Voters fed up with Democrats’ obsession with race

Liz Peek Articles

In a recent interview, Flordia Democrat Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz told Bloomberg that Republicans had no “ideas” to offer American voters, and hence no winning platform going into the midterm elections.

She’s wrong. When polling shows that only 23% of the country thinks we’re headed in the right direction, the opposition party has plenty to talk about.

GOP candidates can offer sensible, time-tested solutions to some of our most pressing problems — like soaring inflation, rampant crime, and the flood of people entering the U.S. illegally. They’ve done it before and they can do it again.

But Republicans can also capitalize on the public’s growing disgust with race-focused policies which reverse our civil rights progress and produce new-age discrimination.

An Economist/YouGov poll shows only 13% of the nation “strongly approves” of Joe Biden’s stance on civil rights.  The demographics of that survey suggest that white and Hispanic Americans are fed up with Biden’s insistence that the U.S. is a “systemically racist” country and the overreaching efforts by the Democrats and the White House to correct racial “inequities.”

The latest salvo came from the New York, where the Department of Health has indicated on its website that that rationing of potentially life-saving therapeutics including monoclonal antibodies and oral antivirals like Paxlovid and Molnupiravir should take into account race and ethnicity.

The guidance from the department includes this statement: “Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor, as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19.”

In other words, because some groups have a higher incidence of disease and because we have hypothesized that those unequal outcomes stem from past inequities as opposed to poor diet or other factors, we may withhold scarce treatments from white people.

This suggestion is offensive, but it did not originate in Albany. On January 21 last year, newly-inaugurated President Joe Biden signed an executive order “Ensuring an Equitable Pandemic Response and Recovery” which vowed to tackle “severe and pervasive health and social inequities in America…”

In the order, Biden established a “COVID-19 Health Equity Task Force” tasked with rooting out racism in our approach to the coronavirus.” 

The task force was charged, along with various other agencies, of collecting “equity data” and making sure vaccines, therapeutics and tests were distributed “equitably.”

Voters might speculate that if our health authorities had been less consumed with ferreting out speculative racial bias they might have done a better job of organizing testing, for instance, or informing the public about the efficacy of vaccines instead of relying on data from Israel and other countries.

Health departments have not been the only groups plunged into racial controversy. Schools and teachers’ unions are engaged in mortal combat between those who want kids to learn to read and do math and those who would indoctrinate them in critical race theory.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is urging her state’s legislature to pass legislation guaranteeing no university or school system in her state will teach “That any race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin is inherently superior or inferior” nor that “individuals… are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.”

In other words, her bill proposes that no kid would be demeaned or demonized because of the color of their skin or because of something done two hundred years ago by their ancestors. Can anyone possibly disagree with that? As Noem said in an interview, “Americans believe ‘all men are created equal,’ and we also believe the American dream is available to all regardless of race, color, or national origin.”

This would not seem controversial. But activists across the nation perceive this bill, and Noem, as a dire threat.

When New Hampshire passed a similar bill, the state was sued by the National Education Association’s New Hampshire affiliate and the American Federation of Teachers.

Leftists like those leading the teachers’ unions view Noem and others as jeopardizing their purposeful destruction of the progress made over many decades by our civil rights leaders, which have been codified by law. Martin Luther King, who in 2013 famously dreamed of a day when his children would not “be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character,” would be horrified. These people insist that those children be judged solely by the color of their skin.

Why would teacher unions push racial discord? Because it advances Democratic candidates, who have worked overtime to solidify their hold on minority voters. They push racial grievances because that’s all they’ve got.

Blue state officials have been unable to significantly narrow racial gaps in income or employment in their jurisdictions, not because of “systemic” discrimination but because their policies allow crime to run riot, discouraging investment in minority neighborhoods and they tolerate inner city schools which fail to educate black and brown kids.

Republicans should and can do better on issues of importance to minority voters, such as reforming controversial police tactics. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., proposed a sensible package of regulations to that end but was rebuffed by Democrats terrified of losing their grip on what they see as a potent issue. GOP candidates should campaign on adopting Scott’s proposal.

Republicans can also vow to overturn wrong-headed Democrat policies that have enabled a crime wave in our big cities, and especially in minority neighborhoods.

A survey of Minneapolis residents this fall showed Black voters more opposed to reducing police presence than white voters. African-Americans also rejected the alternative of a “Department of Public Safety” while white citizens approved that idea.

GOP candidates can also run on school choice, which is universally popular, and especially within minority communities.

Democrats have overplayed the race card while failing to deliver solutions. Voters will make that clear come November.

Inflation is worldwide and COVID induced.

3/7

Swamp Think

Peek's article posted today on the Fox News website did not mention one word about President Trump's accomplishment of not only leading the way to American Energy Independence but for the country to become net exporters of the energy we and our allies could really use now.

Under President Trump, oil was in the low 40s (while on the same page, oil traders are now predicting as high as $200/barrel this month!), gas in our tanks cost below two bucks, inflation was under two percent and gas station attendant Putin with an economy about the size of Italy's and who is totally dependent on the price of energy was placed in an economic cage… by President Trump.

Instead Peek gives credit to media Saint Obama for his "all the above" strategy which consistent with how he operated was all campaign talk with ZERO follow through.

Does Peek not remember that Saint Obama's response to Putin invading Crimea was to send blankets.

If you want a quick read on Swamp Think, check in with Fox News.

From the Murdoch boys and Paul Ryan on down, no one is pushing the self-serving, elite globalists agenda of running the world as their personal piggy bank harder than Fox News.

And how are the globalists doing at managing world affairs?

No Trump, No Trump Doctrine

There's a growing rumble, by the minute, from people all over the planet who are suddenly missing Trump's policies, not necessarily Trump.

First, Trump's policies, domestic and foreign, were clear and common-sense driven which is anathema to the Swamp control freaks who thrive on complication and confusion to mask their real agendas and who they're really working for.

Second, the hypocrites who are now lamenting Trump's policies are the same, domestic and foreign, who fought Trump every inch of the way to prevent the implementation of policies that clearly worked.

Third, without Trump the fighter, no Trump policies would have ever seen the light of day.

And without what is now collectively the Trump Doctrine, what clear metric would we have to truly understand the depth and devastation of the Biden/Swamp debacle?

Don't you know that the global supply chain story is done on purpose for there to be empty shelves at the grocery stores and what not to screw with the public. This is done by the world economic Forum with the likes of Klaus Schwab Bill Gates and George Soros and their ilk

YOU are the delusional personality, dear. Sticking it against the US to please 🖕trump and putin. Disgusting anti American.

Maybe Liz you would support some immigration reform , you bitch about not having enough servers in your entitled selfish world , oh and you are against mask wearing too , how trumpian of you, the pandemic is all a hoax to you , just dont get sick out there might not be any hospital beds for you . The drs and nurses are sick and tired of taking care of anti mask anti vax selfish repubs Go claim your Darwin Award .

Progressives got hammered on Election Day- but that was only the latest big defeat. What does this mean for Dems? Can Joe pivot? (spoiler-probably not)

Liz Peek: Progressives' drubbing opens door to (unlikely) Biden pivot, changing of the guard

They may not know it yet, but the ultra-liberal cabal that has choked Democrat politics and humiliated spineless party leaders like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has lost its mojo.

Joe Biden wanted to be an historic president- and he has done that. Worst ratings slide of any president since WWII.
He (or whoever is running WH) doesn’t care about voters’ top issues – instead Team Biden obsessing about climate change, gender and race.
No wonder he’s in trouble!

Liz Peek: Biden vs. Americans – his priorities, like climate change, ignore top worries of most voters

Voters are worried about inflation, jobs, crime, education and our open border, while the Biden White House is laser-focused on climate change, transgender rights, racism and reducing inequality.

Climate change is important.
The GOP may not care about it now, but their children will.
He is trying to get an infrastructure bill through.
He has had issues with Afghanistan, but what else could he do
The people who are taking over Afghanistan were released by the previous administration.
I am sure that Biden is not perfect but he is better than Trump.

The great days turned to very bad days in less than a year.
Congress needs a flip to GOP next year to stop the craziness

Your bias is ridiculous. Makes you a bad writer. Btw avg teacher pay is way above 31000. Sensationalize much?
