Immigration? Even as the
daughter of (legal) immigrants from India and Jamaica, Kamala has repeatedly
shown that she makes no distinction between the rights and privileges of a
citizen and an illegal alien. Benefits, she claims, belong to
citizens and non-citizens alike.
By Andrew R. Arthur
Joe Biden's choice of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his
running mate has made his path to implement a massive amnesty for millions of
aliens living in the United States much clearer. Expect a massive "parole in place" (PIP) before an
equally massive legalization storm — including for criminal aliens.
Kamala Has Already Struck Out
Even before the Democrat presidential
candidate, Joe Biden, named his choice for vice president, a group of Democrat
Party activists released an unprecedented document outlining their
"rules" for how the media could address issues surrounding the woman
Biden ultimately chose. These guidelines made it abundantly clear
that the media were "required" to handle Biden's choice with kid
gloves. Questions were not to be probing; instead, this veep
candidate, unlike the vicious coverage Sarah Palin endured years ago, was to be
above questioning. With astounding hubris, the Democrats actually
warned the media that they would "monitor coverage" of the female
veep candidate and that anything even slightly critical would be condemned as
"racist and sexist." Hollywood celebrities and the usual
line-up of leftist women's groups (NARAL, Planned Parenthood, etc.) have
promised Kamala, "We've got your back."
Bottom line: Biden is in hiding; Kamala is
untouchable.
This mafia-style intimidation cannot be
allowed to stand. The public needs to know that Kamala's quest, as
in baseball, has already struck out. She has three strikes against
her that are a death knell for her prospects. There is no way, after these
strikes, she should be anywhere near a heartbeat or a brain flare away from the
presidency of America.
1. Opportunistic Career Path — We are not supposed to have noticed (or
it's not supposed to make a difference or matter), but Kamala Harris came into
politics as a mistress under the patronage of the notoriously unethical speaker
of the House in California, Willie Brown. Numerous public servants
in government in California at the time noted that Kamala was a pretty
twenty-something young woman that Brown, a married man in his 60s, regularly
showed off as his mistress at political events. She received
prestigious, powerful, and profitable political appointments in state government
and moved on from there. Anyone who brings up this opportunism is
against her "ambition" and is trying to keep her "in her
place." In short, anyone raising these well documented facts is
both misogynistic and racist.
Kamala is known as being "pragmatic,
rather than principled." Some Democrat strategists claim to be
happy with Kamala as a "messenger" (meaning she is good TV) but
cringe at her inconsistent and problematic "messages" (meaning she is
all over the map on any given issue).
Harris has flip-flopped on issue after
issue, depending on what's politically expedient. She excuses this
inconsistency by saying being a prosecutor is, by its very nature,
"controversial." As a prosecutor, she defended capital
punishment, but she ran for office on an "anti–death penalty"
platform. Her truancy policies were a problem; also her drug
programs. She opposed police body cameras, claiming they
disadvantaged blacks and minorities. She was criticized for siding
with police too often; now she is vocal about police
"brutality." She is now very pro-LGBT and transgender
issues and blames her previous inconsistency on staffers who disregarded her
personal views. She was against decriminalization of "sex
work" before she suddenly advocated for criminalization. Same
with marijuana; she was against it before flippantly claiming that marijuana
brings joy and "we need more joy in the world." She's
taken both sides on whether a convicted terrorist should be able to vote from
prison!
2. Radical Woke Ideologies and Policies
— Many analysts
believe that Kamala Harris will be America's most radical left political
candidate ever. She's consistently among the top two "most
progressive" members of the Senate. She has been called one of
the most radical-left politicians today; pick any pet woke cause, and Kamala
will be farthest left! These policy positions are not only
constitutionally problematic; they are also prohibitively expensive, with a
price tag in the multiple billions of dollars!
Guns? Kamala supports extremist
laws to restrict our 2nd Amendment rights. She advocates a wide
array of increased gun control measures, including executive orders to
implement problematic regulations.
Health care? Kamala
co-sponsored Bernie Sanders's "Medicare for All" health insurance
proposal. She wants to abolish all private health insurance, saying,
"Let's eliminate all of that!" She strongly supports a
single-payer system. Observers note that both her position and
Biden's on the issue have solidified during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Education? Kamala attended
all-white schools until she chose to attend Howard University. She
passed the bar in 1990 and progressed as a prosecutor to become district
attorney of San Francisco thanks to political muscle from her benefactor, Willie
Brown. She advocates for free college and university education for
all — especially for free tuition at historically black colleges and
universities.
Immigration? Even as the
daughter of (legal) immigrants from India and Jamaica, Kamala has repeatedly
shown that she makes no distinction between the rights and privileges of a
citizen and an illegal alien. Benefits, she claims, belong to
citizens and non-citizens alike.
Environment? She joined forces
with the socialist Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York to
require additional regulations on environmental policies.
3. Kavanaugh Hearings Debacle — The final strike is the most
disgraceful. The way Kamala Harris treated Brett Kavanaugh at the
2018 confirmation hearings was the most disrespectful and vicious of the
senators. She stood out at the hearings for her deceitful
questioning and the revolting tone of her accusations. She accepted
the flimsiest of evidence in attacking Kavanaugh – for instance, the
implausible and unsubstantiated accusation of gang rape — and praised an
obviously "deceptively edited video" claiming that Kavanaugh opposed
birth control, claiming that it was all about "punishing women."
Her extreme positions were so bad that she
was actually called out by the left. Her attacks — called fear-invoking lies
and possibly attempts at a presidential audition — were acknowledged as false
and criticized by left-wing PolitiFact and her liberal hometown newspapers, The
San Francisco Chronicle and the Los Angeles Times. As President
Trump said, she was, indeed, "extraordinarily nasty" to Brett
Kavanaugh.
Guy Benson, Townhall political editor,
described her Kavanaugh performance as "particularly demagogic, cynical
and abysmal." In their excellent book, Justice on
Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court,
Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino detailed all the egregious procedural
maneuvers Harris tried in her efforts to get Kavanaugh to commit perjury, as
well as the fawning media coverage.
In a normal election, the veep choice
would be relatively irrelevant, but Joe Biden is not a normal presidential
candidate. At 77, "Gaffe-Prone Joe" Biden has said he'd be
a "transitional" president, and it is generally acknowledged that he
is more likely than other previous candidates to become (sooner rather than
later) incapacitated or unable to serve more than one term. Thus,
Kamala must be viewed as a possible presidential contender. She
fails on every measure — significantly! Leadership? She is
obviously, much like Hillary, a ruthless opportunist willing to do or say
whatever it takes to get ahead. Ideas/Policies? She can
be swayed however the political winds are blowing at the time. Even
her friends explain that she is "not ideological," meaning she
doesn't take principled stances on important
issues. Experience? She has dramatically failed
upward! The media have frequently acknowledged her "history of
flip flopping and deceit."
What Kamala Harris offers in the
veepstakes is a promise to promote a grab bag of assorted radical goals of
every oddball progressive from Bernie to AOC to Obama and be an advocate for
special constituencies — pro-abortion voters, instigators of the BLM movement's
racism, gun control activists, and illegal aliens.
