Uneducated Rep. Linda Sanchez cites white supremacist groups for AZ law

Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif says that white supremacist groups are responsible for Arizona's new law that cracks down on illegal aliens. She told a Democrat Club on Tuesday that white supremacist groups were influencing lawmakers to create laws that would lead to discrimination.

Sanchez, who is of Mexican descent stated, "There's a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups. It's been documented. It's not mainstream politics." (audio)

She also claims that "It creates a Jim Crow system where based on the color of your skin you could be treated as a second-class citizen or harassed based on how you look."

What she is trying to do is divert attention away from the original topic, or a logical fallacy called a red herring where the person attempts to change the subject. Unfortunately, for her, it pulls back the curtain of just how uneducated Linda Sanchez is.

Well, Linda, let's look at some history about the Jim Crow Laws and who created them.

Many people think that the Jim Crow laws began in 1890 when Mississippi wrote a disfranchisement provision into its state constitution. This is not quite correct and actually began shortly after the Civil War when most Southern states adopted "Black Codes", to limit the freedoms of former slaves. The reason why these "Black Codes" never gained momentum is because federal troops were in the former Confederate states during the reconstruction, as well as the recent passage of the 14th and the 15th Amendments, the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 1875 and the three Enforcement Acts of 1870 and 1871. It's noteworthy to add that the Enforcement Act of 1871 is also referred to as the Ku Klux Klan Act

The Jim Crow Laws were created by the Democrat Party (The White Mans Party) and were effective in 1876 and came to an end when the Civil and Voting Rights Act of 1965 were passed, thanks to the Republican Party for pushing them through both houses of Congress.

Even though blacks were still elected to local offices during the 1880's, the Democrat Party were passing laws that forced voter registration and elections to be more restrictive.  As a result, participation of blacks and poor whites significantly decreased. Between 1890 and 1910, the former Confederate states enacted poll taxes, literacy and comprehension tests, as well as residency and record keeping requirements which disfranchised most blacks and tens of thousands of poor whites.

And it was all created by the Democrat Party, Linda. Of course, I wouldn't expect you to know any of this because your agenda is to whitewash this history and replace with it your own.

You most likely haven't read SB1070. If you had and read our federal laws, you may just happen to notice that they very nearly mirror one another.

Here are some of OUR FEDERAL LAWS.

Beyond Absurd

This is what Rep. Linda Sanchez said about the California wildfires:

This has got to be in the top ten stupidest things ever uttered by a human being. Had she bothered to pull her head out her ass, she would know that eco nutjobs are preventing the clearing of underbrush and increasing the likelihood of human caused forest fires.

The below is excerpted from Michelle Malkin's site:

The GAO examined 762 U.S. Forest Service (USFS) proposals to thin forests and prevent fires during the past two years. According to the study, slightly more than half the proposals were not subject to third-party appeal. Of those proposals subject to appeal, third parties challenged 59 percent.

Appeals were filed most often by anti-logging groups, including the Sierra Club, Alliance for Wild Rockies, and Forest Conservation Council. According to the GAO, 84 interest groups filed more than 400 appeals of Forest Service proposals. The appeals delayed efforts to treat 900,000 acres of forests and cost the federal government millions of dollars to address.

Forest Service officials estimate they spend nearly half their time, and $250 million each year, preparing for the appeals and procedural challenges launched by activists.

“The report demonstrates that the appeals needlessly delay federal efforts to prevent wildfires, and if the process is not streamlined, millions of acres will be lost this summer,” said Senate Energy Committee Chairman Pete Domenici (R-New Mexico).

“The American people will no longer tolerate management by wildfire,” Domenici added.

“This finding is nothing short of appalling, especially when you think of the catastrophic losses suffered in last year’s [2002] horrific fire season alone,” said House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo (R-California).

“These were not only losses of forest, endangered species, and wildlife habitat, they were losses of human life and family property,” Pombo said.

I guess in a sense humans are the cause, particularly when environmental whackjobs are the very people that are causing it.
