I sat and watch Duh-val Patrick take the stage at the Democratic National Convention, and many thought/questions came to mind.  The one that was primary in my mind was: What's so special about Duh-val Patrick that earns him a prime time slot at the DNC?

 

I mean, let's be reasonable here for a second.  Has the first half of his first term in his first political office been a stellar success? Ummmmm...NOT!!!  He began by buying himself an expensive luxury car at our expense, followed it by furnishing his State House Office with expensive furniture and drapes, at our expense, then culminated his first few months of taxpayer supported "shop-aholism" with hiring a personal secretary for his wife on the taxpayer dole.  Took this little boy three times with his hand caught in the cookie jar to learn that Mommy and Daddy ain't giving out unlimited cookies....

 

Let's look at his legislative record....OOPS...there isn't one.

 

Let's look at his fiscal management...OOPS...he's spending again...How many employees have been added to the State payrole while he's been in office?  The largest percentage at Mass Highway?  In one of the Unions who bankrolled his campaign? HMMM....

 

OK, his platform of reduction of property taxes?  He ran based partly on that right?  Opps...my local property taxes went up 15% last year...OUCH!!!

 

So...I ask myself...What are Duh-val's qualification to be "hired" to speak, in prime time, at the DNC?  He has none.

 

What I'm going to say here is as politically incorrect as anything you've ever read here (at least on the blog side!!!).  And what I'm going to say is as factually accurate as anything that I've ever said. 

Duh-val Patrick took the podium at the DNC last evening for one reason and one reason only:  He's black.  How sad is that folks?  You see, what you really saw was the cultural end product of a well intentioned social policy gone bad.  Affirmative Action.

In our cultural zeal to mend the historical wounds of slavery and racism, we have re-invented racism!!!  Ya see folks, when one of the major political parties, at its convention to pick a Presidential candidate, picks a failed Governor who is black to speak on prime time, they are sending the subtle message out that "This is the best it gets..."

Dammit...it isn't.  We have plenty of competent black, hispanic...end the litany of ethnic groups..folks who could have spoken last night.  The Democrats just can't find one in their ranks....

Affirmative Action has failed in the ranks of the people who created it....
