Quota politics …

That’s what we’re headed toward. 

Americans have elected a black President.

Now Hillary is running to become the first female President. 

Given Hillary’s pathological aversion to the truth and her pathetic lack of accomplishments as a Senator and then Secretary of State, she doesn’t have much else to run on.  I suspect people are lining up to support her so they can tell their kids they helped elect America’s first female President; there can’t be any other reason. Becoming the first female President is all she’s got. 

But then again, that’s how Obama got elected. People wanted to prove they weren’t racists by voting for the black guy. Forget that he was a do-nothing backbencher first-term Senator. Forget that he was the product of corrupt Chicago politics, or that his only real work experience was as a community organizer and a college professor.  He had nothing else going for him. 

But he beat out Hillary in the primaries. Based on what, precisely? 

Well he was a fresh face, and she wasn’t. She certainly had more experience than he did yet he held a stronger trump card – he was black and she wasn’t. 

To give the devil her due, Hillary would likely have been a better, more rational and measured President than Obama. Probably, at that time, more like her moderate husband Bill had been.

But in quota politics, black beats female, even though females are more than half the voting public, while blacks are only about 13%. However, that only applies to liberals; black and/or female conservatives don’t count. Liberals dismiss any black and/or female conservatives as no more than race and gender traitors. 

So far there’s no black Democrat running for President.  Just old white Hillary.  In the absence of a black Democrat contender, any female trumps any white male.  In the last Democrat debates the white guys on stage didn’t have a prayer. Biden wouldn’t either.    

So let’s review the bidding to establish a liberal hierarchy using a poker analogy:

One pair:

Sufficiently liberal except on one or two things, like gun control or abortion

One pair, Aces or face cards:

Proven liberal but hawkish on defense

Two pairs: 

Liberal with antiwar, anti-military history

Three of a kind: 

Liberal with antiwar, anti-military history who marched with Dr. King

Straight: 

Liberal, with antiwar, anti-military history, marched with Dr. King, beaten by police

Flush:

Black or bi-racial liberal, with anti-war, anti-military history; raised by single mother

4 of a kind: 

Black or bi-racial female liberal, with anti-war, anti-military history; raised in the ghetto by single mother on welfare

Straight Flush: 

Black or bi-racial female liberal, with anti-war, anti-military history; raised in the ghetto by single illegal immigrant mother on welfare

Royal Flush:

I can’t imagine …

According to this chart, Hillary is currently only holding a max of two pairs, but being female adds the top spin to make those pairs Aces and Kings.  Because of age, it’s getting harder to find some Democrat holding three of a kind or a straight still interested in running for President; there simply aren’t that many Elijah Cummings, Al Sharptons, or Jesse Jacksons around anymore. 

Also, as you can see by this chart, she would beat Biden who would only be holding one pair because he owns guns, plus he’s a white male.

Hillary supporters believe it’s “her turn” and Hillary herself promotes the view that “it’s about time we had a female President.” 

This is simply amazing.  Nobody “deserves” the Presidency just because of their race or, in Hillary’s case, their gender. Nobody should get elected because we haven’t had someone like them as President yet.  Where does this quota mentality end? Will we keep running through various groups – like Native Americans, Orthodox Jews, Pacific Islanders, or the Kardashians – until everybody has their “turn” at being President? 

We’re not discussing something silly like T-ball, where everybody on the team – regardless of ability – automatically gets to play.  We’re talking about the job of President of the United States, not a contestant on American Idol or DTWTS.  This has real impact on us and the world.  Some jerkoff in that office can cause disaster around the globe and get us all killed.    

Then what will be our response?  Whoops? Maybe proving we don’t discriminate against the transgendered by electing Caitlyn Jenner wasn’t wise?  Maybe making a dyslexic person President just to show our support for the learning disabled may not have been our best move? 

I don’t think the world will understand. I know I don’t. Choosing a President should be a very serious business because it has very serious consequences.  The President should never be just the “flavor of the month” or get there on a misguided sympathy vote to right perceived wrongs. 

American voters have tried that and look how well it worked with Obama 

By playing the quota card Hillary may get elected.  If so, for me, I will always feel she got there for all the wrong reasons, as I felt about Obama’s election. 

If someone wins a TV reality show contest they get a nice set of prizes. If someone wins the Presidency they become the most powerful leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

The former is a popularity contest where people often vote for a contestant just because they want to help the perceived underdog. The latter should never be. 

But that’s how too many in the voting public – egged on by a complicit media – see voting for a President.  And we all pay the price.
