They all look alike to Sheila Jackson-Lee (D, TX-18).


[UPDATE]: Ace of AoSHQ makes a point about the Congressional Record that I no longer have to get around to making, and Allahpundit of Hot Air lets us know that this was not the dumbest thing Rep. Jackson-Lee said today.

I was sent this video of Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee’s announcement of the survival of South Vietnam to the present era with a simple “Words escape me.”

Well, that’s why I’m here.

To begin with, may I be blunt? I shall be blunt: Rep. Jackson-Lee is what happens when you mandate gerrymandering as a tool of social policy for forty years. Note that I did not say ‘racial gerrymandering,’ although that’s essentially what majority-minority districting is: if we were drawing up election maps to concentrate as many green-eyed voters in a particular district as possible and waited half a century we’d end up with stunningly idiotic green-eyed Members of Congress, too.  Or redheads, or people with freckles; or anything else based on physical, cosmetic differences.  All that you need is a tacit if never stated limitation on who gets to be elected, and an one-party monopoly on the district, and you’re good to go.

As we are here.  For the benefit of any natural born damned fools that may have wandered in: there is no South Vietnam anymore.  It was conquered by North Vietnam in 1975, shortly after a Democratic Congress – yes, the same political party as Rep. Jackson-Lee’s – defunded the defense of South Vietnam, in defiance of our promises made to that unhappy country as part of the cease-fire that ended the Vietnam War.  They are not living together side by side as two countries.  Because, well, again, the North Vietnamese conquered the South.  If Rep. Jackson-Lee likes, she could go ask Rep. Joseph Cao (R, LA-02) for the details of that event… assuming, of course, that she can make herself believe that an Asian-American can speak real English just as good as a Democrat can.

Second, and let us dispose of this right now: she’s not talking about North and South Korea.  We know this for three reasons:

  • First off, she was quoting a casualty rate of 58K, which is consistent with Vietnam War American casualties but not Korean War ones;
  • Second, North and South Korea are not anywhere near the point of having normalized relations.  Even by North Korean propaganda standards, which are only compatible by normal reality’s standards by the blindest accident;
  • Third: Rep. Jackson-Lee is a liberal Democratic politician, and they really are that pig-ignorant of American history.

In short: to quote a physicist friend of mine, that’s not even wrong.  But it is rather offensively ignorant, racist, and even racially ignorant.

Moe Lane

PS: Just one last point… mixing up Vietnamese with Koreans like that is, ah, well, not particularly culturally sensitive.  Different culture, different ethnicity, different language groups, and well, generally just different people.  Yes, Rep. Jackson-Lee, I understand that both groups commonly display epicanthic folds.  There’s more to it than that.

PPS: Yes, we’re running somebody against her this year.  John Faulk.  Bet you that they don’t all look alike to him.

The stray dog problem persists:

jisaacconnett Friday, July 16th at 12:42AM EST (link)

The sheer stupidity of Sheila Jackson Lee is just astounding, but the fact that she is an elected member of the US Congress is part of a long running problem in the Democrat party.

When Billy Clinton was the governor of Arkansas and was making noises of running for POTUS, I told people, when asked about my opinion of a fellow Arkansan, that they should not worry about him because I thought no one in his/her right mind would vote for such a pathetic boob. How much more wrong could I have been? At that time, in my naivete, I thought people had enough integrity and political savvy to vote for a more qualified candidate.

When Obama started his run for POTUS I again had great hopes that the great majority of the electorate would see what was so obvious to me, that this messiah wannabe was not qualified to be elected to be a dog catcher, and should not be allowed near the White House. Now, I truly wonder if this country can survive the fools that elected him to the office of President.

When I was a child, I often heard the the old political explanation that if the Democrats nominated an old yellow stray dog to run for political office, the Democrats would certainly vote for him. I must concede that this old sage has much validity. Billy Clinton, Sheila Jackson Lee, and numerous others are proof positive that an erudite and sober intellect and solid patriotism are not qualifications for political office in the Democrat party. Being in the habit of walking on four feet and occasionally heisting one leg also would not be a disqualifying factor.

Is there any chance we might be rid of her soon? She’s such a thorn.

And then I cry.

I was always under the impression that a political party wanted to put forward their very best people. If that holds true, I’d say that that the demonrat party is a hodge podge of intellectual misfits, brain dead hooligans. I have never in my life seen so many mentally challenged people in a political party as we’re seeing and suffering with now. It’s sad to say but the Republicans aren’t a lot better. In the real working world, on your job, you are expected to perform to your employers satisfaction. Isn’t being a represenitive an actual job OR is it something more ? Like a long term paid vacation. I think it would be nice if there were parameters that politicians had to live up to just like in the real world and not like in the make believe world of politics. Is a job performance review out of the question ? It would be fitting to be able to go to your represenitive and say…YOU’RE FIRED and not have to wait until the damage has been done waiting on an election to roll around. You certainly don’t get that luxury in the real work world !

Really? Who is the Repub equivalent of this moron?

The founding fathers had it right. Only property owners and those who could pass a simple test were allowed to vote. They did that, not to be demeaning of the poor and/ or stupid, but because that was the only way to preserve the nation, which was more important than being politically correct.

She beat Faulk in 2008 77 – 20. Faulk is trying again. The district has changed a bit i his favor- he might get 35%. If he beats her, the R’s will gain 90 seats.

Well, That’s NEWS to me.

My brother wasted 15 months of his life in Viet Nam all for nothing!!! There is no North & South Viet Nam. I watched as 1000′s flocked to the US Embassy in Saigon to escape as the Viet Cong approached the border to that city. President Johnson would not let the military handle that war as they knew best. They would capture a city, then leave. The VC would return to that city then the US would have to fight again to retake the city. Then with the “Red Chinese” sending troops into Viet Nam from Laos, Thailand & Cambodia, President Johnson was afraid of provoking the Red Chinese and their USSR allies and starting WWW3. I have to give “King George” HW Bush and his son “King George” W Bush credit for letting the Military handle the Gulf Wars or it would be just like Saddam Hussein stated “Another Viet Nam”.

is that none of this woman’s – what can we call this blather – “talk” will make it to the state endorsed media, no more than did the other dumbocrat’s amazingly stupid concerns re: islands TIPPING OVER.

Remember the outrage? The Republicans are soooo mean, after all, he’s an old man on meds!! Well, I’m no physician, but I think if you are so incapacitated that you dribble nonsense in public, meds or no meds, not only should you not operate heavy machinery, you should not be in CONGRESS!!

Maybe I’m just too old for this anymore but I don’t understand why morons like these get re-elected. Don’t people THINK anymore? Or is that not “hot”?

 

I am nauseated

I recently visited the Viet Nam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. and took the time to look up and find the names of many of my friends who did not make it back alive. I was almost sick then as I thought about how the politicians attempted to run a war and allowed over 56,000 Americans to die in vain. We could have won that war and saved South Viet Nam.

I hope the people of her district see this video and clip and replace her in November!

To think that this adult does not have the knowledge of history that a typical 8th grader has ruined my day.

If we don’t protect our rights today, we will not have any to protect tomorrow.

 

One Wonders?

As a Nam Vet, I have but one observation concerning Ms. Lee; Stupid has no cure.

Isn’t she the one that took a phone call while a constituent was asking a question at her TownHall meeting? That was really rude!

Hell hath no fury like an electorate ignored.

As I heard it said once, beauty is skin deep, but stupid goes all the way to the bone. I also liked the congressman who was worried about Guam capsizing if we sent too many troops there. What a maroon and how did he get elected?
footnote: Maroon is Bugs Bunny speak for moron.
