court with Hispanic heritage, Benjamin Cardozo, appointed by Herbert Hoover (R).

Orders being revoked for soldiers challenging Obama eligibility

http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/news/story/778482.html



A controversial suit brought by a U.S. Army reservist has been joined by a retired Army two-star general and an active reserve Air Force lieutenant colonel.

Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook filed the suit July 8 in federal court here asking for conscientious objector status and a preliminary injunction based upon his belief that President Barack Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is therefore ineligible to serve as president of the United States and commander-in-chief of the U.S. Armed Forces.

However, before the issue got to court, Cook’s orders to deploy to Afghanistan were revoked. Lt. Col. Maria Quon, a public affairs officer with the U.S. Army Human Resources Command-St. Louis, said Tuesday that Cook was no longer expected to report Wednesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Florida for mobilization to active duty. Cook, who claims he is now the victim of retaliation due to his suit, received his mobilization orders to report for active duty at MacDill on Wednesday. From there, he was to go to Fort Benning on Saturday for deployment to Afghanistan.

Steny Hoyer (D) blames Reagan for DC Metro crash

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md, is using the fatal D.C. Metro accident to slam the Reagan administration for failure to adequately fund public transportation a quarter-century ago.

Yet the accident occurred despite the fact that Congress ignored Reagan and funded Metro anyway, CNSNews.com pointed out.

Hoyer was asked during a press briefing Tuesday about the role of Congress in remedying the safety problems that have plagued Washington’s Metrorail system – and about a 2006 National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) report outlining the inability of some subway cars to survive catastrophic crashes.

Hoyer said he was aware of the report, CNSNews.com reported.

“I want to say that to the extent that that contributed to the injuries and the loss of life here, we need to look at that and that will be obviously impetus for making these cars safer,” Hoyer said. “As you know, it’s been 30 years, and as you know, the Reagan administration recommended no further money towards mass transit.”

Hoyer then went on to describe his interpretation of Reagan administration mass transit policy.

“Congress did not adopt that recommendation,” Hoyer said, adding that Congress chose to provide funds anyway.

“In fact, Metro has received probably more federal funds than any other metro system in the country,” he said.

Despite criticizing the 40th president’s stance on federal funding, Hoyer admitted he was not ready to conclude that a lack of resources might have contributed to the accident.

“We don’t know yet whether this was a human error, computer error, (or) equipment error,” he said, “all of which are, I suppose, possible.”

Alert! Sonia Sotomayor nomination may be tied to embryonic stem cell research

Her exhusband is Kevin Edward Noonan, PhD., who is heavily involved in CA and embryonic stem cell research.

In past Roman Catholic tradition, the Aristotelian view that life begins 40 days after conception was adopted by Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas and was maintained by the church for centuries. In 1869, however, a supplanting view that we cannot know with certainty when human life begins became established (Noonan, 1970). This view, which is currently held by the Catholic Church, requires that human life be protected at the earliest possible time, which is taken to be at conception. Protestant denominations hold diverse views: some conservative Protestants reject the use of embryos for research, but most accept ESC research. Moreover, not everyone who rejects embryonic stem cell research is either religious or conservative. Every federal commission (e.g., National Bioethics Advisory Commission, 1999) that has addressed research on human embryos and fetuses has, in light of the many differing perspectives, called for respect for these
entities as forms of human life.

Democratic fundraiser convicted of corruption

In this undated photo released by the U.S. Attorney's Office, former top Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu, second left, is seen with BaracK Obama, center right, before he became President of the United States.

Breaking News on Obama citizenship

Full Story

AP- WASHINGTON D.C. - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama’s qualifications for the presidency, the group “Americans for Freedom of Information” has released copies of President Obama’s college transcripts from Occidental College. Released today, the transcript indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate at the school. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama’s detractors have been seeking.

Update: Photo of Lolo Soetoro found
