‘There is a constant drumbeat from the so-called left that seeks to whip up racial hatred in the States. Not just racial hatred, but disdain and fear of fundamental human rights – not just human rights for the so-called white supremacists but even for the so-called people of color. (And more and more we hear the claim that not only are Caucasians all white supremacists, but apparently so are most of Asian and AmerInd ancestry: at least those with a Hispanic heritage.)
A recent example of this is found at a “black” news site, with a commentary called “Gun Control: My Fellow Americans – Why I don’t sing ‘America the Beautiful.’
As is usual with hoplophobic, hoploclastic screeds, the article is filled with untruths and exaggerations, and claims obviously false on their face. Of course, Microsoft felt it imperative to promote it by reposting so that anyone using a Microsoft browser has the headline thrown into their face.

An honest (at least in this matter) but perhaps less than tactful State senator – 3 years ago! – was blunt about the always popular issue of “women’s choice.” As recently reported, this guy Durr wrote “A woman does have a choice! Keep her legs closed,” in a 2020 Facebook post. He opposes abortion – killing babies before (or while) they are born.
Of course, the pro-abortion forces howled loudly then. And now, with more elections looming, they are howling again. That is to be expected.
But the real point is that Republicans in New Jersey are also barking about it. As the story above reports: “Republicans in New Jersey are crying foul, claiming that this is oh, so unfair. State Sen. Vince Polistina, who’s named in the Democratic ads, called them ‘political hack jobs’ and claimed they’re ‘lying to voters.’ Another group of Republicans issued a joint statement saying that Durr’s statements were ‘offensive and unacceptable’ and ‘don’t represent us or what we believe in any way.'”
