I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. — Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Check out Blog For Democracy’s List of candidates for the Democratic Party of Georgia.
I like how they list the race of everyone running. So much for not being judged by the color of their skin.
And check out this bit of PC silliness:
according to the State Bylaws, a gender balance must be preserved between the Chair and 1st Vice Chair positions. Such that, if a man is elected Chair then State Committee members will only be allowed to vote for female 1st Chair candidates and vice versa if a woman is elected as Chair.
So the presence or absence of a penis is more important to the Democrats than who is qualified to hold the position. No wonder they are losing ground in Georgia.
While I laugh at this silliness, it does bother me. Without a capable opposition party the Republicans in this state will eventually develop the arrogance that infected the national Republicans.

If the Republicans in Georgia develops the arrogance like congressional republicans, they will just have to learn their lesson like the GOP on capitol hill.

The problem is it won’t just be the arrogant GOP officials that will lose. It will be teenagers who are pushed out of the job market by minimum-wage laws. It will be kids in failing schools who will find their charter schools shut down. It will be all of use when we need quick access to health care and must wait four weeks for a MRI which could save a life.
