Media, Democrats slur against Hispanic and black Republicans

 Fox News:

Non-White Republicans have been dismissed and demonized by Democrats and their mainstream media allies simply because they favor conservative views while simultaneously being Black or Hispanic, and they say they've had enough.

"It's unbelievable to see the media treat us this way," Republican candidate for Congress in Texas' 28th District Cassy Garcia told Fox News Digital.

As the midterms finally come to a close with Election Day next week, they're taking stock of some of the coverage they've seen from mainstream outlets and pundits. And it's often not been pretty.

Garcia believes many media members simply assume Black and Hispanic Americans should be Democrats. She pointed to ABC News’ "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin saying earlier this year that a Black Republican was an "oxymoron" and she didn't "understand" Black or Latino conservatives as a key example.

ABC'S SUNNY HOSTIN CONDEMNED BY BLACK, LATINO REPUBLICANS FOR DISPARAGING REMARKS: 'THAT'S RACISM RIGHT THERE'

"We saw that play out, right, with The New York Times when they interviewed me, Monica and Mayra [Flores], and they called us ‘far-right Latinas’ because we grew up in a conservative household, because we went to church. And so when they talk about this oxymoron about Black conservatives, at the end of the day, we are conservatives… we love this country so much."

De La Cruz believes Hostin’s "oxymoron" remark proves how "out of touch these elitist Democrat liberals" in the media really are.

"They don't realize that the everyday American is myself and Cassy Garcia," Texas House candidate Monica De La Cruz told Fox News Digital.

"I think that the liberal media has just gone so far to the left and out of touch with the everyday American that they don't realize that they have become offensive to people just like me," De La Cruz said. "People don't want to hear that garbage from them because they don't relate, and it's just simply not true, and it's offensive."

The New York Times offended Hispanic conservatives earlier this year when it covered Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, Garcia and De La Cruz as the "rise of the far-right Latina." On Sunday, Atlanta-area pastor Jamal Bryant called Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker the "lowest caricature of a stereotypical broken Black man as opposed to somebody who is educated and erudite and focused." When the insult was covered by USA Today, it wasn’t painted as a disparaging remark. Instead, the paper labeled the comments "fiery" and put a spotlight on congregants who "cheered, clapped and nodded heads" in the church's pews.
...

These brave candidates deserve respect and they also deserve the votes.  I grew up around Hispanics and they are patriotic Americans.  I served in the Marine corps with blacks and Hispanics who are true patriots.  The suggestion that there is something wrong with them running as Republicans is absurd.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
